KING Is

King Nicholas Of little Montenegro

nents. He has been Prince and poet:
King and statesman. warrior and
dramatist. musician and art con-

discovered that for real sport there
is nothing to be compared with tan
traiizing the big Powers and turn
ing topsyturvy the dignihed diplo-
matte chancellerieS Of Europe. says
the Baltimore News.
King Nicholas first tried his hand
at this in the fall OF 1912. At the
head OF his little army he one day
suddenly marched out Of his capital
and left at the Turks.
In less thai a week he lad forced
the mobilization of all the Balkan
armies. had forced a declaration Of
war from Turkey and had precipi-
lated the conflict which almost wiped
Turkey. after 500 years Of misrule. of
the face of Europe
Now, King Nicholas has just con
ceived another most tantaiizing prof.

the addiction of his throne. the effac-

Fol a century past the separate po-
Iitical existence of Montenegro has
been one of the pc projects of the
Powers. The M~Ontenegrins are of the
same Slay origin as the S~ervians
speak only the Servian language AND
are kept apart only through tn
Vaccinations of Austria. BY keeping
up this separate political existence
from Servia, Austria has hoped tt
prevent the formation Of a big Sla,
empire on her southern border, which
might not only one day be a nationa

that happened in a Metropolitan city.
A party named Smith was going
down the street one Afternoon Mr..
Conner said. when he was approached
by a beggar who looked like a cross
between a ton of misery and a comic
valentine.
Excuse me, sir" plaintively said
the beggar, Oudn you give me the
price of a small sandwich ! haven
tasted food for two days"
Smith, feeling sorry for the poor
specimen. gave him a nickel and went
on down the street. Suddenly he re-
membered that he had passed a place
where he wanted to stop. and turned
ack He was just in time to see the
beggar coming out or a saloon.

PARCEL POST EXHIBIT
PLANNED FOR OCTOBER
Proposed as a Feature OF the Ma

In connection with the convention
Of the. National Association of Post
masters of the Second and Third
Glasses. which has been authorized
to assemble in Washington October
6. z and 8 Of this year, a proposition
is on foot, it is said, which may ma
terially further the project Of market
ing by parcel post for the mutual
benefit Of Washington housekeepers
and producers in nearby States.
Correspondence indicates, it was
stated today at the department. that
the postmasters from five States at
least-Maryland. Virginia, North and
South Carolina and Delaware-may
hold a joint convention about that
time to discuss matters Of mutual in
terest. Inasmuch is the parcel post
stands foremost in the limelight Of
postal affairs at this time, an effort
is to be made to induce these post
masters to devote an afternoon or an
evening to the subject in a way that
will permit Of an interchange of in
formation between them and Wash
ingtonians, who have been using the
parcel post extensively for buying
household supplies. Postmaster Otto
Praeger, of this city, is deeply inter
ested in the outcome.
"Postmasters," he said today, "have

She advanced, Ticking her whip,
and Rita, growing, poised herself to
spring. This was the crucial moment.
Suddenly the girl heard Goldini's
voice.
Come outr' he screamed, half
opening the cage. 1T is no good!
Gomez
At that moment, just as the girls
attention was distracted, though it
was but a mOmentary waVering of
an eyeIid, Rita Ieaped. At the same
instant the other lions sprang into
the air.
Rita's tawny body flew across the
cage. But at the same moment Nero
sprang to meet her. He could not
stop the momentum of that bulk, but
he turned it. Lioness and dog rolled
in a tUssle upon the floor.
At the same instant GoIdini
screamed and slammed the door of
the cage.
The girl heard shrieks of panic
among the audience. She was con-
sciOUs of the circus employees pulling
frantically at the door of the cage.
Before her she saw the dead body of
the faithful hound, and the iOness
and lions worrying it. She retreated
toward the door. Rita sprang for her
again, but the lash of the whip
caught her across the nose, and,
sWerHng, she flung herself against
the bars. They quivered, but stood
fast, and before she could turn again
the girl had stepped backward to
safety through the open door.
She found herself lying in the cen
ter of a crowd of strangers. Her first
thought was of Nero. Then, remem-
bering, she began to weep hystericaI-
Iy. Her second was of Goldini. He
had slammed the door and left her to
die!
