ROMANCE OF KING PETER.-The Ber-
lin Tageblatt tells the story Of how
King Peter won his wife.
1t was in 1878, in one Of the many
fights between the Montenegrins and
Turks. that Prince Peter was serving
as a volunteer when band Of Turk
ish raiders swooped down on Prince
Nicholas's camp, seized his daughter
Lorka and carried her of.
~ Prince Peter Karageorgevitch sum-
moned his own followers and started
in pursuit. He overlook the Turks,
who, though numerically stronger,
were beaten and put to flight. The
prince himself cut down Princess Zor-
ka's captors, and brought her back to
camp.
The prince of Montenegro was over
whelmed with gratitude and exclaim-
ed: How can I ever repay this price,
less service?" Before Prince Peter
was able to reply, Princess Zorka, then
q girl of SURPRISING beauty, interpos-
ed and said, Father, give me to him."
The princes bravery had taken her
heart by storm. He was only too
pleased to accept the unconventional
proposal. 1t was thus he won his
wife.

SHEEP DOG DECORATED IN PARIS
Tram, a large sheep dog owned by a
suburban resident, has been decorated
by the Paris Society for the Protec-
tion of Animals. At the meeting Of
the association, held in the Winter Cir
Gus, the minister of agriculture being
in the chair, Trans record of services
was read out. He has saved several
persons, including his master, from
drowning, has dragged small children
out Of the way of passing vehicles, and
has frequently found missing articles
for the owner. For all these distin-
guished services Tram was decorated
with a splendid collar, inscribed with
his own name and with that Of his
master. The decorated dog barked and
bounded about with delight on the
platform after the collar was put on
his neck, much to the amusement Of
all present at the meeting. The soci-
ETY. distributed awards to policemen,
who had summoned carriers and cab
men for cruelty to their horses. Some
Of the Paris cabmen who are noted
for treating their animals well, were
also recompensed.-London Telegraph.

IN LArImER's DISTRICT.
IL 10 Denied That Rural Frss Delivery
Favors Were Lavish.

favor1 "0f0 LavIeHs
Quoting some remarks Of the New
York Sun concerning Senator Lati-
mer's favor with Superintendent Mach
en- Of the rural free delivery postofiice
service, which were reprinted recently
in the Evening Post, the Anderson
Daily Mail says:
The Daily Mail is not an especial
champion Of Senator Latimer, and 1t is
no part Of our business to fight that
gentleman's political battles, but some
Of the statements in the Suns article
are 80 palpably false that we cannot
let them go unchallenged.
routes "75 per cent of the patrons can
neither read nor. write, and do not re-
ceive on an average Of half dozen
letters" If any postoffice inspector
made any such statements as that he
either did not make careful inves-
tigation" or else wilfully perverted the
facts.
Not a single route has been estab-
lished that was not needed, and in this
county at least the rural mail service
is not yet as complete as 1t should be.
It will require the establishment Of five
or six new routes to meet all the needs
of the people, and we presume this is
true of other counties in the state.
Some of the rural mail routes may not
pay. but neither did the old star
routes "pay," and we have never yet
heard 1T claimed that the postal SER
vice Of the United States was being
run as money making institution.
The truth of the matter Is that the
scandals that have been unearthed In
the postofflce department are proving
to be very embarrassing to the Republi-
cans, and they are foundering about in
desperation. Instead Of probing the
matter to the bottom and bringing all
the guilty boodlers to justice they are
trying to place some Of the odium on
the opposite party, without justifica-
ton or excuse. Mr.. Latiner saw, ear
lier than most of the other congress-
men, what great boon the rural mail
service would be to the people on the
farms and he went to work and by
persistent work secured all that he pos
sibly could for his district. It is not
right or fair that an attempt should
now be made to punish him for his
foresight just because the head Of the
rural mail service has turned out to be
dishonest.
It is a political trick, Of very
reprehensible sort, and it will ineyita-
bly, fail.

Almost Everything Taken from Him
Now but Title and Salary.
The political developments Of the
postoffice. investigation promises to be
as widespread and important as the
criminal exposures. More than one
political life is at stake. A sub-surface
fight is going on, with all kinds Of
blood-letting, though the top Of things
Is serene.
One Of the men marked for slaugh-
ter Is Robert ]. Wynne, first assistant
postmaster general. simmered down,
no one knows exactly what his trans
gression has been unless 1t Is that he
discovered the Machen ring and had
the nerve to uproot 1t when others did
not see or failed to act. No one famil-
lar with the daily workings Of the de-
partment expects to see Wynne sur
vive the insidious attack to be made
upon him. s,..s esI
He is not to be decapitated at one
fell swoop. That would SAVIOR Of re-
venge and Wynne might become a
martyr. The method being followed in
Wynne's case Is much more scientific.
It consists In dismemberment. Here q
little. there little, he is being shorn
Of his authority. =. !.
The first operation. performed upon
him was the transfer of the rural free
delivery service to Fourth Assistant
Bristow. It was said at the time that
this transfer was temporary, merely to
give Mr.. Bristow a better opportunity
to dig into the Vaccinations Of Mach
en-. But now it is well understood that
Wynne will never again be in charge
Of that important service.
Several other minor operations have
been performed on Wynne, looping of
an arm or a leg of his division. II the
programme is carried out, nothing will
be left Of the Office Of the first assist
ant postmaster general but the title
and the salary. Wynne has potent
friends at work trying to save his neck
from the silently working knife. They
have advised Wynne to keep still and
attend strictly to business.
The furry over Postmaster General
Payne will probably subside. A num-
ber Of influential newspapers demand
ed his resignation. They regarded
him as weak in his grasp Of affairs,
and quoted his famous "hot air" bon
mot as evidence that he failed to see
deeply into the rottenness in the de-
partment. But Mr.. Payne has demon
strated that he willing worker with
the axe.-Washington dispatch to In
dianapolis News.

