Every Man a Soldier.

Every man is a soldier, for every
man carries a dagger and sometimes
gun, and he will kill a man who
differs with him without so much as
an argument, and added to this he
feels that everything belonging to the
man he has killed is now his prop
erty, and woe be to the man who re-
sists him In what he considers his
rightful inheritance. There are no
"snlpers" in Albania, and when these
men kill invaders they do it in the
open. They also have q fierce sort Of
chivalry-that is. they will not harm
a woman. They refuse to modest her
because they think she is weak-con-

ancient Illyria and all of ancient
