several years. He has had as following
large number of the younger and
more erratic Of these fiery people and
has been given to some very silly boast
ing
When few months ago Austria Hun
gary gobbled up Bosnia and Herzego-
vina Servia went mad with Indignation
and there sprang into existence a party
who would appeal to arms and declare
war against their giant enemy. Peter
realized the hopelessness of any such
effort, but the crown prince, boastful
and braggart, talked loudly in the cafes
and tangled his sword as he walked or
rode about the streets of the capital.
He made visit to Russia and expected
to meet with every encouragement
there, but the Gar advised the young
man to go about his business and do
less talking.
George returned to Servia and sulked
in his tent. His father threatened him
with arrest unless he abandoned his
warlike attitude, but there was still a
large element which drilled and strut
ted and talked of wiping Austria off
the map If George would only lead them
to the fray.
Peter tried In every way to induce
the powers to interfere and compel Aus
tria either to restore the two provinces
to their former state or to remunerate
Servia for the loss Of Serb prestige
But, while the nations grumbled at the
high-handed act of Austria Hungary,
the dual kingdom was adamant. Fran
els Joseph knew he had his people SOL
idly behind him. He was prepared for
an appeal to arms He realized that
Germany stood ready to side with him
and to Illustrate any effort Great Brit
ain might make in favor Of the Serbs
Russia, to the surprise and Indignation
of the Servians instead of proving
their champion, consented to the pol
icy Of Austria with scarcely murmur
King Peter realized that war would
mean the effacing of his little kingdom
and has used his influence to keep his
angry subjects in check. BY the col
lective action of the powers at Belgrade
the annexation of Bosnia and Here
govina became a closed incident.
Recently the Servian atmosphere was
somewhat clarified by the act Of Prince
George In renouncing his claim to the
throne. The Servian Parliament hest
tated to act, but King Peter readily
accepted the. boys retirement and
named his second son, Prince Alexan-
der. as the heir to the throne. Alex.
ander is a more conservative youth than
George and the welfare Of Servia would
be safer under him than it would be
under the former crown prince, though
he is by no means an ideal prospective
ruler.

A Reason for Helping.

The poor help the poor more than
the rich help them. An official of the
Department Of Charities in New York
recently remarked this trait.
Everything has its cause, its simple
and striking cause, If we can but find
it," he said. "Once, in miserable
slum, I heard two little girls talking
about this matter of poverty and
wealth and helpfulness.
"'Why is it, said the first, that the
poor allus is more willin' to help us
than the richY
1.-THE second child replied promptly,
and not without some bitterness, Them
wot don't mind givin' is the ones wot
stays poor"

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 spark of manhood
left in him. He fought valiantly and
gradually retreated to a 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
yard.
The Coming of Peter.
Then Peter, a descendant of formeA
dynasty, residing in secluson in Switz-
erland, was sent for and was elevated
to the bloodstained throne. There was
a 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 influ.
ence.
Half a dozen times it has been ru-
mored that Peter would prefer to-aban-
don his scepter and again seek the safe
ty and comfort of private life, but the
unpopularity Of his eldest son made
this impossible unless he cared to see
some member of the old dynasty or
some scion of one of the great powers
Of Europe elevated to the Servian
throne. The crown prince has been a
thorn in the flesh of King Peter for

growth begin to appear; or when the
plants show one-tenth in bloom. The
cutter bar should be set about S inches
above the ground the first year, and
the first cuttings, if light, be left upon
the ground. 1t is imperative that the
crop should not be pastured the first
two years.
Every year about April first dress
ing of 100 pounds of land plaster
should be applied, and while the
ground is still soft, thorough cultiva-
tion should be given, with the disc
harrow set straight and weighted and
run crosswise, followed by the common
harrow. This cultivation keeps out
grass and weeds, splits the alfalfa
crowns and thickens the stand; keeps
the surface soil mellow and helps con-
serve the moisture to carry the crop
through the dry months. If the soil is
poor a top dressing of well rotted ma
nure applied in the fall will prove ben
eficial. 1t is well to let the alfalfa go
into the winter with six or eight-inch
growth.
In Western Oregon the common va
riety of alfalfa should be used, prefer
ably Montana grown.
In pasturing alfalfa, to avoid bloat-
ing, cattle and sheep should not be al
lowed to go on the field with an empty
stomach or when the plant is wet, and
to prevent roofing, hogs should be
ringed. Where cut and fed green to
cows, there is no danger of bloating.
An acre of alfalfa will furnish pas
ture for about ten good sized hogs, or
summer green feed for ten cows.

