history Of the Black mountain people,
who today. defying greater powers
than the Turk, are facing the menace
of national extinction and oblivion.
The primer continues:
"The Montenegrinp. as a people.
were born OF the fierce struggles that
preceded Turkish mastery OF the Bal
kans. In the middle ages. Montene-
gro belonged to the Serbian kingdom.
Over the battlefield OF Kossovo

his mountaineers about him. togeth-

fled from the plains. and began the
centuries-long, deadly drama OF the
Observation-Disclosures feud. one of the
longest. most bitter and relentless
feuds OF history.
Invasion In Vain.
Wave after wave of Ottoman in
vasion dashed It's force In vain against
the inaccessible Black mountain
country. and. between the times Of
Turkish efforts at conquest. upon the
least or no provocation at all. the
Montenegrins sought the Turk in his
own country. carrying death and de-
struction to the plains. BY 1916, the
Montenegrins found themselves shut
fast within their mountains. Their
last secular prince gave up his Office
In 1916. leaving the country under
the leadership Of It's bishop.
"The Porte continued to claim the
land, and. after generations OF loss
and endeavor. conquered It temper
arily in 1914. The Turks had no
sooner clambered down the mountain
sides. than the Montenegrins re-as-
serted their independence. They OBJ
tanned the support OF Russia, the con-
ditions being an annual subsidy from
the Tsar and
Continual harrassnlent
OF the Turks by the Monetenegrins.
Both sides have kept their agreement
with steady faith ever since; for the

in his financial help and the Monte

What a Cent Will Do.
Miss s. Campbell of Toront

Miss s. Campbell of Toronto
says:
"On this side of the Atlantic in
Canada cent as near as possible
equals in value a halfpenny, and
very rarely do we see cents or cop
per coins put in plate for offer
ings. it is nearly -always-even
from the poorest-s silver coin, q
tive-cent piece, But there is GER
tain 7. W.. g A. over here which
has recently begun to support a
little Indian boy, each member
giving cent week.
"At a very poor little mission we
pleaded for the dear little brown
eyed babies of India, and amongst
other gifts ten-cent piece was
shyly offered by a bright-faced
woman whose clothes and attenu-
ted features bespoke clean and
careful poverty of the sorest kind.
One hesitated to accept, knowing
instinctively the self-denial the
gift represented. She understood
the hesitation Fand whispered,
Nothing is too good to give Him,

that it was Il modern widows mite

THINK THIS OVER.

When a newspaper gives you a
lot of free advertising to boom
some concert or free entertainment
in which you are interested, keep
track of the lines that are printed
week by week and multiply that
number by the regular advertising
rates of the paper. Compare the
results with the actual money val
ne of any favor that you get from
any other business concern. Then
take into consideration the fact
that advertising aud circulation are
the only two things that news
paper has to sell. Now, in these
days of higher prices, how much
do you think it ought to give away?

HEATHER IGNORANCE.

Rev. Fl. X. Wright, Ningpo
China, gives this striking illustra
ton of heather ignorance anG
cruelty:
"The people all through the re.
gion of our sphere of influence
were hard hit by the drought and
spent lot of time and money in
worship of the dragon king, who
has the rain in charge. Also a
number of children sickened and
some of them died about the time
that a school census was being
taken; the report was spread a.
broad that the names of the chill
dren were being sold to the firm
that is building the Dzao-ngo
bridge for the railroad at Pah-twun
to be used to strengthen the piers;
the theory being that when the
paper with child's name was
built into the bridge the pressure
caused the death of the child, The
result was widespread rioting, de-
struction of school property and
beating of those concerned with
the work Of the taking. One
or two of our schools had narrow
escape, but we were fortunate
enough to come out unscathed, a
tribute to the regard in which our
schools are held"

REVOLVERS.

