How They Manage to Live High on Very
small Salaries.
When we descended into the street
Herr Won Hamilton told me that the
noeseinik, whose official salary is 1900,
is supposed to make an income OF about
$500 TO $4,000 year. Nothing is
done, nothing is carried out under his
regime. but something remains in his
palm behind. Every official request
must DO accompanied by ruble note.
or bundle OF that commodity OF pro-
portionate value 10 the matter in ques-
tion. A merchant, say. wishes to un-
dcrtake a journey. and forwards his
passport. together with a hve-ruble
note, to DO rise. A week passes. his de-
parturc is imperat ive--no passport! The
Russian merchant knows better than
to show any temper. lie presents an
humble request between the leaves OF
which ten-ruble note is gracefully
sandwlched. and 10! he receives his
passport--ho is happy man. The
proverbial spoonful OF oil goes further
than tho bottle OF vinegar, and In deal
ing with Russian ofIicialism gentle per-
suasivencss Is the means OF gaining
your end.
A characteristic episode led to the re-
moval OF the last ndesetnk. lie had
conveyed to an old Bendzin jew that
his son could be got off serving in the
army by the payment of thousand
rubles (for short time ago (before) it
was usual thing for the officials who
were connected with this matter. from
tho Rdcseinik downward, TO sell eyemp-
lions and share the spoiD. This
Hebrews son happened to be a
weakly creature-almost cripple
and by Aome misunderstanding
| the old jew wrote TO the
authorities at St Petersburg averring
that his son would make at best such a
poor soldier that he thought that he was
not worth more than five hundred ru-
bles. After that expose the ndeselnik was
no longer comfortable in Sendzin, SO
he was sent 10 the Caucasus-.kicked
upstairs into an even more lucrative
position!