No monarch in modern times ever
ascended a bloodier throne than that
to which King Peter Of Servia was
called In 1908. No one at the time ex-
pected that he would escape assasslna-
tion or be permitted to reign for any
length of time. In fact 1t was long
time before the powers accepted him
with any cordiality, for it was hard to
believe that he was entirely innocent
Of at least previous knowledge of tho
terrible tragedy which was to shock the
civilized world and place a throne at

well and has held the hot-tempered
and factional people of his little king
dom well in check. Lately his greatest
danger has lain with his eldest son, the
boastful frebrand, Crown Prince
George. That danger now seems to be
past, however, with the remuneration of
his rights on the part Of the prince and
his retirement in favor of his more con-
servative brother, Alexander.

THE TRUE MAPLE FLAVOR.
Housewives Welcome Maple Flavor
That Has the Real Maple Taste

Vermonrers have a reputation for
the quality of the maple syrup pro-
duced in their state. 1t is but few
years since the discovery was made of
a method of imparting this delicious
flavor to dishes without the use of
maple syrup. The new favoring ex-
tract was appropriately named Ma
pleine.
Strange as it may seem, Vermonters
themselves cannot tell the difference
between syrup made with Mapleine
and that which comes from their own
Green Mountain state. This is due to
the purity of the ingredients and the
care used in the manufacture.
Mapleine is perfectly healthful, is
purely vegetable and makes syrup
that is equal to any and superior to
many brands of maple syrup that are
placed on the market
Flavoring for cakes, icings, blanc
mango, sauce, etc., that is delicious
and has all the piquancy and delicacy
of maple syrup can be readily made
by the addition of few drops of
Mapleine to little. water in which
granulated sugar has been dissolved.
Mapleine syrup makes such dishes as
rice, tapioca, stale bread, etc., simply
irresistible to children.
Mapleine Dainties is the title of a
booklet full of wholesome receipts pub
1iahad hv tha Craccent Maoilfa ctiIripr ~
company, who make Mapleine. The
booklet will be sent free to anyone
who asks for it. You can buy Maple
inc of your grocer. Try it, you'll like
it as thousands of others have. Here
is sauce for puddings that is deli
cious:
Whites of two eggs, one and one-halt
cups of granulated sugar, one cup of
milk and one teaspoonful of Mapleine.
Mapleine can be used anywhere that
other f1avoring extracts are used.

FORTUNATELY for the .nothers
! upon whose patient fingers juven-
lie wardrobes must largely depend,
children's fashions do not show the
caprices of the grown-up world with a
change of season.
All white will still be considered the
height of elegance for girls below G.,
though cloth in very pale colors will
be equally modish, says the writer in
the Chicago News. For practical serv-
ice plaids are very much to the fore,
and some of the new ones show an
effective combination with small dots
or solid squares. These are in ging-
hams, cheviots and soft-twilled woods,
the last-named materials making up
excelleptly with velvet or ribbon bands.
With a rough cheviot for a girl of 8
a common skirt braid may be used for
trimming, put on in rows of three, or
to edge a bias of the dress stuff. In
fact, with all-wool materials the home
sewing mother may go any time with
confidence to her scrap-bag, for any
bit of contrasting material may be
used for garniture.
Children's coats continue to be SEN

or silk dress and the smartest coat in
the wardrobe.

unwholesome fur piece which otherwise
might be necessary In cold weather.

HPIANO PLAYER,
At night anoint your f1nger-tips thor
oughly with cold cream, and then bind
them with pieces of soft linen to re-
duce the flesh. At some drug stores
you can obtain regular little thimbles
for this purpose. If the wolfe gown is
made over silk 1t will not need much
trimming. l think stitched bands OF
taffeta would prove effective. The tas-
sci idea does not appeal to me. Girls
of all ages wear beaver hats trimmed
with plumes.
