French and italian with fuency; is a
clever artist and evidently cultured in
all branches of literature.
The peculiar physical condition of
the new ruler leads many European
statesmen to think that he will be I'M
able to maintain the long-threatened
dynasty of the house of Savoy in secur-
ity, and that he will be the last of this
celebrated family to rule the Italian
kingdom.
The house of Savoy is one of the old
est and most distinguished in Europe.
1t was founded by Humbert the
Whitehanded. to whom, in 1927, Ru-
dolph III. of Aries presented the coun-
ties of Savoy and Maurienne, and to
whom Emperor Conrad gave the Sale
Chablais and the lower Valais. This
old Humbert was the ancestor of all the
princes of Savoy He died in 1O48,
and was succeeded by Amadeus l., his
oldest son, and later by Otto, his
fourth son, who, through marriage,
came into possession of the rich coun-
ties of Turin and Aosta. This was
the beginning of the process by which
the enterprising Savoyards appropri-
ated to themselves, in the course of
nine centuries, the whole Italian pen
insula and the islands tributary to it.
Tradition has it that the princes of
Savoy have during all that time carried
out the advice of Charles Emmanuel
III, who is said to have advised them
to treat Italy as an artichoke, to be
eaten leaf by leaf" In 1888 Count Anna
deus founded law of promogenlture,
| which strengthened the family and led
to the acquisition of Nice. Early in the
fifteenth century the courts of Savoy
| assumed the title of duke. A few years
later they annexed the principality of
| Piedmont, and early in the eighteenth
century obtained the rich island of
Sicily. With the last acquisition went
royalty and the title of king. In 1920
Sicily was exchanged for Sardinia. At
the close of the Napoleonic wars in 1915
Genoa was added to the Sandman
crown. King Carlo Felice, the last of
the male line of Savoy, died in 1881, and
the crown went to Carlo Alberto, head
of one of the younger branches of the
family Carlo Felice did not like the
king business with its multifarious
worries and dangers, and on March %,
! 1S49, abdicated in favor of his son, the
late Victor Emmanuel II. The latter
|. was an aggressive ruler, and by the
peace of 1859 obtained Lombardy and
soon afterward Parma, Modena, the
Romagna, Tuscany, Naples and Sicily.
In 1866 he wrested Mantua and Venice
from the AGstrians. and in 1870 COM
pleted the political unifcation of Italy
by the absorption of the Papal states.

land. 1t echoed from the rock-bound
coast of Maine even unto the simmer
ing sands of the Pacific. It sent men
home with drawn and sober faces; it
made women hug their babies closer;
it drew mothers arms more tightly
| about the forms of grown-up sons; it
caused wives to clutch tighter the
trembling hands of husbands; and it
made little children sob and cry be-
cause of the sad faces about them.
But the little squad continued drill
ing upon the village green. Many a
lad was strong enough to shoulder a
gun-but, alas! they were only chill
dren yet.
There was a vacancy in the corner
of the school house where the shy,
sensitive boy used to sit, and shudder
when war was hurled at him from
every side. Where was he? What
had become of him?
He had never shouldered a wooden
gun to win hollow plaudits from the
crowd; he had never fired off his pop
gun war recitations upon Friday aft
ernoon to win the clapping of hands.
He was too shy and sensitive to do
that.
He simply went away and enlisted,
and in the gallant charge of his regi-
ment at the first battle in which it
engaged he was in the front line,
steady and brave with the fine courage
of the true soldier.
And the little mother mourned be-
cause he dlu not come back again,
because her hope and joy, her only
boy, had been cruelty taken away
from her by the grim monster, war.
Yet with her sorrow was the mothers
pride because her darling had not
proved a coward when the dress par
ade upon the village green had been
forgotten in the awful horrors of the
great conflict.

