HAWAIIAN SERVANTS.
A Story which illustrates Ono q

A Story which illustrates Ono Of
Their Peculiarities.
Hawaiian servants" said brown
woman, fare the best-the best in tho
world, but they are strangely unso-
phisticated, strangely naive.
Hawaiian servants insist on calling
you by your first name. Ours were al
ways saying to my husband, Yes
john or All right, John, and to me-
Very well, Ann or Ann, I am going
out
"At last got tired of this, and to
John, when we got new cook, said
"'Don't ever call me by my first
name in this new cooks presence
Then, perhaps, not knowing my name,
he'll have to, say Mrs" to me-
so John was very careful always to
address ME as 'Dearie' or Sweetheart
gave me no title at all.
Zone day we had some company,
some English officers. told them how
l had overcome, in my new cooks
case, the native servants horrid abuse
Of their employers Christian names.
and said, BY this servant, at least,
you won't hear me called Ann
Just then the new cook entered the
room. He bowed to me respectfully
and said:
I" Sweetheart, dinner is served
.WhatT j stnmmered.

ed the new, cook. New York Herald.

Greece and Roumania, Unable to
Fight With Troops,Will Try
Commercial Fighting
AN OLD QUARREL RENEWED
Dangerous Situation in the Balkans
More Complicated by The Action Of
the Sultan in Recognizing Independ-
ence Of People Living Near Mace
donia.

washington, Nov. Am open
break between Greece and Roumania
will, according to private information
received in this city, soon make the
dangerous situation In the Balkans still
more complicated. During the begin
nifg of the last month, Greece re-
called its diplomatic Representative
from Bucharest, and Roumania was
thereby forced to withdraw her minis
ter from Athens.
The immediate cause Of the breach
was the fact that the sultan recognized
the independence OF the Koetso WAL
lachs, q people living near The Greek
border In Macedonia, which number
perhaps 100000. They belong to the
Roumanian race, but were claimed by
tine Greeks to be under the command
Of the Greek patriarch On Constantine
pile Accordingly bands were formed
on the Greek frontier and expeditions
sent among the Koetso-W allachs to
force the latter to acknowledge Them
selves to be Greeks and to register
that way d,mirg the census. then being
taken in the Ottoman empire. The
sultan did not Interfere, and the Koet-
so-'Wallachs were forced to ask for the
help OF Rourniarlia. That country, de-
string to be represented in any future
partition OF Macedonia, gave 1t help,
and its intervention led to the present
situation.
AS 1t Is not possible for the two
countries to attack each other either
ON land or ON sea, the only damage
they can infact ON each other, 1t is
stated, would be through and economic
war in which according to statistics.
Roumania wcMdd have the advantage.
Fr,m 1901 to 1904, the Greeks inn
ported S,3s0,oD frames worth OF goods
into Rou1nania, white the Rolmanian
imports into Greece did not amount to
more than 100000 frames. It Is also
pointed out that Of the s.057 ships
which visited Roumanian ports during
1903, 1857 were Greek. There exists
between Roulnanta and Greece COM
mercial treaty effective until July,
1906.

Dog Tried, Convicted and Hanged.
William Chambers. the famous Eng.
lish publisher, once related an extraor-
binary story Of sheep thief hanged
at PEBBLES and buried at crossroads
with stalk. through his body. The
remarkable feature Of the case was
that the thitf's dog was tried for aid
ing and abetting In the crime, convict

master. It was proved at the trial that
the man when out with the animal
used to indicate to 1t some particular
flock Of sheep he wanted: After reach
Ing home the dog returned to the place,
rounded up the sheep and by devious
ways, and only after dark, drove them
home. There they were kept for some
days and their owners marks destroy

ed with Others legitimatcly purchased
and driven to the English markets.

RUSSIAN PRISONS OPENED.

gathered, looking for loved ones who
vanished years ago and whose where
abouts were unknown, but only four
were released.
Disappointed women waiting for
sons, husbands or brothers, broke down
and wept. A man named Fralenko
and comrade, who said that they had
spent over twenty years in prison,
came out with long white boards. They
knew practically nothing about what
had occurred during their long impris-
onment ..
Sasoneff, the murderer of Interior
Minister Won Plehve; Peter Karpovich,
the assassin of Minister of Public In
struction Bogoliepotf; Gerolinni, the
chief of the terrorist conspiracy, and
other terrorists were not released. A
large body of prisoners released from
other prisons later visited various
meetings and related their experiences.
Few Ever Return.
Few prisoners incarcerated in the
Schlusselburg fortress ever returned to
the world. No fortress in Russia, save
Peter and Paul, is more gloomy, or has
witnessed more cruelty and suffering.
Schlusselburg fortress is forty miles
distant from ST. Petersburg on an is
land in Lake Ladoga, opposite the head
of the river Neva. 1t is swept by the
lev winds from the lake in the WIN
ter and surrounded by marshes. which
breed clouds of torturing insects, in
the summer.
1t has long been a proverb in Rus
STA that no one knows the fate of
Schlusselburg prisoners. No one knows
who are sent there or what will be-

ity of Cubans for self-goverrnnent was
made most manifest

mits that there were anxious moments
during the campaign, but fortunate
ly," the president adds, all passed
without serious difficulty and the real
tranquility of the republic was undis-

and had taken, all reasonable precau-
tons necessary for insuring the due
respect Of the law.

tensions and Improvements of the tele-

AIRY for its conduct during the recent
disturbed conditions in the province OF

A Queer Ceremony.

A queer ceremony is performed every
year on the sth' day of September in the
Vale Maggie, Italy. The region
abounds in vipers. The celebrants
form into a weird procession, each per-
son-man, woman and child-carrying
n huge figure of snake stuffed with
cotton. AS they pass along they weep
and lament, believing that by the cx-
piatory ceremony they will render
themselves proof against snake bites
during the grape gathering.

Chicago, Nov.
Prices hold steady. There is large
percentage of the stock more or less
frozen; some only a little, some very
badly. Some have been frozen in the
cars while in transit but a good per-
centage was damaged in the fields and
have been mixed in with the good. This
makes buyers suspicious and for the
present they are disposed to use more
caution in purchases. Under present
conditions most cars have to be picked
over and the frozen ones taken out.
Under good demand prices score a
slight advance and sales are readily
made.

able to manage them.
His wife was one of the handsome
