chamber containing 14 complete hu

Graham, mar

Scottish Royalists. In 1640 he was the
first to cross the Tweed In the Scot
tish Invasion of England. The follow

spondence with the king, he was Im
prisoned by Argyle for several months. ?
In 1042 he was offered the command of
the Covenanting army, but .declined,
and In the following year was definite
ly turned to the Royalist side. He
united the western clans, united by
their common hatred of Argyle agAlnst
the Covenanters, and with them he
won several victories, only to be
crushed the same year, when he es
caped to Norway. . /
In 1040 Montrose succeeded In urg

again to Scotland. He Raised an army,
was defeated, and afterward captured

Jugo-Slava Rich in Folk 8onga.
Of aIl T3uropeans the Jugo-SIavs fire
said to Tifive developed moBt fully the
art of folk-lore narrative. Folk-poems,
now a feature of immigrant life in
America, constitute a strong and vivid
link between modern times and the im
memorial days of heathen supremacy
In southeastern Europe.
In this literature to which the Jugo
slav immigrants give themselves there
Is an interesting separation of the mas
culine from the feminine poems.
The former are sung always by one~
person, while his audicnce tries to
memorize the words and meaning.
Such poems are always epic in char
acter.
The feminine poem may be sung by
one or more persons in unison, and Is
often done by two voices, without ac
companiment, and merely to pleaso the
singers themselves. Ordinarily lyrical,
the feminine poem may at times be an
epic in nature, but it Is always shorter
than the other. ? Detroit News.

Finally the rent* were lowered to
such a point that people decided to |
pocket their pride along with the sav* i
Inn in rent and the buildings were I
tenanted soon for an average rental
of a bout $100 u year.
Those who accepted the king's offer
had to sign nlnety-nluo-year leases.
The inequity of .the contract became
obvious as ltcgent street grew lit Im
portance as a business thoroughfare,
but none of the successive rulers of
Knglund ever tried to force their ten
tints to pay higher rents. Bad busi

rulers realized that law was para

Ject could circumscribe Its provisions.
Now the leases are expiring and
King George Is reaping the benefit of
renewals at . current market values.
Under the new leases tenants will pay
as much a week as they did a year.
YANKS WIN THE FOURRAGERE
French Decoration Given tq Organic*'
tlona an Imitation of the
Old Forage Cord.
The "fourragere" (originally a for
age cord or rope used for tying bay
or grain) Is the French military deco
ration for bravery. Several genera
tions ago the grain band was worn by
soldiers h# an ornament.
It Is now a collective decoration
' which Is conferred by the French and
other European governments, a colored
cord having been substituted for the
band of grain, says the Detroit News.
Fifteen American organizations were
awarded the fourragere by the French
government for heroic deeds In the
World war. On^. of these. Section -049
of the American ambulance service,
received four citations in orders of the
army, and therefore was awarded the
fourragere. In the colors of the ribbon
of the Medallle Mllltaire. The 011101*8
were awarded the green and red four
ragere of the Grolx tie Guerre for two
army citations.
In addition to these many other or
ganisations had their colors decorated
with the Croix de Guorre, but had not

orders to receive the fourragere.
