In Public Schools.

Uzhitse, ServsR.-0ne cannot help
wondering during wartime what the
children OF the belligerent nations
think about It all. How do the panics,
the carnage, the firing of guns appear
to their young minds?
1t Is fairly easy to answer this cues-
ton SO far as Montenegro is concern
ed, for from the earliest age children
take the keenest interest in their IA
theirs collection of weapons and the
dozen or 20 knives, pistols and other
knick-knacks he wears in his wide
belt.
A Montenegro would be just as like
ly to go for a stroll down the village
street without his entire arsenal" as
a Philadelphia dandy would be likely to
walk down Chestnut street without
his collar.
In Spain I used to watch the chill
dren play, and here the game was in
variably bullflghting, but In Monte
negro the only game for babies is wal
to the death with the Turk.
The Montenegrins are a stern race,
and the fathers, though devoted to
their children, do not believe in pam
pering them.
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 a few
days of each other. ~
"Have you any children?" he asked
me.
None" / replied.
well, you may thank heaven for
that" said he, "for you will never go
through the agony l suffered. l veri-
ly thought my heart was broken and
that I never could be happy again.

Riviera mentioned, and wild horses

THE LAST OF THE TURKEY.

Last Thursday, twas a glorious sight,
All crisp and brown and hot;
The turkey graced the festal board
And had the honored spot.
On Friday 1t was there again

In which the white meat and the dark
We're gathered in a bunch.
Again 1t anne on Saturday,
A salad twas this time; ~
And, though 1t was the same old bird.
The salad tasted prime.
Then. Sunday-here 1t came once moro.
1t seemed twas here to stay,
For prominent on the menu
Was turkey consomme."
But Monday closed the birds career.
We knew twas gone for good.
For a big platter full Of hash
Upon the table stood.

Some Cause for Rejoicing.

In addition to the general occasion,
for thanksgiving, every life has its
W Joys and every soul it's own de-,
lights. There are many who appear to,
be barren OF rejoicing, some into.
whose homes calamity has come and,
from which have gone those whose
faces were the love lights OF the do
nestle circle. But v en here may be
found some cause for rejoicing, and,
in any event, a reverent faith may
take up the triumph of the uncrushed
spirit Of Job-"Though he STAY me,
yet will ! praise him" God does not
willingly afiict the children Of men,
and when the misfortunes come he
stands ready to comfort and to protect.
