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 returns
and is shaved; at eight he begins his
daily work. First of all he receives his
private secretary, who has to submit
to the king his letters and other mail
matter. Next the police project of Bel
grade makes his report to his majesty.
That official has to inform the king of
all occurrences of importance or inter-
est within the limits of the city of Bel
grade
Next the first aide-de-camp, who at
present also acts as court marshal, and
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 1880 lunch is served for the king,
meal in which Marquis de Rose and
two of the officers of the household par
ticipate. The meal is a most simple
affair, and consists mainly of Servian
and French dishes. The king drinks
nothing but mineral water, on account
of an old internal malady, 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 pri-
vate 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 &C.
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 d 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 I. 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 a 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.

TWO NJ HORSE.
To Produce Il Cost Nj. Billings !
. ss Round Million.


: To reach the ideal speed in a trotting
horse G. K. G. Billings, Of Chicago. has
spent more than 81 ,00O, 900. The two
minute trotter became fact only after
years OF experiment and lavish ex-
pend1ture which Is without parallel in
the world of harness-horse sport. It
required fortune to bring out the mare
that could reduce the mark for mile
to the figure that had been dreamed
OF for quarter Of century. It de-
manded new Robert Bonner, whose
love for horses was above the prospects
Of gain.
MI. Billings inherited from his father,
A. M. Billings, not only love for har-.
ness horses, but means to crafty It. He
did not set about to produce horse that
could cover mile in exactly two min
utes, but he aimed at the acme of speed.
In all of his purchases Mr.. Billings has
sought to get the horse that could show
Its heels to others in amateur contests
Possibly Mr.. Billings dreamed of the
tWo-minute trotter, but if he did he never
told 1t to his friends. He was content to
beat his rivals on the speedway and in
contests for amateur cups He spent his
money freely to win amateur races, but
the professional game of racing has al
ways been conducted without his direct
support.
When he began to buy horses Mr.. Bill
lings did not rush into the market and
offer himself as an angel to some of the
shrewd dealers. He called expert horse
men to his side, asked their views on all
matters, and finally commissioned them
to act for him. He spent his money, but
he employed good judges Of horses to
advise him.
Although he has bought scores of
horses, Mr.. Billings has probably owned
less number of failures than any other
man who ever dabbled, as he has, in the

mission to add "Von Rothmaler" to his
surname in honor of his father-in-law,
Gen. Won Rothmaler, a well-known in
fantry commander, who died in 1880.
The new war minister's career has been
distinguished by series of unparal-
leled, rapid promotion from one posi-
ton to another. He made uncommon
progress in the cadet academies of both
Bernsberg and Berlin-such notable
progress, in fact, that, though not quail
flied by age to be an officer when the
war with France broke out in 1870, he
was taken and made at once an en-
sign in the Second Hanoverian Uhlans
In his first campaign his gallantry
gained him the iron cross, and since
then he has gone steadily up the ladder
He married at 25-much earlier in life
than German officer generally enters
the married state.
Gen. Won Einem attracted Emperor
Williams most earnest attention during
last years stormy reichstag session,
when, as the spokesman of the war min
lister, Gen. Won Gossler, he was called
on to defend the government against the
constant and vitriolic attacks by the So
cial democrats. These implacable poll
t1cians are preparing to renew their at
tacks in the coming reichstag with even
greater bitterness. The governments
desire to increase the army and the mil
itary budget will be fought tooth and
nail by the "reds," while the scandalous
brutalities to private soldiers which
have come to light during the last
three months will give them still more
effective ammunition when they begin
to storm the governments citadel
The kaiser saw the handwriting on the
wall, and when Gen. Won Gossler ten
Tered his resignation a few weeks ago
Won Einem, the sturdy debater, became
the inevitable choice for his successor.
The new war minister, while known
in the army as a strict disciplinarian,
bears the reputation of being most
kindly, humane officer and gentleman,
with special regard to the welfare Of
the enlisted man. Many Germans look
to him with hope as the most likely man
in the army to bring about that COM
munity of spirit between officer and man
that mutual respect which is founded
on something else than contempt or
fear-which is the one thing lacking to
make the kaiser's powerful legions the
ideal soldier organization of the world.

PREP & AIRING FOR VAR.
German soldiery Must Be Ready
for Conflict In Moment.
New Head Of Emperor's War ONCE
Will Reform All Branches OF s.
Service and Endeavor to
Correct All Abuses.

Special interest attaches to the kais-
er's new minister of war; Gen. Won
Einem- Rothmaler, for the reason that,
after Emperor William, it is he who will
be responsible for Germany's military
policy, should one of the several war
clouds burst which are now lowering
over Europe. Apart from the new min
lister of wars own striking personality,
the significant thing about his appoint
ment is the fresh evidence it conveys
of Emperor Williams determination to
surround himself with young blood.
Gen. Karl Won Einem-R othmaler is
the first man in the history of the Ger
man army to reach the war ministry
portfolio at 5 years Of age. All hispred-
ecessors have been veteran soldiers,
and the vast Teutonic army war ma
chine has been run on gray-haired lines.
During the last few years the kaiser has
shown decided tendency to rejuvenate
every important administrative depart
ment of his government by putting in
comparatively young men-men of his
approximate age-as heads. Thus he
called the 45-year-old Baron Won Rhein-
baben tobe minister of finance in the
Prussian cabinet; then Gen. Budde, .4S
years old, to be minister. of railways and
public works, and now 50-year-old Lieut..
Gen. Won Einem to be minister of war.
Germany's military organization for
many years has left little to be desired
from the standpoint of efficiency. Yet
the prediction is made that the ''young
blood" which the kaiser has called into
the executive service of the army will so
manifest itself in the form of improve
ments and betterments all along the
line. Traditions are to give way to
modern ideas wherever opportunity Of

and with Mr.. Billings back Of it, amateur
racing became in some respects as promi-

Mr.. Billings did things handsomely.
He already owned fast horses that had
won honor on the New York speedway.
but he secured Bumps, who outfooted all
rivals to wagon. He bought Lucille
and Little Boy and established more
wagon records. He conceived the idea
that Memphis was an ideal spot for win

All the time he was buying horses for
their speed properties and progressing
toward his ownership of the 300 horse.

his greatest fortune came with his last
purchase-that of Lou Dillon at Cleye-
land last spring. He was advised against
buying the mare, but she took his fancy:
That ended it. E: E. Smathers, who is
