When King Nicholas l. of Montene-
gro declared war with Turkey he light
ed a torch that has fired the Balkan
states into fury against their hered-
itary enemies. In his proclamation to
the people King Nicholas said:
Montenegro had hoped to obtain
the liberation Of the Serbs in Turkey
without the shedding of blood, but
peaceful endeavors proved unavail-
ing, and no other recourse was left
but to take up the sword on their be-
half
1--WE are assured in this holy under
taking Of the sympathy of the whole
civilized world, and we will have the
loyal assistance of the kings of Servia,
Bulgaria and Greece and their peo-
pies, who in this affair have ranged
themselves with the Montenegrins like
brothers"
OF the countries named Bulgaria has
a war establishment of 275,000 men,
Servia is believed to be nearly as
strong, Greece is rated between $4,000
and 100000 men, while Montenegro
can put upward of 10000 men into the
field Turkey will probably be able to
mObollze 100000 men to meet her foes
in the Balkans.
Montenegro, the state that opened
hostilities, was a principality until
1910, in which year it was proclaimed
a kingdom by the national parliament
on the fiftieth anniversary of the ac-
cession of Prince Nicholas. 1t was
formerly a province Of the old Servian
empire, which came to an end in 1899,
since which date it has always claim
ed to be Independent and was so rec
Ognized by the Berlin treaty of 1873
1t has an area of 3,4S6 square miles
and population of about 225,000.
King Nicholas was born in 1S41 and
succeeded Prince Danilo in 1860. He
was proclaimed king In 1910 One Of
his daughters is queen of Italy, anoth-
er a Russian grand duchess and a
third a princess of Battenberg. The
Montenegrins are a hardy, warlike
people, passionately devoted to their
independence.

FOR THE CHILDREN
A Cats Bravery.

Cats show great bravery in protect
ing their kittens. There is no enemy
that may approach cat with kittens
and remain unattached.
Once cat was playing with her
children about barnyard when sud
denly large hawk appeared on the
scene and. seizng Il kitten. scared
away. The mother cat gave a tre-
mendous jump, caught the bird and
made ii drop its prey. 4 dreadful bat
tie ensued. The hawk fought with
battling wings. sharp talons and crook
ed beak. Mrs. PusS used mouth and
claws. and though deprived of one
eye she struggled unit. she succeeded
in breaking the haWE's wings and
finally laying it dead. Nearly exhaust
ed and bleeding. she tore Off her ad-
versary's head in great delight and,
regardless of her sufferings. ran to
the bleeding kitten. licked its wounds
that the hawks talons had made and
purred over the Sitten with a great
feeling of content and happiness.-Phil-
adelphia Ledger.

A Matter of Application.

On the marriage of a favorite
nephew, reasoning that the couple
would receive all sorts of costly pres
ents, an old lady who was a great
lover of gardens sent them a fine
edition of a book on flowers. She
wrote their names therein, together
with an inscription. Promptly came
note from the nephew, acknowledge
ing the gift with profuse thanks.
"The book is no end jolly, and it's the
only book we got, aNd we both thank
you ever so hard: but, confidentially,
dear Aunt Martha, Louise was just
a little hurt over the inscription. Are
we really as bad as all that"
Aunt Martha was puzzled for just a
minute; then she remembered that the
inscription was: 30 all ye green things
upon the earth, bless ye the Lord;
praise him and magnify him forever" !"

Of thirtyfour victories to five defeats

twice won more than thirty

HUMOROUS QUIPS
A Protest,

rThe treasury department is considering
the advisability of making paper money
smaller.l
Wowl wowl Wow!
See what is threatening nowl
Added to all our other ills,
They're going to chop our dollar billsl
To pile distress on our troubled souls
They're going to minfy our rolls,
To the end that a chap with a wad of
cash
Won't have such chance to make
flash!
They're going to NOW
Our verdant dough,
Going to plume
Our sweet mazume
Going to trim, those heartless masters,
The area small of our green shinplasters!
And yet, why fret?
Why excited get?
There's little of use to cry.
It's only the way things go today.
Since a dollar now less Will buy
BY twenty per cent than II used to, why
Shouldn't 1t then much smaller be7
It's a logical following, you can see.
II dollar is now worth fifty cents
Why should It boast with fall pretense
To be a dollar in size at all
When really It should be much more
small?
So trim the money and cut 1t down:
Shave 1t and slice its edges aroun;
Cash 1t and slash 1t hour by hour
Till In size 1t equals it's buying power!

Famous Numbers,

Each member of the company must
have a piece of paper and write a
number on 1t. The papers are then
put in a bag and shufiled up and each
player draws one. They must now
open their papers in turn, give the
number written on it, and instantly
name something or some one con-
nected with such a number. For in
stance, say there are five players, this
is how they would play the game
when they had drawn their numbers:
/. My number is four-the four sea-
sons.
2. My number is three-the three
graces.
3. My number is one-the president.
4. My number is eleven-the worlds
champion baseball team.
3. My number is twelve-the twelve
months of the year.
Any one unable to think of a subject
in connection with the number drawn
pays a forfeit. All forfeits must be
redeemed at the end of the game.

ALWAYS EairX Tales.

There has never been a language
spoken that has not been used for
telling fairy tales. Whether in hot
lands or cold, among savages or the
most cultivated nations-why, not o
moment passes in which some one,
somewhere, is not telling fairy tale,
or listening to one, or reading one, or
perhaps writing a new one. Which
makes it delightfully."- probable that we
shall always have them with us, how
ever scarce the fairies may have made
themselves in these prosaic and prac-
tical days.-St. Nicholas.

Home Life of the Grebe.

Unlike most birds, the grebes do not
brood their eggs continually, according
to a writer in Outing. 1t is only at
night and on cloudy days that you
will find them at home. AS soon as
the sun has risen and warmed the
chilly morning air the old bird leaves
her nest, and, collecting decaying vege-
tation from the shore or bottom Of
the lake, she covers the eggs with a
thick layer and leaves the swelterlng
mass Of steaming muck to hatch them
while she spends the day in idleness or
play.
