Clever Ruse of King Peter
From the Boston Transcrint

L rom the Boston transcript.
King Peter of Servia took part as an
officer of the foreign legion in the
Franco-German war of 1870, and many
anecdotes have already been related
of him. A new one is now published
through letter of Captain Bonet, who
was himself killed during the war. He,
however. had time to write to his broth
er about Prince Karageorgevitch, who
had been his comrade at Saint Cyr
Ihe letter was kept among the family
papers, and has only now seen the light
of publicity. 1t was written on october
29, 1870, and said Just think I met
again an old chum of mine of Saint
Cyr--Prince Karageorgevitch of Ser
via. who is an officer of the foreign
legion, and conducted himself valiant
ly on October IL al orleans. Caught in
trap In the f'aubourg' of BANNER. he
disguised himself as miller and pre-
tended to be drunk. He was stopped
by a Bavarian sergeant. but was set at
liberty. He crossed the Loire at a
ford and reached us on the morning
of October IL in his ridiculous disguise.
Which, however, saved his life. He had
lost everything, but he was more hon
orable to look at in this disguise than
a general covered with decorations. We
gave him most cordial welcome His
nephew, Nicholaievitch, after fighting
like lion, fell with five bullets in his

NEW TREATMENT
FOR PNEUMONIA

New York, April 1s.-A new method
of treatment aimed to cure pneumonia,
Is under experiment at tho Rockefeller
Institute, It was announced today by DR..
Clarence A. McWilllams a physician who
has worked in collaboration with tho
medical Investigators at the institute.
The announcement OF positive cure
is not yet warranted, DR.. McWilliamS
said. but Improvement In pneumonia cases
under the new treatment has been noted.
Patients who have been inoculated with
a serum prepared In manner different
from that attending the discovery of
other serums are under observation at
the institute. According to Dr. McWil-
liams, announcement of the success or
failure of the method may be expected
two to six months hence.
The origin of the new serum is based
on theory that the bacillus that causes
the disease is in two strains, both of
which might not be found in the same
patient, and that specific cure for each
must be found. Two sets of horses were
inoculated with the separate strains and
two serums obtained. With these serums
two sets of mice were inoculated, while
at the same time sputum from the pa
tient was also injected into the mice.
Through this method the physicians, ac-
cording to DIR. McWilliams' description
OF the Investigators efforts, were in a
position to determine which strain of the
bacillus had afflicted the patient, who
was then noculated with the serum af-
fecting that particular strain.
The development of the antitoxin is
declared to be the result of two years
of research centered upon a study of
the organism causing pneumonia.

had given to the war minister and that
the latter had instituted an investiga-
ton which substantially proved his
charges.
General Won Heeringen. the minister
of war, expressed regret that Herr
Liebknecht had mentioned the matter
in the reichstag because, he said, his
investigation into the matter had not
been finished
He said he had found the charges
much exaggerated. A number of SER

by the Krupps agent to give official

But something he said the other night
surprised me more than ordinarily:
Il never worry" he said. ITS only the
educated man that worries. The unedu-
Gated man doesn't know enough to
worry
That was startling 1 pressed him for
explanation.
why. yes he assured me, 1.-THE edu-
Gated man sees too much. He sees every
thing that might happen and gets scared.
He thinks the chances against him are
too big, so he gives up. The uneducated
man doesn't see these things that might
happen, and while the other man is fig
uring 1t out he goes In and gets it done.'
That reminded me of one of my ia
theirs stories which l forthwith told. 1t
was about a general who wanted a bridge
built in a hurry. Before he saw the prop
er engineering officer he happened upon
the regiments handy man." who al
ways knew how to do the right thing
quick. The general told him the bridge
must be built. and built in hurry.
"I'll see the engineer" he added, "and
he will senG you the necessary blue
prints"
The next day the general met the ham
dy man again
"Oh. the bridge is built, sir" the man
replied, but l haven't got the pictures
yet
