Hostile Armies Encircle Serbians
Germans Soon toOccupy Entire Country
. London, Nov. 9—Every day, every hour adds to the peril of the
Serbian armies fighting desperately to hold back the Austro-Germans
from the north snd the Bulgarians from the east, until the assistance
of their allies are sending, can reach them.
The Bulgarians have extenced their grip on the Belgrade-Saloniki
railwav north and south of Nish and have occupied Leskovae, south of
the captured capital, and Aleksinac, to the north. At the latter’point
they are in close touch with the German army wkich, after occupying
Kruzevac, extended its left wing as far as Djunis on ;the left ‘bank of
she Bulgar Morava. ;
INVADERS MAKE PROGRESS
- The Austro-Germans advancing southward are making progress
except in the west, where the Montenegrins are holding them. The
invading forces are reaching the most difficult part of Serbia, the
mountainous region where the natives, knowing every hill and gully,
can offer the strongest resistance. The Austrians acd Germans, how
ever, are'plentifully supplied with mountain guns with which they
expect to drive the defenders from their fastnesses.

QUAINT OLD INN NAMES.
Some of the Peculiar Signs One May
Read In England.
“Man Loaded With Mischief” is the
name of an inn in the Madingley road,
Cambridge, but it is not stranger than
many others. At Underwood, Notts, is
an inn called “The Toad In the Hole,”
and in the neighborhood -of Somer
cotes, “The Old House at Home.” An
other inn at the same place is called
*““The Old English Gentleman.”
It is a debatable point whether the
sign of “The Man Loaded With Mis
chief” was painted by Hogarth. But it
is like his satire, for it represents a
man carrying a woman.,
Many peculiar signs are the result
of a misconception. ‘“The Bag o’ Nails”
is really “The Bacchanals.” “The Goat
and Compasses” is an ignorant shot at
the old motto, “God encompasses us,”
while “The George and Cannon” i{s a
modern corruption of George Canning,
who was prime minister when the inn
was built,
One of the funniest of these corrup
tions is “The Iron Devil,” a corruption
of “Hirondelle” (swallow). It is said
that the inn called ‘“The Pig and Tin
der Box” was originally “The Ele
phant and Castle,” but a very poor
artist was engaged to paint the sign,
and somebody said it looked like a pig
and tinder box, and the name stuck
until it ousted the old one.
“The Plum and Feathers,” an inn in
Oxford, should be “Plume of Feath
ers,” and “The Rose of the Quarter
Sessions” was originally “La Rose des
Quatres Saisons.” ‘One might think
*“The Ship and Shovel” belonged to-the
same category, but it does not. The
reference is to Sir Cloudesley Shovel,
the powder monkey who became an
admiral in the reign of Queen Anne.—

A Bearded Freak.
- One of the earliest of the American
bearded freaks was Louis Jasper, who
lived in southern Virginia at abeut
the time of the close of the Revolution
ary war. His beard was nine and a
half feet long and correspondingly
thick and heavy. He could take his‘
mustache between his fingers and ex-!
tend his arms to their full length, and
still the ends of the mustache were
over a foot beyond his finger tips.
Appealed to Him.

Vill Power and
Determination.
J. C. Ryan of Houston Texas
proves that even a man without
hands, can help himself if he is
so determined. Though depriv
ed of both of his hands Mr. Ryan
is making his living by card
writing and there is no doubt
that his penmanship is superior
to most men with two hands.
He is too proud to become a
charge on the public on account
of his misfortune, so he writes
cards ata small compensation,
making his office at some con
venient point in the cities and
keeps busy at his job.
