Is said that the desire of Roumania

signed a personal treaty with the
Kaiser pledging the support of Rou-
mania in case of war. But the people
and statesmen of the kingdom would
hear of no such alliance, and cast
their lot with the Allies. It was only
because of the treachery of h for

mania vas forced to suffer h a
plight in which she now finds herself.
The Roumanians have a great senti-

Famous Women
Lady Miller of Batheaston.

Lady Miller of Batheaston, was a
literary amateur who lived in the
eighteenth century. She was a woman
of considerable talent and of q very
emotional nature. In company with
her husband she made a tour of Italy,
and on returning brought with her an
antique vase. This was set up as a
shrine in their literary salon, and
formally dedicated to Apollo, Lady
Mailer assuming the office of high
priestess. A general invitation was
issued to all votaries of fashion to
attend the weekly ceremonies of wor-
ship. This was carried on by each
candidate for fame by dropping a vo-
tive Offering in the form OF poetry
into the urn. These were carried
around in solemn procession and f.
nally read aloud, the high priestess
placing a wreath upon the heads of
those who had written the -four best
poems. These meetings continued for
several years util someone desecrated
the sacred urn by placing IN IL a piece
of poetry which made all the ladies
blush when it wal read aloud. The
urn was closed after this and the
meetings suspended forever. Lady
Miller died in June. 1871.

tons was decidedly something else.
On the side of the huns. a domi-

remaining power on this te~rraqueous
sphere, which we'd daily tread in
dread If they did.
However, the morsel not only has
proved unpleasant to the Prussian
palate but it's stuck in kultur's glut-
tonous throat and is slowly choking
the monster to death.
The bond that grappled together
the allies and in which they've since
grappled together with the Menace
