In Order 10 Preserve Their Homes Romance
Of Kristina Peikora, Woman Soldier
Of Rencwn.

These women. unlike others who
have enlisted In the ranks OF armies.
do not attempt to conceal the fact that
they are women. Some of them wear
their hair hanging free to display the
fact that they are amaxons.
For civilized or supposedly civil
lized country. the woman soldier is an
almost unknown quantity, and for tina,
reason the fair soldiers of Bulgaria
who are risking the perils of an I'M
recognized warfare against the Turk
are attracting attention.
Kristina Petkova is one OF these sol
sdiers The uniform she wears is dis
tinctly serviceable one--strapped leg
gins, coarse wooden trousers, and loose
fitting blouse, with cartridge belt
around the waist and around the shout
ders, musket strapped to the back and
saber at the side.
There is a romance connected with
her service in the Bulgarian ranks OF
the Macedonian army. Her fiance Is
young officer in the same army. Dur
ing one of the mountain climbing raids
which are undertaken to drive the Ma
cedonian peasants into revolt against
the Turks he led a detachment against
village where the Turkish forces
were found In unexpected numbers. A
quick retreat was all that saved the
Bulgarian soldiers, but In this flight
the young officer was captured. being

they had no serious distrust and hos

able fighter, and is unable 10 90 into any
floor fight in a half hearted way. He
found himself clashing frequently with
Mr.. Cannon on matters of public mo-
ment. He exchanged words with the
Illinois member of the bitterest sort In
the discussion of certain appropriations
in which Iowa was interested and which
Mr. Cannon opposed. The real clash be-
tween the two men came when Mr. Can

within the bounds of parliamentary pro-
cedure the two men met outside the
house Mn. Hepburn showed clearly
that he had made the floor fight per-
sonal matter He was unforgiving
toward Mr. Cannon for his show Of eff
fective strength, through which the
favorite canal measure of Mr.. Hepburn
was defeated. From that time, while
each avoided carefully and disparaging
reference to the other. IL was well known
that they did not speak and were not
friendly.
Members of the house generally COM

first day. establishing the renewed
friendly relations of the two as most
favorable for the success Of Mr. Can

construed IL as indicating the broad
gauge OF the Illinois man. who at the
moment of his triumph chose for his

The prediction that Mr.. Hepburn. of
Iowa, would be the floor leader OF the
republicans second in importance to MT
Payne, or New York. who secured his
position by right OF his seniority was
fulfilled, the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat says that those who saw some OF the
stormy scenes Of the last two sessions
of the congress and noted the bitter war
fare waged between Messrs. Hepburn
and Cannon were astonished at the
scene on the opening day OF the session.
when the deep-voiced Iowan rose In MS
place to nominate Mr.. Cannon for
speaker. All OF the bitterness and
rancor and keen rivalry between the
two men had apparently been wiped
out.

So effectually was 1t done and so sincere

Hemenway. OF Indiana. Mr.. Hemenway
will occupy commanding position as
head of the committee on approprta-
lions. He is not. however, gifted with
that peculiar ability as a parliamenfar-
ian that Mr.. Hepburn possesses. Neither
is he possessed of so sharp tongue as
the experienced Iowan commands. As
the representative of the speaker and
the champion of his policy and wishes
on the floor OF the house, IL is expected
that Mr.. Hepburn will be entirely able
to cope with any antagonist which the
minority cen bring forward. For ayear
previous to the last summer Just closed,
Mr.. Cannon and Mr.. Hepburn did not
speak, even though they brushed past
each other in the house aisles and cap

man of just the qualities possessed by
Mr.. Hepburn as his floor representative.

that he was ready to smoke the pipe OF
peace. When the two men met In Chica-

mantle History
ture to Kristina In her despair, know
ing that there was little chance OF any
thing but death for him, she gathered
about her number of insurgents for
an attempt at rescue.
They retraced their way down the
mountain to the village and we're plan
ming a night attack when the young
officer suddenly appeared among them.
He had succeeding in eluding the guard
placed over him and had made his es-
cape.
The young girl, however, had cast
her lot with the Bulgarian cause, and
to be with her lover during the cam
paigns she decided to enlist as SOL
der. He protested at first, but finally
relented, being willing to allow her to
brave the dangers since she showed
the spirit necessary for 1t.

The character of the warfare being
carried on in the Balkans is of kind
which would attract women to the SER
vice. At least. it is repetition OF the
kind which has attracted them in

Religion and race prejudices are

struggle for homes and churches. and
such struggle always has claimed the
most active interest on the part of
women.
When foreign policies cause a war
it is seldom that women get closely in
touch with It, but as soon as homes
are threatened they will be found
identified with the men. Frontier life
in America demanded that the women
be as ready with rife as the men.

presents similar problem to the Bull
