Uzhitse, Servia.-One cannot help
wondering during wartime what the
children Of the belltgerent nations
think about It all. How do the panics.
the carnage, the firing Of guns appear
to their young minds?
It is fairly easy to answer this ques-
tion SO far as Montenegro is concern
ed, for from the earliest age children
take the keenest interest in their ia

dozen or so knives. pistols and other
knick-knacks he wears in his wide

walk down Chestnut street without
his collar.

dren play, and here the game was in
variably bullflghting, but in Monte
negro the only game for babies is war
to the death with the Turk.
The Montenegrins are stern race,
and the fathers, though devoted to
their children, do not believe in pam
pering them. Indeed, discipline is
strictly maintained in the home.
But shall not easily forget the face
Of Prince Mirko, the second son Of
King Nicholas, and the idol Of the ma
ton, when he told me of the death Of
his two children. They caught typhoid
fever in Nice and died within few
days of each other.
"Have you any children?" he asked
me.
"None," I replied.
''Well, you may thank heaven for
that" said he, "for you will never go
through the agony l suffered. veri-
ly thought my heart was broken and
that I never could be happy again.
"As 1t is, cannot bear to hear the
Riviera mentioned, and wild horses
will not drag me to Nice again."

QUITS \. 0. PRISON.
MURDERER SENTENCED FOR Lifs
Is PARpoNED.
Crime Was One Of the Worst In An,
nails OF the
State.

Fargo. - The last and CLOSING
chapter in one Of the most notorious
murders ever committed in North Da.
kota is now closed. Joe Remington,
sentenced to prison for life for the
murder of George Flett at Arthur, this
county, has become a free man as q
result Of the clemency of th3 state
board Of pardons.
The murder was one of the most
cold-blooded crimes in the state and
Is vividly recalled by the pioneers Of
this section. Remington was raised
at Casselton, between here and Arthur
and in the fall of 80 was employed
on farm near the latter place. He
took load of wheat to Arthur, and in
those days the elevator agents car
ried large sums of money, frequently
paying in cash. Remington saw Flett's
roll.
Afterwards Remington went to Min.
neapolis and for a short period drove
a hack. He formed the acquaintance
of notorious woman there and soon
spent what money he had savel. Her
he had seen Flett carry.
Remington quietly returned to Ar
thur, concealed himself in the hay loft
at the elevator and in the darkness
when Flett came in to feed the horses,
Remington brutally beat him to death
and escaped with the money. The
murderer was arrested at La Crosse,
where he had gone with the woman.
When he returned to Fargo he
pleaded guilty and received life SEN
tence. The state board of pardons
commuted his sentence last summer
to %. years and now Remington has
stepped from the penitentiary at Bis
marck free man.
Since the recent lynching at Steele
many editors of the state have boldly
asserted the mob violence was direct
ly due to the leniency shown by the
pardon board to Remington, who was
guilty of one cf the most brutal mur-
ders in the history of the state.
Remington has had a remarkable
record in the state penitentiary and
is said never to have violated a rule
of the institution. He has been re-
garded by Warden Hel1strom as a
"trusty" and for two years had charge
of the penitentiary exhibit at the state
industrial show at Bismarck without
a guard

Much Damage is Reported As a Result

Fargo.-A binding snow fell in

Farmers in the northern and north.
western counties reported losses of
some Importance. Threshing. has been
at a standstill with snow on the
shocked grain for the past two weeks,
and the additional heavy fall of snow
makes it certain that the grain will
not be touched until spring.
In the southwestern counties thresh.
ing has been in progress in spite of a
light fall of snow, because a large
quantity of the grain was stacked, but
the present storm will be the final
check to the work there also. In.

and the thermometer fell below zero
for the first time this season at an

KNOWN YACHT
SENT TO JUNK HEAP

New York. May 1.-The Electra,
probably the best known steam yacht
on this coast. is to be sent to the Junk
heap. She was built in 1884 at VIII

seven years as the flagship of the New

launching has always flown the yellow,

Commodore Gerry.
The Electra was to have been fitted
out this year. but when inspected last
week 1t was found that several Of her
plates would have to be replaced and
that some of her frames had corroded.
and so the Commodore decided to
have h old yacht broken up. She be-
lonEed to the iron period and was
built before steel was used in the rom
struction of steamers. She was 1877

since she was launched.
