liy n strange coincidence the largest
AID smallest republics in the world
We're passing through the same throes
ut excitement. just before the late cleo
ton. While the United StatcSwa elec
ting president so also was Tayolara.
For every soul in Tavoiara there are
Il million and - half in the United States,
out nevertheless the enthusiasm has
risen to quite as high a fever pitch in
he tiniest republic as in the biggest,
and the fight promises to be equally
exciting.
Only 50 persons are concerned, in
Guiding women, who will have n voice
and vote in the matter. for woman's
outrage is ono of the foundation stones
Of the government Of this little state.
Tavolara lies on the northeast coast
Of Sardinia, an island dozen miles or
80 from the mainland.
This corner of the Mediterranean is
at all times deserted. S1rdinia's days
OF glory and active commerce are long
since past. and whatever trade comes

ghero, on the other side of the island.
They are n republic of fishermen and
farmers, fishing being the main in
uustry, and l;ttle of the land being cul
t:yated. Not much of it is fit for cult
,dtion, in fact, as il is, for the most
part, high, rocky tableland, rising
Stecply from the sea, the wild goats for
which the island was famous century
ego continuing to browse and disport
themselves as freely as ever and with
out restraint.
Romantic in the extreme is the his
cory of this republic. Sixty years ago
it was part of the kingdom of Sardinia,
then an independent nation under the
rIle of Charles Albert. That monarch
gave the island outright TO the Barto-
lconi family in the thir,ics, ard that
Sardinian house set mp at once ninia-
'Gre kingdom, with 80 or 40 subjects.
and Sardinia never disturbed this pocket
edition of nation.
Years went by. Sardinia was merged
INTO the kingdom of Italy, but little
aavolara, under her Bartoleoni kings,
remained as free as air.
In 1882. King Paul l. was on the little
throne, and, much to the horror of his
people, he was found dead one day late
in that year in his armchair. On
table before bin, spread out, the ink
Of tn, signature hardly yet dry, and the
pcnholder he had used still in the clutch
Of his fingers, lay his last will and
testament.
This will took no heed of legacies or
requests, but simply stated that he, the

family, gave the island to the people to
