SOME SURPRISE FOR

Tommy had the surprise of his life

Two officers were in the car. They
alked to the Tommy and he was soon
telling his troubles. Soon he pro-
duced picture of his best girl from
one of his innermost pockets. The
officers congratulated him on the
good looks of the girl and he finally
ventured:
Il suppose you, too, sir, carry Il
photograph of someone?" The young.
err of the two officers replied:
well, Pve got my fathers photo
about me and III give you one il
you like" He produced a golden SOW
erign and slipped il into the Tommys
hand. On the sovereign was the head

it 6S years later to the allied armies
Of the Hungarians under Hunyada

kovich. II again came into the pos
session of the Turks in l456 and for
more than 300 years it remained the
most important military station on
the road between Hungary and Con-
stantinople. In the Austro- Turkish
wars of the seventeenth and eight
eenth centuries it changed hands sew
eral times and after the Serbian re-
pulse with great slaughter in 1909 the
Turks built u tower ON human skulls
in celebration of their victory.
After the Turks were driven from
the city in 1878 it was to a certain
degree modernized, although it has
still preserved its ancient Turkish pal
ace, mosque, fountain and market
place. where, as Of old, every cos
tune of the Balkans may be seen on
market days.
Nish is only surpassed by Bel
Prade in strategic and commercial
Importance. Prior to the removal of

its sessions in Nish before the consti-
tuition of 1901 was adopted.
