GREETING THE WRONG MAN
Gases of Mistaken Identity That Have
Been Chronicled by

According to this collector. says the
New York Sun, there's Brooklyn
clergyman who went over to Newark
to fill pulpit one Sunday and greeted
three men as the pastor of the church
he was to preach in before he shook
hands with the right man. One or two
deacons and other members were wait
ing for him in the vestibule when he
arrived
He thought he knew a minister
when he saw one. so he put out his
hand with Glad to meet you doc
tor" only to find it wasn't the pastor.
Then he looked from one to the other
and stretched out a hand to the sec
ond man, scoring another mistake.
Finally, inside the church on the way
to the pulpit he was sure the minis.

toward him was the pastor, and so he
greeted him that way. But it was a

THE UNHITCHED
 HORSE

Here is a quotation from an advertising magazine that is well worth remembering:
 "The average man looks on advertising as mysterious something quite apart from ordinary business, says an ob- servant exchange. You bet he does, and that's right where he makes his first big mis- take. Advertising Is not something apart from the husiness, save as the horse is separate from the cart-when unhitched the cart is at . standstilI."
 When they come to choosing the right horse merchants and manufacturers find that news paper advertising is the most active steed in the stable and costs less for Hpkeep.

with a population OF fifty millions and a fight
ing force OF about one million men, has at
tackled Seryia, an ancient but small inland
kingdom in the Balkan Peninsula, with a po-
pulution of three million and an army of two
hundred thousand men. Why does a CON

plunge all Europe into one Of the most terri

der the political and racial factors which
have been instrumental in milking that histo-

briefly these factors under their national and
geographical divisions.
SERNIA.
The racial history of the Servians or Serbs
in the b llkan Peninsula can be traced for
fifteen hundred years. The Serbs are of
Slavic stock, and are thus racially related to
millions Of the population of Russia. The
Serbs or ServIans and the Bulgariaus each
established great empires in the Balkan Pen
insula in the Middle Ages. In the fourteenth
aud fifteenth centuries the Ottomnns or Turks
sWArming towards Europe from western Asia,
overwhelmed and conquered both the Serbs
and the Bulgarians. The Turks even con-
quered Hungary and besieGed Vienna. They
were, however, finally repulsed from Vienna,
and the aid which the Servians gave to the
defense of Vieuna-a defense which prevent
cd the Ottomans from occupying and ravag-
ing central Europe-wns very great. 1T
