"No, I can't make out what th
throubl Is In Mexico onless It Is that
th' counthry la overrun with Mertcans.
It's a counthry that Iy nlrer wanted

build a houa Is to shovel It out lr th'

to be man-Id he takes th choice Ir his
heart out to pick out a Rood sthretch
Ir mud to make a house out lr. To

tV most remarkable facta that Hogan

Ir th' window lr th palace to a new

was shootln' at th feet lr a hod car

quickly an' remarked ca'mly: 1 can

their good aense wud assert ltsllf over

marked on th' exthraordhlnry mortality
among orators durin' th campaign an'
said ha aupposed it was Joo to th' ex

ly no emotion beyant a slight wink at
th' aicrety Ir th threasury who. had
come in to bear th' returns.
"'Mexico undher tlas la th' safest
counthry in th' wurruld fr men with

clvyllzed counthry. Wan lr th' cop

In return fr this sarrlc th' pollsman

take a crack at th' fugytlre criminal.
Thla method saraa th' exptnse Ir pa-

crowded with Americans with dellery-

" 'In conclusion to show that this
reemarkable man Is th' gr-reatest ruler
anny counthry has irer known we will
say that Gln'ral Dlas has accumylated
about three hundherd mlllyon dollars,
which is mora money thin all th' other
statesmen In th' wurruld fr'm Epamy
nondaa to Taft cud show.'
-No. sir," Mr. Dooley went on, "I
don't put anny bets down on a move
ment again thla gr-rand old man who
nlrer goes un-arraed. this .her com-
bynatlon tr Jawn Hampden an' th'
Apachy Kid. Annyhow whlnlver I see a
rlvolutlon started th' first thing I ask
is. what backln' haa it got? Who is
th' banker? Th' capital lr Mexico, ms
boy. Isn't Mexico City. It's Just south
lr Canal sthreet In th' city lr New York.
A rlvolutlon which Isn't a good Invest
ment Is on'y dlsordherly conduck. I
don't pay much attention to what
Frank I. Maduro is doln' now. But
som day If I read In th' pa-apers that
th' pathrtotle Mexican firm of Rosen
bloom. Elsensteln an Comp'ny were ao
shocked be th tyranny Iv Levi an' Kohn
over their beloved fatherland that they
hud.detarmlned to sthrlke a blow at th'
despots an restore freedom lv invest
ment, I'd ask th' pollsman to direct
me to a poolroom on th' beat where
they make a book on rivolutlons an'
I'd jro to th' cashier an' say: Glv me
fire Frank I. Maduro to win.' T can
get anny right-minded young fellow to
shed his blood In a rlvolutlon, th' same
as In a futball match. But till some
body will shed his money th' rlvolu
tlon don't ra-aly start."
T don't think much lr this rlvolu
tlon thin," said Mr. Hennessy.
. "It's all right," said Mr. Dooley. "But
it ain't so far a safe lnvlstmlnt. Wbln
Hogan waa In Mexico he said there
was two kinds Iv money.. There was
rale money an there waa Mex money.
A frind lv his wud say llnd me two

what I think lv this rlvolutlon. It's a

CONSTANTINOPLE. Dec. i 9pectal.)
Not a day passes without evrious com-
plaints arriving at the Greek Patriarchate
liere of the lnnuman treatment the Greek
element of Macedonia la receiving at the
hands of the Turkish officials. It almost
seems as If the latter are aiming at
the entire extermination of all the Greeks
In that unhappy Ottoman province.
Not only are these being exiled In a
most arbitral y manner, but they are every
day submitted to cruel treatment. They
are denounced. Imprisoned, flogged, tor
tured. In many district1 th prisons are
overfilled with Innocent Greeks, who are
allowed to starve and rot under conditions
almost lmpowtble to believe in.
Yet th Information received by th
Ecumenical Patriarch leaves not th
slightest doubt that the complaints are
JusUtied. Under the pretext that the
Greeks of Macedonia are all either
brtganda or reactionary revolutionaries.
the Ottoman officials aelxe them at every
turn and without giving them a chance of
a fair trial, flog thein or throw tbem
Into dungeon. Many are ewnt to th
Military Court of Monastir. where inde
scribable atrocities are perpetrated on
them.
In th diocese of Orevena a large num
ber of orthodox Christians are dying of
wound inflicted on them by a fanati
cal Moslem mob or by officials;' others
are tenured by placing hot eggs under
their armplta and their arm being bound
to their aides. Often, too they are forced
to kneel upon Iron bars or gun-barrels
and to remain In that position for hours,
until they fslnt from psln and exhaus
tion. Teacnera In Greek schools are being
flogged mercilessly and openly.
In a place named Tinta two Turkish
officers with S soldiers tortured In a
most Inhuman fashion several respect
able members of the Greek community.
Including an aged priest, and In the per
petration of thra atrocities th Turks
a re receiving the co-operation of th
Koumanlana) In Macedonia.
In the convent of Spelaion a brigand
waa caught and waa forced under tor
ture to accuse the old Greek ptipst
Athanasloa who bad supplied htm with
food and shelter. Atlie.naaioa was seised
and submitted, without any examination
of the rase, to moat barbaric ill-treatment.
He was dragged from his church
and beaten with slick until they broke.
When he fainted he waa revived by pour
ing cold water on him and then beaten
again and again. 'The aaaembled Greek
peasants and the poor family of th
prire cried for mercy, but In vain.
In th village of Arapl a whole Greek
community waa Imprisoned under th
mere suspicion that they gave shelter
to a brigand. In sum place Greek
priests are tortured until thry die or
until a confession is extorted from them
that they sympathise with the' anti
Ottoman pan-hellenkeUo movement. After
such a confession th whole Greek com
munity suffers unspeakable tortures.
Th Bishop of Orevena haa mad repre
sentations to the Turkish Governor, but
without any effect. He ws scoffed at
and threatened that he would himself be
submitted to severe 111 treatment If he did
not keep silent. The Greek Patriarch at
Constantinople is sending a memorandum
to th authorities at the caplul as well
aa to th representatives of th foreign
powens drawing their earnest attention to
th abov facta and begging that prompt,
energetic measures may be taken to put
a speedy end to such a deplorable stat
of affairs.

To this end the employment bureau and

MADRID. Dec 1 (Ppeclal.) Troubled
Spain, amid all its discords, still finds
abiding Interest In the human sldo of
the young monarch.
Tho latest story of Alfonso concerns
on of thosa incidents for which ha has
long been famous. One morning recent
ly, during th changing of the guard,
Alfonso came out of the Royal Palace
and crossed the square to the Armeria
Real. In which is housed the finest col
lection of weapons and armor In Europe
Want of space prevents anything like
Justi -e being done to the many treasures
stored there and the Kings desire is to
enlarge tho building and to make It an
annex of the Palace.
While chatting with th Lieutenant
Colonel tn command of the troops, a rery
pretty maiden approached Alfonso and
asked h!m, "Please may we in your
photograph a a mark for our Sherry?"
at the same time holding out some speci
men cards with the Royal likeness re
produced on them.
The girl's charming and timid bearing
made the affable young Monarch smile
and he asked If the wine were her own.
"Th win belongs to my uncle, a
vintner of Jerex." he replied indicating
her respectable looking relative close at
band, "and the wine la fit for a King."
