The Olanta never had a pitcher who hit the hoote lea a than Mm." Two days later thia kid from llroadway waa carrying a gun, cla<l In the Oreek uniform, and waa on hla way to the front. If he ever geta back, llroadway will hear aouie new atorlea. Hut. for that matter, there will be new atorlea for every corner of the t'nlted States, for thla band of *00 Oreeks came from all over North America They gnve a touch of Yankee Doodle ihat made you thlnjt of the Spanish* American war, aa they marched away.

I'd have made a little bet on him. I live In San Pran. and 1 guess everybody In that town Is going to vote for him. That Bryan's some fellow, ain't he?" It is difficult to doscrilie the sensation of having these bits of American life thrust Into this wild Balkan situation. Il almost makes you feel as If part of the I'nlted Slates were going to war. Even Ihe crack of guns will remind them of home, for they sound like the snap of a shoe-shining rag • And some of them will never know whether Wilson will make n good president or not. The# were put In the very front of the advance, far beyond where newspaper men were allowed to go. It all proves that the Greek candy man and the Greek shoe shlnera are real, regular fellows, after all. OREGON'S GOVERNOR AND WIFE OF GOVERNOR-ELECT LISTER OLD FRIENDS TACOMA. Nov. 16.
