conditions on Which Serbia Can Take
Part In the Peace Conference.
Paris. Jan. 17.-Serbia cannot take
part in the peace conference unless
represented in a delegation from the
combined Serbo-Croatian-Slov state
the Jugo-Slav committee here de-
clares in protest issued against the
decision OF the supreme council TO ad-
init delegates from the kingdom OF
Serbia but not of the United Kingdom
OF the Serbians, Croats and Slovenes.
The committee declares this action
threatens to provoke a conflict which
might have serius consequences and
the refusal to accept the delegates OF
the united states would make it i'm
possible for Serbia herself to partici-
pate in the conference. The protest
concludes by saying the council in ar
irving at its decision did not take into
account the new situation in Serbia
and thus will be obliged to examine
into the question anew.

KEEP A HOUSEHOLD BUDGET
Practically Impossible to Run Home
Without Employment of Good
Business Methods.

1t must be admitted that business
system is desirable in the home, for
the very good and simple reason that,
manifestly you cannot carry on sue
cessfully any kind of business without
more or less bookkeeping, writes Carl
Marshall in Thrift. But often you will
hear some easy-going housekeeper say {:
''That's too much trouble; I have
enough other things to do without
bothering with accounts. Besides,
what's the use? 1t costs you just so
much to live anyway, and keeping ac-
counts won't make the amount any
less"
Lazy or inefficient folk are seldom at
a loss for self-justifcatiOn Of this sort
Some of US can remember the old
fashioned country storekeeper who
| used to spend most of his time sitting
on a box whiting or gossiping with
the loafers when he should have been
studying his business. This cheerful
soul held the same views as the slack
| housekeeper.
But we do not see much more OF
this old-fashioned, happy-go-lucky
country merchant. He has long age
been put out of business by his enter
prising competitor who learned the
value of good bookkeeping.
The answer to those who would
shirk home account-keeping is simpl!
this: You cannot plan your affairs will
any certainty unless you know abou
them, and you cannot know about then
unless you keep records of them.

Pet Wife of Congo Chief Put to Death
When Fickle Lord Tires of
Her Charms.

An African chief may possess 1000
wives, but the chief who has two pet
wives at the same time or keeps any
to be found.
To be the pet wife of the chief, to
know that one is pointed out by the
entire village as a beauty and the
honOred one, sounds rather alluring,
but to know that one may lose ones
head when more attractive success
or appears is sufficient cause for hesi-
tation on the part of the bride when
the chief comes a-wooing.
Jewelry that is worn by the pet of
! Congo chief is interesting. A neck
piece of beaten and carved brass, per-
haps two and one-half inches thick,
| eight inches in diameter and weighing
% pounds, is shaped like the letter
| G. After this ornament is placed
about the neck of the chiefs pet she
lies down with her head on rock and
the ends are closed with heavy ham

accompany the neckpiece, SO that she
daily carries about with her from sc
70 so pounds of jewelry.
As she walks about the village she
is the center of attraction. She may
hold this enviable position for five ol
six years, or at least until the chiet
may choose another beauty. When

MERELY RED CLOTH TO HIM
Fact That 1t Was Cut From country's
Flag Meant Nothing to Ger
man Merchant.

1t is a known fact that the average
German will forget religion, civil
laws, and even his patriotism, if they
interfere with his chances to drive
home a good bargain. The latest dis
play of this tendency came during the
preparations for the victory ball, which
was given the Fourth of July in the
Enlisted Mems club at Andernach. As
no Fourth of July ball would be COM
plete without ''Uncle Sam,' several
'Y" girls set out to prepare cos
tune for the revered character. When
it came to purchasing the red cloth
for the stripes in the trousers, how
ever, it seemed that their plans had
gone amiss. Nowhere in Andernacll
could a sufficient quantity of the right
colored material be purchased. Final
Iy one German merchant announced
that, he had just what they wanted.
Out of a closet at the rear of his shop
he dug a large German flag. Quickly
he cut all the red cloth from it, and
sold the material to the girls with the
air of one who had just accomplished
a noble deed.-From the Watch on the
Rhine.

Great American Traqedienne.

One of the greatest tragediennes of
the last century, Charlotte Saunders
Cushman, died in Boston nearly half
a century ago, leaving behind her one
of the most inspiring and splendid
memories in all the history of the
stage. Miss Cushman was born in
Boston July %, 1916. Her early am
bition was musical, and she was just
at the beginning of a successful oper-
attic career when her voice failed. Her
loss to music was gain to the drama.
She first appeared as Lady Macbeth in
New Orleans, and soon gained rank in
England and America as the foremost
actress of the English-speaking world.
Forty-fve years ago the great actress
began her farewell tour of America,
and on a day in May, 1875 an audi
ence that filed the Globe theater in
Boston saw Charlotte Cushman's last
appearance on the stage. She died in
less than a year afterward.

orIoin of Drinking Pledges.

Pledging each other in wine was in
reality nothing more than the survival
of the once universal custom of parties
drinking together in ratification of a
bargain. 1t is in this sense that some
Jewish and Russian couples drink
wine at their betrOthal ceremonies.
The Hebrew, after drinking, dashes
the vessel to the ground, in memory
of the destruction of the Temple
whereas the Russian tramples the
glass beneath his feet, with the pious
wish: "May they thus fall under foot
and be trodden to pieces who shall en-
deavor to SOW dissension and discord
between u.s."

Dancing in Haiti.

Dancing to the music of a drum,
saXophone and flute is the chief source
OF amusement for Haitians in their lit
tie villages on Saturday night. accord
ing to an article by William Almon
Wolff in Golfers. Beginning at sun
down every Saturday night, he writes,
one will come to a wine shop, If one
follows the sound of the drum. The
drummer sits outside. His unceasing
drumming marks the rhythm of the
music; what melody there is, is borne
by a flute, and almost always there is
a saxophone. The music is the same
at every dance. 1t is in common tone
single cadence is repeated, over and
over again.
Dancing in Haiti resembles the sat.
urnalia among the Australian aborigi-
nes, Mr.. Wolff writes. The dancers
are frank and unashamed and one gets
little or no feeling of a personal note
between the two one sees dancing
rather they are staging a spectacle.

In the first place, it was always as
serted, with emphasis and even with
acrimony, that he (Palmerston) was
not a wing. Gladstone, who did not
much like whiggery, though he often
used wings, laid it down that "to be
whig a man must be a born Whig,"
and believe that the doctrine is abso-
lutely sound. But Palmerston was
born and bred a tory, and from 1907
to 1880 held office in tory administra-
tons. The remaining 80 years ef his
life he spent, for the most part, in
whig administrations, but whig he
was not. The one thing in the world
which he loved supremely was power,
and, as long as this was Sc
cured, he did not trouble himself much
about the political complexion of his
associates.-G. w. 3. Russell.

My funniest experience was last

cling by auto through the Topango
pass in California. We had an expert
enced driver, and the roads were like
boulevards all through the mountains.
We were going about eighteen miles
per, when suddenly, for no apparent
reason, we swerved from the road
about four feet. and almost went into
a canyon.
We all wondered why 1t happened,
and the driver could not account for
it himself.
