Many of the children stayed in tho grounds all day. They didn't need any iuuch, for they brought their lunch with them in the shape of the eggs with which thev had their sport. The main object, ol course, iu.trylng to break each others' eggs was one of victorious con quest, but the secondary object was not to bo lost eight of. For, in both the games of egg-rolling and egg-pecking, as in the great game of politics that not inficiueuily planes a president ol a dil- torcut party in the White nouso every four years, "to the victors belong the ions.

A Journal dis patch Irom Athens says: The situation here ia growing more serious every hour, as the people come to realise the true position into which want of statesmsuship and generalship has led the country. The feeling of uncon trollable indignation has rapidly de veloped since the departure of the force" lo the frontier. Athens and the Piraeus are filled with the burgeoise. unable to carry arms, and many members of the lower classes, and to a certain amount the rabble from the very Turkish em pire. These people naturally can do anv amount of mischief, and if armed and they find leaders, can go to all extremi ties. Yesterdav morning news spread that a demonatrati n had been planned against the king. The people thronged the streets and diecusfed the news. Voluu leers or would-be volunteers in the after noon entered two shops in the Rue Hermes, and took all the tirearmZiind ammunition on the pretext that the government refused them arms Thin would easily have degenerated luio wholesale plunder of shops if the gond sense of the inhabitants had not found a mouthpiece in Kalli, the leader of the opposition. Ho immediately, upon learning of the disorder, came to lhe spot and addressed the crowd. II 1 s speech had a telling effect. iou are mail, was itie tuirden of what he said. "Why. when Greece is surrounded by diuVultics and Iho pow ers trv to disgrace the nation, voti sa you want arms; let your conduct show you are worthy of becoming soldiers " Order was restored, and it may be said that Kaili wits the hero of the day and saved the loan from a riot. A crowd afterward went lo the palace. shouting and binning. Tho gmt'd had been doubled. The people collected be fore the palace aud popular orators ad dressed them. Tho uoisy demonstra tions ol the dav, which it waa thought U'kht mark the end of the dy nasty. eudod quite pcacettilly. Many cases of "lirippo'1 have lately lonti cured by One Mluuto Cough Cure.

Maietsrs' Drug Stove. A Duwl Between Llephants. Hearing founds that indicated serious trouble in a herd of wild elephants on the Upper Congo river, a native hunter named Knema and a sportsman named I lobar d fled preclpi'a'oly to a stcrdy tree nearby. What happened after that is told in outing : 'They had scarcely reached their perches when a second division of the herd came rubing down the oath which tne men had joat left, shrieking and trumpeting in auger and fear. The tie shook as the tornado of brutes swep' by. uo the leit the shrieking waa varied with Cracking and lashing aa of ropes eg-tinsi a mas'. Keem climhed higher in b' tree, and through a break in the foreiv discovered the cause of lhe trouble. In an open epsoe two ball elephants were lighting. One of them was a leader of the herd, the other an old warrior bull tramp who bad lost a task. " 'It is the rogue Ilamrs." whispered Keems; 'and he will kill the other beau'y no nse to trv to stop him.' "The banters watched for a chance lo are as the brutes drew back a little and sprang together with lowered head and big ears outspread, the skulls coming together with stunning force. On recov ering, they came together again, rising on their hind legs and striking down with their tusks as with a sword, shriek ing with rage, and using their tinnka like whip lashes, lhe men came from he tree and drew near to the Cgbt through the bushes. " 'Shoot the leader,' said Keema. 'It is no use to try for the other.' "Then it dawned on Kobard that the savage deemed the wanderer an evil spirit not to be tried for, since ft poseese- el magic power. The man came inn sight ol lhe leader of the herd behind f lunga. as the nstive called him, and the ireast drew back at tbe sgbt ol a dead lier enemy than tbe wandererinz bull The shrinking of the leader gave the tramp a chance, snd like a fencer he rave a sharp thrust with his tusk. The eadr staggered, hut a shot behind I!- u:ga a ear silled the other elephant. The leader leaned forward as if lo roi-h o attack Kobard, who had fuel, bu Keema was just behind the el-piiant. and with a keen, heavy knife hamstrong he beast with a single blow, disabling it A bul et above the t re finished tbe reature." A Place of Desolation. Wichita, Kan., April 29. A special to the beacon from Oatbrte says: lhe scene in the flooded district this morning is one ol desolation. The river went down rapidly last night and when he sue rose the awfnl extent of the damage to property could lm seen. Tbe lver is btill bank-full, but the water ba receded Irom most of the inundated dia- 1 riets. Tnia morning most of the missing people had ben found, clinging to hushes or driftwood down the stream on the west bluffs or scattered in tbe farm houses. It ia believed the death list will not exceed 25, most of ihem t eingseeu 'o drown in the main channel during the rim rush of water. The bodies were carried away. Tbe only bodies fonnd thin morning are thoee of Mrs. Fannin Katlin and five children, all lodged in a pile of driftwood. These, with Georg Owen a butcher, drowned while re-cuing others, Frank Myers, Mrs Dumas, VI rs. Jane Watt, Mrs. Francis Moore, M'8. D'ummond Mrs, Dennis and child and Mrs. Watson, are the only oner known to have been drowned, though 50 or more are still miesing Five hundred homes were swept awav, and their conteuta ruined. A hundred an 1 tiny houites were wrecked, and zQ devatated. One thousand people are homeless and aB many more are desti me. The property damage exceeds 100,000. Systematic relief work is being carried out and ferries are working across the river so supplies and clothing can be sent to all. Many are being brought to the unharmed part of the city to be cared for in private houses. It is now certain the lload waa caused hv a cloudburst 20 miles np the valley. Everything was swept before it. Had it comn two hours esrlier thousands would have perished. Peace. Rome, April 29. The Secolo of Milan today publishes a dispatch, saying that peace between Oreece and Turkey has been concluded. Did ever a wo man experience true happiness until sbe cent over- her rosy cheeked, sleep ing babe, tired of lav ana loreet- ul of tovs. Kev- er. True bapp'ness toracmiaiesswouian is nature's most eatpbatio impossibility. Tbe world teems with otherwise happy wedded couples that only need the link of a babe's divided caresses to unite them in mutual happiness through all eternity. Any woman may assure herself of happy wifehood, long life, love, and the great blessing of raoUaer. hood, who will take proper care of her wo manly-self, and resort to the right remedy for weakness and disease of the delicate orpins peculiar to her sex. The best of all-known remedies for the special weaknesses and diseases from which women suffer is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription. It acts directly and only on the organs tbut bear the burdens of mother hood. It makes them strong and healthy. Taken during tbe expectant period it ban ishes the usual dUcomfoits and makes baby's advent easy aud almost painless. It iusurea a robust newcomer and an atuple supply of natural nourishment.
