HONOR DUE MONTENEGRO

Rome, Jan 20, 6:30 D. m. (delayedi , The Italian newspapers show a dis position to put full credence in the declarations regarding the new atti- tude of Montenegro. The Corriere DItalia says that the allies must be prepared to accept the responsibility for the grave consequences that would ensue if the little kingdom should now fare badly, and in any case they must accept the responsibility for the new problem which arises in Albania. To Montenegro, adds the newspaper, honor is due, while the allies owe re- paratiOn for mum erous errors.

ARMY OFFICERS WARNED
Not to Discuss Issues Raised in Strikes
 or Riots.

Washington, Jan. 22. Federal army officers commanding troops wherever strikes or riots may occur are warned by instructions announced today at the war department against participating in questions of a po1iti- cal character or the equity of disput- ed issues existing between the parties to controversy.
 In announcing this policy, the de- partment indirectly replies to criti- cism by labor organizations and off, cials against the conduct and manage ment of soldiers doing duty in riot or strike zones. The orders, however, do not apply to regular army officers holding commissions in the organized militia, they being guided by state laws and regulations on the subject.

Nebraska's State Fair.

The Bee this morning gives considerable
space to the Lincoln and the Nebraska State
fair, which opens its annual exposition on Mon
day next The State fair has long since passed
the mere exhibition stage, and has become real
exposition, at which the best of all that is con-
nected directly or indirectly with the agricultural
industry is placed on display under such condi-
tons as not only show its merits and advantages
but give opportunity for critical and technical
comparison. Results as well as methods and means
are thus contrasted, and the careful investigator
hnds that display is more than ever educational
in its every aspect In this way the fair is
serving the end for which it was instituted The
management, realizing its obligation, has wisely
provided for entertainment and amusement as well
as education, and the pleasure seeker will find
much to meet his desires on the grounds The
Nebraska fair has steadily increased in Importance
and scope year after year, still it has reached
point commensurate with the greatness of the
state. As it has grown, so have the people come
to realize its value, and the support it has had has
been encouragingly liberal. The outlook for the
present year is for greater display in all depart
ments that ever before, and the experts prophesy
new mark in State fair history.

TEARS, IDLE TEARS.

Alfred Tennyson.
Tears, idle tears. know not what they
mean,
Tears from the depth of some divine de-
spair
Rise in the heart and gather to the eyes.
In looking on the happy autumn fields,
And thinking Of the days that are no more.
Fresh as the first beam glittering on Q sail,
That brings our friends up from the under.
world,
Sad as the last which reddens over one
That sinks with all we love below the
verge;
So sad. so fresh the days that are no more.
All. sad and strange as in dark summer
dawns
The earliest pipe Of half-awakened birds
To dying ears, when unto dying eyes
The easement slowly grows a glimmering
square;
So sad, so strange, the days that are no
more
Dear as remembered kisses after death,
And sweet as those by hopeless fancy
feigned
On lips that are for others; deep a. love,
Deep as first love. and wild with all regret:
o death in life. the days that are no more.
