CETTINJE, Montenegro. Oct. TO-
A furious battle between Montene-
grins and Turks was raging today
around Detchitch mountain and along
the Scutari road, on the Turkish side
Of the frontier.
The Turks, heavily reinforced over
night, were moving down the ad-
rancing Montenegr MS from behind
strong entertainments. Crown Prince
Danilo, Of Montenegro, In active com
mand, was on the firing line. King
Nicholas had general charge OF the
operations from the Montenegrin side
OF the frontier.
The Turkish general In command at
Podgoritza, where fighting began yes.
terday, committed suicide just before
the Montenegrins opened fire because
he had received an order from Con-
stantinople giving a more experienced
officer precedence over him.

BUDAPEST, Oct. 10.Following
their initial reverse by the Montene-

Cannon after cannon was put out of
commission, and after thirty minutes
engagement the Turks fell back upon
Detchitch mountain. Here their fortf-
ncatlons were much stronger and
throughout the afternoon the Monte
negrins were held back by a hail
storm OF rifle and artillery shots.
During the afternoon and last night
Turkish troops arrived from the
southwark, were constantly landing on
tne shores OF Lake Scutari near the
Montenegrin frontier and at dawn to-
day heavy fire was resumed on the
Montenegrin lines. The latter re-

Declared Until Sunday.

Turkish General Committed Suicide Because
He Was Reduced in Ranks by Orders
from the Sultan.

Servia's demand is regarded as Inn
possible of acceptance by the Turks.
Not only does 1t insist on autonomy
for old Servia, but on partial occu-
patton of the district by Servian
troops until autonomy has been estab-
lished. II Turkey refuses, it adds,
war will be declared Sunday.
The Greek note severing diplomatic
relations with Turkey has also, been
drawn, but, SO far as yet known, has
not been presented. Greece, alone
among the four Balkan allies, shows
considerable hesitancy about engag-
ing in hostilities.
Diplomatic representatives here OF
the powers said today that they will
not give up hope until its three allies
join Montenegro in declarations OF
war against Turkey. They think it
barely possible that Montenegro was
stirred up to take the initiative to
frighten the powers into redoubling
their pressure upon the sultan to sat

Villages In Flames.
VIENNA, Oct. 10.--Many villages
along the Turko-Montenegrin frontier
are In flames, according to message
today from Cettinje. Wounded peas
ants are reported fleeing for safety
into the Montenegrin interior. From
Turkish sources come stores OF the
Montenegrins' cruelty and of the
slaughter of women and children at
their hands. The outcome of the
battle Of Detchitch mountain is still
in doubt.

to cave, beseechlng him now and then
to turn his face inside ont if possible to
give him a better chance at the work
ings.
When the dentist has completed his
grottO he takes a handful of pure gold
and beats it into the cavity with a small
trip hammer, muffling the patient with a
sheet of rubber dam" He uses this
because 1t is absolutely necessary that
someone should swear during the opera
ton. When the gold has been ham
mered into place the dentist files it
down, cooling the tooth with water and
then anneals the whole thing with blow
pipe, after which he polishes, buffs and
varnishes the job and packs up his tools
for the day.
Going to dentist is more painful
than going to an old-time inquisition
and the patient leaves the chair with his
face feeling like the entrance to train
shed. But after a dentist has pros
pected around a mouth and has done
about 500 worth of mining, filling, truss,
bridge and cantilever work the owner
can enjoy beefsteak for 20 years longer
and does not have to sit up nights for
weeks at a time with tooth which is
making more trouble than Theodore
Roosevelt did in the Republican conven-
ton.

The Loser
. By walt Mason.

If each might be. the ehooser of des-
tiny, I guess no man would be a loser,
or languish in distress. But things are
so adjusted in this sad mundane place
that some ones hopes are busted when
ever there's a race. Some one must sup
in sorrow whene'er the sun goes down,
with boding that the morrow viii also
wear a frown. Mankind is ne'er en-
battIed, there is no great advance, but
some ones badly ratified, and some ones
name is Pance. And so the luckless
snoozer who can't keep in the van should
be patient loser, and smile the best he
can. In an the bygone ages, since
Adam flew the coop, the winner drew
the wages, the loser drew the soup. A
girl Is never married, all orange-wreathed
and gay, but that some guy has carried
a broOding grief away. There is, fear,
no blessing, that hasn't got its sting; the
losers walls distressing haunt those who

Dentists
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author OF at Good Old SiWash.s

THE dentist is a cheerful fiend who
mines for nerves in the teeth Of
humanity and gets paid so much
per pang for the pain which he causes.
Dentists are a necessity like death and
taxes and are just about as popular with
their customers. Thanks to the dentist
our teeth last longer than they once did
and people do not have to tOtter through
old age on spoon food. But it is very
hard to thank the dentist while he is
performing his valuable service. 1t is
almost as hard to refrain from rising
up and shifting him with the operating
chair.
The dentist preserves our teeth BY fill
ing them. To fill a tooth the dentist
sits the owner in a stout, suspicious
lOking chair and opens his mouth until
he can count his ribs from the inside He
then takes a small sharp drill revolving
at the rate of II 900 revolutions per sec
Ond and bores through the tooth down
into the collar bone, cooling the drill
now and then when it gets hot. Hav-
ing drilled his shaft he puts IN a lew
laterals, gangways and working cham
bers, instals a stump, and mines out
bone and nerve until the victim begins
