lonika put an unexpected obstacle in
the way of Austria's march to the
south. No more could the dual mon
archy hope to inherit Salonika and
the land between that port and the
frontier Of Bosnia on the final down
fall of Turkey; Servia was now
squarely across her path
So the Balkan wars left the Servi-
ans confident of their military ability,
elated by victory, determined on COM
plete national unity, and angered by
Austria's continued hold on the north
ern part of the nation and by her &C.
ton in depriving the nation of an out
let to the sea. These wars left Austria
Hungary with increased difficulties in
dealing with the Slav tribes, particu-
larly the Servians, now in her domin-
ions, and convinced that the march to
the southwark must be given up alto
gether unless Servia could be put out
Of the way.
To this were added minor irrita-
tons, such as the railroad question in
Macedonia. The Servians wanted to
add the railroads in the territory con-
Quered from Turkey to the state sys-
tenn, but the stockholders, most Of
whom were Austrians or Hungarians,
objected. Moreover, there was con-
slant friction in Bosnia, and the party
in Servia which regretted the break
up of the Balkan league was inclined
to attribute the discord between Bull
garia and her former allies to the op-
erations of Austrian diplomacy.

people came to shake hands with him.
aAfter he had shaken hands with every
one of the thousand there was a let
up and the new senator stepped to the
window for breath Of air. Outside
in the street he saw 1000 people more
people waiting to be admitted.
He was in despair. He flew from
the window saying, by heck" a
very strong expression indeed. Then
suddenly he laid hold of the young
man who had managed his campaign
and who was now installed as his Sec
rotary. He marched that young man
into the middle of the reception room.
Stand right here, George he said.
Then he went to his desk, on which
stood vase of roses and writing ma
terials. With eager hands he snatched
a sheet of paper and scrawled some
thing upon 1t in large letters. He
pinned the sheet Of paper upon the
lapel Of his secretary's Immaculate

While the immediate cause of Aus
tr1a-Hungarys attack on Servia is the
demand for PREPARATION for the murder
OF the Archduke Francis Ferdinand
and his wife, the duchess Of Hohen-

movement of the Hapsburg empire
toward the south and the desperate
efforts of the entire Serb race to re-
gain complete national existence.
Ever since the repulse of the Turk
1sh army from Vienna in 1883 the Aus
TRANS have steadily fought their way

make their way to the Aegean over
the ruins Of the Turkish empire. Aus

thirteenth and fourteenth centuries

the western half of the Balkan PENN

VOTED in 1868, aiming at complete
freedom With them joined their
kinsmen of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Russo-Turkish war, which fol-
lowed, made great changes in the Bal
kans. Servia proper obtained COM
plete independence, but Bosnia and
Herzegovina were left nominal Turk
ish dependencies, but really to be oc-
cupied by Austrian troops.
Austria's Seizure of Bosnia.
The consequence Of this was four
year instruction against the Austri-
ans, the effects of which have never
disappeared. The Austrians have
spent large amounts of money on the
country, but never allowed it auton-
omy; and in 1908-9, using as an ex-
/cuse the constitutional revolution in
Turkey, which Would require dele
gates to the Turkish parliament to
come from these two states, which
we're actually in Austrian hands, the
Hapsburg monarchy formally annexed
Bosnia and Herzegovina. Germany
backed up her ally, and the protests
of the Slav powers did not go to the
extent Of war. Meanwhile the Slavs
of DaImatia are under Hungarian
rule; and here, as in Bosnia and Her
zegovirla, promises of local self-gov-
eminent have never come to anything
more than words. Thus the northern
half of the Servian race is still under
the Austrian empire.
Meanwhile the southern half was
finally united by the victories over
Turkey in the war of 1912. Not only
did this reconquest by the Servians
Of the core OF their old empire in
western Macedonia give tremendous
impulse to the longing for complete
national unity; it showed the Servian
nation that its military organization
could be relied on for hard work.
In the fall of 1912 the Servians mob
ilfzed 100000 men in the first three
weeks, and later added $4,000 more
TO the number; and while their losses
in this war and in the struggle with
Bulgaria in the summer of 1913 were
heavy. the Servian troops fought bril-
liantly and proved themselves efficient
and enduring.

