Defy the Six Powers.
The spectacle of the six great pow
ers working in the dreaded Eastern
question is matched by the equally
strange spectacle of the Balkan States
defying them. Meanwhile the concert
of the powers remains as strong as its
weakest link, and since Russia cannot
be expected to use her army and navy
against her Slav brethren to loosen
their grip on the Turk, the proceed
ings have been reduced to diplomatic
debate.
The allies have accepted the pow
ers' peace terms as "a basis of nego-
tiations," but cling to their determine
tion to exact an indemnity and refuse
to muzzle their guns until the Turks
accept their terms. Their experience
of)-the last armistice, they declare,
was that Turkey used it merely to
gain time.

suggested that he liked his coffee lit
tie stronger than the wife was making
1t. and she whirled on him, threw the
utensiI at his head and opened such
tornado of abuse that he sat with his
mouth open and stared at her in dumb
surprise.
The good man was still wondering
what had broken loose when the wife
slapped his face and pulled his hair
and ran for the river vowing that she
would drown herself He sprang up
and followed her, of course, and caught
her just as she was going to take the
plunge.
Ten days later there was a second
outbreak. The deacon got abuse, pro-
family and more vigorous slaps, and
again he caught his wife on the bank
of the river.
In one year there were ten or twelve
outbreaks. and. of course, the matter
became town talk. The good deacon
finally went to his minister about it.

The minister whispered In the dea-
cons ear for the next ten minutes, and
the plan was laid. Three days later
there was a dispute over a roller towel,
and the outbreak came At the prop
er moment the wife ran for the river
and was pursued. She was not over
taken, however. She was not seized
and implored She was under such i'm
petus that she went into the river with
great splash. There was a man with
a boat there. but be let her imbibe
several gallons of water and sink twice
before he rescued her. She was in bed
for week, and when she crawled out
she was an altered woman. She was
humble and contrite and never again
had one OF her spells. In fact. she,
made one Of the best wives in town.

congratulate himself many times over

What she needed was the water cure

acted, and he returned home to say TO
his sister:

Deacon Goodman was known among

be argued with. and he had oftek
changed his mind. but in this matter
he was as obstinate as a mule. The
minister and others talked to him, but
without avail He was on hand on the
day named The sister had nothing to
say for or against. and it was decided
that the marriage should take place In
two weeks. 1t came of according to
schedule. and the deacon took his bride
