Danes began their work only 12 Of

names of men, several of whom made
regulations that still survive.
The most curious discovery of all is
described and pictured in the last
report of the society While the party
were eXcavating along the face of an
ancient wall built some 200 years be-
fore the Christian era, they came to
the edge of a carving in the rock.
They followed It eagerly for days
before they knew certainly what II
represented. Finally they brought
the whole carving into view and II
proved to be a representation in re-
lief of the stern of an ancient Gre.
clan vessel.

perts who have seen either the orig

hagen say that it is a faithful repre-
sentation of an ancient ship. The
relief Is In no respect embellshed for
decorative effect, but is a reproduc-
ton, perhaps on slightly smaller
scale, OF the stern of a Greek vessel
of the Hellenic epoch.
Some of the coins of that time
show reliefs of vessels and a consid.
cradle number of representations of
ships have been discovered. The
largest is now in the Palazzo Spada
and the resemblance between 1t and
the relief found at Llndos Is very
striking. The relief, however, has far
more detail and it was splendidly
executed piece of work.
On the side of the ship an inscrip-
tion was cut into the stone showing
that the relief was not meant merely
as an ornament. II was hewn out OF
the rock TO form the base of a statue
In bronze in honor of Hagesandros.
The statue has not been found but
the remains of an iron fence erected
In front Of the relief were unearthed.

Claims Transfer was Made to Defraud.

Canton. o.. June 24.-Attorney r. S.
Shields, administrator OF the estate of
Abner Mckinley has begun suit against
Anna Allen, former wife Of Abner Nc
Kinley, and her daughter, Mabel Nc
Kinley. to set aside a transfer OF real
estate in Canton made by Abner Nc
Kinley to his wife in 1904 The aver.
ment is that Mckinley was then in
solvent and his wife knew it, and that
the transfer was TO defraud creditors
who had claims amounting to 100000.
The value of his estate was not suf-
ficient to pay creditors. but the one.
fifth share of the William Mckinley
estate will probably pay the claims.

One Step at a Time.

II is wonderful how much practical
wisdom about the smallest perplexi-
ties of daily life comes to men who
keep both their feet and their wishes
still until Providence-the world pre-
fers to call It "circumstances"-
clears path for them. No doubt in
all our lives there come times when
we seem to have been brought into a
blind alley, and cannot see where we
are to get out; but 1t is very rare in
deed that we do not see one step in
advance the duty which lies next us.
And be sure of this, that II we are con.
tent to see but one step at time, and
take II, we shall find our way made
plain,-Rev, Alexander Maclaren.
