An Incident Showing the Military
Courage of the Montenegrin.
In military courage the Montenegrin
probably stands at the head of Euro
pean races. The best wish for baby
boy is, May you not die in your bed!'
and to face death is, to man or boy,
only joyous game. Says w. ]. Still
man in his Autobiography"
have seen man under heavy
Turkish fire deliberately leave the
trenches and climb the breastwork,
only to expose himself from sheer
bravado.
While lying at headquarters at Orea-
buk, awaiting the opening Of the cam
paign in 1877, was walking one day
with the prince, when boy Of 16 or Is
approached us, cap in hand.
Now" said the prince, "I'll show you
an interesting thing. This boy is the
last of good family. His father and .
brothers We're all killed in the last bat =
tie, and ordered him to go home andH
stay with his mother and sisters, that's
the family might not become extinct."a
The boy drew near and stopped be-
fore us, his head down, his cap in hand.
What do you want?' asked the
prince.
Il want to go back to my battalion"
But" said the prince, you are the
last of your line, and cannot allow q
good family to be lost. You must go
home and take care of your mother"
The boy began to cry bitterly.
''Will you go home quietly and stay
there" said the prince, "or will you
take fogging and be allowed to
fght?"
The boy thought for moment A
flogging, he knew well, is the deepest
disgrace that can befall Montenegrin.
well" he broke out, "since it isn't
for stealing, I'll be logged"
NO." said the prince, "you must go
home"
Then the boy broke down utterly.
But" he cried, II want to avenge
my father and brothers,
He went away still crying, and the
prince said: "In spite of all this he
will be in the next battle"

MODERN CULTURE MAGAZINE of
Cleveland, Ohio, begins its four

OF its publication under the present
title and present management. The
success which it's publishers have
achieved in taking over an educa-
tional journal which appealed to a
limited class and converting it into
literary magazine of the very
highest rank, retaining the good
will of their old patrons and at the
same time broadening the field and
extending the usefulness of what
Marion Harland calls "the best
dollar magazine in the country" has
been richly deserved. No American
magazine has more assured place
in the hearts of it's readers than has
MODERN CULTURE, and none has a
brighter future before it.
