FEEDING MANY THOUSANDS OF TURKISH PRISONERS IS DRAIN ON ALLIES: MOS LEMS MUST BE CONTENT WITH WATER. AND BREAD; SOME IN TURK ARMY, TOO Cettinge, Montenegro, Nov. 11. The war with Turkey has brought to this little country many problems, not, the least of which Is the question of how to teed thousands of Turktah prison ers of war. Montenegro, barren little kingdom a few thousand square miles in ex tent, has always been poor. The war with Turkey has rapidly depleted her magre resources. Her own soldiers have to be armed and fed. That is hard enough; but now she has thou sands of war prisoners to care tor. As might be supposed, the Turkish prisoner get very little to eat, and practically no medical attendance. They must be content with a diet of coarse bread and water. They say they are used to starving, that while they were In the Turkish army they fared little better. Grafting has been reduced to a fine art by Turkish officials and funds sup plied them for war supplies have gone into their own pockets. If the stories told by these Turk prisoners are true the greed of the cultan's army officers is in large measure responsible for the weeknese of Turkish arms. The accompanying picture was tak en at Uodgoritza where 3,000 Turkish prisoners were brought at one time by the victorious Montenegrins. Writing of the arrival of these prison ers, an English woman correspond ent of a London paper said: "Then followed ,the procession of prisoners an amazing spectacle.

THOMAS CO.; W. T. ttJ&rrto-MKwiirri MURDER INDICTMENTS. PEPYS, THE DIARIST. Proneuneing the Name of the Garru lous Old Gossip. Lovers of Pepys often dispute over the correct pronunciation of his name. The form Peeps la the one that has chief authority on its side, and it is according to analogy In other like spellings, such as Wemyss. pronounced Weems. Peeps still holds good at Cambridge and dates from Its bearer's own time. It Is also retained by the representatives of Samuel's sister, the Pepys Cockerell family, who are heirs to his fame and some of bis property. The late Rev. J. W. Ebaworth, an In defatigable collector and editor of bal lads, adopts this pronunciation In hi pleasing stanzas on "A Gossip at Dept ford." For instance: The state has no servant of all whom she keep Like my squab little friend, who no lav bor docs shirk. The pattern ot quill driving elerk. Bam Pepys. A disturbing element in the discus sion is that the branch of the family represented by the Earl of Cot ten bam pronounce the name Peppls. No bearer of the name has ever been known as Peps, though Ashby 8terry, a respected member of the Pepys club. follows this common but erroneous pronunciation in this excellent epi gram, published In the London Graphic November, 1891: There are peopla, I'm told eome amy there are heaps Who speak of the talkative Bamuel aa Peeps. And some, ao precise and pedantto their tap la. Who call the delightful old diarist Pepys, But those I think right, and I follow their steps.

Murder ha been written of aa a fine art, but It remained for the United State to treat it a a sport. In many of the states an Indictment for mur der contains nearly enough words to fill a column and sound like the con versation of an Idiot. Here la a sam ple: "That the said J. F. a certain pistol then and there charged with gunpowder and leaden bullets, which said pistol be, the said J. F.

M., then and there" This Isn't as Idiotic a it looks, bow ever. It la part of onr sporting theo ry of Justice, which makes a murder trial a game of skill and flnesse be tween opposing counsel. By tb slightest deviation from statutory form one side may lose the game. Convictions for the most abhorrent crime have repeatedly been set aside because of trivial verbal omission in tb Indictment. Had the murder referred to In the above quotation occurred In Canada the indictment would have read sim ply: "The Jurors of our lord the king present that J. F.

This world we're living- In Is mighty hard to beat. Tou get a thorn with every rose, But ain't the roses sweet? There is an eastern legend that when the beneficent Creator prepared the earth for man, causing it to bring forth herbs and trees pleasant to the eye and good for food, each bearing its seed within Itself for propagating its kind, the rose bad no thorns and the lilies, violets and other blossoming plants were free from thistles, bram bles and noxious weeds. But the sons and daughter of men in their greedy eagerness to gather the flowers, each one selfishly striving to secure a larger share than his fellow, seemed likely to despoil the earth of Its beauty and leave not even enough blossoms to perfect their teed and per petuate their species. So the kindly All Father provided the roaea with thorn for self protection and sent a host of defender of the more tender blossoms by causing thistles and briers to spring up around them like wardens of a castle or the bodyguard of a queen. And thl is the reasou for the thorns and brier nature's protection against human greed. The legend ha a wider application. The roses typify the pleasures of life and the thorn Its pain A life of ease and pleasure was not only use less, but satiating. It would demoral ize him who Indulged in It Satiety despoil the rose of it beauty and the violet of it fragrance; hence kind na ture make true pleasure the reward of virtuous effort and punishes ver- tndulgence with penalizing suffering. to the end that greed may be reetraln- Human Nature.

Even in its early stages Catarrh is a most distressing complaint, known by its symptoms of stuffy tecling in the head and nose, roaring in the ears, mucus in the throat, difficult breathing, etc. When the blood be comes thoroughly polluted with catarrhal matter the inflammation extends to the bronchial tubes, causing hoarseness and often an aggravating cough, the stomach is affected, resulting in dyspepsia, loss of appetite, and grad ually all the mucous membranes oi the body become diseased.
