h_,W f WOULD be easy to miss the
I front i er °f Montenegro if one were
H ijot on the lookout for it. It is
M marked by a row of paving stones
set obliquely across the road and
a post painted with the Austrian black
and yellow. Then we turned inland
and covered the level mile to Njegush.
This important village Is the cradle
of the present dynasty and the birth
place of King Nicholas I. It is a cer
tile spot and like all the cultivable
. land of Montenegro appears to be
the basin of a long dry lake. We were
too high now for the vine, the olive
and the orange.
Not even the wild pomegranate, so
plentiful in Dalmatia, could follow us
here. There were fields of rye and
potatoes, or earth pears. We lunched
lightly at the inn on excellent rye
bread and coffee—one can generally
rely upon these and the wine being
good—and when the horses were
rested drove on through the valley,
over a pass and then down zigzags to
Cettinje, which with its 2,000 inhabi
tants is the smallest capital in Eu
rope.
The streets are wide and well met
alled. The houses are small, but they
looked well built and comfortable, and
, there are wells at various corners,
where the people draw water in the
evening. None of the Montenegrins is
greatly rich or greatly poor. The in
dependence of the individual is as re
markable as that of the nation. We
only saw two beggars in Certinje, a
crippled woman in a wheeled chair
and a blind man who sang to the gusla.
This Is the national instrument, a one
stringed fiddle carved with a horse’s
head.
There are villalike palaces for the
royal family and various rather impos
ing legations, but in the main both
houses and churches are very modest
in appearance and do not lay claim to
any great antiquity. It was the people
who interested us chiefl^.
The Dalmatian slouches. He is al
ways ready for a rest, and though he
falls into the most graceful positions
upon a doorstep, against a^tree or
down upon his mother earth one gets
tired of his picturesque idleness. The
Montenegrin has squarer shoulders
and a stiffer back. He-walks as if he
wishes to arrive somewhere and looks
upward and outward like an eagle.
Peasant Life in Montenegro.
The peasants wear long coats of
white feltlike doth with bright sashes
and all have the “torba” or pouch com
mon throughout Dalmatia. It is a big
leather contrivance, handy receptacle
for pistol, knives, pipe and tobacco.
The women are very comely, quiet
eyed, dark haired. They wear hand
kerchiefs or lace veils over their heads
and 'long, sleeveless coats of a pale
color, just touched with embroidery, a
becoming dress for old and young.
The Montenegrin wife does not have
a very easy time. She does nearly all
the work and soon grows old.
On the night of our arrival in Cet
tinje khaki coats w’ere being experi
mented with for the first time, with a
. view to their being worn by the army.
We wondered why they should be con
61d$red necessary, for the rough peas
ant coat falls in with the landscape
even better One streak of grime upon
him and the wearer is a stone among
the stones, a tree stump in the woods,
one sheep of his flock, a bit of broken
masonry under a wall. No khaki can
hide him better than his own home
spun and in his native mountains he
can defy the eye and the spyglass
The man of means does not wear
this undyed material. He has a green,
wide skirted coat, with sleeves slit
hear the shoulder, so that he may wear
z the coat without them when ft is
warm. And this gives him a strange
though very dignified appearance as
he walks down the Katunska Ulica, a
spare pair of sleeves hanging behind
him and his “struka,” a brown car
pety plaid, with snicks of color, folded
over his shoulder, its long frings
swinging at every step.
All alike wear the poetic headdress
es their country, a little round cap,
which is at once a dirge, a lyric and
a song of victory. It has a red top
and a brim of padded black silk, which
is used as a purse. The black Is
mourning for the lost country; the red
is in memory of the blood which has
been shed. On the crown are five
lines of gold arranged like a rising
sun—they are for five centuries of
glorious independence —and below
them, in the Russian character, aro
the Initials of the beloved ruler who
has lately been made king.
The Montenegrin type of face is
short, square, brown eyed, dark haired.
It is ready enough to smile, to see a
joke, but in repose it has a tragic sad
ness, a look of mourning that matches
the black cap brim. What do the
Montengrins mourn in their sunny
home? Perhaps it is the Herzegovina,
a fairer and more fertile land. It was
once their country, but the tide of Tur
kish invasion drove them from it, and
they fled to the Black moutnaln and
wrung a living from its gray, unfriend
ly slopes.
The Treaty With Austria.
They sowed their seeds in the little
pockets of earth that collect in dips
and dells in the rock and built them
selves houses of the plentiful stone.
They grew hardy from the hard life,
looked forward to the time when they
would have their revenge upon the
Turks and kept their weapons sharp
and their wits bright against the day.
The soil is rich, but there is very
little of it, so every patch is made to
contribute its half dozen potatoes or
its handful of grain. “You will,won
der,” said a Dalmatian friend, “how
such a country can grow such tall, fine
men.” He had been in Cettinje in Oc
tober, 1909, at the time of the ratifica
tion of the treaty by which Austria
annexed Bosnia and the Herzegovina
He said that war had seemed certain
and that the Montenegrins wished to
cross the border immediately to attack

