In order to dodge Interstate commerce com mission regulations, and at the same time soo the Dartmouth-Amherst game at Amherst less expensively, several hundred Dartmouth men have arranged to tend a number of pigs. At first they wanted to hire a cattle car and go as "livestock," tout the I. C. C. balked. However, as cham bermaids to the pIk it's "OK" and no faro other than the pigs'. Their somewhat odlferoua occupation, how ever, will probably bar them from any "fussing" at Smith collego (female), Northampton, Mass., the Mecca of all New England college men when off on what the Dartmouth men call a "peerade." ionery Store 1 I SERBIANS FORCED TO RETREAT BEFORE T Loudon, Oct. 27. Ser1la Is fight ing almost In the last ditch, admit tedly. In the Moravn valley the cen tral allies are now one-third of the way to Nlsh. They have passed Svllaju'c, 50 miles southeast of Del grade, and while the Serbians make repeated stands, they are being steadily driven back. To the west of Svllljac the ad vancing lino extends almost unbroken for 60 miles. The Bulgarians have made a Junc tion of tbelr north and south line on Serbia's eastern boundary with tho Teutonic loft In the northeast. Russia la negotiating for a passage through Roumanla to aid Serbia and chaatlse her former friend, Bulgaria, 'but thus far has accomplished noth ing. England's troops Anally have Join ed the French and Serbs in the struggle In southern Serbia, though indications are that tbelr main plan Is to Intercept the central allies be fore they reach Constantinople In stead of trying fully to save Serbia.

MASON TELLS WHAT WAR MOVES IAN New York, Oct. 27 Serbia's plight is of secondary Interest to England. The beleaguered nation has either been abandoned to her fate or may be soon. Great Britain Is promising Nlsh nothing, and is not guided in ber strategy by, any con sideration of sentlmentallsm. This Is the Inner meaning of the remarks of the Marquis of Lans downe before the bouse of lords. In fact, he pronounced the funeral ora tion over Serbia's remains. It is a month since England has known that Serbia waa to be Invaded. Yet Lans downo was compelled to announce that only 13,000 British troops were available for her aid, and these ap parently were hold at ' Salonikl. A large force Is en route, but Its dis position has not been decided. That means thut none of England's plans call for Serbia's salvation. If It is better strategy and less wasteful to check the Teutons In Bulgaria and Turkey, then Serbia will be ignored. Strategic reasons, however, are not alone responsible for this situation. Significantly Serbia was the original cause of the war. She failed to satis fy Bulgaria, thus causing the present dark situation In the Balkans. In view of this, England apparently ' Is inclined to let Serbia pull her own chestnuts out of the fire. Wheat Club, 88 91; blueetem, 91 (& 93. Oats No. 1 white feed, 24.25 24.75.

QUEER PERSIAN VEHICLES. Riding In Thorn Is Lika Bsing In a Rolling Ship at Sea. The two kinds of vetili-lcx In common use In I't'idLi differ only in uppeuruuif, the pulukl telu opeii. I lie kejevab cov eteti with u llj;Ut iwf. guii-raKy made wuturproof aud with vuruius before ihe eutrauee to keep out the xuu, rain, wind uud snow. The kejovah is the more elii borate conveyance, heavier aud more expensive to hire, and therefore In iiHod chiefly by tli" richer classes. Hut the most comfortuble means of travel uud oue which is used only by the wealthiest aud most luxurious clufetitt is the takhtlravun. This is a sort of pntaquUi couslsting of a box about seven feet long and Ove feet high, fitted with doors aud windows Inside are a soft muttress aud souie cqmfortable cushions. The whole Is built ou the sedan chair principle, but with mules Instead of mn,a bearers. The poles rest on the pack saddle ou the backs of tho mules, which walk tnudem. They cau. of course, only be ukikI In the long plains and are useless when the route goes over hilly coun try. The motion reminds one of a roll lug ship, aud some people evcu get giddy uud seislck at first in them. Such pt-rsouuges as princes, gover nors aud high officials always travel! with uiuuy followers and baugers-on. It is a most picturesque sight to meet such a caravan, from which the pipe bearer Is never missing. In front of his saddle are fastened large round cases covered with bright red cloth, containing the silver water bottles aud the silver tops of tho isltan (water plpei. ' Under the horse on one side Is a perforated metal fire box banging on a chain and containing the bsrnlng charcoal, while on the other side swings a heavy leather bottle full of water lu readiness to prepare the pipe on the road. A clever bearer prepares the ap paratus as he rides along, gallops up to bis master aud bauds him his ready prepared smoking pipe to eioy a few pulls. The luucheou or tea horse is another necessity for tho Journey. Anywhere ou the high road It can bo uuloade'd. and within n few minutes the felt cur pet, carried on the saddle behind the rider, Is spread ou tho ground, the sum ovnr, cups, sugnr and lemon nrniu'ed on A trny ou one corner, uud, kneeling behind tliesp, the serviwit bauds out Hie tea to the travelers. When ready to remount they leave htm behind, mid i he pucks up ami follows nt u smart j ranter, soou rejoining tho caravan. j Liuutcmtut Colouel A. lleluleke in Trnvl Classified Advertising AMSAYEItH B. a.

Tolstoy, the great Russian novelist, spent his whole. life in a dose com munion with the peasants and was pcrsunded that all the wisdom' he might have attained concerning lite, ita true meaning and Its troe aim, was due but to tbis fact He knew the peasant soul; be spoke and be wrote, especially in his religious and moral works, . the language of the peasants. He alwaji says, speaking of truth, that he means "the simple : peasant truth." He considers the work of the peasant the only dignified labor, and he never ceased to Investigate the sim ple thoughts .and the clear Judgments of the true workers the peasants. At the very end of his life, when he left his home he wslked with his daughter through a village and said to ber:' "1 don't yet know our peasants. I will take a stick and wander from door to door,' knocking at each bouse Then, perhaps, listening to the answers they will give mel will penetrate into their true minds.' Exchange. Color Sohomos In Rooms. When following out a color scheme In furnishing a room a tittle touch of an entirely different but harmonizing color produces an excellent effect This was brought out by a professional dec orator who was discussing the furnish ings of her own home. One room which was furnished in green and had a green velours couch cover was esiecially noteworthy. "The room needs something to break the monotony." .she said, "and some pil lows with a bit of old ruse coloring will do it" A bedroom where the color scheme is blue and white la attractive, but re quires another color to give It warmth. A straight color scheme Is easy enough for any one to carry out, but it calls for considerable skill to make it distinctive, as In the practical applica tion of a little variety is usually neces sary to make- the furnishings really charming. Good Health. Dont Bo Radical. The sooner young folks learn not to be radical the sooner they will find themselves floating serenely down the stream of life without friction. To be radical takes lots of trouble; yon have to be continually ripping off veneers, scratching Surfaces, engaging in origi nal research, applying add tests, lifting lids, making analyses, iearing off masks, demanding proof ando on inimitably. But it is all pernicious activity. The lenders and makers and sellers of earth fix things up so that they will seem to be so and so; their leadership add tbelr fame and their profits depend upon our being perfectly credulous and accepting things for whnt they seem. Why. theu. ask embarrassing questions" and thus incur the everlasting 111 will of those who are trying to hoodwink usT It Is much better to take things as they come (paying cash, of course) and be humbly grateful.
