I've been pretty much all over the United States, and I reckon I've seen some pretty rough mountains, but these fellers here have got more solid rock in their dinky little country than all the rest put together.” We passed an island oft to the right on which stood a quaint old castls, said to date from Roman times. Then iwe came upon two women rowing a crescent shaped canoe laden with hay. They stood one at each end and each with an oar. “Say!” exclaimed our friend. “Look at that! Ain't that primitive, though? But for that matter, this here old tuh we'se aboard of ain't moving much faster than they are. Say, how'd you like to have a nice little motorboat on this lake, now? Wouldn't it make their eyes stick out? I've been in America too long to be able to stand When 1 get there. I like speed!” Pairs of snowy cranes began to fly :un among the shores of the channel, and the soldiers amused themselves by firing at them until the pilot made them stop, saving shooting on the lake was forbidden. Presently we found we could get Turkish coffee on board. We ordered three cups. “Say, don't you fellers order none of that for me,” protested the volun- teer. “I'm only a common soldier, you know. These other guys wouldn't know what to think if they'd see me sitting here drinking with you. You boys—er, 1 mean. you gentlemen— understand, same as I do, that clothes and all that don’t make no difference and that one man's just as good as another. But these guys ain’t up to that yet. They've got their king and all. Say, ain’t these kings the guys I'd kick ‘em all out, and elect & president; let him serve his four years and then tell him to run along now and give some other fellow & show. But, gosh! 1 donit dare talk | story 1s told of a visit he made short- | like “that arcund here. They'd takd me out and shoot me for treasoun. like enough!” i lowever, we overcame the scruples of this good American, and toward 4 p. m. had the satisfaction of seeing the scattering houses of Plovnitza just ahead of us, in a valley that nar rowed until it was a mere ravina This was the end of the lake. In tho! road at the back of the pler there were about a dozen three horse car- riages waiting to relay travelers on to Cettinje. Despite his protests that he would just as soon walk, Wwe packed the volunteer into one of them with us and soon were rattling over the smooth macadam through rlovnit- za, which did not take many seconds, and then up the precipitous cliffs into the mountains. Splendid Mountain Road. This well built road entitles Monte- negro to claim to be the most ad- vanced nation of the Balkans. In all our trip we had seen nothing to com- pare with it. It rivals the finest mountain roads of Italy, France and England. Though the ascent is con- tinuous all the way to the national capital, which lies on a plateau Ia the very lap of the peaks, we were drawn by the wiry little horses at 1 trot a good part df the way. It was twilicht now. The stars came out bright and sharp. The gounds from the village houses far below rose faint and peaceful to our ears—the barking of a dog, the rattle of wheels, the glad cry of a child. | Suddenly rounding the broad curve of | a precipice, we were startled by the glaring searchlight of an automobile descending upon us at sharp speed. 1t slowed at slcht of us, edsging up close against the cliff, so that as it passed T could plainly make out the | bluft and grizzled features of the | elderly man who sat with two others: fn the rear seat. He was King Nicholas. Looking back, we saw the carriage in which four Serb officers had been following us, draw to a stop. The automebile stopped also. The officers got out and were presented to his majesty, there in the road in the clear night. We could even watch them deliver to him the dispatches of which they had been the bearers. Their mission was ended. The automobile sped on, | and the carriage turned back. That night, as we afterward learned, the Turks made a sortie from the Scutarl trenches, but thr Montenegrins had been forewarned. Instead of finding | the besiegers unprepared, the Turks were received by a terrible fire which left many dead or groaning on the plain ere they could regain the shal- ter of their fortification. King Nicholas, as tle foregoing In- cldent indicates, keeps a close watch | upon the status of his army. The 1y after the beginning of the war to one of the villages in the rocks near Cettinje. On returning to the capital, he sent a message to the local ad- ministration of that village, saying | that he had been amazed to see us' many men in the village street as if the 1and had been at peace instead of at war, and that he desired that every able bodied male, no matter what his | position or what his excuses, be straightway mustered in. The king's automobile is a familiar sight on such of the mountain roads as will permit. But, while the scenery {s magnificent, motoring in Monte negro is not without danger. Four days before our arrival, on the very curve we were now traversing, a local merchant had been spinning down to Plovnitza in his machine, when | something happened—nobody will ever know just what. The automo- bile with its passenger and chauffeur plunged over the low guard wall and down 600 feet to be flattened to bits on the rocks at the base of the crags. ST DT T, .

Dr. Eliot, whose name was men- in London, is strongly in favor of early views:— “You will hear some young man say, ‘I cannot invite a girl whop has been brought up to do nothing for herself, and to have every gratification and to marry me, until I can earn an in- come which will enable her to live tioned as American Ambassador marriages. Here are his every luxury provided for her, with me in that way.’ I have two re- marks to make about that doctrine— that if'a girl has been brought up in that manner, the sooner she has a chance to live differently the better for her; and, secondly, that it is only fair for a young man who loves a young woman to consult her as to whether or not she wishes to marry him before he can earn a large in- come. “The young woman has & clear right to say a word on that subject to the man she loves, and not to be obliged to wait till he is thirty-five years old before he asks her to marry him. This is a matter of looking | ahead at a critical point in your lives. Young men are not in the habit, per- haps, of contemplating this aspect of marriage. It would be wiser to do so. The sooner you begin to think about it the better—first, because it will be thinking about the most important event in your lives in respect to the development of your own characters and to the happiness not only of your selves, but of the women you will marry, and of the family life which will normally result.” Our Modest Wants. It is a remarkable fact that the vast majority of men look forward through the years of their greatest activity not to a winter home in Florida, or south. ern California, or at Cairo, Cannes or Nice, nor to a stmmer home in the Adirondacks, in the White Mountains, among the peaks of the Rockies or the pines of the Sierras, or somewhere along the New England coast, but rather, to a 40-acre farm on the out- skirts, easily accessible to a market, where they might crowd the accumu- lated experience and wisdom of a life- time into the intelligent management of a chicken yard.—Christian Science Monitor.
