Queer Prisensrs.

In the seventies Of the last century
life in Montenegro was not complex.
A traveller relates: "At that time the
adult male population was away nght,
ing. and at times there was no one to
spare to guard the inmates Of the pris-
on when out for exercise. One Of them
would then be given the ride and take
over the duty. Prisoners also were
sent with messages. One went down
to Cattaro. in Austrian territory. with
5000 norins for the banker there. and
faithfully delivered the money and was
back in prison at night. Another Mon
tenegrin begged a Russian In Cattaro
to intercede for his release from pris-
on. "But you are not In prison" said
the Russian. "Oh. yes, ! am. ] have
only come here for load Of skins and
must 60 back"

There was a shoal Of some dozen al

then drop back Again until they were

Washington, D. C.-When FORM
er Presidents Roosevelt and Taft
were in the White House they
educated the American people to
expect them to ssget around and
call" every year or two. Both
men-and especially Mr.. TAFT
had fondness for making ssswings
around the circle" The advisers
OF President Wilson have been
trying for more than a year to get
him to 60 to Panama, and now
they insist that he should to Alaska,
or At the very least make a trip
across the country to meet the
millions Of "original Wilson men," :"
and the rest of the voters, and
explain face to face the accomp-
lishments of the administration.
The President may decide to make
a trip during the summer and fall,
but it is safe to say that it will not
be because of his personal inclina-
ton, inasmuch as it has been very
clearly pointed out that he prefers
the comforts of the White House,
and likes nothing better than to
remain there and stick 10 his job.
While leading democrats of the
house, including the "big three
Speaker Clark, Leader Underwood
and Representative Kitchen, have
expressed negative disapproval Of
the position of President Wilson
in reversing the Baltimore plat
form in reference to canal tolls; the
White House has taken careful
note of the divided conditions
among democrats in the house,
with the result that it is said that
Mr.. Wilson will pull tighter rein
in forcing his position than he has
heretofore assumed in reference to
previous matters. And SO the
country may be shown whether
the democratic platform or the
president of the United States is
the real master of the job.
For almost year there has been
placid harmony among republican
and progressive members Of con-
gress, and the mathematicians Of
the two parties have it figured out
that there are sixty-seven demo-
Gratis in the house who were elected
by minority vote in November,
1914, coming from districts normal
ly republican. The discovery has
been made that If the republicans
and progressives can keep out oi
each others hair that they have a
fighting chance in seventy-foul
E congressional districts, and if they
could win all these they would
have control Of the house. While
Colonel Roosevelt is in South
America the gentlemen in Wash
] ington are trying to figure thi:
thing out.
