PRINCE CONSTANTINE WILL
TAKE THE THRONE WITH
OUT ANY DELAY.

Saloniki, March 19.-Aleko Schi-
mas, murderer of King George OF
Greece, appears to have lived much
abroad. He returned to this city
only when it was occupied by the
Greek army after the surrender OF
the Turkish garrison.
The premeditation of the regicide
appears to be established by the fact
that Schinas lurked in hiding He
rushed out when his royal victim was
only six feet from his hiding place
and fired point-blank into the back
Of the king. The shooting occurred
only few yards from police head
quarters.
Lieutenant Colonel Francoudis,
the kings aide-de-camp, who was
walking beside his royal master, I'M
mediately drew his revolver. Schi-
mas turned and fired at the aide-de-
camp, but the shot went wild. Two
Cretan military policemen, who We're
acting as an escort to the king,
dashed at Schinas and pinioned ms
arms before ne could IRE &gain.
When Francoudis saw that the as
sassin had been arrested, he turned
to King George, who, he supposed,
had escaped unscathed, and was hor.
rified to find his majesty stretched
upon the roadway.
Francoudis raised the stricken
monarch's head from the pavement,
but the king was already unconscious
and he never spoke again.
Soldiers who had been summoned
by the shots lifted the king from the
ground and carried him to hospital.
He expired on the way without recov-
ering consciousness.
When questioned by the police
Schinas replied:
You have courts | will speak
there" ,al
Pressed to say who ne was and
what was the motive of the crime,
he replied
Take me to the police station so
that crowds shall not maltreat me. /
will speak there
On reaching the police station he
gave his name and a few particulars
about himself.
Body Is Removed.
The body of the late King George
Of Greece was embalmed today and
removed from the hospital at the pal

Are You a Good NeighbOr?
II So, You Never Fawn, FIatter or
Get Jealous of Your
Friends.
p By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
RE you a good neighbor?

A RE you a good neighbour
"A What is a good neighbor?
Perhaps you are a royal good
chum with the popular people of your
town, and show them all sorts of
courtesies, and you rejoice in their sue
cess, and you defend them against
envy and malice.
That is a part of a good neigh
boris duty.
But how do you conduct yourself il
they get in trouble?
Are you ready to stand by them
in poverty and sorrow as faithfully
as IN prosperity and popularity
VIII you be the last TO censure.
even If compelled to believe, when
you hear they have made grievOus
Mistakes II IS not a good neigh
bor's or a good Christians place to
deny facts or cOndOne crime
There are many people TO be found
IN country places who are filled with
envy Of anOther's success. They show
II BY keeping alOOf and assuming a cold
and Indifferent manner.
They try to find some flaw to pick
in the popular or successful neigh
Dor; they begrudge him all his pleas
ures and his triumphs; but let him
fall sick or lose his money and they
will fly to his rescue.
They viii show him sympathy in
his misery where they begrudged him
congratulations in his happiness
This is admirable in a way, yet not
an altogether cOmmendable quality
If YOU are this type of a good
neighbOr do not take pride in it
1t indicates that you are filled with
envy of anOther's success, and that
you like to bestOW favOrs in order
to prove that you are in a superior
position, rather than from a spirit Of
pure brOtherly love
If the latter spirit dominates YOU,
you would be the really good neigh
Dor, who rejOices in his brothers
hour Of pleasure and sorrows in his
DAYS of adversely.
It Is, of course. more admirable to
treat a man kindly who is down than
one who is up, if you have not nObil-
him kindly at all times; but when you
wait to show your good neighbOrli-
ness until disease or death knocks at
his door, you are, in a certain meas
ure, placing yourself with the birds
OF prey who follow after death and
disease, and not with the song birds
that sing him awake in the sunlit
mornings of the summer.
A good neighbOr is never jealous: he
never 1aWns; he never flatters; he
never envies anOther's success; he
congratulates him sincerely when hap
piness and prosperity come: he sympa-
thizes sincerely when trouble and sor-
row are at his door, and he encour-
ages him to live down error and start
life anew when he has made mistakes.
He makes his neighbOr realize that
he is at his command when needed,
but he does not obtrude himself either
in his joys or sOrrOWs.-COpyright
