Pebbles for Thirst.

What is the best thirst-quencher OIL
the march? Weak tea and sterilized
water are the beverages officially rec
commended by paternal army council
wherewith to fill water bottles, though
the soldier is urged to drink as little
as possible lest he merely aggravate
this thirst. Most old soldiers have
their own pet theories on the matter
of thirst-quenchers, and offer them
freely (and generally in vain) to re.
cruitS.
One sergeant Of wide experience is
ready to stake his reputation on the
soothing effect of tangerine orange !;
another will chew licorice or tobacco.
But there is a reader and cheaper
way. A small, smooth stone is selected
and steadily sucked on the march to
keep the tongue moist. The recent
loss Of favorite pebble, his friend on
many a long march, has greatly sad.

ders. Her pride, was badly hurt. She
gave her arm to Tallman, and they
went on down the street, Sanders tag
ging along in the rear.
1t was that evening that Elsie told
Sanders he was a coward. Sanders
went away miserably and did not see
her again for two or three weeks. The
town sniggered, but everyone agreed
that Tallman was justified in trying
to win the girl, especially from fell
low like Sanders.
It was just about two weeks after
this episode that the striking event in
the towns annals occurred. 1t went
to bed with the Rio Grande flowing
peacefully before it and the desert and
the hills beyond. 1t awoke to the
sound Of rifle shots and the yells of
the Mexican brigands.
They had stolen upon the place and
shot down the handful of police. Now.
galloping through the streets, they
were looting stores, setting houses on
fire, and numbering all whom they
met. The town knew what had hap
pened the moment it awakened, to-
ward daylight, but it had never ex-
pected to share the fate of the other
raided border settlements.
Sanders staggered into his clothes
and ran into the street. The raiders
were still at work upon the business
section, but the little residential part
was about to be attacked. Isolated
parties were drawing nearer. Sanders
and Tallman and Elsie lived within a
stones throw of each other. On
reaching the street Sanders found
small body of men busy making a
barricade. A dozen or so of rifles had
been discovered, and an impromptu
company had been organized.
Travers. the self-constituted cap
tain, thrust rifle into Sanders hand.
Here, guess you're man enough
to use this, aren't your he asked
doubtfuIIy.
Sanders took it and loaded it. As
he did so cries were heard from a
street block away, answered by the
yells of the Mexicans. Another party
had stolen Into the town by differ
ent route, and was sweeping forward

Has Bible 2so Years Old.

John lehman of Juliaetta, Idaho.
has a Bible that was printed in Ans.
terdam, Holland, in 1886. The pages
OF the book, printed on red paper,
measure 1O1a by ~ inches. 1t has
board covers with leather trimmings
and the volume weighs % pounds. The
text Is German, while the title pages
are in English cut letters. 1t contains
four descriptive MAPS each surround
ed by symbolical pictures. These maps
are printed from wood cuts, showing
the Holy Land and adjacent territory,
and are very legible. The work con-
tains the imprint of Hendrick and Ja-
cob Keur, printers, of Amsterdam in
1856. The volume has been in the Hol-
land family for 220 years, having been
handed down as a precious heirloom
from father to son for generations un-
til its possession was acquired by the
present owner. Mr.. Holland was Of
fered $1,000 for the book by a Mil.
waukee collector, but refused to part
with it. He prizes the volume more
because of its family history than
from its intrinsic value.

Tallman was the first to start maxi
ing game of Sanders. Sanders was
an average little man of the type that
Is met everywhere. But the town was
small enough for everybody to see
everybody else several times a day,
and the hot Texan summer makes
men irritable or malicious, according
to their natures.
Sanders didn't drink, or smoke, and
he wouldn't fight. The last crime was
the deadliest. 1t was shown in this
way: Tallman had invited Sanders
to Join him at the saloon; Sanders
refused, and Tallman called him the
sort Of name no self-respecting man
takes. Sanders turned white, but he
didn't strike Tallman. That was San
ders' finish In the border town.
A man is expected to fight. Elsie
Duvai told Sanders as much when he
came calling. Sanders WINGED, but
only took his hat and went.
Elsie Duval was the unquestioned
UOAAC VI thAc pluCc. Livery man was
supposed to have proposed to her at
one time or another. Tallman, how
ever was accredited with leading
share in her capricious heart. She
had been interested ia Sanders be-
cause he was a new face, but Tall.
mans friends had recounted the epi-
sode. Everyone knew that little San
ders was infatuated with the beauty,
and they laughed at it, laughed at the
simplicity of the little man. Hell
get his quietus soon," they said.
He did. when he was escorting Miss
Elsie from church. Tallman stepped
out of the building a moment after
Sanders had given the girl his arm.
''What do you mean by butting in?"
ne demanded. miss Duval has prom
ised to walk home with me-"
Sanders looked at Tallman inquir-
ingly. 'T'm sorry If l intruded;
didn't know" he said.

rhe island of Crete. This quasi gov.
eminent has been more or less officially
recognized by France.
Meanwhile the allies adopted a Sc
ries Of measures which sooner or latel
were bound to bring out the fame of
resentment Of many Greeks. The
seizure of Saloniki, the great Greek
harbor, during the beginning Of Bal
kan operations has been followed by
the gradual stripping Of the Greek
government of its powers. Postal,
railway and telegraph lines have been
taken over, and as a climax the Greek
navy has been seized and the ships
stripped Of their guns. This latter
phase Of the situation is particularly
interesting to Americans, as the Greek
navy contained among its most mod.
ern units the battleships Idaho and
Mississippi, which were sold to Greece
in 1913 and rechristened the Kilkis
and LemnOs.
Never has the situation in Greece
been so fraught with danger as today
with French marines practically SUI
rounding King Constantine's palacs
and crowds of .Athenians stirred &c
fury by the oppressive measures taken
by the allies.
King Constantine Is known to feei
that the very existence of Greece Is al
stake. He has ordered that demon
strations against the entente must
cease because OF the possible conse
quences. With pubic opinion iniiamed
by the presence of the marines al
Athens and the Piraeus. it is scarcely
possible to assert that even the kings
orders will be obeyed Greek troops
are preserving order with difficulty.
Appeal to United States.
The United States government and
people are appealed to by the large
proportion of the Greek population
who resent the aggressions by the en-
tente. The Greek government has pro
tested to neutral powers against the
manner Of application of police control
In Athens, saying it is a serious viola
ton of the sovereign rights Of Greece.
