You are speaking more especially now of the

sire, / have noticed that Montene-
gro has no exports" once remarked az
distinguished foreign traveller tor King
Nicholas.
Monsieur, you forget my daughters,
wittily retorted the reigning monarch.
The retort was justified, for queer
little Montenegro has supplied two
monarchs and three other important
royal personages with wives One
Montenegrin princess is the present
queen OF Italy, and another now would
be queen of Servia but for her prema-
ture death, while three other daugh-
tiers Of Prince Nicholas are the Grand
Duchess Militia of Russia, the Duchess
Anastasia of Leuchtenberg and Prin-
cess Anna Of Battenberg.
The number Of brides that Montene-
gro has supplied to the courts of Eu-
rope Is altogether dispropOrtionate to
the size and Importance of the little
country Montenegro has an area OF
$500 square miles and population OF
q quarter of a million. The capital,
Cetinje, is q village with a population
Of 5000. The princely palace in which
so many distinguished royal brides
were born and brought up is modest
structure, in which a moderately sue
cessful American tradesman would
never condescend to dwell.
But in these modest surroundings the
princesses Of Montenegro grew up to
be splendid specimens Of womanhood.
AS children they enjoyed the greatest
liberty and escaped the restraints of
court etiquette, which are the curse Of
most royal boys and girls. In the
severe winters which are experienced
in the country of the black hills, as
Montenegro Is called In the Balkans,
the princesses were encouraged to har-
den their constitutions by sleighing,
running in snowshoes, skating and In
dulging In other cold weather sports
and pastimes. At the warmer seasons
Of the year they made long excursions
into the wooded and mountainous in
terror and paid frequent visits to the
princes villa ON the shores Of the
Adriatic sea. By the time they were
In their teens they could ride q bare
back horse, drive a four-in-hand, hunt
and shoot, swim and sail or row q boat
to perfection.
While thus enjoying childhood to the
full, the royal girls were educated by
French and German tutors and govern
esses, who polished Off the roughness
which might otherwise have become
apparent In their characters. Prince
Nicholas allowed each OF his daughters
to run wild in Montenegro until six
teen years Of age, after which the
Processes were sent to Vienna and
Paris to gain knowledge Of the west
ern world, with its totally different
manners and customs. After attaining
her seventeenth birthday each princess
spent six months Of the year abroad
and six months in Montenegro, and this
plan proved to be an effective conclu-
sion to an excellent scheme of esiuca-
ton. The Montenegro princesses de-
veloped from tomboy girls into women
or unusual grace and beauty, of excep-
tional personal distinction and OF re-
markable talent In many directions

1t Was Her Bad Day.
1t was a bad day for Mrs. Kate
Hoffman. The county attorney had
just obtained an order of the dis
trict court laying permanent in
certain pieces of property of which
Mrs. Hoffman is owner. Under that
injunction she becomes liable TO pun
ishment no matter who may sell the
liquor. The enforcement of such an
order by the court threatens Mrs
Heitmans peace of mind more than
any single thing that has happened
in her vicinity in long time, and
there is usually something going on
in Mrs. Heitman's neighborhood. She
has a good deal of law business

Despite the troubled nature of her
career, the world has prospered Mrs.
Kate Hoffman. Out of her toiling and
moiling in the lower part OF Kansas
avenue she has saved enough to pur-
chase some residential property on
ostentatiouS, is remunerative. She
has built houses on both rear and
front ends of the lots and they rent
almost equally well. Mrs. Hoffman
appeared to have the proper recipe
for coaxing things her way until
County Attorney Atchison came along
with his injunction.
After she had finished her unsatis-
factory interview at the court house,
Mrs Hoffman went to the city hall and
had an equally unsatisfactory CONFER
ence with Mayor Jay E. House. Sew
eral locks have been broken on the
doors of Mrs. Heitman's tenant houses
by Chief Harvey Parsons policemen.
They have walked right in, using a
crowbar for a key when they found
the doors barred. Locks cost money
and frequent raids make tenants ir-
regular about their rent. Mrs. Heit-
man was plaintive. They were touch
ing her in a vulnerable spot, her bank
