language has brought about a cleavage between the tribes of the north and those of the south, between Mohammedan, Cath ollie and Orthodox Albanians.
 A Phase of the Balkan Problem
 It is but a phase of the present Balkan problem that while the Albanians are bitterly opposed to the continuance of Turkish rule-pronounced misrule by the trlbesmen--they are no less hostile 10 what they term Montenegrin pretensions The Christian Albanians of the north, on principle, never lose an opportunity or lessening the number of their Turkish oppressors; yet tomorrow, in the event of a Turkish-Montenegrin conflict these superb guerilla fighters, who snipe at their old enemy, the Turk in season and out of season, would unhesitatingly fall into line under the banner of the Prophet, and would cheerfully make war on their fellow-C -Christians-the subjects of King Nicholas. But why?" one will naturally ask The answer is simple enough To the Albanian the Montenegrin. his near neighbor, stands for Slav influence, and the Slav is reminiscent to his mind Of the extinct Servan Empire which ground the Ancestors of Malissor and Mirdite ruthlessly in the dust before the Turk came and made himself ruler of Serb and Albanian by shatterng the
 
 After all, there is logic in the Albanian process of reasoning things out. They know enough of the stern ethics of war and conquest to realize what would be the probable fate of Albania in the event of Slav triumph over the Turk A vic torious Montenegro would undoubtedly recompense herself by territorial indem- nifcation, and this at the expense Of Albania. So the Malissori, the Mirdites. and the rest of the tribes. be they Moslem or Christian, eye to eye upon one thing-the necessity for keeping the Slav from extending his frontier to the south or southeast Were King Nicholas to- morrow to launch his Russian-trained battalions against Turkey, the Albanians would withoHtr-ioubt take sides against him and assist the Sultan's troops. The knowledge of this fact helped perhaps to exercise a calming influence in state councils at Cettinje recently when, as the outcome of series of unhappy from tier incidents, the Montenegrin people were clamoring to be led too battle against the infidel Turk.
 A deadly race hatred exists between Albanian and Montenegrn, Latin and Orthodox Christians though they be. Not that on the Turkish side of the frontier and in certain parts of Albania any creed counts for very much. It would hardly be an exaggeration to say that to the minds of many of these untutored people Christ and Mohammed appear somewhat in the light of two powerful Sheks or chiefs, whose respective accredited rep resentatives offer to their followers the enjoyment of certain secular advantages;

BEST 10 RELY ON YOURSELF
Only the Weak Are Constantly Max
Ing Condolences, ard Little Sene-
fit Is Derived.

The men and women who go
through life without making conf
dences are the strong ones of the
world. They are their own tribunal;
they stand or fall by their own judg-

without inviting congratulation or
pity, and deal with circumstances re-
CARELESS of the praise or blame Of
others.
A personal confidence nearly always
presupposes weakness. It Is usually
an appeal from ones own mind to the
mind of another, either for support,
for commentator or for sympathy.
The maker, consciously or not, desires
one OF three things: to be confirmed In
his own opinion, to receive the praise
which he considers his due. or to
make sure that some other realizes
what he Is called upon to suffer. He
ia not self-suflcient He must verify
his estimate OF himself before he can
rest on It.
A confidence also Is often the sim
plo result of very human desire to
fill the center Of the stage, even
though 1t be only for an hour, and be-
fore an audience Of one. 1t is an al
most pitiful effort to assert Individual
lty, to rise out of the ranks. to demand
attention. It is a weak expression Of
that nearly universal trait, which.
when at It's strongest, and combined
with genius, gives US Napoleon.
The person who makes a confidence
is almost certainly doomed to disap-
