ALBANIANS ABE ODD PEOPLE
??ni9 of Thwn An Highly OMIImC
But ?? a My They Will Mav#
Nothing of Pregrooo.
Ax a matter of fact, Albania Is a
network of mountain tribe# under
hereditary chieftains, each of wfyom 1?
Independent of tho reel and of -all the
world, and they do not want any
other form of institution*. Any geuir*
at government they regard as a limita
tion of their Immemorial freedom.
They are natural lighters, and esteem
no privilege higher than the privilege
of warfare among themselves, tribe
against tribe. They are of several
faiths and churches? Moslem, Catho
lic, Orthodox Greek, Moslems with
Christian customs and Christians with
Moslem cUstonity, and In aome tribes,
lu the same family, the boys are
brought up as Moslems and the girls
as Christians. With these people re
ligion is a mere Incident. The main
thing is to be let alone. Only in this
disposition and In their language are
they united.
Yet these picturesque and free-spir
ited barbarians are the oldest, purest
and probably the handsomest repre
sentatives of our race. In lineage tbey
are the Aryan aristocracy of Europe.
Ardent tribesmen, most dlgnllled shep
herds, devoted mountaineers, they nev
erthless wander over the earth ; and
many of them are engaged today In
blacking boots In Boston, New York
and Chicago. Individually capable of
civilization and oducatlon, well en
dowed with brains, their native prefer*
ence for the wild nationless life of
their mountain homo suggests a doubt
whether they havo not after all the
right idea of life ? whether the rest of
ns, in modifying the purity of the
blood which these rude Sktpetars have
maintained So nobly, have not degen
erated Instead of risen, says the Bos
ton Transcript. Why else, a curious
mind might ask, should the Albanians
placed in tho most beautiful nook of
Europe, facing the Adriatic sea, poised
between Borne ftnd Constantinople
nnd Athens, have remained Illiterate
barlmriuns through all tho centuries,
never Hellenlzed, never Latinised,
while at the same time they preserved
Rome of the noblest characteristics
and virtues of the race? Isolated they
have been, and very much civilized (
some of their members have become.
But of progress they will havo nothing.
Consolation.
When one Is filled with Ills
groans, when one hna cares and uching
bones, when every scene presents to
view but woes and bills far overdue, in
short when all the world'B a place of
fretfulness and sorry ca^e, then what a
solace one can find If he will only call
to mind the words that someone used
to say, "This too will only pass awayl"
They seem to have the proper ring, *
heap of comfort they can bring and |
when the day Is drab and drear they i
Bomehow seem to please the ear; wheft
In a wretched circumstance they may I
not make you sing and dance, they
may not fill you full of glee and make
you joyful as cuxi be, they may not
seldom fall to please. So when yo6
have no shirts to wear or when you're
losing all your hair or when you're
filled with aches and moans or when
you enn't collect from Jones, when you
are weak with toothache's ilia and
when you cannot meet your bills, when
all the weary world's askew and you,
in short, art; really blue, here is the
little piece to say : "This too will soon
pass away." ? Illinois State Register.
A Frequent Result.
"Ah, Mr. nowklns," said Brown
to a wealthy merchant, "I believe a
poor boy named Wilks sought your as
sistance twenty years ago and you
were very kind to him I You gave
him food and sound advice, a suit of
clothes and a half dollar, and dla
patched him on his way rejoicing.
He told you at the time that you
never would regret your kindness. Am
I right?" "Yes, you are," replied Mr.
Ilowkins. "He said," Brown went on,
"that If ho prospered he would see that
you never had occasion to regret your
kindness to a poor struggling lad."
"Gracious 1" exclalmod Mr. Howklns.
"It sounds like a fairy tale I Why, you
must have seen him I" "I have,** said
Brown, "and he sent a message to you."
"What Is It?" Mr. Howklns asked ex
pectantly. "He told me to tell you
that he would like another half dol
lar," replied Brown.
Another Extremist.
The business politicians were dis
cussing the uplift
"How does Jones stand politically 7"
asked one.
"Oh I" exclaimed the other. "He'i
impossible !"
"How is he impossible?"
"Why, the man's a howling radical;
he's practically 4 anarchist."
"I heard that he advocated the pub
lic ownership of public utilities, but I
didn't understand that ? "
"Public ownership? He's daft about
it. Why, the man even believes In the
public ownership of legislatures!" ?
Baltimore Sun.
Wonderful!
? "Smith Is a remarkable man," said
Brown.
"What Is so remarkable about
him?" asked Jones.
"Why, he can sing the whole of
the 'Star-Spangled Banner' from mem
ory," replied Brown. ? Cincinnati En

"When the President'* attention was

uk ftpd absolutely unjustifiable dlstor
l??n of the truth. As a matter of fact,
the War Department hat* performed
* task of uni>aralleled magnitude and
UtUculty with extraordinary prompt
ness and efficiency. There have been
Mays and disappointment and partial
nlxcftrringeq of plans, all of which have
bt*>n drawn Into tO?e foreground and
viaggerated" by the * Investigations
rhlch have been In progress since the
Congress assembled ? investigations
which drew ludlspeuaibio officials of
ho department constantly away from
heir work and officers from their
?omtnands and contributed a great deal
?o such delays and confusion as had
nevltably arisen. Hut by comparison
with what has been accomplished these
Mitnxx, quoh an they were to be re
?retted, were insignificant and no mls
Mike has Jveon made which has l>een
repeated.
"Nothing helpful or likely U\ speed
or facilitate the war ^a?kn of the Gov
>rnmeut have come out of Hitch crlt
olsixj and investigation. I understand
'hat reorganizations by legislation are
'o tH' proj>osed ? I have not been con
sulted about them and have learned
>f them only aLsecond hand- ? but their
?>roposalv; ' ctoufe after effective m ent
ires of reorganization had been
? bought fully ayd maturely i>erfected
md Inasmuch as these measures have
been the rosvty.of experience, they are
much n\oi*e "finely than the other to
'h? effective if the Congress will but
??(?move the few statutory obstacles of
-Igld departmental organization, which
stand in .theft way.
"The legislative proposals which I
bavc beard. of would Involve long ad
lltlonal delays and turn our experi
ence Into mere lost motion. My asso
ciations and constant conference with
he Secretary of War have taught me
'o regard him as one of the ablest pub
lic officials I have ever known. The
>ountry will soon learn whether he
>r his critics understand the business
'n hand.
"To add. as Benator Chamberlain
lid that there Is inefficiency In every
department and bureau of the gove.ri^
'neirt is to show such ignorance of
M'tnal conditions as to make It im
?ossible to attach any importance to
bis statement. I am bound to infer
hat that statement sprang out of op
position to the administration's whole
policy rather than out of any serious
'n tent Ion to reform Its practice."