partisan factions. The people, al
though patriotic and ready to make
substantial sacrifices for the glory of
their country, were not prepared for
the heavy burden of taxation laid
upon them for the support of a gigan-
tic army and the construction and
maintenance of a mighty navy. The
ambition, nursed by the king and pro-
claimed by his advisers, to have Italy
take a place among the great powers
weakened the government at home
and repeatedly led to riots in various
parts of the kingdom. The common
people did not care to contribute
everything they could earn to the
military oligarchy at Rome; and So
cialistic and anarchistic agitators, TAX
ing advantage of the almost universal
spirit of discomfort, had no trouble in
,enlisting thousands of enthusiastic
followers in the cities of northern
Italy and the manufacturing districts
of Naples and Sicily.
When Humbert assembled the throne
it was hoped that he would institute
far-reaching army reforms, that he
would endeavor to revive the decay
ing commercial interests and lay the
foundation of genuine national pros
perity. These hopes were never real
lied. Instead of breaking away from
the Dreibund, that famous but fnan-
.cially ruinous offensive and defensive
alliance between Germany, Austria
Hungary and Italy, he became it's
most ardent supporter. From year to
year the national debt increased, cor
ruption permeated the highest official
circles, and on top of all came the dis
astrous defeat of the Italian troops in
Africa by the irregulars of King
Menelik of Abyssinia. Outwardly the
Italian government maintained, to use
a collOquial phrase, ''a stiff upper lips
but even the most ardent admirers of
royalty admitted several years ago
that the days of the house of Savoy
were numbered.
The villain who assassinated King
Humbert represented nothing more
than a band of international outlaws,
vet his deed would have seemed more
horrible to the people of Italy had
they not been prepared for such a
catastrophe by decades of financial OPP
preston and injustice. Instead of di-
viding the burdens of taxation equally
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1900-08-23

the members of his cabinet. For these
reasons his assassination has been de-
p1ored by the Italians as individuals,
although in their political capacity the
radicals consider his removal a warn
ing to his successor who, they hope,
will institute reforms calculated to
restore prosperity, peace and happiness
to Italy.
The new king of Italy, who will be
known as Victor Emmanuel III, is an
unknown political quantity. Physical
ly he is a weakling, but mentally he is
giant. He speaks all the modern Ian
guages fuently, is a scientific scholar
and well trained in the art of war. AL
though but five feet in height, he can
handle a sword to perfection, and even
as a horseman makes fair showing.
But his health is in deplorable con-
,dition. From his birth, which occurred
November II, 1869, he was small and
sickly, and despite the devoted care
of nurses and physicians grew up
puny and ailing boy. In character;
however, the young man is positive,
Like his grandfather, Victor Emman-
uel, he possesses rare decision of mind
which was first emphasized after the
4ld1IdA ISNSISGS LII A41ICd "hOA AC
openly opposed the policy of Prime
Minister Crispi and accused that states
man of being the principal cause of the
Abyssinian disaster. Later he urged
his father to recall the italian troops
from Africa and reform affairs at home.
To this appeal, chroniclers say, King
Humbert replied: ''Victor Emmanuel
III. may do SO, but Humbert I. never"
Prior to this episode the prince had not
been popular in Italy, but since then
the people have had faith in him and
his destiny. How far he may be able
to govern circumstances remains to be
seen, however. The powers of an Ital-
ian ruler are extremely limited and to
carry out any measure of reform he
must have a powerful and united party
at his command. That he VIII have
such support seems problematical.
Another event which endeared the
prince to his people was his marriage,
on October "A, 1896, to Princess Helene
of Montenegro, a woman of striking
appearance and great strength of char
acter. She is nearly six feet tall and
stands head and shoulders over her
husband. 1t was the hope of the late
king that her health would compen-
safe for his sons weakness, and that
children would be born to the couple,
thereby keeping up the direct line of
succession. This hope has thus far not
been realized. All accounts describe
the regent queen as being beautiful in
form and figure. She has large, lus-
trous, dark eyes; masses of black hair
of the genuine ravens wing hue; daz-
zlingly transparent complexion, and an
extremely graceful carriage. She is
fine musician; speaks English, German.

THE cow IN SUMMER.
Unless She Is Given a WeII-BaIanced
Ration Her Milk Yield Is Bound
to Shrink.

