ASPIRES TO ROLE OF
PETER THE HERMIT

Berlin, July 23.-5pecial)-Prince Max
of Saxony, brother of King Friedrich
August apparently aspires to play the
role of a modern Peter the hermit.
The prince, who is professor at FRI
bourg university, lately delivered lee
ture on the subject of the Greek monas-
terry at Mount Athosm, in which he spoke
strongly about the evil of Moslem DOM
nation on Christian ground. He has now
followed this up with a strong attack on
the Protecting Powers In the Cretan
question. The article appears in recent
number of the 'Hoelnische Volkszei-
tung.'
1--WE have long" writes Prince Max,
got used to what Christiandom should
never get used to, namely, to the exclu-
sion of divine truth from political life,
and in particular from international af-
fairs. But seldom did this condition ap-
pear so repulsive as today. owing to the
conduct of the European powers in the
question of unlucky Crete. From the
Christian point of view, the unjust treat
ment of Crete is all the worse owing to
the fact that the island is one of the
oldest provinces of Christiandom. Crete
was Christianised In apostolic times.

Paul, the apostle of the people, preached

Paul, the apostle of the people, preached
the message of salvation after his first
Roman captivity. How can a Christian
heart forget Crete. All that is beautiful,
noble and holy has been shown by this
island. Later Crete has one of the great
est men of the Eastern church on her
metropolitan chair of Cortyna, st. An
drew, always known as of Crete An
other famous writer was Elias, also
metropolitan of Crete. What st. Andrew
feared came about. The Saracens came
to Crete"
After describing the history of Crete
up to the final loss to the Turks in 1862
Prince Max concludes:
But who does not hope that the days
of the tenth century will turn? 1t cannot
be said that the dominion of the Turks
no longer presents a danger, and that
It Is bearable for the Christians. That
can be said only by those who have
never experienced what Turkish mastery
means. The ministers of the great pow
ers think that it is easy to live under
such rule. But it is an act of cruelty
for us, living under civilized conditions
to thrust back the Oldest Christians of
the east into such Turkish conditions
These words are written in order that
at least one voice should be raised in
protest against the conduct of the Eu-
ropean powers. That 1t will be voice

she WINS Not Crazy

A Mrs. Mogg wanted to put the family
dog into the grave of her husband, which,
to say the least, was queer.
Now Mrs Mogg has died and has left
10000 to a hospital, whereat the heirs
have brought suit to break the will. They
declare Mrs. Mogg was insane and plead
the dog incident as proof
But why insane? 1t may be granted her
funereal impulse was much ont of date,
but
Burying dogs and other animals with
the dead was all the rage in the early
history of the race.
For many centuries 10, the poor Indian.
kept the custom of his ancestors by going
to his happy hunting ground along with
his favorite dog and gun.
Back east our Aryan ancestors were
much more savage in their burial eccen-
tricities. Even up to recent times 1t was
the custom in India to pile mans living
widows into funeral pyre, put the dead
body on top of the poor wives and set
fire to the mass.
In the interior of Africa they do it
differently. They dig trench, put into
1t the body of the big chief and then
kill selected number of his wives and
bury them with him.
Poor human race 1t has been slow in
getting away from savagery.
Looking backward, we can see how far
we have come by the way of progress.
Note another incident: Not long ago
a meteor fell near Ell Paso. Tex, and
exploded. starting a forest fire.
What happened? Why, the people
merely set to work to put out the forest
fire, and that was all of It, except some
of the fragments were picked up and
sent to the college museums.
Suppose such a thing had occurred 600
years ago? The Inhabitants would have
been on their knees expecting the end
of the world They would have acted like
some of our ignorant who dreaded the
coming of Halley's comet.
A few s'.persttious ones still regard the
phenomena of the universe as miracu-
lous, but the great mass of the people
know better We have been educated far
away from our ancestors.
But poor Mrs. Mogg is simply what
they call ''reversion to type" Desiring
to do something for the dead she loved.
the idea of her savage ancestors popped
into her head, and She thought to cheer
the poor ghost of her husband with the
company of the faithful dog.
There are. lot Of people outside the
asylums more nearly crazy than Mrs.
Mogg.

