ONTENEGRO — whose reigning
prince Nicholas I by way of cele-
brating the jubilee of his accession
has proclaimed himself king and
his principality a kingdom — Is one
of the storm centers of the near
east Its Influence on Balkan pol-
itics Is not to be measured by Its
’ size for this Land of the Black
Mountains as the Venetians
named It long ago is actually the
smallest monarchy In all Europe
When a few weeks ago Nicholas
assumed the title of king his wife
became Queen Milena Nicholas also declared
that Montenegro shall be known henceforth as
Zeta that being the ancient name of the country
The territory subject to the rule of King Nich-
olas Is just-one-fourteenth of the area of Rou-
raanla a tenth of Bulgaria a seventh of Greece
and a fifth of Servla Yet Greece has long been
an independent state Roumania a monarchy since
1881 Servla a kingdom since 1882 while Bulga-
ria exchanged the rank of a suzerain principality
for that of an independent kingdom only two
years ago Ever since that dramatically precipi-
tate action on the part of Bulgaria and the assim-
ilation by Austria of the neighboring provinces
of Bosnia and Herzegovina the Montenegrin
prince and peopie have been ambitious to assert
their sovereign dignity
And If there be any satisfaction in this eleva-
tion of their national status the Montenegrins are
assuredly as entitled to it as their neighbors of
Servla and Bulgaria for Montenegro can boast a
record unrivaled by any other state in the whole
Balkan peninsula Alone of nil the Balkan
peoples theso hardy mountaineers have never
known the harsh hand of a conqueror Secure In
their wild mouutaln fastnesses almost Impreg-
nable In their Inaccessibility tho Montenegrins
have retained their national life and political In-
dependence through centuries of strife and Sla-
vonia dismemberment Dynasties have fallen and
kingdoms crumbled on either hand but this one
tiny state has preserved Us freedom from alien
control Even when the Turkish hordes threat-
ened to overrun Europe and in their triumphant
CTR££T 3C£i£
march swept away the medieval Servian empire
this warlike mountain race kept Its passes by
oeaseless watching night and day and submis-
sion to Turkish authority was of a nominal na-
ture And when their ancient capital was threat-
ened they abandoned It as ruthlessly as those
other Slavs of the northland burned and aban-
doned Moscow In the face of the advancing foe
and betaking themselves high up Into the moun-
tains founded a secure seat of government within
the rocky walls of Cettluje
A wonderful people these Montenegrins with
a wonderful history It ever u Servian empire
be re-established If ever the Balkan states be-
come united in a powerful confederation that
would wholly change the political complexion of
the near east and Us problems it will be largely
due to the patriotism and pluck of this little pa-
triarchal state To this day the men wear an
edging of black In their scarlet caps — this In
mourning for' a lost Slav empire — and with all
the passion of a primitive people they hold to
that national idea which would accomplish the
union of all the Serb states
Early In the sixteenth century the ruler of the
Montenegrins being a pious prince who mneb
loved the church handed executive authority to
the metropolitan bishop who henceforth bore ihe
title of "vladika” or prince bishop For three
and a half centuries spiritual and temporal
power lay In cne man’s bands the vladika being
a little Balkan pope In 1G9G the Pctrovlc NJegos
family entered into possession of this princely
power and this dynasty rules In Montenegro still
In 1861 Danilo I renounced the title of vladika
In favor of that of hospodar at the same time
severing the temporal authority front the spirit-
ual oversight of the people In 1853 Danilo II
ordered the enrollment In arms of all Montene-
grin males capable of service The tribal system
still obtained chieftains of clans being directly
responsible to their prince On August 13 I860
the rresent ruler acceded to power and during
tho fifty years of a notable reign Prince Nicholas
has done much to civilize and modernize this
primitive mountain laud while at tho same time
he has been careful to keep national habits in
all their simplicity and to foster a lofty national-
ism of spirit and sentiment among his people
Of all the Btates In Europe Montenegro is per-
hapB the least known to the least visited by the
average traveled man while to the untraveied
the very name Is a blank The proclamation
of a new king In Europo Is a reminder howevor
of the value which the Montenegrins Bet upon
theli own Importance an Importance which Is
by no moans to hs underestimated when Balkan -questions
arise to disturb tbe curronU of blgb
diplomacy Packed within an area which Is at
most a hundred miles long and eighty miles wide
Is a population of about a quarter of a million
people the sturdiest bravest and most warlike
people anywhere to be found The Montenegrins
are a fighting race among whom personal bra
very Is accounted the highest virtue In man By
a national decree the men all carry loaded pis-
tols at their belts and these they are prone to
use on small provocation They have no regard
for the value of human life and family animosi-
ties are pursued through generations after the
fashion of the Corsican vendetta Nicholas I has
for years steadfastly discouraged these blood
feuds which are a bane of Montenegrin life but
racial Instincts die hard and these men of the
Black Mountulns are not easily soothed into civi-
lization’s ways
In the early years of Nicholas’ reign Montene-
gro Buffered much by pestilence und famine as
well as by successive conflicts with Turkey
which has ever been envious of the Montenegrins’
stubborn Independence In the struggles of the
seventies Prince Nicholas and his people were
successful to the extent of recovering valuable
seaboard territory In the possession of which
the principality was confirmed by the twenty-
eighth article of the Berlin treaty In the sme
famous agreement of the powers the Independ-
ence of Montenegro really existent for centuries
was at last formally recognized even by Turkey
With eo much conceded to their heroism and pa-
triotism the Montenegrins were free to develop
their national resources which are wholly agrl- ’
cultural Among the humanizing Influences es-
sential to the progress of his people Prince
Nicholas promptly recognized the value of edu-
cation and almost before the Ink was dry on
treaty signatures an extensive scheme of elounen-
tary education waB organized throughout the
principality There are now Borne 200 primary
schools maintained by the state and attendance
Is compulsory on all children
Whatever Nicholas I has done and may do
however by way of fostering the nrts of peace
and of advancing the material prosperity of his
pooa avails little when the Montenegrin genius
la essentially military In all eastern Europe
there Is no finer soldier than tho hard man of
the mountains The Montenegrin ruler knows his
strength In this respect and he has fashioned
at least a fifth of the population Into a well-disciplined
ami well-equipped little army comprising
58 battalions of Infantry aud 12 batteries of artil-
lery but no cavalry
Of even greater account than their martial
order Is the Intense nationalism of tbe Montene-
grins a sentiment which their ruler stimulates
by royal decree as well as by personal example
It Is for Instance Incumbent on all to wear the
national costume prosaic European clothing Is
tabooed Picturesque as It Is the costume ens
pliardzes the extravagant theatricality of the Mon-
tenegrin pose But If garments enhance an ideal
Prince Nicholas is shrewd Indeed In hls ordi-
nance Much that may seem extravagant and
absurdly archaic to western Ideas has a hidden
purpose In the Balkins Austrian Russian and
German policy alike has aimed at such a seve-
rance of Serb associations as shall effectually
repress Serb aspirations to a reunited empire
Cn the other hand It has been the settled pol-
icy of Nicholas I to keep the flame of Serb par
trlotism alight Hence It Is that the fervent nar
tionallsm of this Montenegrin people finds ex-
pression In the very jackets of the men and the
skirts of the women In tho minstrelsy of the
single-stringed fiddles and the ever-present readi-
ness for war
Montenegro has a constltutlton first granted
In 18C8 The skupstchlna or national assembly
la elected by universal suffrage for a term of
four years A ministry of six portfolios repre-
sents executive authority but to all Intents and
purposes Nicholas I Is an absolute autocrat The
father of hls people he glveB public audience to
all and sundry and administers justice beneath
a famous plane tree hard by the palace gates at
Cettlnje Such Is the patriarchal ruler of a pa-
triarchal state who in the pursuit of a national
ambition Is exchanging the primitive simplicity
of ancient Czernagora — as Montenegro once was
styled— for the trappings and majesty of a mini-
ature monarchy

