When the Greeks won the great victory at Marathon, the mes senger that brought the news to Ath ens, falling dead as lie delivered- hit message, ran the distance, more than 29 miles, on foot. Today he could have turned on the gas, or put his mouth to the telephone, saying "The fight is just over; we beat them to a frazzle. Details later." Mr. E. L.
