Silence.

Very few men know now to keep
still. The Italians have a proverb,
Hear, see, and say nothing, if you
wish to live in peace" The man who
is bent on telling all he knows, gen
orally ends in telling a good deal more
than he knows. The tongue is harder
to bride than the widest horse that
ever roamed the prairie. The Ger
mans say truly that talking comes by
nature, while silence comes of the un-

But, on August 12 of that year, the
marriage occurred. Alexander loved
Draga madly and was wholly under
her spell. Moreover Gike Napoleon

Milan, hearing of AleXanders pro-

turned back by soldiers at the from

No court would receive them; no ruler

This is a story whose chief events
are still well remembered: the tragic
romance Of depraved Balkan king
and the ami !tious daughter of a Ser
Wan cattle dealer.
Seryia is little country on the Bal
kan peninsula. Once it belonged to
Turkey. Since winning freedom it has
been jealoHsly watched by Austria and
Russia. 1t is a buffer state. from a
political point of view and is inhabit-
ed by crude, primitive, semi-Oriental
people. Its history for the past cen
tury has been of comic opera sort,
interspersed here and there with hor-
rible tragedies. Nearly every ruler
has been murdered or deposed
In 1869 King Milan came TO the
throne of Servia. He descended from
peasant and was one of the most
dissolute men in Europe He gov
erned abominably and maltreated his
queen, Natalie.
Alexander who next was proclaimed
king, was brave and of powerful build
but he was as wicked as his father
and far more ignorant. When he was
little more than

mating woman, who was double his
own age and only two years younger
than his own mother. Draga had be.
gun life with small prospects but
boundless ambition. Her father was
cattle dealer named Lunjevitza
When the girl was II she married
Col. Maschin of the Servian army
Next, she managed to win the favor
of Queen Natalie and became one OF
her ladies-in-waiting That was how
Draga happened to meet Alexander
From the first she set herself, heart
and SOUL to win the wayward boys
affections. She succeeded, and &C
qulred mastery over his mind that
made him obey slavishly her lightest
whim. Thus began in 1891 12-yeal
romance that was the scandal of Eu
rope. 1t was finally Draga Maschin
not Alexander, who really governed
Tor misgoverned) Servia.
During Alexander's boyhood the af
fairs of state were managed by 6
council Of regents. One night, wher
he was II, Alexander invited these re
gents to dine with him at his palace
in Belgrade. After dinner he rose anC
announced that henceforth he woult
not require their services, but woult
rule Servia to suit himself. The re
gents protested. Alexander had then
arrested on a charge of treason ant
proclaimed himself king. The tricl
amused the Servians and they stoos
by the plucky boy, not knowing tn,

mother, Natalie, realized this and
seeing how dangerous an infuenc,
Draga had gained over the youn,

The proposal of the Natchez chamber
of commerce to hold statewide imml.
grafton convention, to be called at some
late date by Gov. Noel, Is attracting
considerable attention. If Gov. Noel
calls the state convention it is very
down their full pro rata of delegates.
This country, more than any other part
of Mississippi, is desperately in need
of the white man for the farms, and once
the movement of white land owners can
be started this way, it is believed the
1uture of the Delta will be one of very
rapid growth and development.
