K Wasn't Made Simply Because the Law Wouldn't Allow It. A traveling salesman for a Gansevoort street wholesale grocery firm, recently back from a trip through rough lands of a neighboring state, tells this possibly true tale: "One day on my last trip I had a six mile ride to make to the county seat, and the small village in which I was had onto- one horse that I could hire and no other form of conveyance. I may say that a friend had landed me i in the town that morning from his car, | and I had sold goods enough to pay the expenses of the trip. "Well. I got away on the sorriest specimen of a horse I ever straddled, and I was to sen.l him back by the mail carrier, though not as a parcel post package. It took me two hours to cover the distance?1 was sorry enough I hadn't walked?and as I passed the i county jai! on my old bag of bones a face grinned at me from between the bars of a small square window. I ^as too sore to smile, but I nodded to tlie grin, and the prisoner called to me: " 'Say, mister,' he said, 'how'd you like to trade that critter for thirty days in jail ?' "Just then I would have been glad enough to have traded, but the law wouldn't let me, and 1 rode on."?New | York Sun. * 'OLD FOLKS DAV | FITTINGLY OBSERVED HON. A.

Greece, Bulgaria and Roumania Ready to Follow Her Lead. TvmiHatv Miiv 1 ~ TX/ifVi Hio niifV>T-dQlr of a revolution in Portugal, whicfti, according to dispatches from Madrid, is supported by the navy, Spain, Switzerland, Holland and the 'Scandinavian countries are tToe only States in Europe which are not either engaged in war or have domestic troubles to ooy cupy tJheir attention. Little news has come through from Lisbon, but it is reported that Ibe navy has" bombarded the capital, held by the army, wfaich remains loyal to the president, Manuel de Arriaga. It is not known whetfcer the insurrection was started by the royalists, but members % of that party resident in London disclaim all knowledge of it. Later reports tonight say the revolution has been crushed, but tfoere is no confirmation of this. Greece, Bulgaria and Roumania, wl ere there are pro-war and anti-war parties, are waiting for the final decision delayed by the resignation of Premier Sal^ndra, who, however, is reported from Rome to be back in. office. The prediction is made tftiai; Salandra will form a new government witu tne support or me leaders or uae stronger parties in the chamber. Among the belligerents interest wavers between battles in Galicia, Flanders and Pas de Calais, and operations in the Dardanelles. In Galicia tJbe Austro-German rush seemed to leave exhausted itself when the river San was reached and all the towns on the west bank of that river v fell into German hands. Tfois compelled the Russians to .fall back in southern Poland, so tT:at their line now runs from Plock, on the lower Vistula, southeastward to Pryemysl, thence south and east through eastern Ga- J licia and Bukowina to the Roumanian border. At ti':e latter end of this line the Russians .still are pursuing their offensive and have driven the Austrians back in disorder some 20 miles, but they themselves are being forced out of the Carpathians and are in danger of losin? Prvemvsl. as the Austrians and Germans are to the nortft and south of that city. The 'British appear to have resisted successfully all German attacks on Ypres, while the Belgians have continued t!':eir attacks from the' sea to Dixmude, and the French have made further headway north of Arras. It would appear from today's long French official statement that the offensive in tf:is Dart of Pais de Calais was not intended as the commencement of the big general movement, but merely was an operation, completely successful, to rectify the French front, in which Carency formed a threatening salient. Tlie French had formidable opposition to overcome, but after a terrific artillery bombardment succeeded. Thev are carrying out an offensive in the Woevre and h|ive made further progress in some sections, wfcile in others tl':e Germans claim the advantage. A Book Party.