Byron,s Old Home

London, July %. = Especially = Lady
Chermside. who died recently, was wide
ly known as the owner of Newstead alb
hey, Byron's home. having inherited that
domain from her father, Mr.. w. F. Webb,
who purchased 1t in 1861 from the trus-
tees of Colonel Wildman, to whom 1t was
sold by Byron for $475000. He expended
a still larger sum In Improvements and
on the restoration of the abbey and its
old terrace gardens.

But even if the European powers now
neglect their duty, it is none the less
certain that the day of deliverance will
come. God does not need men, He has
set many on thrones and in other re-
sponsibe positions in order that they may
serve His people, and advance His cause.
But when these men do not correspond to
His plans He works without them, and
thus without them. the people of God
will be freed What an hour of rejoicing
will this hour of deliverance be! What
the Moslems lose they Will never regain.
After that we may hope that Crete, the
old island of Christianity. will remain
forever under Christian rule"

Heart To Heart Talks
BY EDWIN A. NYE

No; small boys run away from home
every little while.
In Sammy's case there was reason
he wanted his hair cut like pas.
His mother compelled him to wear long
hair and dressed him in Little Lord
Fauntleroy' style. Not being that sort
of boy, he revolted and ran away
| Probably he has returned ere this, fol-
lowing sundry adventures. II so, you
may be certain the curls have disap-
peared.
| He was doubtless received after the
time honored custom of receiving prod
igal sons.
And his mother knows more.
There are many ways by which you
can make miserable the life of a real boy.
| One of them, which is to treat him as
| If he were a baby is the refinement of
cruelty.
| To dress up a manly little kid in
manner markedly different from that of
his fellows and turn him loose among
them is to subject the poor boy to merci-
less persecution.
| The other boys ask no better fun than
to jibe at him in the street vernacular,
call him Sissy boy pull his curls,
blacken his eyes and rub his nose in the
mud.
| A youngster has hard enough time In
the republic of Boyville to adapt him
self to democratic treatment without suf-
fering the handicap put upon him by
the fad of fond and foolish mother.
| And the boy who will willingly submit
to be fused over and made to pose as
a young aristocrat probably has some
thing the matter with him.
Better see the doctor.
Or II he submits unwillingly and has
in him the making of man take him
down to the corner and leave him with
few active hustlers of his own size and
age.
T He will probably come back whipped
and crying, but demanding that he be
dressed like other boys Put plain toys
on hi mand turn him loose again.
He may come back from the corner
whipped, but not crying. He will take
his punishment like man.
Boys will be boys, not babies.
When Sammy protests that he wants
his hair cut short, better send him to
the barbershop.

tainly do enjoy reading The jeff, and
especially the editorials which Mr.
Watson writes. | think he is fighting
a great and noble battle, and believe
he will live to see it won. 1t seems
that the dark ages are coming again
| think it was an outrage, the way
Mr.. Watson was treated in Atlanta.
| have noticed some few thoughts
with great interest, but beg to differ
with those who believe in giving the
boy the advantage of the girl. 1t is
a sure fact, if you give the boys the
advantage in education, you give
them the advantage in every thing
else. Why shouldn't the girl have an
equal education with the boy?' She
might help put an education in the
heads of some of the boys who are
daily walking the streets of towns
and cities, and boys that are con-
tinually wandering over the country
spending every cent they can get for
tobacco, which is disgrace to the
growing generation. | positively do
not believe in women entering into
politics and corrupting the homes, as
it would do; for what would a home
be if the mother was holding some
government position, leaving the
father at home to look after the little
ones and mess up everything. God
forbid the day when this shall hap
pen. The Bible says God put woman
here for a helpmate to man, and to
help man is for her to attend to the
little ones and keen John sonnet hing

sides by the river, and my yard is
full of hiCkOries, palmettOs, oaks,
myrtles and cedars We have a few
flowers, mostly of tropical variety.

Cousins will visit me, | will take you

fine farming and truck lands Let
tuce, celery, beans and all kinds of
vegetables are grown here for the
early markets. Corn and rice and
other grains are produced in abund-
ance. The river abounds in fish and
oysters, and is traversed by the A. G.

has transportation by the Seaboard
Air Line Railroad. We have a fine
school and three churches: Presby-
terrain, Baptist and Methodist There
are some of the finest orange and
grapefruit groves in the state here
in this county and also one of the
largest lemon groves in the world.
