JOAN OF ARC in THE SERWAN ARMY

Servia has given the world an
other Joan of Arc, Molly Pitcher, or
Barbara F%rietchie; another oman
whose name perhaps will ring
through the poetry and patriotism of
all time when the war that now is
rending Europe is ended.
Her name is Sophia Yovanovitsch,
and when some Serb historian rises
to tell the story of the struggle of
the little kingdom against the Turk
the name of Sophia will become a
household word in the Balkans.
When the war cloud that has how
cred for twenty years over the Bal
kans broke and little Servia sprang
to arms, Sophia was one of the most
ardent patriots. There were three
young men avowedly suitors for her
hand, and to each of them she gave
the same order-not to ask her to
marry them or to seek her love un-
til they had volunteered and proved
their w%orthiness by serving the
country as soldiers in the army.

SKY PARLOR FOR J. PIERPONT MORGAN

J.. Pierpont Morgan, master Of
multi-millions, now sits under a
smoking Egyptian pyramid, just AS
feet and 6 inches up in the air in
Wall street. He is the Hottest mill
lionaire in New York.
This pyramid, which belches
smoke and steam all day long, is a
replica of the tomb of Halicarnassus,
in which were enshrined the remains
of Mausolus, ruler of Caria, who died
in 1853 B. C. His widow, Artemisia,
erected it. Mausolus, from whose
name lis derived the word "mauso-
leum," was an independent Persian
satrap. 1t is related of him that
every caravan which Jared forth into
the desert had to pay him it's tribute
Of corn, wine and oil.
1t is related of Mr.. Morgan that
he is fairly Independent, too, and that
railroads pay him something of a
tribute today. Mausolus fought and

BRYCE SAYS WARS COME FROM FOLLY

James Bryce, the British ambassa-
dor, told the committee for the cele-
bration of the centenary of peace be-
tween English-speaking peoples at a
dinner in New York the other night,
that nearly all wars had been due to
human folly or human passion.
He dwelt on how much better it
was to celebrate the wisdom which
had ended a war and avoided any sub
sequent conflict, rather than the want
of skill and wisdom which made war
possible. =
The ambassador described what
had been accomplished during his
official stay in Washington to remove
differences between the United States
and Great Britain, and to avoid diff.
ferences in the future. He reviewed
the three arbitrations and several
treaties leading to a settlement of
the Canadian boundary dispute; the
Newfoundland fisheries question; the
matter of the use of the waters on
the boundary and minor points long

sent many interesting features. The more salient
points are actual survivals of federal times.
The class of peasant which may be called ia
borer-farmers" consists of men who receive no
wages. They occupy buildings belonging to the
landowner, which they are required to keep in
repair. The landowners make grants Of seed
and other necessaries, and of certain lands which
the laborer-farmers cultivate for their own bene-
fit. They have free access to the forest for fuel
and for lumber for repairs. In return. they are
obliged to work for the landowner with their
own families and horses. On holdings, where
there is clay, the laborer-farmers are allowed to
make bricks and to earn what they can by sales,
paying so much per cent on their gains to their
landowner.
Many laborer-farmers are quite we'll off, and,
whilst they retain their status as peasants, their
sons and daughters are sent to excellent schools
and enter government and commercial employ
ments. This class of men must not, however, be
COMPOUNDED with the free" peasantry. The lat
ter, although generally poorer, have superior
civil rights and form an estate of the realm with
direct representation in the Finnish parliament.

1909. Alexander I. granted the inhabitants
