The Montenegrins have the frank. omen
races OF mountaineers and a good deal of
the mountaineer's simplicity. A group OF
picturesque veterans was once thrown into
some confusion when asked for permission
TO snapshot them, because, as one OF them

since the annexation Of Bosnia the Aus

ton work all over the United States
proper, and In Alaska and the colonial pos
sessions, look for their supplies mainly.
There are tons and carloads taken in and
shipped out each year, and the list of sup
plies comprises more than $500 different
articles. For a shipping point the geo.
graphical center between the Pacific and
the Atlantic oceans has been found just
what the doctor ordered. Growth as a
storehouse and distributing point alone
ought to keep Fort Omaha long at the
front when air flight or air fight is under
consideration.
Even now several new barracks and util-
iy buildings are in contemplation. such as
a modern machine shop and laboratory,
which will afford many practical advan-
takes in work and experimenting not now
available. One of these days there is
likely to be developed In the schools and
workshops of Fort Omaha a genius of such
bent that the world will listen when he
felix's OF the secrets OF this very significant
Industrial activity. There is, II is agreed,
such a field for inventors of daring spirit
as the world never before offered. Inves-
tigation OF the air is not at all an airy
subject. but a very serious and solid prop
%osition; mastery of its mysteries, strata,
currents and changing temper means un-
dying fame and great material returns;
and patriotism inspiring the whole should
enthuse and illuminate, as II does. the
hearts and minds of many grand men.
Their goal, sure to be reached, is the point
where simplicity OF construction and ease
of operation, certainty of course and sure
ness OF return, will make air machines as
handy TO men and nations as motor cars
are to those who can Vwn and enjoy them.
Whether the United States shall lead or
follow In that great day is a subject of
keen concern to men like those at work In
Fort Omaha, who are hoping and striving
in spite OF the discouragiRg and dilatory
course of congress-. and the uncarlng. indif-
ferent attitude of a public which should
be closely and persistently interested. Here
in Omaha at least, and in other places
having like stations, interest should be OF
that character to keep officers and men
keyed high with the knowledge of loyal,
unwavering and hard-fighting support.

toured Europe aimlessly, then settled in
Paris, came back to New York, became

1t Is said that the brilliant line Of evil

that Mr. Fair was first killed in the motor

Lena Rivers" is taken from Mrs.
Mary j. Holmes novel of the same
name. The flavor of the novel, which
is known to everyone, has been care
fully preserved, and the dramatic sit
uations have been worked out with
practical and skilful hand
Miss Bessie Dainty who takes the
title role, realizes every anticipation,
and meets every demand with the
authority of her undoubted art. In
her h:.ndr Lena Rivers is a delightful
creation, a sort of intermingling of
breeze and sunshine with an occasion

cloud She is equally effective in the
roles calling for naive comedy and
those depending upon the sterner emo
tons
Miss Dainty's support is excellent.
c. NJ. Steelsmith is decidedly effective
in the part of John Livingstone. Will
liam E. Blake gives an admirable por-
trayal of the character of Durward

Nancy Scovendyke, makes the most of
her opportunities, and scores big hit.
The bulk of the praise for those in
the support. however, must go to Miss
Halycon Bisnetta, who in role of Car
oline Livingston, gives to the part
just what the author must have ex-
pected. Thomas Hopkins gives a
splendid Interpretation of the charac-
