RULER A PATRIARCH
One of the Worlds Most Inter-
esting Monarchs.
Nicholas of Montenegro Affectionateiy
Known as "the Father OF His
People" Literally Worshiped
by His Subjects.

Vienna.-One of the most interest
ing monarchs In Europe, perhaps any
where, Is Prince, now King, Nicholas
Of Montenegro, who has recently cele
brated the fiftieth anniversary OF his
reign. During this half century ne

friend, and it is asserted that he knows
every one of his subjects by name.
which probably is an exaggeration. He
spends his summers in Cetinje and his
winters in Antivari, down on the
Adriatia coast, but has residences In
the principal towns of the kingdom
and occupies each for few weeks
every year in order to keep in touch
with local affairs. He Is very demo
cratic in his manners, and although he
dresses in the national costume OF his
country, which looks fantastic for
man Of his age, his tastes are simple,
and his habits and manners are those
of country gentleman.
Nicholas was born at the little VII
Iage Of Niegos, a nest in the noun
tains, in 1S41. His uncle, Danilo, the
late Vladika of Montenegro, designated
him for his successor. He was edu-
Gated In Vienna, Trieste and Paris,
and was not quite twenty years old
when he was elevated to the throne.
In 1860, few months after he was
crowned, Nicholas married a Monte
negrin girl, Milena Vukotich, daughter
of Peter Vukotich, president OF the
council of state, who was also farm
or and one of the largest land owners

Too Many Hospitals.

Medical advices from New Zealand
indicate that that country is suffering
from a plethora of hospitals. Every
town and every rural district in the
colony has at least one, and they are
supported partly by the government
and partly by subscribers" who give
O little more than SIS apiece yearly.
Every such subscriber within a
radius of seven miles of the hospital
Is entitled to free medical service for
his entire family so long as the pa.
tient remains at home. This being
the case, physicians complain that
they have to compete with service
subsidized by the government
One writer reports that in some
towns the misuse OF the hospitals has
been so serious that medical men have
been unable to obtain living. 1t is
not stated whether the hospital stat
In a given community is well able to
care for the health of that commu.

The nuptial kiss, with meaning
akin to that OF the kiss of peace, had
it's origin In most serious and prac.

as among some classes of Jews today
it was customary for the bridegroom
and the bride to meet before wit.
nesses in the church some DAYS or
even weeks before the marriage and
there make a pledge of future union.
and at such times ring was USUALLY

Sometimes, however, the man was too

presented kiss, which was doubtless
more pleasant, and was considered q
binding pledge before man and God.

Heating felt a furious tug at his
Line. He made wild grab at the set
pole, and, like the novice that he
was, hauled the long line-fishless-
out of the water and flung 1t back
over his shoulder. A frightened bleat
punctuated the movement.

quisitive nose out of my business

The sheep showed no inclination to
stop, and Heating hastily arose from
his grassy seat on the banks Of the
stream and gave strenuous chase.
He sped grimly across fields, and the
frightened quadruped, after one hasty
glance behind, raced madly to the
fence and swung her heavy form
over it.
Both Heating and the sheep now
buckled in in genuine earnest.
Heating had the college honors Of
his day for long-distance running.
He grimly set his jaw and settled
down to fancy sod busting.

ease. The sheep was now some dis
