On one side of il was some writing

WIN precise correctness by Adolph
Wilhelm, an Austrian savant. who
lives In Athens The tablet is the
original OF private letter that was
written about the time Of the orator
Demosthenes
TIE writer OF the letter lived in
rural neighborhood and wished to send
a commercial order to a town. The
form OF the address was: ITO be
taken to the pottery market and to BIZ
banded to Nausias. or to Thrasykies.

writer was meant. The weekly mar

progress There the boy who was
bearer ri the letter was to find the
stand or booth of one Of the three per-
sons TO whom it was addressed and
denver II to him. The text Of the let
ter says: "Mnesiergoes greets you
cordially. he greets your family with
the. same esteem and wishes them
good health, and he says also that his

So much for the letter. to the mo-

Apparently II was written In winter,
poor Mnesiergos having been surprised
out In the open country by one Of
those icy snowstorms which sometimes
even at this day cover the temples of
Acropolis with mantle Of snow.
Therefore he desired to receive as
quickly as possible the heavy and
warm garment of the poorer country

bought for Az drachms, and the
strong soles which were worn under
the ordinary sandals on the rural
plains and hillsides. good pair OF
the latter could be bought for four
drachmas. as a well-preserved bill of
that date shows.
A noteworthy feature Of this artless
letter is the formula that may be found
used In very numerous letters that
were preserved by the Greek literature
OF later times. Even at the present
day every letter written by a rural
Greek begins with the same cordial

GRANTS POOR MARKS

Major-General Frederick D.
Grant, the eldest son of President
and General u. S. Grant was not
long ago guest at dinner given
by certain college and school
teachers. The chairman rose to
introduce him. He had hunted up
an old story about the Grant family,
and was much pleased with himself
that he had something so interest
ing to say.
"When Fred Grant was boy at
West Point, he began, his father,
the famous general, wrote to the
commandant inquiring how the son
was progressing.
You need not worry the
commandant wrote back. Your son
is getting better marks in every
thing than ever you had in any,
thing"
The gentleman was not quite so
self-satisfied when General Grant
rose to respond.
THAT is perfectly true story"
he said smilingly. IL remember
the incident perfectly, but there
is a mistake of one generation. I,
and not my famous father, am the
general who wrote to the COM
mandant; and my son is the one
whose father had such poor marks.
But never mind Mr.. Chairman, it's
all in the family. THE Christian
Herald.

ELEVEN TONS OF DIAMONDS.

The days work at the mine was
over and Fredick Wells, the surface
manager, was making his usual
rounds. CHANGING along one side
of the deep excavation. his eye
suddenly caught the CLEAN of a
brilliant object far up the bank.
He lost no time in climbing up to
the spot, where he noted the CLINT
Of light. He had not been mistaken;
it was brilliant crystal. He tried
to pull it out with his fingers and
as this proved impossible he sought
to pry il out with the blade of his
pen knife. To his surprise the
blade of the knife broke without
causing the stone to yield. Then
ne knew it was a large stone So
large and brilliant was the stone
that he feared he was either dream
ing or was insane.
Determined to test the stone on
the spot before proceeding further,
Wells rubbed off the dirt from one
of its faces with his fingers and
soon convinced himself that it was
not lump of glass, but diamond,
apparently. He finally succeeded
in prying out the stone, and bore
it away with him to the office of
the mine. Here it was cleaned, and
to the establishment of all, was
found to have a weight of 1929
karats. more than three times that
of any other diamond that has been
discovered. Before many hours
passed the telegraph carried
tidings to all parts of the world
that the greatest diamond of this
age or any other age had been
brought to light.
1t has been thirty-nine years,
since July lo, 1871, since the dis
covery of diamonds in South Africa.
Do you know how these great mines
were discovered? A trader stopping
over night with a Dutch farmer
saw the children playing with
brigtq marbles. The trader took
the white stones to Cape Town and
found they were diamonds of
wonderful beauty and great value.
In these thirty-nine years about
eleven tons of diamonds have been
taken from Kimberly mines.
Think of eleven tons of diamonds
like eleven tons of coal being
dumped into your cellar.-Ex-

