London, Sept. 1S-With the abdica-
ton Of King George of Greece. now
admitted to be forthcoming by his
closest adherents and the likelihood
that before many hours there will be
showing that the real
cause Of the disaster to the Grecian
royal house was the Cretan embroglio
which stirred the powers recently.
King Edward has counseled King
George, who is his brother-in-law,
against abdication and 1t was report
ed this anger was intense today when
he learned that the Greek king had
finally decided to leave the throne.
In Favor Of Son.
King George will abdicate in favor
OF his son, Prince George. instead of
the Crown Prince Constantine. ac-
cordiug to q rumor which came from
an authentic source. The crown
prince was this month given three
years leave Of absence from the Greek
army on half pay and it was announc-
ed that he was going abroad.
The military agitation has been dis
turbing at Athens ever since the Greek
nag WIS hauled down from the Cretan
barracks. Genera! dissatisfaction
broke into rank mutiny and several
companies stationed near Athens de-
serted. The unrest spread until there
was q hostile feeling against the min
istry. Then rumors began to be cir
culated that King George would abdi-
cate in favor Of the crown prince who
was commander in chief OF the Greek
army. Almost simultaneously how.
ever. a feeling Of hatred against Con-
stantine broke out and he announced
that he intended resigning from his
post. Both men were blamed more or
less for the f1asco in Crete and for
abominable conditions existing in the
army.
King Edward il said to have ad-
vised strongly against abdication. He
caused his resentment to be known to
the Greek king and also censured him
for not mixing in international affairs
IL Europe.

Making Room for Hosea

Dr. Edward Everett Hale was foe to long sermons. He used to tell a story of a long. .winded preacher and the minor prophets, which tho Washington Star reprints.
 This preacher once preached over an hour on the four greater prophets, and then, when his exhausted congregation thought he was through, he took long breath, turned fresh page, and leaning over the pulpit, said:
 We now come to the more complex question of the minor prophets. First let us assign to them their proper order. Where, brethern, shall We place Hosea?"
 An iraScible old gentleman in back pew rose, took his hat and stick, and said as he departed:
 Place him here if you want, to. I'm going home"

 The Fifth Annual Report of the New Haven County Anti Tuberculosis Asso- citation which has just been published during the past year. Two new buildings have been added to the Gaylord Farm Samitorium at WalliuGford, the Beebe Memorial and a residence for the Medi- cal Superintendent, Dr. David R. Lyman. At the time the first report of the Association was printedin 1905 there were I9 patients i'll the Sanatorium. During the past year the average num- Der of patients was 54. The present report is illustrated with s photo en- cravings of the various buildings, sleep ing corridors, shacks, tents, etc, includ- ing a picture of the dairy herd" The Association is justly proud of having a real farm from which it obtains vegeta- bles for use at the Sanatorium and furnishes clean milk to the patients,
 The number Of members this year is larger than ever before, being 738. The chairman of the executive committee, pr. s. P. c. Foster has also been made by the Governor, chairman of the new Tuberculosis Commission for the State charged with the duty of establishing isolation homes ill the different counties.
 Those who are competent to judge. maintain that the work of these homes. accompanied with that of the Gaylord Farm and other Sanatoria ill the State, will put Connecticut i'll the very fore front of the warfare against the Great White Plague.

TREATMENT OF ANIMALS
Great Debt to Four-Footed Races
 Should Insure Kindness.

Should Insure Kindness.
 \ large part of the energy of civiliza- tion has come out of the bodies of the great fourfooted races, declares F. How. ard Moore in the Chicago Tribune. The horse, the OK, the mule, the elephant the camel, the raindeer, the water buffalo, the yak the dog, and the donkey on the powerful the patient backs of | these patient beings civilization has been borne for unknown hundreds of years. The power and nobility of these rae, s have enabled man to carry out enter prises he never could have dreamed of undertaking single handed. Without horses or other beings able and willing to wield the great implements, agricul- ture, the basic of human industries, would be almost impossible.
 In the ideal state man treats the race S of beings affiliated with him not as oE- jects of pillage, but as beings with rights and feelings and capabilities of hapIi- ness and misery like himself. He Is hAIANN tO NtICAAI fttltt CF 0L A'A AAON he may gladden. and enrich tAeir neces- sariiy rleager lives.
 He gets reel pleasure by simply seeing then happy and realizing that he has in sol23 measure contributed to that happi- ness. He provides them plentyaa.to eat, co. fortable homes, vacation days in witch to rest, opportunities for pleasure aL4 p-.stlne, un education, and iniii m- aries for times of misfortune and decline.
 He does not drive them until they are ready to drop. He does not abuse them until they are so nervous and soured that they have to be muzzleds. to keep them from biting at passersby. He does not cut off their pretty tails nor rein up their heads into horrible posi- tions in the interest of an illiterate van- ity. He does not go around with a stick or whip with which to attack them whenever he does not feel well or things go against him at home.
 He talks to them. He treats them as the Arab treats his horse. The Arab regards his steed always as his comrade, as one whom he delights to please, taking him in&o his own tent if necessary, and put ting his arms around his neck, and look ing into his beautiful eyes, the assurance of true love and fellowship.
 In short, man, when he acts ideally, treats these beings at all times as associ- ates, not as slaves or machines; as his best friends and most faithful and val uable allies, They, on the other hand, come to recognize man as their true guide and benefactor.

 Brilliant Functions

Brilliant Functions
 The recent marriage. at Lalleville, of Miss Fannie Jameson, daughter of J. A

Dr. Mayhan, of New York, assisted by the Rev Fa- ther Ramon, of Lakeville. performing the ceremony. This was followed by 8 Mass, the party subsequently, being driven in automobiles to J. A. JamesOn's s Twin Lakes cottage. Here the decora- tiOns were magnificent and the recep- tiOn was held, being attended by consld- erably over one hundred.

Throughout the re- ception, Scofeld's large orchestra, of POughkeepsle, furnished music. When the hour came for the newleyweds to make their departure in an autOmO- bile, there was considerable animation and life, i'll which laughter, witticisms, good wishes, congratulations, tin cans filled with firecrackers, old boots and White satin ribbons figured conspicu- Ously. To use the expression of an eye witness, the departing bridal auto looked like "a comet gone crazy" MT. and Mrs. O'Connor are now in the Rangeley Lakes region of Maine. The bridegroom is an enthusiastic hunter and he hopes to get some moose in the Maine woods. Mr. O'COnnor is member of the New York law firm of O'Connor & Gillespie.
 Many of the metropolitan guests had never visited Twin Lakes before the day of the wedding and, inasmuch as the weather man had supplied an ideal Oct Ober day and the country was at it's best, they were all entranced with it's beauty.
 Among those present were: MT. and Mrs. William P. O'Connor, Edward A. O'Conner, Joseph O'Connor, James J. O'COnnOr and wife, Miss Valeria O'Con- nor, MT. and Mrs. Harry Brewer, Miss Brewer and Charles O'Connor, of New York; Colonel Hardie, Regular army; MT.

 Methodist Church.
 The Harvest Home service held in the Methodist Church, Sunday night, under the auspices of the Epworth League, was, in every respect, perfect success. The committees in charge not only spared no pains, but showed excellent taste in the arrangement of decorations, consisting of Autumn leaves, fruits, vegetables and flowers. Many who saw them said they had never before seen the church so beautifully and tastefully decorated. The program entitled "Peace and Plenty," consisted of songs, recita- tions and readings, all of which were we'll rendered. The unity and perfect harmony in the League make it a power ill the church.
