All the Greeks seemed to run well.
It is a matter of history h a the
Crown Prince Constantine was among
the most precipitate. In fact, the
story was passed round at the time
that he went by the first train, and
incidentally made several people go by
foot that a compartment might be
given up to several crates of geese
destined for the headquarters table.
It would be poor taste to revive this
scandal were it not for the fact that
six weeks ago the Greek forces, with
this same Grand Prince Constantine
at their head, gathered once more at
the same point on the frontier and
wiped out the past. Instead Of moving
back they marched forward through
frightfully difficult country, in an APP
parently unbroken record OF victories.
Possibly the numerical strength Of the
Turks opposed to them was less than 1t
was Is years ago. But the territory
through which they have passed is
such that a handfu could hold its
passes against a regiment.
Whatever the odds in its favor. the
Greek army and its royal leader have
proved their courage. Few could ac-
count for their Generalization on the
former occasion. Their present con-
duct makes that episode one Of the
lnexplicable events of history.

Some Ultimate Questions.

Will our sur I'M moon and earth
and the stars we see eventually pass
away? Is there any certainty that
other worlds are inhabited? What
will be the ultimate fate of the uni
verse? The first and third questions
may be answered simultaneously,
though in a final analysis the third
does not Omit Of an answer. Sun and
moon and earth, planets and stars and
all h visible universe in the course
Of aeons shall become cold, dead mass
es and finally dissolve; but, since sci
enc tells US matter is i~ndestructible,
their disintegrations may help to build
up other forms, to keep up the cosmic
order in an eternal round of revolu-
ton. Astronomers tell us there are
many Ole stars nearing dissolution
(such appear red), and 1T is supposed
that new ones are in process Of forma-
ton from the .nebulae of space. How
ever. It is futile to wander In the paths
Of groundless and fruitless specula-
ton. He who called worlds and stars
and systems into being by His word
still holds them In the hollow OF his
hand, and it is for us to bow down and
adore without questioning the why.
the wherefore or the whence. We have
no absolute evidence that there are In
habitants of other worlds.

Most People Secondary Stars
In Competition With Men
of Genius.

BY JOHN HUNTER sEDeWIcK.

BY JOHN HUNTER SEDGWICk.
We begin our paper with certain
cooling words on which h reader may
ponder a while, maybe to his improve
ment, IL not reform. The quotation is
taken from the letter to Sir Watkins
Phillips, OF Jesus college, that occurs
in Humphrey C1inker." The reader
can go to the original for 1t, OF If his
letters have run to a cross between
Clapham and Illinois, he may with
propriety see it set forth in Thackeray's
lectures on the English humorists:
II have observed that those who
shine most in private company are but
secondary stars in the constellation of
genius. A small stock of ideas is more
easily managed n sooner displayed
than a great quantity crowded togeth-
er. There is very seldom anything ex-
traordinary in the appearance and adj
dress Of a good writer; whereas, a dull
by some oddly or extravaganza"
These words, If received in a spirit
Of ~philosophic detachment and of that
loving humility of which we all have
SO much to say, may act as restorers
of hi sense Of the value of silence.
Not, reader, that what just now tinkled
from your lips was not Of a very high
quality indeed, not that by bottling
Your thoughts within the golden re-
cesses of your mentality for a little,
you may express something that shall
surpass all that you have uttered.
Smollett was a very sensible man with
vast practical experience and as
Thackeray points out this letter to the
baronet no doubt describes what Smol-
let had seer and heard. Thinking is
no little adornment to a pleasant prose
style and can be accomplished after dill
igent practice. Talking, in the sense
Of opening ones lips and emitting ar
ticulate sounds, is more easily per-
formed and, as Smollett says, on a
smaller stock Of ideas. This smaller
stock Is more easily managed, more
easily turned about and dangled before
the delighted hearers. Nine-tenths of
the talk that is uttered is q waste of
time, and the remaining part could be
diminished with profit to everyone. Few
people have anything to say that Is
interesting n this element generally
can come only from an experiencing
power, as Walter Bagehot called it. You
must think about what you see, either
at the time or afterwards, and always
remembering that the same thought
has likely come. to somebody else in the
same circumstances. Even when one
does think and does talk well, hal is
quite a different matter from putting
1t on paper. Somebody has exclaimed
on how many good hooks nave not been
written. Heine said Of Alfred de Mus
set, that he was a man with a yer

BLAME PLACED ON PHYSICIANS
Growth Of Drug Habit In United States
Alleged to Be Due to opiates
Ordered In Prescriptions.

That SO per cent. OF all The cocaine
and morphine manufactured in this
country is used by persons who have
formed the drug habit through physi-
clans prescriptions is the startling
statement made by DR.. l.. F. Kebler,
Chief of the Division of Drugs, Depart
ment of Agriculture. This statement,
concerning the appalling growth of
drug addiction in the United States,
was made by DR.. Kebler in an address
at Washington, before the American
Society for the Study of Alcohol and
Narcotics.
DR.. Kebler Is quoted by Washington
papers as having declared that drug
using had Increased 100 per cent. in
the last. 40 years, and that American
medical men were not discriminating
enough in their Use of opiates. Their
overindulgence to their patients, he
said, is creating thousands of drug
users every year
ut is a very sad thing to say that
our physicians are doing the greatest
work in promoting the use of cocaine
and morphine" said the doctor. state
laws are not saving the public from
the grip of the drug habit, and the
American public is sinking tighter
and tighter into the black abyss of
the morphine and cocaine fiend. d
THE worst of it is that the impor-
tation of opium into the country is
becoming larger and larger year by
year. I have heard it said on reliable
authority that 80 per cent. of the CO.
caine and morphine manufactured in
this country is used by persons who
have formed the habit through doc
tors prescriptions"
Almost simultaneously with DR.. Keb-
ler's address, DR.. J. A. Patterson, at
Grand Rapids, Michigan, in a public
statement said that 10 out Of every 20
patients who come to an institution
with which he is connected for treat
ment for the drug habit owe their
downfall to physicians prescriptions.

Fifteen years ago some 3s, 900 Greek
troops We're assembled on the Thes-
salon frontier. ready to oppose a Turk
ish invasion. The Turks turned their
position one night by the old, old trick
OF coming through the mountains by a
despised and weakly guarded footpath,
and morning found the Greeks in i'm
minent danger Of having their com
m~unications cut.
Then what q flight there was! First
to Tyrano, then, with the Inhabitants
of that place. back to Larissa; then,
with the inhabitants of both places,
all the width Of Thessaly. 1t was not
until Velutino n another range of
mountains was reached that the army
segregated itself from the horde OF
non-combatants n took stand for
the n battle that was to decide the
war.
The first Olympic games had taken
place the year previously, at Athens,
and a Greek had won the Marathon.
Some people found abundant reason
for his victory in hat rapid retreat.
