Automobiles back from summer runs
through Europe bring many stories Of
the effect on remote sections of this modern
means of travel, but none are more char
acteristic Of the adapting OF old to new
conditions than those told Of the efforts OF
out Of the way places to care for the
speeding tourists. The travellers with money
who formerly stuck close to the lines of
the railroads have turned to the great
highways, and the hosts Of the small inns
now find a cosmopolitan crowd hungry
and thirsty at their doors. They are going
20 care for them, but in their W way.
I'VE were speeding along through south
ern Austria" said a New Yorker who has
just returned from a late summer auto
mobile ride in Europe. Little towns
sprang up along the way with their ever
present minarets, latticed windows of
harems and yelled women, but there vas
not a sign of even a coffee house, and l
was beginning to wonder where we were

a1mall stream Isaw a sign in half a dozen
languages saying that the platform under
a big chestnut was a resting place where
you might get something to eat and drink
A man in Turkish dress with a long gray
beard bowed US with much dignity to the
one table and then told US that his bill Of
fare for the day was mutton. At the ami
time he pointed across the stream to where
u was in a state OF preparation.
"The cook was sitting on a stone dreamily
watching the carcass OF a sheep that was
slowly turning on a wooden spit over a log
fire. He was relieved Of turning it himself

the spit was a water wheel which revolved
&ith the current, and the cook had only to
look after the fire.
we walked across the stream on step

ost brought a roll of Turkish bread, come
vegetables and wine that he said was made
from grapes grown on the nearby hillside.
1t was not good appetities alone that made
us enjoy the meal, for | still have a memory
Of that delicious roast. Before the auto
mobilists came, the old fellow said, his Gus
toners were few and his returns were
meagre, but nov he felt that he was on the
road to prosperity with another wife in plain
sight and a few more Serbs as servants.
Later in the afternoon We saw through
a cloud Of dust in front a mar standing in
the middle Of the ro1d and a little girl OF
five or six clinging to each hand. The mans

and his wife there was an old man drumming
away on a guzla and singing the story OF
his HE. In response to our request for
something to eat they offered some hard
bread that was to be soaked in oil before
eating, and for drink they gave a distilla-
ton of plums that was stronger than any
gin l ever tasted. We might sleep, the pro-
prietor said, either in the loft or On top Of
the oven. He promised to keep up the FIRE

The automobiles who comes north from
the Dalmatian coast welcomes the sight Of
Mostar, for il means a rest at a good
Government hotel. The town, however,
hemmed in on all sides by steep barren
hills, is one Of the hottest places in the
world during the summer months. Nature
has kindly furnished a refuge in the caves
with which the section is plentifully sup
piled. Along the bank Of the Narenta, in
its course through Mostar, there are a
score OF these cool caverns that have been
used from time immemorial as hot weather
retreats, and the residents OF Mostsr and
travellers take to them as people OF other

TALES OF SHIFTING HOMES.
CITY WAREHOUSES; CROWDED
WITH HOUSEHOLD GOODS.

Great Changes I'm the style OF living in
New York Caused This Year by Love o.
Change AMI Excitement, Higher Rents
and the Ever Present Sery ant Question
Owners of storage warehouses-those for
household belongings--l look happy these
days.. The business is booming. Some
OF the reasons given for this state OF affairs
are soaring rents, the scarcity OF large,
conveniently situated apartments at moder-
ate rents, the servant question and the in
creasing restlessness Of the New York
woman.
The storage people say nothing about
the restless New York man, probably be-
cause in nine cases out OF ten they deal with
the woman.
The passing Of the attic Is also mentioned
as a reason. The attic store room of the
past lie now masquerading as a bedroom or a
studio, and in the newer private houses
and the up to date fats and apartments
storing away 30 much as a bandbox outside
Of the tenants own rooms Is not 70 be
thought Of.
The storage mans tale OF prosperity
varies according to the locality OF his ware
house. The biggest increase OF business
comes to those situated in the apartment
house belt and identified more particularly
with the fairly prosperous than with the
poorer or the very rich class.

PEOPLE NEVER
TIRE OF CIRCUS

Do you remember your first circus?
Or course you do. Do you recall the
ecstatic thrill you experienced when
father said you could goo Do you re-
member the glorious street pageant,
the blare Of the brass bands, the lovely
mounted ladies and Sir knights. the
parade of the carefully groomed horses
the wall of the caliope, the display Of
open dens Of wild beasts, the tableaux
wagons, dens, cages, floats, and last
but not least, the coming of the gro
tesquely laughable clowns?
But of course you do and the men,
DRY of it still sends thrill through
you. What a delightful odor of saw
dust is around the circus lot: what
wonders are promised in the side show
tent and then you come to the MENACE
rie with its dens and cages set around
in circle. the elephants peacefully
tossing hay over their backs and ac-
cepting al the peanuts one will give
and then the mystic wonders to come
in the big Tent"
1t is all delightful and day we'll
spent and one goes home tired but
happy after a strenuous day in the de-
lightful world Of the white tents. And
this Is why one never tires Of the cir
Gus. OF course It's the same old thing.
1t was the same old thing when you
were boy, but it's not the same old
thing" to your boy.
One sees in the circus things one
cannot see in the theatre or the county
fair. The circus is at once entertain
ment and lesson in natural history.
To the lover of good horses the display
Is intensely interesting and for the
small cost of admission, one gets
veritable feast Of entertainment and
instruction and all this tells just why
one never gets tired of the circus.
With the coming Of the new and
greater Norris & Rowe circus at Lew
iston Friday, May IS, Lewiston people
will have a chance to renew the old
memories and once again experience
the thrills all are wont to delight in.

PUT METERS
ON LIGHTS

The placing Of meters to determine
the amount of electricity utilized by
the city was endorsed by the city
council at the regular meeting Monday
night. The matter was brought before
the council by Councilman Wing and
was strongly endorsed by Councilman
Phillips. In the general discussion It
developed that belief existed that the
city was not receiving the light pro-
vided for by the contracts and the in
stallation of meters would serve as q
protection both to the city and power
company.
An ordinance will be prepared pro-
viding for charges to be made by the
city engineer when work is performed
for private parties On account Of the
character of the duties of the engin-
GERS office his services are often re-
quired by private parties and the ordi-
nance will provide a uniform charge
for all work.
The council also discussed the en-
forcement of the building ordinance,
the award of the east Main street
sewer contract and the ordinance now
being drafted to regulate the heighth
of telephone and the electric light
poles.
report Of Councilman Osmers was
rendered recommending that T. Miller

by bursted water main, Miller hav-
ing asked for damages to the amount
