portance. The prince, who is now 81
years of age, visited most of the Eu-
ropean courts year or so ago for tho
purpose of selecting a bride. At one
time it was reported that he was to
marry Princess Maud, daughter of the
prince of Wales, but that young lady
did not look with favor upon her I'M
dersized wooer. Princess Helene 10
described as young woman of remark
able physical beauty. with large dark
eyes, masses of blue-black hair, and a
dazzling, transparent complexion.
Like most Montenegrin women she is
"divinely TALL" and as her husband-to-
be is miserable small" they will make
funny-looking couple. But in royal
circles such little things count for moth
ing. In war between Italy and Rus
STA the cooperation of Montenegro
might prove of vast advantage. AL
though the country has a small popula-
ton (236,0Oo), its fighting strength is
not to be despised. Every man is sol-
der and expert marksman; and in
hand-to-hand conflicts the physically
perfect and powerful Montenegrlns
nav hCNSl DcIOTo
the conquest by Soleiman H., in 1926,
Montenegro was powerful principal
ity. Early in the eighteenth century
the people rebelled and established an
hereditary hierarchical government
which was countenanced, but not recog-
nized, by Turkey. By the Treaty of
Berlin, signed July 10, 1878, the
province was declared independent.
The present ruler is Prince Nicholas.
He has the reputation of being profit
gate, a gambler and heavy drnker,
but he is n valiant fighter and foe not
to be despised. His ambition is to add
Albania and other Turkish provinces
to his principally and establish king
dom on the coast of the Adriatic. The
marriage of his daughter to the Italian
heir is therefore of as much advantage
to him as it is to Italy. Each needs a
friendly neighbor and reliable ally, and
the proposed union of family interests
is immensely popular in both countries.

pie who meet him and his name, to
those few, is Paper" Smith.
Years ago, when he was young, "Pa-
per" Smith met with an accident and
was confined in a hospital for many
months. With no friends to visit him,
nothing to read, hardly anything to
look forward to but the doctors next
visit, ne found it dull place.
Some of his companions were worse
off than he. They spent the weary
hours in brooding over their miseries.
Smith knew what pain was; but it did
no good to think about that. He WAS
man who took an interest in other
people, and at the worst of times there
was always something to be interested
about.
Thinking of the unhappy ones, as he
often did, Smith saw a way to tighten
their burdens. The trouble was that,
even after ne was cured, he could not
put it in practice. He had to earn his
living. When the days work was done
he had neither time nor strength to
carry out his plan.
So the toilsome years went on until,
at the age of so, Smith inherited small
annuity. 1t was barely enough to keep
body and soul together; but the chance
to act upon his cherished thought was
the only personal luxury he craved.
Then, in the true sense, he began to
live.
1t is IS years since the post Office peo-
pie first heard of Paper Smith and
began to save their papers for the eager
old man with the basket. For Is years
no infirmity eff age and no desire for
rest and ease has caused him to neglect
his mission. ...
He does not know how many of the
suffering and sad have been cheered
and comforted by the contents of his
basket. Very likely he has never wished
to estimate. His duty-and it is his
pleasure also-is to fill the basket.
There is no waste in Gods universe.
Neither the thoughtful effort of great
organization nor the impulsive kind
ness of little child is ever thrown
away. When we commend, and right
ly, the deeds of association, perhaps we
fail to do complete justice to the posi-
bilities and power of the individual
And yet the one thing that helps to
better the world is the steady purpose
that waits for the opportunity, and
then the patient, loving, faithful service
that makes the most of it.-Youth's
Companion. .....

"pouched jumper" and it is member
of the kangaroo family. 1t moves about
much as the kangaroo does, but it can
outjump it any day.
1t lives on squirrels, birds and small
animals, and is SO quick in it's move
ments and can jump so well that it has
little trouble in getting all it wants
to eat. When it is in hot pursuit of it's
prey it has been known to jump 70 feet
on level, and it is not at all unusual for
it to make jumps of so feet Chicago

In Russia Beds Are Scarce.

Beds are quite an innovation in Rus
STA, and many well-to-do houses are still
unprovided with them. Peasants sleep
on the top of their ovens; middle-class
people and servants roll themselves up
in the sheepskins and lie down near the
stoves; soldiers rest upon wooden cots
without bedding and it is only within
the last few years that students in
schools have been allowed beds.

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
SMALL AND GREAT.

From tiny acorn
A forest giant grows;
From a little streamlet
A mighty river flows.
Many fleeing seconds
Go to make the day;
Days glide into years, and
Ages pass away.
Many tiny blossoms,
Sprinkled DER the lea,
Make 1t one vast garden
Beautiful to see.
Many little songsters,
Warbling mid the trees,
Send choral concert
Floating on the breeze.
Many grains of knowledge,
Added day by Gay.
Lay a store of wisdom
In your minds away.
Every time you conquer
Passion in the strife,
You are one step nearer
To a noble life.
Who will stand the highest
On the Judgment day?
He whose valor conquered
In the bloody fray,
Round whose brow is circled
Garlands fair of fame?
Nay! But he of whom the world
Knows not cen the name,
Who, when passions battled,
Conquered in that fight
, He 1t is whose name will show
The highest and most bright.

THE PRINCE OF NAPLES.

Sir Philip Currie, to notify the sultan
that repetition of outrages against his
Christian subjects would constitute suf-
ficient cause for England to act single
handed in their defense. The only
action taken by the ambassadors of the
other signatory powers is the strength
eninG of the defense of their respective
embassies so as to be ready for general
Turkish outbreak, which may occur at
any moment.

Despite its terribly tragic features,
the situation at Constantinople is not
without it's amusing side. After the
Mussulman fanatics had murdered
5000 Christians in cold blood and

entrance, the representatives of the
six Berlin treaty powers-Great Brit
