The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-11-15

once Iancy Is the pass leading 70 Get you find yourself bitterly deceived. The pass, which is $500 feet above the lev el of the sea. is almost immediately above Ca'ttaro. and what you have to do is to climb a, seemingly endless ser ies of winding galleries of road till you get there. Once you go back into the country three or four miles and look down upon a fertile plain, but this is only that the road may curve back and get a fair start up the pre- ciDitous mountain behind Cattaro. Then you zigzag up that mountain, al-
 ways looking down on the town from greater and greater heights till you reach the pass. The carriage takes view and you become weary of it.
 Finally you reach the pass and find yourself in the forsaken-looazing steppes of Montenegro. Rocks every where, no trees, no shrubs. no flowers. no interesting vegetation. It 1s sour country. You roll through it for sev- basin where there is little town. The name of it is N5egus and it is the an- cestral home of the royal family. Here you stop at the Grand hotel for lunch con, which consists of raw ham Oh sliced bread with alard-bofled eggs. You can drink coffee, wine or beer. You feel that you are right down among the people, but still you are eager to get away to CettinJe, for you have hopes that in royal capital you may be able to buy 8 better meal In go- Ing out OF U1lS UOW11 you p<%<SS L1l7 country seat Of the crown prince. It is a plain, white plaster house with a gable roof and has a garden of mod crate size with a few trees You be- gin to realize that the Montenegrins are simple people. When you leave this royal country seat your road as- cends in more nounta nous windings to the eastward till you come to the pass of Krivacko zdrJealo. You do not pronounce the name but c3rtent your self with the Knowledge that the pass f, and most vast areas of tossed and cFaggy rocks y'oll come in sight of tine red roofs Of CettinJe. The town is sit approanh s m t oo by ion@ l piece ~ of % stradgt sG road which turns out to be the pro longation of the main street and leads you directly up to the front door of stories high, and before its wedcom- ing doors are not less than three stone tables and haaf a dozen chairs, where you may sit out under the trees But they serve a fair dinner at this house.
 Baedelner solen1mly says of CettinJe that it resembles a dear little country town, but has characteristics Of its own. Thfs Is indeed illuminating The fact Is shat when you first see CettinJe and try to realize that 1t is a. royal the whole thing is a joke arranged for tour1sts- Almost all the houses in the town are two storoe7 high. have gable roofs and are painted lighS blus % or
  wooden houses we used to get out of Noah's ark when we were children. One Is sure that if the Moutenegrins were not watching him he could suck the paint off any one of them. Tale rDaDobs of the town have houses of two higher stories. and these are just as gntion has a building quite out of har- mony with She rest of the town. and the Austrian legation is also guilty of D paiace I bears ~ . e. close I rsseznbaanee to a typical German postoff1ce building, but the palace Of the crown prince is neat and pleasing white house much hind the Grand hotel is the public park, which vies with the rest Of the town In it's simplicity and toylfze char about about s.eoo. and you you z can zee all It's sights in an hour, but in less than that time you will stop uhinking that Mon
