He accepted this offer, and after getting g check for the amount, sent on his biography, which was as follows: ''I was born at Ly- ons in 1889, and sincs that time can recall nothing of any account, except that have not been killed in any of the uprisipgs."

Pray, tell me, what is the idea embodied in itp' Mir.