A revolver is nickle-plated sub
stitute for bravery, which has prac-
tlcally driven the original article
out of the market. The revolver
gives a puny man with 5-S-inch
brain and the pluck of a grasshop-
per a l0O-yard reach and makes
him more deadly than Sioux In
dian. There was time when this
country had no dangerous animals
except bears and wolves, and life
was safe, except on the frontiers,
but now vast hordes of 16-year-old
boys who use their skulls for a
dime novel bookcase, roam the
streets with cigarettes in their face
and portable cannon in their hip
pockets, producing obituaries
with the skill and enthusiasm of a
cholera microbe; while it is at all
times possible to meet a personal
enemy who has been chasing you
for week, and who is reluctantly
compelled to defend himself when
he catches you by filing you So
frll of lead that your remains will
require eight pall-bearers. Revol-
vers are now SO generally used in
debate, in domestic quarrels and
repartee of all sorts that 5000
Americans die of them each year,
it is said Mitchell, s. D. Ga
zette.

SEASONED WITH SALT.

'"Billy" Sunday, the base bal
revivalist, has transferred his fielC
of operations from Pennsylvania
to New Jersey. Mr.. Sundays pic.
turesque phraseology adds greatly
to the interest of his recent SER
mons. Here are a few typical say
ings accredited to him:
Better limp all the way to heaven
than not get there at all.
You never hear of a man marry
ing woman to reform her.
The devil hates the Church, but
he likes the work some high-brows
do in it.
Some of the biggest rooms in
hell will be crowded full of church
members.
Sin is rattlesnake and not a
cream-puff.
You put society first. If you
put God at all he has to come tag
ging after some beer, wine. or
champaign-soaked society leader
and God has to play second fiddle
and be trailer to ever jack-rabbit
proposition that comes along.
Some of the worst devils in the
world have their names on the
church records.
Of all the contemplate people
on earth l believe the worst are
the weasel-eyed, lantern-jawe
hatchet-faced, grim visaged, knock
ed-kneed, hammered-down gossip
ers.
Do you know that an angel in
heaven couldn't come down and
mix with the people you meet
every day and then go back to
heaven without being fumigated
and cleaned with carbolic acid,
formaldehyde and lye.
Some people are so stingy that
they sing through their nose to
save their false teeth; they sing
Ninety and Nine" instead of
Zone Hundred" SO as to save the

AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Boy Scout Pictura.

How a chronic disbeliever was fn- ally won over to the Boy Scout move ment was told in a five reel picture, The Adventures of Scout, shown at the Auditorium theatre on Tuesday, for the benefit of Norwich council of Boy Scouts. The theatre was crowd ed on the main floor at the evening performances and the reserved seats In the gallery were well filled.
 The picture throughout demonstrated very forczb1y the true value of the Scouts training. The making of fire without matches, erection of tents, scaltng a 18 foot wall, wig -wagging, the use of the wireless telegraph, ap- pliance of first aid, the making of stretchers, protection of property and kindness to animals all entered into the story. Tho heroism of the Scouts and the results of their work at last convinced the disbeliever and he be- came 50 enthused over the move ment that he presented the Boy Scouts handsome clubhouse. A number of the local Boy Scouts were among the audience.
 Snobs. a society drama overflowing with genuine humor, convulsed the good sized houses at the Auditorium theatre on Monday and Tuesday af- ternoons.
 The other films on the bill were The Stranger and a comedy, When Schultz Led the Orchestra.

On Tuesday the two newly elected members of the board of assessors, Frank H. Woodworth and Albie L.. Hale, were found at the office of the assessors at the town hall engaged with Michael J. Curran, the former member who holds over, in receiving lists and getting acquainted with some of the duties and routine of the office in which MT Curran was well fitted to instruct them. His long service as clerk of the board has made him thor oughly familiar with each detail of the work.
 The new board has not organized yet, but is expected to do so soon. electing a chairman and a clerk. The two new assessors took the oath of office before Town Clerk Charles S. Holbrook. The month of October is the time for the assessors to be in session to receive lists and in tha- time all the property owners will ap- pear before them to swear to the val uation of their property for taxable purposes. Some of the prompt ones have already put in their lists, but the greater part have yet to come. This year is different from former years in the case of non-residents. inasmuch as they have to put in their own list
