CONSTANTINE MAN OF ACTION
New Greclan Monarch Has Proved
Himself Worthy Of the Crown
He Has Inherited.

Constantine, the new king Of
Greece, is Of Danish and Russian
blood, his father having been a son Of
Christian TX. of Denmark, and his
mother being the eldest daughter Of
Grand Duke Constantine brother of
Alexander II. King Constantine was
born in Athens and brought up under
an English governess and German
and Greek tutors. Later on he went
to Berlin, where he received his edu-
cation as a soldier, being attached to
the Second regiment of Prussian foot
guards. In 1897 he took command Of
the Greek troops in the war with Tur-
key, but his army was crushed in
Thessaly In April last he was ap-
pointed inspector general Of the
forces, and has since shown himself
soldier of merit. At the moment Of
his accession he was in Epirus, con-
Quoting the military operations for
sweeping the Turks out Of that
province.

AutocratIc EnaIlshman.

One of the reason why English is
expected to become world wide Ian
guage is that English people refuse to
learn another. For instance, at Mus
cat, at the entrance to the Persian gulf,
there lived for many years an English
man, supposed to be the only, or al
most the only, British resident on the
1900 miles of Arabian coast line from
Alden to Koweit. 1t would seem that
he could hardly have escaped knowing
Arabic. Yet he confessed that he
could not speak a dozen words Of that
language. But how do you carry on
your trader" some one asked. "Oh,"
he replied, "the beggars have got to
learn English"

Exuulslte Agony.

TT was, to say the least Of t." a
London letter remarks, Just a little
bit awkward that the electric light
went out the other evening at the
town house of a presumably wealthy
widow who had been doing a good
deal Of political entertaining. The
guests, to the number Of a dozen, had
just finished their soup when the un-
fortunate incident occurred. The
scramble to find a sufficient number
of candles so that the dinner might
proceed was attended with a great
deal of difficulty and no little amuse-
ment, The butler, who is described
as being a bit new to his job, was i'm
mediately told to telephone to the
electric company, report the catas-
trophe and demand attention to the
matter. 1t was a trying moment for
the guests when he returned TO the
dining room and announced in real
Cockney accent: Please, my lady, the
gentleman what's on the telephone
says they sent several warning letters
unless the account was paid active
steps would have to be taken"

Hans has shaggy-coated dog. He
carries a stick in his mouth. His
services are really not required, and
he gladly walks quietly with the
drivers. The children keep the geese
from straying from the road on to the
tempting herbage of the banks, and
progress is slowly made under the
increasing heat of the sun. The
passage of so many hundreds of
webbed feet raises dust, so that by
the time the top of the hill is reached
it is very pleasant for all to leave the
road and turn on to the turfy ground,
in the direction of the longed-for wa
ter and the tree-shaded boggy land.
And now the older geese, the knowing
ones, may be seen to hurry forward,
quite outstripping the main flock, for
the goal is near. They see water
ahead. Their quick waddle becomes a
half-hight, until, with a joyful rush,
they dive into the cool waters Of the
pond, making ripping eddies as they
swim Willows ami poplars shade the

swampy land are backed by pleasant

land. Here comes the main flock;
rushing, cackling, splashing they go
into the pond until it is seething with
life The early comers have swum
across and are out again on the fur
ther side, grubbing in the grassland.
Hans throws himself on the ground
to rest after the dusty walk. His dog
stays with him. They spend the day
with the geese. Gretchen has other
work to do in the village, and after a
short rest she slowly trudges home

ONCE PATRIOTS WERE FOOLED
Had Struck a Lazy Neghborhood and
Nobody Would Order Him to
Stop His Work,

In the opinion of friends and
enemies alike Patrick was the LATEST
white man that ever drew breath. 1t
was one CT the anomalies of Patricks
existence that the only firm with
whom he could hold job was a coal
company whose strenuous methods
sometimes compelled him to be out
delivering coal at seven o'clock in the
morning.
Certain of the company'5 customers
and their neighbors resented that in
human activity almost as much as
Patrick did The first rafting Of coal
down the iron chute banished sleep,
and irate aristocrats who could afford
the luxury of a morning snooze popped
their heads out of the window and
ordered Patrick to postpone his la
bors until more reasonable hour
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1913-05-16

Patrick never disregarded that com
mand Backed up by united neigh
borhood, he could afford to be lazy, so
he curled up on the drivers seat and
slept until the street was asir.
Fortified by previous experience,
Patrick accepted recent order for
early service with comparative cheer
fulness. He reported at the coal yard
in good time, and at seven o'clock
the first shovelful of coal awoke
echoes in quiet residential street.
Having fired his first shot, Patrick
closed the chute and awaited the usual
command 1t did not come. He let
fly another volley. Still no tousled
heads, no angry voices. Another
shovelful, and still another, and an
other broke the stiffness Patrick
looked despairil gly at the lifeless win
dows.
For the love of Mike!" he groaned
"Ain't any Of youse people got spunk
enough to order me to stop shoveling
coal at seven o'clock in the morn
ing?"

H messed in summer time
AA the daily migration Of
hundreds of geese from
their confined quarters in the cottage
yards to the green uplands above the
hamlet. To one unaccustomed to the
sight it is a quaint and interesting
spectacle to watch the passing Of such
a flock on the highway and to follow
it until the goal is reached. In the
summer days the work of the village
begins very early. The men go to the
fields to guide the plow or prune fruit
trees. BuXom women are seen walk
ing to the allotments nearer home.
Girls help in the fields and the chill
dren go to school,. The youngest OF
these are liberated early; they must
not be cooped up in schoolroom IN
the heat of the day, so they are free
to help in various easy ways in the
work of the village. If you enter this
Hessian hamlet at half-past nine you
find quite a commotion, and you hear
the cackling of large numbers Of
geese. From nearly every cottage
gateway come geese, in twos, threes,
tens and sometimes twenty, each with
a dab of gay color on its wing, the
mark Of ownership The housewife
or her children "shoo" them out into
the road, and soon the village is alive
with them. The older members of the
flock soon steer in the direction of the
well-known pond, but the young re-
cruits are very unruly and want to
s..mple the contents of the gutter, or
to invade the yards higher up the
street But here comes Gretchen, one
of the daily drivers of the geese. With
a wisp of birch she gathers these will
full ones from under the great farm
wagons and out of the gutter, and
moves them along towards the old
castle, where the noise Of rattle an

Schloss, his coat thrown over one
