Athens, Greece, Aug. 30.-A part of
the local garrison, under the leader

left the barracks, marched out of the
city and are now encamped in the
suburbs. The men are dissatisfied
with the present ministry and condi-

step the cabinet of Premier Rhallis
has resigned and King George has
asked M. Marvomichaelis to form a
new ministry.
There has been marked unrest
among the officers of the Greek army

PROTECTION FOR SQUASH.
Two Practical and Inexpensive Plans
to Prevent Ravsses Of Borers.

Two Practical and Inexpensive Plans
to Prevent Ravsses Of 6orers.
The most difficult matter about
growing squashes is to protect the
vines from the various insects that
prey upon them. This Is especially
true In the home garden and small
plots near buildings OF near where
squashes or other vine crops were
grown the previous year, because the
Insects hibernate in the buildings and
IN the ground near the vines they fed
upon for the winter. For the striped
cucumber beetle there is no poison or
repellent that will prove effective and
satisfactory at all times. The box

ed with wire screen, which Is set over
the hill when the seeds are planted
and left on until the plants get too
large. Protectors Of this type may be
made OF old pine boxes or other odds
and ends, and they need not cost over
0 cents apiece, even II the lumber must
be purchased. Another style, In the

did you tell them anything" asked
Mrs. Winter.
Archie looked at her reproachfully.
Did she think that he had gone TO
boarding school for nothing? He ex-
planned that, being a stranger in the
town. he could not tell anything about
where he'd been. There was an agent at
the house trying to sell stoves, and they
let him take him on back TO the hotel.
The man seemed TO know all about
who ne (Archie) was. and about his
having gone away. The men asked
him an awful lot OF questions about
how he was taken away He said he
didn't know, and he'd promised not 10
tell He couldn't tell. They said he
would have to go TO jail II he didn't

dealt with the greaser their own way
and he'd never get up to the light
again"

Smith with a shudder.

Rebecca. dryly "Archle. you must

The boy caught at his lip which was
trembling. and ended with a shaky
laugh. Miss Smith clenched the fist
by her side; but she dropped the arm
near Archie. and said in a matter-of
fact. sprightly tone: Archie. you
really ought TO go dress-and wash
