hculty In recalling the tragedy of the
palace at Belgrade ON the night Of June
10, 1903. King Alexander and his wife,
Queen Draga, had exhausted the pa
thence Of their subjects. The King, deaf
to all the suggestions of common de-
cency, was wont to spend his time In
the most questionable circles Of Paris
and to keep himself almost constantly
in condition of besotted drunkenness.
Over and over again he would have re-
signed in compliance with the wishes of
his subjects, but his Queen was made
of sterner stuff, even though she was
scarcely more admirable character.
Finally came the tragedy. In the
dead of night traitorOus statesmen and
soldiers broke into the palace and
forced their way to the royal bed cham
ber. Then Alexander demonstrated
that there was still a spark of manhood
left in him He fought valiantly and
gradually retreated to closet where
he was hewn down. The wretched
Queen shared his fate. Chopped beyond
semblance to human beings, the bodies
Of the King and Queen were thrown out
of the palace window into the court

The Coming of Peter.
Then Peter, a descendant Of former
dynasty, residing in seclusion in Switz-
erland, was sent for and was elevated
to the bloodstained throne. There was
demand on the part of the powers
that he punish the regicides, but he was
either unwilling or not strong enough
to do this and the murderers retained
their places of prominence and infiu
ence.
Half a dozen times it has been ru
mored that Peter would prefer to aban

Manufacturing wood pulp, though a
potent cause of forest destruction, is
by no means the only one. Notwith-
standing the enormous increase in the
use of metal, concrete and other ma.
terials for building purposes. the pro-
duction Of lumber is immense. The
census bureau at Washington esti-
mates that nearly $75O,OOO,OOO worth
OF lumber, lath and shingles was
turned out in the United States last
year. With reports at hand from 2S,-
$50 mills, it is proved that $7O7, 095, 400
worth was so produced. The details
are: Lumber 4O,256, 154, 900 feet, val

A theater usher was baffled at a per-
Torrance, the other night, by woman
sitting in an orchestra row where her
head completely obscured the stage for
the people Immediately behind her,
says the Boston Herald. Three times
he sailed down the aisle to make the
usual request, and each time when he
looked at the head" he saw it was no
obtruding hat but simply a stack of
puffs of hair, with a jeweled ornament
pitched toward the left eyebrow. But
occupants of the back seats, becoming
restless, enjoined the usher to go and
do his duty, and finally, as he couldn't,
one holder than the others addressed
the lady with will you kindly remove
your hair?" OF course, it had no effect
except to bring the whitening, and a
most unexpected, retort: This is my
own hair, and does not come off," That
settled it, and admiration succeeded
bitterness, If not despair 1t was indeed
something to look at and to covet. No
matter If it was impossible to see
around or above the billowy, puffy
mass.
