An Incident Showing the Military
Courage of the MonteneRrin


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 bedw
and to face death is, to man or boy,
only joyous game. Says w. ]. Still

l have seen a man under a 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, l was walking one day
with the prince, when boy of 16 or 1S
approached us, cap in hand.
"Now," said the prince, "Pll show you
an interesting thing. This boy is the
last Of good family. His father and
brothers were all killed in the last bat
tie, and | ordered him to go home and
stay with his mother and sisters, that
the family might not become extinct"
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 l cannot allow a
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, cor will you
take a floggng and be allowed to
fght?'
The boy thought for a moment A
hogging, he knew well, is the deepest /
disgrace that can befall a Montenegrin. |

An English scientist In writing OF
lemons says dietetic science tells Us
that the juice contains acids In con.
siderable quantities, among which are
citric acid, malic acid and sugar, and
that the rind affords a volatile oil.
Citrlc acid, he says, is mainly valuable
as an antiscorbutic-that is. preventive

Kentucky Crop Report.

The month of April was cool and
most of the time wet and farm work
did not progress very satisfactorily,
especially in the preparation of
corn land and planting this cereal.
The early planting in Southern
Kentucky was mostly planted over.
Hence, this report shows a falling
off in condition from 9S.4 to SO.
Wheat shows a still further gain in
condition of little over 6 points,
bringing the percentage for this
crop 70 So, as against 1913 in March
report. OF course this condition is
based on the outlook on the let Of
May.
The ost crop does not promise so
well as in March, while rye is
slightly improved in condition.
Tobacco plant beds are fine in some
localities, but in others are not
growing az they should. Some fear
the crop will be set late and this
brings condition TO So. Clover
still holds its low average. Live

The Finance Committee of the Pro-

soliciting funds for the work of the
League, come squarely up to this ques.
ton: What are the objects of your
organization" This question is legi-

and satisfactorily before the Protective

the monied or other support from the
citizens Of our city.
I. What are the objects?
Article of our constitution makes
clear and definite answer. viz: ITO
secure the enactment and enforcement
of laws for the moral welfare of Homo
lulu for the protection Of children and
the promotion Of public decency, and
also to exert moral pressure on public
affairs when necessary" In short. to
become medium through which cases
of great personal abuse. or suffering. or
| injustice, or public indecency, or other
wrongs. may be taken up for careful
| consideration and help.
Our motto might well be Protection
and neutrality-suspicious. against
evil and promotion Of good. Indeed
the idea of protection Is so strong that
T. finds its place in our very name it.
