BY JULIAN MILLER.

II USTRIA- HUNGARY is talking
n again about putting more railroad
into Bosnia. Bosnia doesn't care.
The Bosnian prefer to plod over the
Kaldermas, which pretty word describes
long lines Of deep holes and high boul-
ders. Optimistically supposed to form
a. road in this interesting land.
Bosnia used to be wakeful enough.
A quarter of a century ago it occupied
as much space regularly in the news
as the other Balkan states do today.
In those days, trouble in the Bal
kans" was not complete without
massacre or a revolution in Bosnia.
Sometimes it was at the expense Of
the Christians; sometimes the Turks
paid the fiddler. The bill was always
large and red.
After Bosnia was turned over to
Austria Hungary, it became inglori-
onsly quiet; and today it is probably
mentioned less in the worlds history
than most native states of interior
Africa.
If Bosnia is ever shaken out of it's
Rip Van Wrinkle sleep under the
Shadow of its Dinaric Alp wall, now
is the time: for the new Banus. who
has been named to govern Croatia,
Slavonia and Dalmatia, which squeeze
Bosnia between them, is a lineal de-
scendant of the old Bosnia kings.
His name is Theodore, Count Pejacse-
vich Won Veroecze. This is mentioned
merely for local color.
The old kings or bans of Bosnia
were great folk. They lived in pal
aces hidden in the dark mountains
1t would be hard to build palaces or
huts in Bosnia without having them
In mountains. A Bosnian calls a place
that is 1000 feet above the level of
the sea lowland, and views it as
highway of commerce.
The old Bosnian bans never failed
to pick UP good fight if it lay before
their doors. They fought the Turks
and the Hungarians and the Dalma-
tfans alternately. By the treaty of
Berlin in 1873, after the Russo Turk
ish war, when all the nations, small
and big, that were engaged in the
fight were presented with diplomatic
gold bricks, Austria -Hungaria, that
didn't fight at all, got Bosnia and
Herzegovina.
The Bosnians tell story to account
for the formation of their land. It
accounts for that and other things.
threatening the worlds markets suffi-
GENTLY to brighten anybody.
The story is that one day the devil
was hurrying across the Balkan pc
nlnsula to see a man. He bore on
his back few arguments in the shape
OF bag full of boulders. AS is we'll
known to all who are at all acquainted
with him, the devil favors his left
foot owing to little family matter
in the shape of a hoof. This made
him stub his toe against Montenegro
and he stumbled and fell headlong.
His bag flew over his head and the
contents went heller SHELTER over the
place that is now Bosnia. The devil
was SO annoyed that he left the out

highways. But the Bosnian plows in
sight of railway trains with wooden
plow made by his ancestors. In sight
Of freight cars and railroad stations
full of modern supplies. he plods over
his red roads with his feet covered with
immense pouch-like shoes made of pigs
skin with the bristles left on. Under
Christian rule he wears his red fez
and linen trousers of Turkish cut,
gathered at the ankles.
And he looks at the wide, new roads
and then mounts his shaggy, thin lit
tie horse and goes pounding and stumb-
ling and jouncing over the trail of his
daddies.
The Bosnian horse is a patient beast,
forgiving under insult and injury. 1t
looks equally happy, whether mired
or stabbed. 1t is never seen by any
chance without a wonderful article of
furniture on its back, occupying the
place reserved for a saddle in other and
happier lands.
This piece of horse furniture looks
most nearly like a small table with
stubby legs. The legs are spars TO which
are fastened all the articles that are to
be transported.
The limit of the Bosnian horse load
is defined only by the capacity of the
taDle-leBS ana the dVdllaDle amount OIL
rope
Bags, boxes, baskets, lumber, hay,
household utensils, travelling neces-
saries-all are tied on till there isn't
an inch of room left. There aren't
any straps. Ropes are used to tie
the baggage on, ropes lash the furni-
ture to the horse, a piece of rope acts
as bride.
When the horse has been so well
packed that little of it can be seen, the
Bosnian gets on himself. He sits in
front of this load, and as the Bosnian
idea of loading a horse is to put every
thing we'll forward, the rider sits almost
on the animals neck, much like man
mounted on a camel.
With this outfit the Bosnian Is
happy and the horse doesn't mind. Off
go the companions, clambering. The
horse can climb like a goat. 1t will
fall into hole, ascend a smooth face
of rock, slide down another and fall
into second hole as placidly as if it
were ambling over pasture.
The Bosnian likes it. for it is literal
ly true that where certain fearfully bad
bride paths are paralleled by excellent
new highways the Bosnians still plod
up and down, jolting and stumbling,
along the bride paths.
The bride path is not IDEAL but

an uneasy feeling among them that
they were all open to censure
1t was plain enough that old man
Greenhut had it in mind to administer
a rebuke, but just what form the verbal
chastisement might take was not clear
to any. For a long hime he looked
from one to another, opening his mouth
two or three times as if to speak, but
thinking better of it each time.
Then, shaking his head slowly and
So1emnly, he opened a cigar box and
taking out a big black cigar he lighted
it carefully and walked around to his
favorite seat by the window. Putting
his feet on the sill he smoked for a
long time in silence. Then he said:
Pears like it were heap better
for to know what class you're in,
whether you're preachin' the gospel or
whether you're playin' draw poker. Ell
a man knows he's in the mule class,
he don't enter himself into no trottin'
matches with thoroughbred horses, an
similar, he don't start no argument on

she made the assertion that the tramps
