MOTORING I'M THE sIERRA.

1t all goes to show how a miracle
of yesterday becomes the common
place of today. Until within the last
two years the Sierra grades were con.
sired the supreme test for motor car
drivers. For many owners even to at
tempt the trip was considered as much
as cars life was worth. Then i'm.
proved roads and increased realization
of motor car possibilities seemed to
boost the Sierra routes almost in a
day into the position of first popular

spire, began to keep their chairs at
the dinner table, even though the
honldng of horn and wild cacliling of
Loultry proclaimed the passing of an
automobile. Then the merchants OF
| these same settlements began to have
calls for various accessories, such as
gasoline and lubrlcating oil. At first
they peered over their steel-rmmed
spectacles and snook their heads neg
atiyely, while the loungers raped
their heels against the barrels on
which they sat and grinned behind
their hands. But it did not continue a
! joke. The gasoline tank began to pay
better than the grain bin Today the
well-stocked accessories department
! of the many general merchandise
stores that perch beside the various
Sierra roads eloquently evidence the
important growth of automobile tour
ing in those parts. The early feuds
between settlers and automobilists
have been completely dispelled
through a greater regard cultivated by
the latter for the formers safety, and
the realization but recently reached by
the rural inhabitant that the coming
of the auto means much for the devel-
opment of his locality No motorist

civility need now fear any inconven-

cap of recent royalty, for his claims
to such high descent go back less than
a century-to the peasant Karageorge,
or Black George, who in 1904 led the
instruction against the Turks and
ruled over Servia until 1913, when
Miles Obrenvitch supplanted him.
Royalty that dated back no further,

sian grand dukes are liable to have
broods of daughters so numerous that
it pays to take a chance on a volcanic
throne for one of them.
But the announcement didn't helm
Servia's crown prince in the least at
the coronation; the proud princes of
other realms snubbed him just as
hard, for there have been too many
slips in Servia's royal matches to
make acknowledgment worth while
until they actually happen.
If this studious descendant of a
fighting peasant should ever attain to

through the small but warlike people
who are to be his subjects, he may

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 17.-Isaac
Blumenstein, IS years old, and his sis
ter Julia, IA years old, were attacked
by sewer rates in the cellar Of their
South street home today. They were
seriously injured Their wounds were
dressed at the Pennsylvania Hospital.
The girl was sent to the cellar for a
fruit jar, As she reached for It she
was attacked by an immense rat Her
screams brought her brother to the
rescue. According to the brother, at
least ten of the rats then attacked
them and they had to fight their way
to the stairs. Three of the rats killed
measured more than thirteen inches
from the tip Of the tail to the head.

Royalties That Nobody Loves

Servia, bloodstained kingdom, out
law among monarchies, has provided
spectacle for europe that is one OF
the sad sequels to the long era of rev.
olution and crime for which she has
been notorious.
She provides, for the derision OF
mankind, a royal prince and Princess
both of them deserving of no re-
proach-from whom, on her account,
the whole world turns it's scornful
face. Good to look on, excellently am
bilious, rich enough for life's common
needs if not wealthy, they neverthe-
less have been hawked about in every
court of Europe and have been almost
universally repudiated as royalties fit
to be loved.
One of them is Alexander, crown
prince of Servia; the other is his pref
ty sister. Princess Helene. If faith
er's disowning of a son can wipe out
all kinship, then these two are the
only children of King Peter Kara

George, abides in a Partisan exile, for
ever forbidden to enter his fathers
house and so much as set foot on the
land of his inheritance.
They are real royalty, so far as a
peoples consent and the pomr' and
power of ruling can invest them with
the dignity, But they are treated by
other princes and Processes as if
they were below the level of mere no.
bility.
Those who best know history admit
that the time may come when one of
those disdained scions of the house of
Karageorgevitch will make those
naughty princes rue their scorn.
