An Old Story Retold.
All Greece was in danger. A
mighty army, led by the great king
of Persia, had come from the east.
It was marching along the seashore,
and in a few days would be in Greece.
That great king, Xerxes, sent mes
sengers into every city and state,
bidding them give water and earth
in token that the land and the sea
were his. But they said, "No ; we
will be free."
And so there was a great stir
throughout all the land. The men
armed themselves, and made haste
to go out and drive back their foe;
and the women stayed at home, weep
ingwaiting, and trembling with
fear.
There was only one way by which
the Persian army could get into
Greece on that side, and that was by
a narrow pass between the mountains
and the sea. This pass was guarded
by Leonidas, the king of the Spar
tan's with three hundred Spartan
soldiers.
Soon the Persian soldiers were
seen coming. There were so many
of them that no man could count
them. How could a handful of men
hope to stand against so great a
host?
And yet Leonidas and his Spar
tans held their ground. They had
made up their minds to die at their
post. Some one brought them word
that there were so many Persians
that their arrows darkened the sun.
"So much the better," said the
Spartans ; "we shall fight in the
shade."
Bravely they stood in the narrow
pass. Bravely they faced their foes.
To Spartans there was no such thing
as fear. The Persians came forward,
only to meet death at the points of
their spears.
But one by one the Spartans fell.
At last their spears were broken; yet
still they stood side by side, fighting
to the last. Some fought with
swords, some with daggers, and some
only with their fists and teeth.
All day long the army of the Per
sians was kept at bay. But when the
sun went down, there was not one
Spartan left alive. Where they had
stood there was only a heap of the
slain, all bristled over with spears
and arrows.
Twenty thousand Persian soldiers
had fallen before that handful of
men. Greece was saved, for the Per
sians soon retired.
Thousands of years have passed
since then; but men still like to tell
the story of Leonidas and the brave
three hundred who died for their
country's sake. Leaves of Light.
An archaeologist has unearthed an
American statue which he estimates
is 6,400 years old, or 1,000 years old
er than civilization and art were sci

ture of Eve. Puck.
A CREEPING DEATH.
Blood poison creeps up towards
the heart, causing death. J. E.
Stearns, Belle Plaine, Minn., writes
that a friend dreadly injured his
hand, which swelled up iike blood
poisoning. Bucklen's Arnica Salve
drew out the poison, healed the
wound, and saved his life. Best in
the world for burns and sores. Twenty-five
cents at all druggists.
