who also kindly provided the means of
transportation, party of congenial
souls hied themselves to fuckers Cove
early Sunday morning to spend the day
and partake Of a "St. Augustine din
ner" on the ocean beach.
Seven gophers had been exported for
the feast and the chef being a native of
the Ancient City certainly knew his
business, as the empty l0.gallon lard
can in which the stew was made aided
in bearing testimony. Other evidences
of good time we're lying about look

occasion. Beside the gopher stew a
bounteous spread was laid, the good
ladies seeming to vie with each other

Furnish Your own Change.

1t will probably be an item of news TO
most of our readers that our postmaster
is not compelled to make change for you
when you make purchases at Uncle
Sans Office. This is queer rule that
one in a thousand knows. Buyers of
stamps or any purchases at postoffice
must furnish their own change; i, e., the
postmaster could insist on you furnish
ing your own change if he sees fit to do
it; but usually is glad enough to get
rid of his Chicken feed" If any man
wishes to buy fifty cents worth ofstamps
and has but silver dollar, he would be
compelled to buy a dollars worth of
stamps or go out and get his dollar
changed or do without his stamps If the
postmaster was stubborn and refused
to make change for him. This is the
law and a queer one, And postmasters
are not compelled to take more than
twenty-five pennies from any one
person. OF course our own genial
postmaster will not demand this light,
but don't give him any back talk or he
may make you eat crow.

CASTE OF CHARACTERS
SYNOPSIS !:

The foundation of this great play oc-
Cured in Cyprus, and not in Athens as
is generally supposed, Ovid tells us
that there were two Pygmalions, one a
Grecian, the brother of Dido, and the
other Cypl tote, the son of elk, and
grandson of Agenor the then King of
Cyprus, and that it was the Cyprian
Pygmalion, the favored one of Aphro-
dite, who was a sculptor, In Cyprus,
where he carved statue in ivory mot
marble) of such exquisite proportions
that he fell in love with it and asked
his friend and goddess, Aphrodite to
grant it life, which he did, and the
marvelousy born virgin, endowed with
life, became The wife Of her creator,
the sculptor.
Thus the story, but the playwrights
are allowed liberties, even with gods
and goddesses, and Athens, the ancient
temple of learning and the arts, makes
better setting, perhaps, for the play,
and besides Pygmalion must have
wife or else there would be no occasion
for jealousy. which is the very spice of
the play and will be ably presented to-
night.

GREEK LEADERS IN FIGHT.
Nj. Venizelos Making Hard Struggle
to Tighten Taxes.

Athens.-M. Venizelos, the strong
man of Greece. is engaged in fierce
tussle with a system by which over
burdened taxpayers have been op-
pressed to meet the financial demands
of an ever-increasing list of sinecure
holders
In this dead-set against corruption,
NJ. Venizelos is supported by the
King and the more intelligent portion
of the working classes, and when the
new chamber meets in January, NJ.
Venizelos' position as Premier will be
greatly strengthened.
Events of the last few months have
led up to a situation in Greece that
gives rise to anxiety. When the Sep
tember elections to the National AS
sembly took place it was decided on
account of the military and naval
coup d'etat brought off by Colonel
Tsorbas and his colleagues two years
ago, to amend the constitution by
calling that body into existence in
place of the existing chamber of depu-
pties.
The then Prime Minister NJ Kaller.
gis, resigned with his cabinet, as un-
der changed conditions he thought the
crown ought to be free to choose It's
own advisers. NJ. Venizelos ther
formed a Ministry, and in the fore.
| front of his programme put the re.
storation of military discipline in the
army and the revision of the non.
| fundamental articles of the constitu.
, ton. His path proved a thory one
| it became apparent that an adverse
vote was popular at any moment, ant
on his advice the king dissolved the
Assembly.
Undoubtedly large majority of the
! Greek people are behind the strong
and able statesman, who is determin
! ed to carry through schemes of ma
tional regeneration. Whatever dis
orders occur are really in the natur,
of demonstrations against the partie.
of professional politicians, who woulC
frustrate NJ. Venizelos' public-spiritet
plans.
