Government by the army is q
bloody success In Servia. By the
grace of the army judicial tribu-
mails have become unnecessary, the
voice of the populace is stilled, the
legislative body is the oracle OF the
military, for the regal son of Black
George lives and reigns, or pre-
tends TO reign, al the wilim of the
soidiery. The cabel in the army
is both King and people.
The Seryian system of politics
is unique. It combines features OF
ancient custom with the modern.
Though the term Of regency ends
with assassination, in accordance
with very old practices, the new
government is sustained by meth-
ods that are, In some respects,
quite novel. Thus the tendency
towards Democracy was checked
by . banquet, at which threats of
murder served the purpose rs
efectally as the aanguinary deed
could have done.
American politicians may study
servian tactics with profit. The
case of Z. Juobomir Schiokovics,
editor of the Belgrade odjek, is wor-
thy of considerations. He es-
poused the cause OF Democracy
and urged the institution of o
Republic. His attitude dlspleased
the Government, which is the ar
my, and he was invited TO o ban.
quet aG the Officers Club.
During the feast the host in-
informed schiokovicks that there
would be one head less in Belgrade
Ii the 0djek continued to publish
republican editorials. The hint
was effective, and, in consequence,
Schiokovics is now Minister of Jus.
tice of the Kara-G -Georgevich
monarchy.
In the United States public mon
make too much noiss over their
contests. They rely too much on
spell-binding and intrigue. There
is said to be conspiracy, for In
stance, among Senators Quay, For
aker and Piaft and President
Roosevelt 10 depose Mark Hanna
from the craftsmanship of the Ma
tional Republican Committee. Why
should the strife be prolonged? ? How
much easier it would bs to give a
and tell him about Schiokovics

"Oil or Russ.''

Tom Isacks did it with his owl

sometime in September. And j
the offspring should be a healshy

ing, and especially when he tries
as hero Tom did.
Within the next thirty days a
derrick will loom up in the vIcini-
ty of Opelousas. Within the next
few months our people will know
whether or not there is oil in the
bowels of Old st. Landry soil.
The arrangements were perfected
Wednesday night, the money is
up and the rig is coming. The
contract to bore in the vicinity OF
Opelousas was signed by a stock
company of Opelousas people and
Mr.. J. s. Saum, superintendent of
the Big Mound Oil Co. now opera
ting In the oil fields at Sour Lake,
Beaumont and Roanoke. The To-
cal people here have put mp 5000,
and Mr.. Saum agrees to put down
a we'll for that amount, he, or his
company, to defray all expenses.
They are to bore twelve hundred
feet, and IL at that depth there are
no indications of oil, another well
is to be Immediately put down on
the same conditions. A well costs
all the way from $1,000 to $4,000,
and the Saum people are to put up
all expenses above 5000. A 40
acre tract of land is to be bought
or leased, one-half to be the prop
erty of the Saum people, and the
other half that OF the local com.
pany.
Mr.. Thos. s. Isacks, 9hnstling
Tom," has been working at the
scheme for. some time, and we con-
gratulate him on his success.
While the local organization has
not yet been parfected, 1t is agreed
that the following will be the off,
GERS:
DIR. Jno. A. Haas, President; Dr.
B. A. Littell, First Weep President;
Leon Haas, Secretary; il. Perro-
din, Treasurer.
Many experts have pronounced
Indications for oil exceedingly
good in this section, and 1t is the
that a gusher is due in
the near future.

VICTIMS OF VEsUvlus.
POmDeii and Herculaneum Not the
Only Cities 1t Has Buried.