10, 1903, forty army officers entered
the palace, burst into the apartments
of the king and queen and killed them.
Details of the tragedy vary, but the
best authenticated is that the couple
died in each others arms The same
night several ministers were slain by
the plotters. The total number of vic
Tins of the conspiracy is said to have
been ifty-four.
At the time of the tragedy King Pc
ter was in Geneva, living a secluded
life, and, apparently, taking little in
terest in the politics of his native
land. Ever since the terrible night
of the assassinations he has denied
that he had any foreknowledge of
them. Nevertheless, suspicion has con-
tinued, justly or unjustly, to rest upon
him, and it was some years after his
accession to the throne before Great
Britain and other powers recognized
him formally as king of Servia.
King Peter as young man led an
adventurous life. He studied in Swift
erland and then went to the French
Military academy at st. Cyr He took
part in the Franco-German war as an
officer of the Foreign legion.
For many years he is said to have
engaged in conspiracies against King
Milan of Servia, but for forty-fve
years he never set foot on Servian sojt
until he was elected king by the Serv-
ian parliament.

Architectural Beauty Secured
Without Going to Extremes
for Effect.
EVERYTHING IN GOOD TASTE
Many Pleasing Features Which Give
Building a Homaiike Yet DIstinc-
tive MISUNDERSTANDING Color
Combinations That Might
Be Employed.
BY WILLIAM A. RApFoRp.

Mr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building. for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
is, without doubt. the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to William A. Radford, No. 1927 Prairie

A residence should not be too plain
and unornamented in it's appearance;
yet at the same time there is no need
of going to extravagantt lengths in the
pursuit of architectural beauty.
Many try so hard in their desire
for an artistic home and in their alb
horrence of the plain, box-like houses
that the designs they finally work out
and follow in building remind one of
q Chinese pagoda, or of a pavilion at
the county fair.
1t is a good thing to look after the
artistic in house designs, but always
with moderation.
The little house illustrated in the
accompanying perspective sketch and
floor plans is OF very attractive de.
sign that is very popular. In this
house there are a number of very
pleasing features which give the build
ing distinctive appearance; yet these
are in good taste and the dwelling
has sensible, homelike appearance.
With good brick or solid concrete
foundation, the first story of this
house is covered with clapboards,
while the second story is finished with
cement plaster stucco, divided into
panels in the English half-timber style.
The second story also projects slight
ly beyond the line of the first, in that
way keeping true to the English Eliz-
abethan models.
With the woodwork painted soft
brown and with the stucco panels a
yellowish tint, an exceptionally at
tractive appearance is secured. There
are number of other artistic color
combinations that suggest themselves

for this house. All of them are on
the dark order, in shades of green,
brown and red. The white, pale vel
low and French gray paints that have
been so popular for the finishing of
colonial houses are not best to use
with design such as this.
A glance at the floor plans will
show the interior of this house ar
ranged conveniently, with good light
and air in every room. The first floor
has large living room ID by 16 feet
in size, a dining room Ii by Ii feet

Second Floor Plan.

No one who has any appreciation Of
convenience or economy would think
of building new house of this kind
and not provide a central heating
plant, not relying on stoves for heat.
These have shown themselves to be
not only costly and inefficient. but
dangerous as we'll With good
waterproof cemented basement, as
called for in the plans of this house, a
very satisfactory heating plant can
easily be installed.

There is also pantry of generous
dimensions, conveniently located with
respect to both kitchen and dining
room. Two closets are also provided
on the first floor. Upstairs there are
three comfortable bedrooms. Two OF
these seem to be somewhat cut up
owing to the way the roof is formed;
yet these extra spaces are by no
means disadvantageous. The small
balcony over the front porch and
opening from the large dormer win
dow is q feature that is both orna-
mental and useful.
The cost of this comfortable dwell
ing is estimated at $4,000. This would
