Let us now have a few words to say about the men who did the hard, rough work in Greece. They were of three classes: slaves, foreigners, and poorer freemen Records do not show .jast bow many slaves there were in Greece, but it seems there were as many slaves as all other classes put to- gether, Most slaves were set to work on farms, but there were some in cities, One old list of city workers shows 47 "freemen," 40 men from foreign countries, and 15 slaves. When slaves were hired to work on public buildings, they seem to have received the same wages as other workers--from three to six "obols" a day. That would be only from 9 to 18 cents in our money, but of course money bought more at that _ | time than it does now. | In Athens. €ach trade or craft had its special street.

Egyptian husband, yesterday resumed the witness stand to tell vhe second chapter of her life in the desert. Continuing her story of what happenf to the wives of African shelks from the point where the popular novels leave the young and beautiful western girl clasped in the arms of her semi-savage lover, the rrincess led up to the death cf Prince Ali Kamel Fahmy Bey, whom ghe killed in a hotel here after a wild wocing and honeymoon in Cairo. The prosecution started its cross- sxamination at 11 a.m., questioning the pretty French girl on her life with the shelk in Paris before their marriage. The princess sald she found the sheik a gay and powerful lover on the Paris boulevards. But after marriage in Cairo, she sald, all was changad and she soon saw she must seek a divorce. The prosecutor then handed the princess the weapon with whick she shot and killed her desert lover. It was a blue-finished automatic pistol, which the girl took with re- pugnant loathing. "This is the pistol with which you shot Prince Fahmy, the prosecutor said coldly, as the witness burst into tears. "I know nothing about automatic '[ pistols," the girl sobbed hysterically. "I didn't want to kill Fahmy, I only pointed - the pistol at him to frighten him when he said he was going to kill me. I never even no- ticed when I pressed the trigger. 1 didn't even know the shot had been fired untfl I saw Fahmy lying on the floor." The witness seemed on the verge of nervous collapse as the prosecutor hurled question after question piti- lessly at her in an effort to show al- leged acquaintance with other men before the sheik crowded all oihers from her life. Cross-examination of the princess was concluded with introduction of a letter she sent to her attorney Aug. 21st, "to be opened th event of my Geath." The letter explained . the guarrels between the sheik and his wife and declared that if tho princess died from violence, Fahmy sho formally be accused of her murd The marrtage took place In To- ronto, on Monday, of Miss Nell Rig- by, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs, John Rigby, Ottawa, to C.

FIND STEADY WORK FOR BRITISH HARVESTERS fmmigration Department 'Seeks Jobs For Thousands From Overseas. Efforts are being made by the de- partment of immigration and coloni- zation end the Employment Service of Canada, which functions under the department of labor, to find per- manent jobs for, the thousands of young men who came from the Brit- ish Isles last month to help garner the harvest in Western Canada. Most of them, who are now work - ing on the farms are going to be out of work when the cutting and threshing of the crops is finished, and it is known that practically all of them want to stay in Canada if they can find work. Among the 12,- 000 who came to Canada, as the re- sult of an appeal for harvest help are both 'skilled and unskflled workers Altogether officialsvof the immigra- tion department say they are of a fine type of Britisher and it would ¥e a loss to Canada if they could not be kept in this country. Speaking on the situation one im- migration official said that last year there was a general agitation for an aggressive effort to be made to bring Dritish settlers jo Canada. There are now thousands of the best brain and brawn of the Old Country here who will stay if they can find work. The machinery of the department of immigration and the Employment Service of Carada is going to be placed at the disposal of employers throughout the Dominion to try and prevent the return of these" young Britishers. i A WAVE OF PROTECTION. Bradford Chamber of Commerce Passes Resolution. London, Sept. 14.--For the first time in its history the Bradford Chamber of Commerce yesterday passed a resolution in favor of pro- tection. The resolution urged that the forthcoming Impertal and Economic Conference should be asked to con- sider the advisability of putting on raw materials, of which they have a manopoly, an export tax on those go- ing to all countries outside the Em- pire. Another resolution adopted was that the Board of Trade should be esked to institute an inquiry, pro- vided for under the Safeguarding of dustries Act, into the causes of er that the act might, if ali¥isable, be applied to Wes. trade. BE. H. Gates, who moved the fi: resolution, declared that, however | clever and enterprising the West Riding manufacturers might be, they could not meet competition with depreciated exchange. Akroyd Senior, vice-president of the chamber, said he had been a free trader for many years, but if one See Special Full Page Announcement ON PAGE NINE OF THIS EDITION FOR DETAILS! ~~ STEACY'S Annual Fall Fare Refund and Mail Order Comparison SA The greatest sale of its kind in Eastern Ontario, starts -- a ¥ Saturday, Sept. 15th and continues throughout Fair Week WE REFUND FARES TO ALL OUT-OF-TOWN CUSTOMERS NO MATTER WHAT DISTANCE YOU COME FROM OR WHAT YOUR CONVEYANCE!
