SERY|AN PRINCE IS
 STRENUOUS

 BEOS

VIENNA, April 19.-Prince George of Serva's latest prank gives proof of his astonishing physical energy as well has his wilful devil-may care spirit. IL happened al ball. given by the Russian minister at Belgrade where. as customary. the national "kolo' dance concluded the program, The etiquette of these occasions is that no one shall cease dancing while royalty continues to dance and owing to the princes tireless energy and his delight in wearing others down. the kolo is prolonged to the point of eXhaustion-eX except for the prince.
 This time George kept it up for a record duration. and long before it was possible politely to leave the floor he had every other dancer weary and sore Not so the prince; he only ordered the musicians 10 quicken the pace. Some of the men. riSking the royal displeasure. tried to slip away from the .ine of dane CTS. but were kept forcibly in their places by the princes officer chums who had been strategically disposed among them for this purpose.
 As the kolo dance went on most of the unlucky dancers became absC- lutely limp. following their leader around without regard to proper time or step even while the prince encouraged them with cries of "Nev- CT give in. Show your metal!" He then began to step on and off the gilt chairs ranged around the room. The mad dance did not finish until the conductor of the orchestra stop ped the music by feigning illness.
 Next day many of the dancers were sick abed. but Prince George went riding as usual, and was heard to complain that there was so little op- portunity for adequately exercising oneself ill Belgrade.