SUPPLY AND DEMAND

When a Chicago pork packers
pew rent was raised during de-
pressed condition of the market he
exclaimedin despair: "The Gospel
going up with pork going down!
What are we coming to? Well,
we may be coming to a condition
in which the supply of clergymen
will be so short that their price,
like that of corn or cotton when
the harvest is unfavorable, will
advance. Within the last few days
two clergymen have left the pulpit
on the ground that their incomes
were insufficient. One minister
gave up $500 a year to become
f1oor-walker in Boston store, and
the other. has resigned a pastorate
with salary of $1,000 without
making any arrangements for his
future. Nearly all the denomi-
nations have ben complaining that
the attendance a the theological
seminaries has been falling off. If
the supply of new ministers be
reduced and the number of those
already in the pulpit be depleted
by designations, the time will soon
come when the churches will have
to raise salaries or go without
pastors.

There is NOR e Catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it
local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment.

by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo,

GOVERNOR DICKERSON
ATTEMPTS TO whip
EDITOR MONTROSE

Shortly before ten o'cl, ok last
evening the governor of the state
Of Nevada. Denver S. Dickerson,
took it upon himself to purify the
press of the state and in his
attempt thought it best to start
with the News office.
There is many a slip twixt the
cup and the lip and that was the
occurrence of last evening. The
Reno Gazette of August ID con-
tanned an article which seemed to
ruftie the, feathers of the acct
dental governor of the state and
he longed to wreak his vengeance
upon someone, so Montrose of the
News was selected as the man.
With his henchman and valet,
Jimmie Finch, the doughty COVER
nor, armed with a heavy cane and
from the position in which he
carried one of his hands, something
more formidable, entered the
News Office in which were sitting
D. K. Smith, editor of the Appeal,
VIM. Harrington, foreman of the
News Job Plant and Geo. A. Mont
rose, editor and proprietor of the
! News.
Montrose was sitting leaning
back in his chair with his feet
upon the desk, Dickerson walked
over to his seat and holding his
cane in threatening manner asked
did you write hat article in the
Gazetteer" Montrose replied mo,
did not write it nor know any
thing about it. l always sign what
l write" Dickerson replied 1T is
a good thing for you that yu
didn't Montrose then made the
remark "You are apparently look
ing for trouble?" Dickerson
answered by making an attempt to
hit Montrose in the face, the blow
falling short and grazing Mont
roses collar. Monrtruse leaped to
Ahis feet, caught Dickerson by the
throat and forced him across the
room upon table and while driv-
ing blow into his face was over
powered by Harrington and othe RS
who stepped into separate them
while Smith ran out in the street
and spoke to an officer.
The scrappers were separated
and Montrose ordered both Finch
and Dickerson out of his office.
Dickcrson stated that he would 90
when Re got ready. Montrose
walked to the telephone to summon
an officer when Dickerson left.
Following is the sworn state
ment of William Harrington one of
the witnesses:
Stat of Nevada,
County of Ormsby SIS.
At about $40 last evening
George A. Montrose, D. K. Smith
and myeslf were sitting in the edit
orial office of the News, talking
over matters of general interest.
Presently Governor Dickerson and
his private secretary, James D.
Finch, entered. We looked up and
| was about to leave, as is my
custom when a person entered the
office on what think is a private
matter. Montrose was sitting in
an office chair leaning backward.
Governor Dickerson said: mont
rose, did you write that article in
the Reno Gazett?" Montrose re-
piled: II did not. am willing to
acknowledge the authorship of any
thing write"
Following this was moments
silence. Governor DickersoD look
ed at him in the meantime, swing
ing his cane in a nervous manner.
Montrose was the first to speak
and said "You are evidently look
ing for trouble; if you are, why
don't you start it," With this
Dickerson advanced and struck
