THE ISLE OF UNREST.

One of the many questions to be settled by the Peace Conference now sitting in Paris is that dealing with the fate of the Island of Crete. Long held by Turkey and claimed by Greece, the peace of the island has for years been interrupted by ire quent conflicts.
 It was just 22 years ago Friday that Greece and Turkey engaged in war to settle the Cretan question. The Cretain insurgents had obtained pos session of almost the entire island, and the Greeks went to their aid. The Powers interfered, suggesting that Crete be endowed with an absolute autonomy, under the suzerainty of the Sultan, but this arrangement was satisfactory neither to the Turks nor the Greeks and Cretans. The armies of Turkes, superior in numbers and training, easily conquered the Greeks in a campaign lasting only a, few weeks. The Greeks were command later became king and is now an ex- ile living in Switzerland. On the eighth of May Greece sued for peace, and gained it on terms that were rendered tolerable only by the pres sure brought to bear on Turkey by Russia, and other powers.
 Germany and Austria soon after ward withdrew from the European concert, and Great Britain, France, Italy and Russia forced the Sultan to yield to their ultimatum demanding autonomy for Crete, anad the with drawaI of all Turkish troops.
 In 1904 EIeutherios Venizelos. later premier of Greece and today regard ed as one of the greatest statesmen in Europe. raised an army, took to the mountains of Crete, his native land, and proclaimed a union with Greece. He was, however, compelled to sur render. He continued his struggle and his efforts were eventually crown ed with success, while he became so popular with rhe Greeks that he was elevated to the premiership, and gave 10 the Hellenic ship of state the guidance Of a strong hand.
 In ancient times Crete was celebrat- ed for it's hundred cities, it's labyrinth to secure the Minotaur, and the law ws Of it's King Minos. It was conquered and held in turn by the Romans, the Saraccns. the Greeks, the Feuetians, the Egyptians and the Turks. The regime of tho Turks began in 1869, when the island was captured after a siege lasting 24 years in which more tha-a 100000 men perished. From 184i until 1908 the island was in an almost constant state of insur- rection. and the Cretans are thus sol diers born and bred, and as brave and hardy a type of men as may be foupd upon the globe.

ANNIVERSARY OF THE THEFT OF A
 RAILROAD TRAIN

In the National cemetery at Chatta-
 nooga there is a monument, sur
 mounted by miniature locomotive.
 which is an object of interest to all
 visitors. It commemorates one of the
 most thrilling adventures of the Civil
 War, and today is the 57th anniver-
 sary of the stirring episode, in which
 two dozen picked Union soldiers took
 part. They were led by James J.
 Andrews, Union spy, and invaded the
 enemy's country and stole a railroad
 train, in an attempt to destroy the
 bridges and telegraph lines of the
 Western t& Atlantic railroad
 The party left the army of Gen.
 Mitchell at Shelbyville, Tenn, on April
 ', 1862, and made their way with
 great difficulty to Marietta, Ga Early on Saturday morning, April IT, lSbZ'
 Andrews and his men boarded the
 train they proposed to steal At Big Shanty station, where the tram stopped for breakfast, while the traln- men and passengers were in the dln- ing room, the raiders uncoupled three box cars which were in front Of the coaches and all climbed into the cars except Andrews and two of the party
 who were locomotive engineers. The tnTOIt1e or Ine IdIIiO4S oANi 4OCSiAA Nh V the General. was opened wide, and with a defiant shriek the engine sped down the track and was well on it's way before the $500 Confederate sol diers encamped near the track feaiIz- ed what had happened.
 Safely beyond the fear of imme edia te pursuit the train was stopped and a rail removed and the telegraph wire cut Reaching Kingston, three trains had to be passed. Andrews alleged that he was taking ammuni- ton to Gen. Beauregard, and his claim was accepted without suspicion, as it was known that the Confederate general was greatly in need of sup plies.
 The Confederates had not been idle, however, and had taken up the pursuit first on a hand car until Etowah was reached, where an en- zine was secured. While the raiders were attempting to set fire to the Oostananla bridge their pursuers came upon them. Rain was falling and the bridge refused to burn. Then began one of the most desperate races in the history of railroading. To the Chickamauga bridge the Union men managed to maintain a safe lead, but their attempt to set fire to the bridge was futile. Near RinggoId the sup ply of fuel gave out, and the train was deserted by the men, who sought to make their esca pc on foot. Within a few days all were prisoners of the Confederates. and Andrews and seven of his followers were executed as spies The others were imprisoned,
 and eight of them managed to escape, while the remainder were exchanged about year after their desperate ! feat. The remains of Andrews and his little command lie buried in the Chattanooga cemetery, where mon ument in their honor was erected by the state of Ohio about 30 years ago.

THE FAREWELL

Farewell thou art gone, and the word it is spoken,
 The sad word that tells forever we pare But ne CT can the fond tie which binds be broken;
 Oh, say does not this give joy to thy heart Though mountains may their high heads to sever, And rivers and oceans between us may roll, My fond heart will eagerly turn to thee ever,
 As mariners needle cen turns to its pole. Farewell we are parted, and parted in sorrow,
 And dark is the present, oh darling to me; It cheers not my heart with happy tomorrow
 No rainbow of hope, in the future 1 see. Yet often in memory's halls shall wander
 And tell Ger the moments made joyous by thee; With rapture my heart its lOve-day shall ponder
 And sleeping waking thy form shall see. Farewell, may the sunlight of hope ever gladden.,
 And cheer thy lone heart on it's wearlsome way Farewell though the gloom of the present may sadden
 We will meet in the light of the heavenly day.