Comparatively few farmers would
think of working a team of horses hard
during the summer months without
feeding a liberal allowance of grain
along with pasture. But when it comes
to feeding cows the reverse is true.
Just as small number feed their cows
a grain ration while running on pas
ture.
The horse is fed grain from which to
draw material to supply the system
with force and energy. Farmers have
learned from experience that grass
alone does not afford the proper
amount of muscle-makers to repair the
waste and give strength to a horse at
constant hard work, and they resort
to feeding grain.
The COW, as ma utter of course, does
not expend so much for muscular
strength in the elaboration of milk as
does the horse in a hard days work,
but the draft on her nervous system is
greater than that on the muscular sys-
tenn of the horse. Before one can rea-
sonably expect cow to do her best day
after day and year after year, she must
be literally furnished with food that
will supply the system with strength
and energy to stand the draft made by
the nervous forces on her system.
We hear great deal about balanced
rations for winter feeding and but very
little about balanced ration during
the summer months. A cow needs the
same material during the summer as
during the winter. She needs a bal
anced ration in May and June as much
as in December and January. During
the winter we see that her wants are
supplied. During the summer she is, as
a rule, left to shift for herself, and if
she does not respond literally when on
pasture-no matter what the nature of
the pasture, whether it is clover, blue
grass, timothy or wild grass-she is
condemned, when the fact is, she is do
ing the best she can under the circum-
stances.-M. E. King, in Ohio Farmer.

near where we were lying. I heard
the captain and a private having an
animated discussion, when the private
said:
capt. Medley, if we were at home
you would not dare to act as you do
here"
The captain wanted to know what
he would do about it. The private said
he would thrash him. The captain re-
torted that Joe Weston never saw the
day that he could thrash him, and then
he jerked off his coat and threw it on
some cracker boxes just behind him
and told Weston to come out and he
would teach him to whom he was talk
ing.
Weston stepped out and the battle
began. Weaver and [ raised to a sit
ting posture to see the fight. By a
weIl-directed blow Weston knocked the
captain squarely over the middle of our
bed. But Weaver and I being small
and nimble, jumped out like pair of
cats and escaped being crushed.
In reading the articles by the late
J. NJ. Branum, find a great many in
cidents similar to what saw myself,
especially on our trip through South
Carolina. But there is one phase of
the burning that he does not mention.
I refer to the escaped union prison
ers. There was quite a large body
of them with US at that time, and they
had no computations about destroying
confederate property. One ofmy neigh
Dor boys had been months in confeder-
ate torture pens and escaped. He had
brother in the One Hundred and Third.
and as his regiment was not in reach
he came to US. He said he felt like
burning the whole southern confeder-
acy. I met several others, and they
were all doing their level best to get
even with the rebel eonfederacy for the
TEXTURES they had undergone.

Personally, Humbert was a most
1ovable man. In his private capacity
he was ever ready to help the needy
and lift up the fallen. He loved his
people and honored himself by honor
ing their independence. When the pest
invaded his kingdom a few years ago
he visited the hospitals and comforted
the sick. During all of his reign he

the corners, A (see illustration), and
measure back on the line any con-

a piece of rope that will not stretch.

little arc passing through E, which
will be definitely located when the

D and the distance, 20 feet, marked
off. The line drawn from A to E will
be perpendicular to the base-line, and
all that will now be necessary will be
to extend this line by the usual meth

having frequently seen him with the
regiment. But comrade relates some
thing concerning the doings in Column
bia, S. c., that l did not see and never
heard of until I saw his article. I
refer to there being so many men killed
by the provost guard in the town the
night it was burned. I was tearing
around in the town in every direction
that fancy dictated a large part of the
night, but I saw no one killed by the
provost or by anybody else. I am not
disputing the comrades word. but I
think it strange that l neither saw nor
heard anything of the kind.
A comical performance came I'M
der my observation that I have not
seen mentioned by any of the boys.
As [ was rampaging over the town
heard great outcry and cheering
near some large trees, and heard some
one say: Here is Gen. Sherman"
rushed over to see what was going
on, and there, sure enough, was Sher-
man, surrounded! by a bowling mob of
soldiers.
Just as I arrived some one said:
Let US carry Gen. Sherman"
Instantly he was seized by as many
men as could get hold of him, and he
was hoisted off the ground; but he re-
monstrated, commanded and begged
the boys to let him down and told
them to not make fools of themselves,
and finally induced them to desist.
should not like to insinuate that any
of Sherman's Bummers would indulge
in strong drinks. otherwise I might
say that some of those boys acted like
they were slightly intoxicated.
The boys let Sherman go, and he was
about to proceed on his way when a
lady rushed out and asked if that was
Gen. Sherman. Upon being told that
he was, she commenced to beg of him
to stop the burning. I was close to
the general and heard him say:
my dear madam, do you think am
God Almighty, that I can stop this {?
I am as powerless to stop this fire as
you are"