the Austrians, so indignant were they
that the country which was once
^heirs, and from which their prince
had ousted the Turks, should be given
away by Europe to Austria.
Envoys came in from all the villages
eagerly asking, “Will there be war to
day?” The standards were on their
। way to the church. One was carried
by an old man over CO, who was told
that he was too old to fight. He re
torted that his family had held the
banner for 300 years, and that until
his son, for whom he had cabled, re
turned from America he woul I yield it
to none. But the envoys went sadly
back to their villages to say that there
would be no war. The prince coun
seled peace and his loyal subjects
obeyed him.
The Montenegrin’s simple field
equipment hangs in a corner of this
house. It consists of a rifle and a new
pair of “opanka” (sandals). The
question of supply and transport does
not occupy the staff very seriously,
for a man will live two days on a
piece of bread the size of his fist. He
takes three days’ rations with him
when he goes out to fight, and if he
were asked why he did net take more,
he would answer: "I have enough for
three days. By that time either I shall
have killed the enemy and taken his
food or else I shall be dead myself "
People Courteous and Brave.
These were the views held by the
people whom we saw walking arm in
arm in Cettinje in the cool of the even
ing or talking in little groups. Now
and then one splendid blue and scarlet
unit would detach Itself and stride up
to another, salute, perhaps kiss, shake
hands, say a few smiling words and
then withdraw again. We were as
much impressed by the charm of their
manners toward each other as by
their untailing courtesy to strangers.
They treat one another with great af
fection and respect until ! But
the revolver that peeps out cf the red
leather “torba” is alawys ready for use
and the blood feud is a living and s
dreadful reality, and no mere dramatic
fragment of a dead past. Part of the
Montenegrin’s social creed is that -h«
who avenges himself is blessed.”

KIDNEY TROUBLE—A WOMAN’S
GOOD_AOVICE.
I regard Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root
as the best medicine for kidney and
bladder trouble I have ever taken and
I will always recommend it to all that
are afflicted' with bladder or kidney
trouble. For eleven months I was af
flicted with kidney and bladder trou
ble in violent form. The symptoms In
my case were fearful. During all this
time I was being treated by .the best
and foremost doctors of the country,
all of them falling to afford me the
slightest relief and I continued to
grow worse all the' time and while 1
had utmost confidence in their treat
ment, it seemed that the time had
Come in my case when I must try oth
er remedies, consequently, I resorted
to the use of Swamp-Root and before
I had taken three small bottles, every
pain and symptom had completely dis
appeared. For any form of kidney
trouble, Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root Is
the medicine to use. I have never
known it to fall in a single case.

Itching under the skin. It spread fast
from between the fingers around the
nails and all over the whole hands. I
got a pair of rubber gloves In order to
wash dishes. Then it spread all over
the left side of my chest. A fine doc
tor treated the trouble two weeks, but
did me no good. I cried night and

hope as I had gone so long. There
was a marked change the second day,
and so on until I was entirely cured.