-
The road out of Naples toward Vesu-
vius Is the same route that one follows
to reach Pompeii. When intending to
go up the mountain the tourist leaves
the Pompeii road at Resina, the mod
ern city which overlies Herculaneum
Apropos Of these two ancient towns, it
is remarkable how many people speak
of them as the only buried cities in the
vicinity. In fact, there are many, and
1t may not be uninteresting to mention
them. Next to the two familiar ones,
the one whose name is most frequently
heard is Stable. Then there are Gu
mae, the oldest Greek colony in Italy;
Bai@, watering place, resort of the
Roman swells In the first year of our
Lord; Parthenope, Paleopolis and Ne
apolis, three buried cities lying under
modern Naples, from the last of which
1t took its name; Dikearchia Cater call
ed Puteoh, now PozzuolD, another
Greek city of large wealth and with
much commerce; Capua, one of the
great military posts of ancient Rome,
now covered by modern city, also
garrison, and Suessola, whose medici-
nal springs held high repute among the
gouty epicures of the Roman time.
Cataclysmic have been the earth's
throes around that laboring monster
Vesuytus, for some of these buried cit
les, which were great seaports 1000
years ago, are now far inland. On the
other hand, offshore at Baie you may
look down from boat when in smooth
water and discover ancient houses and
streets far below you at the bottom Of
the sea. Some of these buried cities
were much larger and more important
places than either Pompeii or Hercula-
neum, yet to many travellers their
names seem nfamiliar.-Argonaut.

A Quick witted Partridge

Nesting upon the ground, the par
fridge is likely to be disturbed: A bird
of this species was once startled by a
plow passing within yard or so of its
nest. Destruction was almost GER
tainty, as the plow must pass entirely
over it in the next round, and the Ia
borer wondered how the partridge
would act The time necessary for go
ing around the field was about twenty
minutes, yet in that almost incredible
period the parent birds had effected the
removal Of some twenty-one eggs to a
safe spot. Careful search led to the
discovery Of the bird calmly seated up
on her treasures in the bottom Of the
hedge out of reach of the plow. Nine
teen partridge chicks were eventually
Matched and duly escaped unmolested.

An 1mpromptu Explanation.

The learned Porson was staying at
one time with a well known canon Of
Ely named Jeremiah King. One day
at dinner, when they had got into dis
cussion upon questions of etymology,
Porson gave derivation which King
considered to be so farfetched as to be
quite ridiculous. You might as well
say" said King, "that my name is con-
nected with cucumber" Possibly there
was cucumber on the table "And so
1t is," said Person. How so" asked
King. "Why, thus: jeremiah King, by
contraction Jerry King; Jerry King, by
contraction and metathesis Gherkin,
and gherkin, we know, is cucumber
pickled."

Amusing Franks the Erratic Types

Miss Maude Valerie White, author of
numerous popular songs, has told
number of anecdotes, many Of them at
her own expense. 1 suppose, she once
wrote in the Cornhill Magazine, all
composers have had laugh over the
extraordinary mistakes which some
times occur in the first proofs of their
songs. I remember years ago writing
very sentimental song, in which the
line occurred
I've never once regretted the vow made
that day.
My feelings may be imagined when 1
found they had printed
I've never once regretted the row made
that day.
Miss White also told about an anus
ing mistake which occurred in the pro-
gramme of one Of her concerts: A
well known singer and very good friend
of mine was down to sing my two
songs. ITO Marry" and Grabbed Age
and Youth" But the newspaper an
nounced something very different. Not
content with drawing up programme
Of my concert, it drew up programme
Of my future, for read as follows:

Grabbed Age and Youth.
AS am q good many years older than
the friend in question. the coincidence
struck me as particularly funny, and
cut the programme out of the news
paper and sent it to him. By the first

teal cutting from him, with an inquiry
whether he was to take this as form

Origin of sPants,,

The words breeches, trousers and
pantaloons are now used interchangea-
bly,, but originally the significations
were quite different. Pantaloons were
at first nothing but long stockings worn
in Italy as sort of religious habit by
the devotees Of st. Pantaloon. Breeches
originally reached from the waist half
way to the knee and finally to the
knee, where they were fastened with
buckle. Trousers are the present
style Of leg gear, a combination Of the
former two.

youth who once challenged him and

defeat, asked how much he owed, no
stakes having been previously fixed.
The supposed youth, who in reality was
a girl in mans clothes, presented an or
