| so long as it does not conflict with his
democratic convictions.
He rises every morning at five O'Clock
! and takes drive around the neighbor
hood Of Belgrade, accompanied only by
one aide-de-camp At seven he return:
and is shaved; at eight he begins hi
daily work. First of all he receives hi
| private secretary, who has to submit
to the king his letters and other mai
matter Next the police project of Bel
grade makes his report to his majesty
That official has to inform the king O
all occurrences of Importance or inter
est within the limits of the city of Bel
grade.
Next the first aide-de-camp. who a.
present also acts as court marshal, anC
finally the chief Of the royal household
are received. The latter has to submit
daily account of all the money expend-
ed on account of the civil list The king
checks every item most infinitely. AT
his suggestion bookkeeping by double
entry has been introduced In the royal
household
At ten O'Clock the king Is generally
visited by his lifelong friend, Col. Mar
quis de Rose, with whom he dis
cusses private affairs The marquis,
who is at present the kings guest, was
his schoolmate and his comrade in war.
Since the colonel retired from the
French service, six years ago, he has
been almost constantly with Peter Kara
georgevitch.
After this visit the king receives his
ministers and other persons who have
requested an audience, or he reads the
newspapers-nearly all of those pub
lished in the Servian language and some
German and French journals.
At 1890 lunch is served for the kinF
meal in which Marquis de Rose and
two of the officers Of the household par
ticipate. The meal is most simple
affair, and consists mainly of Servian
and French dishes. The king drinks
nothing but mineral water. on account
of an old internal maIady. which, how
ever, is now gradually disappearing. AT
one o'clock the king retires to his pri-
vate rooms where he remains until
three. when he again receives his prl-
waite secretary and disposes OF his cor
respondence.
Before dinner his majesty sometimes
takes another drive around the city. Din.
ner is served at seven. and seldom oc-
cupies more than one hour. After that
the king Is usually occupied with litera-
ture. He reads mostly books on mill
tary or financial subjects. In indus
trial matters, too. he shows lively In
terest. and does his best to induce for
eign capitalists to invest money In Ser
via. He has no particular leaning
toward any sport except shooting, in
which he Is quite an expert.
Peter |. is generally regarded as a
good-natured and energetic man OF
strong ruling capacity and admirable
tenacity. It will readily be seen that
he combines all the essential qualities
of good monarch; but his people are
not what he could wish them to be, and |
they will yet provide him with many a
difficult problem to solve.

IG FOR
CITIZENSHIP.

by LEE r.. SILER.

The true work of the public schools
is 10 train for good citizenship and
when education at the public expense
fails to promote the welfare and ele-
waite the citizenship of the State or
county. it so far fails to justify itself
as education. The real work. then, Of
our public schools. is TO tram its pu-
nils that they will have habits of in
dustrv as we'll as training for good
citizenship.
Our system of free schools is sys-
tenn of partnership, im which the pu-
pills, the teacher, the parent, and the
state share equally the responsibility,
The training received by child in
the home and at the school is its cap
ital upon which IL will enter life,
and business relations.
The interest of the state and par
emit should be the same. namely, that
the child gets the very best the
schools can give. 1t is not sufficient
that the child should attend school.
Every parent should see that his
child is not only attending regularly,
but that it is doing the necessary work
| for an understanding of the lessons
assigned for each day. The very fact,
that some of the children are allowed
to attend school, day after day. with
little or no preparation at home,
causes drag in the recitation work
not only detrimental to the best in

Never can our schools reach that
degree Of proficiency. that they may
be OF the greatest eood.to the greatest

their hearty cooperation and support?

AN AMlCABlE AGREEMENT.
Baltimore g. Ohio Officials and Train
men Adjust Difficulties.

The conference between the en-
ploves of the Baltimore Il Ohio Rail-
road Co. and the officials has ended in
an amicable settlement There were
a number of points of disagreement,
but these were narrowed down by
mutual concessions, and the men, in
response to the spirit with which the
company met these questions, with
drew the claim for the expenses of the
conference, which they estimated at
$35. 200
This action wiped out the line of
division between both sides and con-
cluded the conference. The final meet
ing was held in the Office of General
Manager Sims, and the company was
represented by Vice President Potter,
TO whom the men appealed when the
conference with the other representa-
tives of the Baltimore e. Ohio last
week ended in a disagreement.
Tia conference started in the latter
part of August, when the men SUBJ
mitted to the company list of 1872
grievances. Before the first disagree
ment was reached over 80 per cent. of
the grievances were adjusted. All the
differences have now been adjusted OH
basis satisfactory to all parties.

SERVICES FOR CHILDREN.
An Interesting Program RENDERED nj
Chrfst's reformed Church Sunday,

The CIildren's dav services in
Christ Reformed church Sunday
proved gratifying success. and were
source of much pleasuro.to those who
attended. The threatening aspect of
the weather was the cause of the
absence of some of the little folks, vet
both departments of the SUNDAY School
were we'll represented.
The young people entered into the
service with Youthful efforts and
pleasue. and fully sustained the repu-
tation gained in the past for the
splendid manner III which they render
the special services The solo by Miss
Clara Brown, and the duet by Misses
Florance Roberts and Clara Brown
were pleasing features of the program,
which was an interesting one through
out The two selections by the infant
department were exceptionally well
rendered, sprightly and full of the
vim and enthusiasm of their young
life.
The address by the pastor, DR..
Hoffheins, was most happy and ap-
propriate one, and was listened to by
his audience with marked attention
He spoke of the Importance of the
work in training the Youthful minds,
: which is in effect the foundation OF
the whole after life of the children.
The Offering of the school, which
was for benevolent purposes, amount
ed to 500.

Ing is NOT duplicated anywhere.
While the harvest festival Is not
peculiar to The United States the
American p eople by the manner OF
their observance have made the
day of national thanksgiving dis
tinctively their own In other
countries the custom Is local and
sporadic Here, alone, 1t is nation
al a, d universal. Antedating the
birth of a nation by more than a
hundred years Thanksgiving brings
- mind the elementary but essen
ial virtues of the Pilgrims To
them the cause for the giving OF
thanks was very real There
was a sense of isolation, of depen-
deuce upon Providence, not so
keenly realized In the crowded and
prosperous communities of today
Yet the present generation has
much more to be thankful for. The
nation Is today enjoying a season OF
plenty, so bountitul as to be the
envy of the world Abundant crops,
unexampled trade, steady employ
mept, at peace with themselves
Americans review the year with
satisfaction and face the future with
confidence.

boundaries who Is not thankful for
something On tomorrow, must Ger
.ainly be the individual with the
original bad luck.
All of us have reasons for giving
thanks. If these reasons do not at
once present themselves 1t Is simply
because we absolutely look In the
wrong direction. Indeed, happi
ness or misery Is largely In our own
coutrol and IS dependent upon our
attitude toward the world. II the
world looks yellow to us, 1t Is very
good indication that we are jaun-
diced.
From all reports it would sppear
that there will be no want of good
cheer to grace the tables on Thanks
giving day In this city. The de
mand may force the price OF turk
eys skyward, but on such an occa-
sion the hou ewife does not balk at
trifes, much as she loves a bargain
sale occasionally. But 1t Is not IN
the matter of turkey, merely, tina,
1t Is TO be greater amount of trim
mIngs of all sorts, Vegetables and
