King Georges Joke.

King George is not without a sense of
| humor.
| The Hill of the Pnyx, under the sha dow
of the Acropolis, was the scene of many
popular gatherings in ancient times. A
| huge artificial terrace, four hundred feet
| long and two hundred feet wide, was cut
| out of the rock in the form Of semi
circle as an auditorium. A platform was
| cut farther back into the perpendicular
wall, upon which the orators used to ad-
dress multitudes which gathered there
whenever Athens was ag1tated DF pOut-
| ica1 excitement.
! The theater of Dionysos. the cradle OF
| the dramatic art. in which the plays OF
Sophocles. Euripides. Aschyles, Arlsto-
phanes and other satirists and dranlatists
were produced. is not far off. On the
| other side is the AreopaRus, or Mars Hill,
where, in. the spring of the year q A. d.,
Paul delivered that address which is re-
ported in the seventeenth chapter OF the
1 Acts of the Apostles

| Two or three years since, when the MN

After the expenditure of good zeal OF
oratory, resolution addressed to the

cabinet resign and new list Of ministers
| named in the resolution should De ap-
pointed in their stead.
| The king received the committee cor
daily and told them that their wish
| would be complied with. The men named
! were appointed, but their official career
was brief and tumultuous. They did not
satisfy the elements. which caused their
selection, and were attacked without
mercy from all sides.
| About three months after they assumed
power they waited in body upon the
| king, and formally rendered their resig-
nations. King George looked at the docu--
ment they handed him and observed
| dryly:
"Gentlemen, you have come to the

ATHENS, Greece, May s, 1910.
The application of the reform measures
recently adopted by the parliament or
| Greece. under pressure from the Military
League. which was described in my let
| ter yesterday, is going forward slowly,
| but in satisfactory manner.
The navy has been relieved of num-
| Der of incompetent and dissolute officers.
A military board is now going through
| the army list, and selecting candidates
| for dismissal and compulsory retire
ment.
The faculty of the National University
| has been reorganized on a basis OF econ
omy and harmony. Twenty or more sec
ond and third rate officials of the gov
ernment have been relieved of their
duties for the good Of the service.
The recent session of parliament accom-
plished more practical results than any
that has been held for many wears. But
new schemes of taxation have been
necessary, and the duties ON imported
goods have been increased in order to
meet the expenditures that have been
ordered.
Several measures for improving the
condition of the peasants and smali iano.
owners were adopted. \ consolidation OF
smaller states or provinces has been &C
complished in order to save expenses OF
administration.
Various snecures under the government
have been abolished. The executive de-
partments are said to be in better work
ing order than they have ever been.
If these reforms can be made per-
manent and the new laws faithfully
executed, much good will result to the
country. The Military League is entitled
to the credit
The politicians OF the old regime, which
the revolution was organized to over
throw, hope to recover their power and
influence. But the leaders OF the revolu-
ton are not likely to permit their efforts
to be wasted, and will continue a stern
censorship over the executive departments
as well as the parliament.

King Not Allowed to Resign.

The king has thought seriously Of abdi-
cation, and has repeatedly refused to
sacrifice his dignity and submit TO in
suits that have been offered him by the
politicians and the army. Persuaded by
England, Germany and Russia, he has
retained the scepter because his retire
ment would be followed by anarchy.
Early in April he left Athens and went
to his summer home at Corfu. in order
to avoid the necessity of paying his Gus
tomary round Of visits to the various
military barracks on Easter morning to
'eat an egg with the soldiers.
At a recent TIE Deum in the cathedral,
intended TO celebrate the restoration of
harmony between the parliament and the
army the king and queen alone appeared.
The absence Of the rest Of the royal
family was the subject of caustic criti-
ciSm.
The king should have returned to
Athens to celebrate his saints day on
the 9Th of May, which has always been
made the occasion of a great demonst1a-
ton. He remained in Corfu and the an
niversary was not observed.
All this indicates that he is not salts
fed with his situation.

the heir apparent Is called in Greece.
During the campaign against Turkey.
Smolenski, who is by far the ablest
strategist in the Greek army, was order
ed by the crown prince, his commander
in-chief, to take a certain position. Act
ing upon knowledge which the crown
prince did not possess, he used his own
judgment and won the only victory in the
field that was credited to the Greek army.
1t is entirely probable that If he had
obeyed orders his army would have been
annihilated But the crown prince never
forgave him.

project, planned by the government,
and abandoned through the failure Of
the company to meet h requirements
of the reclamation service, nay be
resumed. In this event, reservoirs
and bitches would be established on
the Malheur river and bring under
cultivation a vast noun of rich soil,
now useless, owing to a lack of water
for irrigation.
The land was promised to the Wa
gon Road company by the govern
ment originally as a reward for the
construction Of a military wagon road
UP the Malheur river and westward
toward the coast.
Nearly rs years ago the charge was
made that the road had not been built
through as promised, and the COM
pany imported into eastern Oregon
a large number Of Chinese, and built
the road as originally specified. But
this did not end the trouble over the
title to the land, which was in litiga-
ton for many years. Titles to por-
lions OF the land are now involved in
suits bending before the local United
States court.
Vast Grant Wa Made.
The company was promised every
"odd" section for a certain distance
on each side of the road, known then
as the military Wagon Road"
Much of the litigation directed
against the company to take titles to
some of this land from it has been due
to the refusal of squatters to vacate,
after they have made improvements
on 1t. They have fought their indi-
vidual cases in some instances at much
expense, with varied success.
Some of the land, lying on Snake
river and the Malheur river, is among
the richest and most valuable in the
eastern part Of the state. 1t is of an
a~lluvial formation, enriched by depos'
its of volcanic ashes. Much Of this is
now in cultivation, while some of the
best land, available to water for irri-
cation, has lain idle pending the will
of the owners to sell it at a price pros
pective settlers would pay.