ton caused by this discovery was ex-
traordinary and still more 80 was the
upset Of 1t, for the magnitude Of Its
success overcame Adams reason and
he became insane before ever the Sc
cret of the construction Of "talium"
vas given out. Adams died year Ia
ter a hopeless lunatic and as there
were no papers explaining his method
the great secret was lost. All the tools
and engines of "talium" which he had
made remain, but no analysis has re-
vealed the method by which the metal
was blended. "Talium" is lost.
The extraordinary perpetual lamp"
of Henry Mills, which he invented,
perfected and proved the worth Of
twelve years ago, was lost in quite a
different manner. The Mills lamp was
an incandescent light produced with
out any using up Of -materials-it had
nothing to do with combustion and the
flame" Of 1t was perfectly cold. It
was certainly one of the most wonder
full inventions Of the age and not at
all an expensive affair. Mills made
two of these lamps and demonstrated
their absolute success, but an extra
ordinary thing happened before the in
rention was put at the disposal Of the
public On the night Of May 20, 1899,
Mills laboratory in Hampstead was
broken into, both lamps. broken into
fragments and all the papers describ-
ing the invention, involving years OF
work, stolen, There was not the slight
est clew to the perpetrators Of the
burglary, which was done most scien-
tifically, and the crime has never been
traced. Even the reason for 1T is not
known-whether 1t was malice, jeal-
ousy or theft. No use has been made
of the stolen papers and Mills, who de.
pended on these papers, set to work
again, but two months later he con-
tracted typhoid and died, and Britain
was thus deprived Of his secret.
In one way it Is perhaps as well
that the new gunpowder, "fulmite," in
vented by Herbert Sawbridge, six
years ago, n6ver came to a head. Saw
bridge discovered this powder by ac-
cident in his little chemical expert
mental room at Exeter. He perfected
the powder after good deal Of study
and trouble and finally showed that in
on ordinary service rife this powder
could drive bullet accurately dis
tance of nearly six miles and that at
ordinary ranges 1t gave over ten times
the penetration that "cordite," the
present powder gives. "A bullet pro-
PEELED by it at 800 yards would pene-
trate twelve men. It would have been
terribly destructive invention, and
one of it's best points was that 1t did
not stain or corrode gun In any way
and, above all, damp could not harm
1t. But such Is the extraordinary IA
taiity that seems to dog inventors that
Sawbridge was killed In an explosion
in his laboratory, which wrecked the
entire cottage. This happened" soon
after the government had begun to
negotiate with Sawbridge for the pur-
chase Of his invention, but the explo-
sion that killed him destroyed any rec
ords there might have been OF his
work. It was not "fulmite" that kill
ed him, but an accident with ordinary
nitro -glycerine.-Journal Of Electri-

These Good Old Words Now Regarded
| az Bad Form.
The edict has gone forth against
"Sir" and "Maam," those good old
words, and It is now regarded as very
bad form to use them in conversation.
So when you meet person who in
terlards his or her remarks with these
expressions Of Difference, rest assured
that that person Is social green
horn, who should be received sparingly
If not absolutely barred
The country at large was first re-
minded Of the fact that these words
had been placed under the ban by a
sentence in the New York Suns re-
port of the answers given some weeks
ago by little Miss Marion Burdick, In
the Burdick murder trial.
"Marion's answers" says the Suns
report, were constrained and terse, al
most impolite. She never added Sir
to them and her tone was often de-
fiant"
The more knowing" journals
promptly proclaimed this episode as
an evidence Of the child's good train
ing, and pointed out that "sir" and
| "ma'am" are now obsolete in the best
society.
| mo doubt" says the New York
Commercial, "some Of the court OFF,
cials and attendants and a majority
of the throng present regarded the
omission of the word as due to the
child's lack of courtesy, or perhaps to
her ignorance Of that measure OF de-
ference and respect which is due from
boys and girls to their elders. But
that Is a long exploded notion"
The same paper quotes from GER
tain "matron Of about forty" who
seems to be a sort of social oracle:
1T hasn't for score Of years been
good form for children to say sir and
'ma'am' to their parents or elders. l
was taught to, and did 1t almost up
to the time L was married. When his
two cousins were on here from Indiana
last summer my Jack nearly had a fit
every time they used the words
sometimes I had to laugh myself, es-
pecially when they said yes, ma'am,'
to the seamstress. I'm told that In
some parts Of New England and out
west the absurdity Is still taught in
the public schools and that failure to
comply with it is serious breach Of
good order. Sooner or later they'll
learn better, Of course"
| Most of our readers, no doubt are
already aware that these words have
been called in" For ourselves, we
had noticed that they were falling into
disuse, but did not learn until recently
that they had been positively forbid
den. At the risk Of being termed de
lightfully provincial" we must confess
that we like the good old custom, and
can see no harm in the alleged obsolete
words.
But this is a world Of change. The
polite forms of one generation become
the absurdities of the next. A CEN
tury ago a young man writing a love
letter addressed. his flancee as Res
pected Miss" Today he begins either
with something like Dear Old Girl" or
more frequently with no !salutation at
all. Yesterday people in good society
said YES, ma'am." mo, sir" Today,
they are instructed to say simply yes
or no. Tomorrow they will say yep"
and nope"
