The New Nation of Europe
A Meianch0H Fantasy Wustratln

a NEW nation has had its birth.
~ and if is is not stihed in its
cradle by the crowd of its
would-be nurses, not one of whom
has any very friendly feeling to-
ward the infant prodigy, it will
grow up to take an important place
in the concert of European pow
ers." There are several Of those
nurses who could not be trusted
alone with this vigorous Bulgar child.
They would gladly drop poison inits
milk bottle or smother it in the dark
with a pillow. Fortunately for the
infant, its birth has not been an OBJ
scure one, and too many eyes are
watching it to make child-murder
safe in this case.
With every possibility that this
new nation will be a lasting one.
the question becomes Of universal
interest. What blood" runs in it's
veins, and what is its inheritance ?"
Child of the Slavic Race.
1t is child of the Slavic race.
1t is akin to the Russian, the Pole,
the Bohemian, and the Slovac. It's
immediate parents are Bulgar and
Serb, but precisely what name it
will bear as it grows up remains to
be seen. Perhaps it will be chris
tened for the country in which 1t
is born, and be called the Balkan
Empire. That might dispose of any
jealousy between it's Bulgarian
father and it's Servian mother.
Luckily it will not have to learn
two different lanuages. The Bull
gars and Servians. and the minor
people of the Balkan peninsula
while they have their dialects, ali
speak the Slavic tongue, which is
one of the reasons why Russia
would be the head nurse, and the
sole one, for the infant nation, If
she could. But Notwithstanding
her blood relationship, even Rus
STA could not be trusted alone with
the child. Blood is not thicker
than water when a great inheri-
lance is in question. CONSTANT
nople is a gem that the mlghtiest
monarch would be proud to wear on
his crown. 1t would be his chief
mark of distinction.
The Slavs have never yet played
the first fiddle in the orchestra of
the nations, but they believe them
selves capable of handling il

ogist of the University of Prague,
in general it may be said that the
Bulgars We're always SIavs."
Both the Bulgars and the Serbs
are predominantly a dark-hu
people, although there are a few
blond compilations among Them
They are medium stature, and gen.
orally vigorous constitution. They
are by choice herdsmen, farmers
and gardeners. All the world has
heard of the rose plantations of
Bulgaria, where the precious altar
Of roses is distilled, and the plains
of Servia are rich with grass and
grain. From 80 to 80 per cent of
the Servians are farmers. The
Bulgarians have developed silk Gull
ture on considerable scale.
The Montenegrins are also Slavs,
closely allied to the Serbs. Inhabi-
tants of a country which has won
the name of the BLACK Noun
tain Land" (monte, mountain" and
negro, "blackO, they are noted for
their activity, large stature and
courage.
No Immediate Changes.
The entire population of these
countries probably does not ex-
coed about 100000. But if they
should now absorb the population
of European Turkey they would
make & nation of perhaps 15,OOO,-
coo souls. Give them free access to
the sea and they might double their
population and quadruple their
wealth
There is undoubtedly an inter
mixture of the Slav element in
Greece also. But it is probable that
Greece, while willing to enter into
alliance with the Bulgarians and
Servians, will always prefer to
maintain its national independence,
through pride in it's glorious past. if
for no other reason.
1t is not likely that the names Of
Bulgaria, Servia and Montenegro
will Immediately disappear from the
map of Europe although their
boundaries will be changed. There
are too many dynastic prides and
prejudices in the way to permit of
an immediate absorption of all un-
der one head, but the new nation
will stand forth in spirit if not in
name, and eventually it will be
united for in unity only is strength,
and combination is the order of the
day

Those branches with which we
are now particularly concerned
emerged from the southern stem
of the great Slavic family, the
Servians and the Croatians first
and the Bulgarians, who came
from region farther east, little
later. The Croatians ecame diff

were gradually absorbed into Hun
gary, while the Serbs set up an
independent nation in the western
part of the Balkan region, and
retained their independence until
they were conquered by the invad-
ing Turks in the fourteenth CEN

The Bulgars came from the out
skirts of Russia. pushed across the
Danube as early as the Sixth CEN
fury, and occupied the eastern part
of the Balkan peninsula. In the
ninth and tenth centuries they

T n frank moments we are bound
to admit that matrimony. as
general practice, is pretty
dreary affair and that most hus-
bands and wives, if they told the
truth, would confess to wondering
why they let themselves in for a
thing that has SO many more kicks
than ha'pence.
The average wife complains that
she is nothing but a domestic slave.
She spends her days in a dull round
of monotonous duties and in prac-
ticing petty economies. She cooks
and sews and cleans and walks the
suffering baby and binds up

and saves. week after week. month

For reward she has the grum-
bling of a usband VINO is never
quite pleased, who takes all Of her
labor and her sacrifices without
thanks or praise, and who doles out
the money for the necessary family
expenses with remarks about her
extravaganza that blister her very

man says that he is nothing but
beast of burden. That he spends
his life Shaving 10 support a family

Forest Gas Co. Strikes Big Well.

1t was the Forest Gas Co., of Tidloute,
and not the Enterprise Transit Co., which
struck the big well reported last week.
The latter company's venture on the
head waters of Bear creek is reported to
have come in dry.
The big we'll IL located near Coon creek I,
northwest from the mouth of Judy run,
tract 550i, Green twp, on the Forest Gas
Co.'s lease, and is undoubtedly a hum
mer. Chas. Gesin Is the contracting
driler and he also drilled the Enterprise
Transit Co.'s well, finishing both about
the same time, which accounts for the
error in last weeks report.
The Gas company's well is said to have
filled a $50 barrel tank in three hours
flow, when il became necessary to shut II
in for lack of tankage. This would be at
the rate of 1000 barrels a day, but that
fact cannot be determined until means
have been provided whereby the oil can
be saved. A, any rate the showing Is for
hummer.
The strike is in the fourth sand, and
the drill has penetrated it only to the
depth of six feet.
LATER We learn from an authoritative
source that thu well flowed freely when
ever opened up, and up to the last of the
week $50 barrels of oil had been run into
the pipe lines from it. 1t had stopped
flowing when opened up the first OF this
week. The crew began work Monday to
drill it through the sand, since which
time no report has been received. Before
that time the we'll made a flow each time
1t was sgitated.
