The Parcels Post

There was i~naugrated January 1st, 1913 the
new system OF Parcels Post whereby cheaper trans
portation is possible upon practically every sort of
merchandise except in a few prohibited articles.
The advantage is incalculable in saving and
convenience. Residents in outlying districts, par
ticularly those favored by rural free delivery, will
find this system to be of inestimable benefit to them.
Intricate as such a massive system was to work
out, those in charge of it have s~impli6ed it into easy
working form.
Following our usual rule of preparing charges
en- purchases of SIS and upward, within a hundred
miles of Wilmington, we shall further extend this
privilege under the Parcels Post system. Under
the zone system as arranged there is a sliding scale
of rates covered by distance.
AS a guide to be prepaid postage charges you
can gain an idea from the following table:
First zone, weight one pound, so miles, free
on S. 90 purchase.
Second zone, weight one pound, $50 miles, free
Third zone, weight one pound; 800 miles, free
on So. 90 purchase.
Fourth zone, weight one pound, 600 miles,
free on So. 90 purchase.
Fifth zone, weight one pound, 1000 miles, free
on So. 90 purchase. 4
Sixth zone, weight one pound, 1,4oo miles,
free on So. 90 purchase.
Seventh zone, weight one pound, !, 800 miles,
free on $500 purchase.
All purchases weighing up to II pounds, which
can be packed to conform to regulations, will be
delivered free in above zones where purchases equal
in proportion those mentioned under the single
pound rate, in other words, when sending orders to
us you can figure approximately on FREE DE-
LIVERY being based as about S per cent. on your
purchase.
To give an idea as to relative weights Of mer-
chandse in our line note the following table, in
Guiding necessary packing:
Pair of Corsets, 2o ounces. Table Cloth and
Napkins, four pounds. Half dozen Towels, three
pounds. Girls Serge Dress, five pounds. Girls
Wash Dress, two pounds. Women's Cloth Suit,
eight pounds. Women's Cloth Coat, eight pounds.
A pair of Wool Blankets, six pounds. A Down,
Wool or Cotton Comfortable, five pounds. A Lin
en- Dress, two and a half pounds. A Wool Dress,
two pounds. Six pairs Hose, one and a half
pounds. A Silk Dress, one and a half pounds.
In our organization we have sales people who
are thoroughly competent, and you can in many
instances entrust with safety to us open orders for
many things with the assurance of their being sent
promptly and to your satisfaction.
Goods shipped by Parcels Post are returnable
only when return charges are paid by purchaser.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ARE
SOWING SEED OF REVOLUTION
OPENLY IN NATION-A CLASH
WITH sERyIA Is PREDICTED

Vienna. February 1.-(speeial)-They
say In Vienna that France Danile will,
never reign as King of Montenegro-that
even the brave young Prince Mirko has
no chance as heir presumptive. The
cause is the republican agitation started
by Montenegrins who came back to the
Italians to fight in the war. They have
successfully sown the seeds of democ-
racy and the kings must go from Cot
tigne.
Prince Danile was made famous as the
hero of THE Merry Widow" According
to the most favorable accounts he Is not
much of hero in real life. He is said
to be both dissipated and dictatorial. He
is probably the most unpopular man in
Montenegro today. Everywhere the Mon
teuegrin-Americans are received with
open arms. They are preaching revolu-
ton openly crisis cannot long be
averted. Other circumstances are help
ing along the expected convulsion.
Although 1t may be questioned whether
dissensions are not being purposely sown
and those dissensions which already
exist between Servia and Montenegro
purposely exaggerated for the ultimate
benefit of a tertius gaudens. 1t would be
ideal to pretend that complete harmony
prevails between the two branches of

the Serb race. Although King Peters
late wife was Moutenegrin princess,
there are longstanding differences be-
tween the Petrovitch and the Kara
georgeeiteh dynastics and the represen-
tatives of each is popularity credited with
the belief that the other is desirous of
uniting in his person the kingship Of the
two nations. In Montenegro an outward
manifestation of this animosity was fur
nished In 1907 by the lamentable bomb
affair which led to the imprisonment
and exile of many of the progressist party
in the country. Relations between ths
two countries improved in consequence
of the annexation of Bosnia Herzegovina
and the declaration of Bulgarian inde-
pendence both of which events served
to drive the two Serb states closer to-
gether, that the Improvement was not
lasting and though an agreement was
patched up for the purpose of the war.
it requires only slight acduaintanee with
Servian officers to realize that various
incidents in the course of the last few
weeks In which both armies were con-
cerned have accentuated already existing
differences.

Bulgaria's Only Classic

From the Baltimore Sun.
l had been In Bulgaria for some months
and the sound of spoken Bulgarian had
begun to hold meaning to me here and
there.
Tell me-" I asked two English-speak-
ing friends with whom l was out walking
one day, what is that word I hear so
often, BY ganio?'"
and laughed.
''You will never know Bulgaria. said
one OF them, finally, until you know Bic
ianio. Tourists write about us that we
are boorsh and sullen and that we hate
foreigners. You should suspend Judgment
antil you have learned to speak to Bic
Ianio in his native tongue. You may
know worse tniags about us, but YOU,
may also know better"
Long afterwar1 1 learned that Pie
ianio was a book, 1.-THE Adventures Of
Bic Ganio Balxanski," by Aleko Konstan-
tiroff--the one piece of literature that is
.ruly Bulgarian, for It's author was only
simple journalist, with no pretensions
TO foreign literary culture.
The hero of the adventures is a Bull
garian peasant from Shipka who has
heard OF the wonders of the western civ
lization. After Bulgaria's liberation he
determines 10 see lOf hltlSelti Ipf lie nus
heard it said that he, too, is now an
european. He travels over the continent,
aging his way by selling altar of roses
n little bottles, which he carries in
,ag slung over his shoulder. He has
.copted European dress, but from under
ais vest peeps the red sash which sus-
lenders have not yet displaced His heavy
nustache droops over chin that Is
never quite shayen, nor 1t is ever quite
,earded, and his collarless, white shirt
is never quite white.
Bic Ganio, of course, is Bulgaria com
ng in first contact with western eiviliza-
don. From first to last the narrative OF
adventures Is bitter satire; the Incl
lents themselves are told with a frank
Rabelaisian coarseness. Invariably the
laugh is on poor ignorant Bic Ganio and
MS atrocious mistakes. though some
times the dart Of ridicule turns outward
md pricks the cultured Europeans WITH
whom Bic Ganio tries to mingle In the
asst few chapters Bic Ganio has come
home and is trying to apply what he
has learned abroad to local conditions,
not always happily.
BY itself the book is remarkable enough:
L will remain n literary classic. But a
thousand times more remarkable is the
reception accorded it by the Bulgarian
people. In Greece the author would have
been mobbed and the church would have
declared his work high treason and un-
holy. But Bulgaria received the book
IN silence, read IT, recognized itself as
the hero OF the adventures and burst into
low roar OF laughter that has never
since died down. In every household you
win find well worn copy, for over and
ever again it is read aloud by the young
people, while their illiterate elders SIT
back and chortle.