CAPT LARSEN GOES THROUGH
THE WHIRLPOOL RAPIDS WITH-
OUT INJURY
CRAFT TURNS OYER ONCE
But Nervy Captain Stays In the Boat
and Wins Fame
Niagara Falls — Captain Klaus Lar-
sen in hls little motor boat the Fer-
ro late Sunday afternoon made a
successful trip from the foot of the
cataract through the whirlpool rapids
to within a mile of Lewiston a dis-
tance of four and a halt miles He
started from the Maid of the Mist
dock at 4:45 and ran on a rock near
the American shore at 5:30 o'clock
Despite the battering of the whirl-
pool rapids Larsen went through
safely but hls boat was leaking bad-
ly at tbe finish and through tho trip
Larsen had intended to start at 2:30
o’clock but he was delayed by engine
trouble Besides the authorities
threatened to Interfere on tbe ground
of attempted suicide
Tbe Ferro swung under the Cantil-
ever bridge the engine running at
top speed and wag caught in the
swift drift where the river beglnB Its
rush down to whirlpool rapids
Larsen held to the middle of the
channel and In less than three min-
utes bad made the great pool In the
trip through the rapids the little boat
was lost to sight most of the time
but at Great Wave It was shot twen-
ty feet out of the water The boat
landed right and continued to the
pool Larsen kept to the outer edge
of the pool and passed out and down
yithout accident Just as he left tbe
pool the engine stopped working and
Larsen was at the mercy of waters
hardly less violent than those above
The little boat swung around stern
first and turned completely over Lar-
sen coming up badly battered It was
here he Injured his leg
From here on Larsen was a mere
plaything of the rapids unable to hold
the course the boat swinging from
one side to the other After getting
through the Devil's Hole the Ferro
swung toward the rocks on the Amer-
ican side of the river rolled over one
boulder and went fast between two
otners There Larsen stayed for five
minutes forty feet from shore work-
ing desperately to release the craft
Getting free he was hit by a comber
and sent careening towards the mid-
dle At the bend with the Lewiston
bridge In sight the boat drifted to-
ward the American side again and
was then caught in the shore eddy
The Ferro grounded again this time
near enough shore to be caught by
Roy Rockwell of this city who waded
Into the water and caught a rope
thrown by Larsen
Except the Old Maid of the Mist
sent through in 1864 to avoid seizure

Grocer Man Used Formula That Mad
Little Harry Long to Be
Far Away v
Mrs Jones’ favorite warning to her

chief was that she would tend to them

the grocery In a few minutes he came
trotting soberly back with the nickel
still in bis hand but no bag of onions
’’What’s the matter?” asked hls
mother
“I'm ’fraid of the man' he said sol-
emnly “Oh he won’t hurt you” reassured
Mrs Jones “Run along and bring the
onions I’m in a hurry for them”
A second time Harry disappeared
round the corner and a second time
returned without his purchase
“I’m ’fraid of the grocer man” be
explained as before
“Well what makes you afraid of
him?" demanded hls mother Impa-
tiently ’’Why’ answered the little fellow

at me an’ said ‘I’ll tend to you In-
minute’ ” — Youth’s Companion
