The Womau's Columbian club, wishing

sue call to mass meeting of teachers.
industrial women and all others who are

ing, clearly and safe, for 40 cents day"

tons and satisfy all inquirers. For the

ans Dormltory association, Mrs. Matilda
B. Carse, president, and Mrs. Helen NJ.
Barker secretary, propose erecting nve
dormitories, four for women ex-
clusively, and one for families.
exclusively. These are to be frame

he was accompanied by Cossack es-
cort. The sirdar invited him to join
his certege, which was just starting on
a tour of inspection, and proposed that
they could thus obtain an opportunity
for arriving at an intelligent idea OF
the general situation. The sirdar's in
variable custom was to travel in COM
pany with his three wives, and the first
night the entire party camped together
amid some ancient ruins for the pur-
pose Of enjoying a nuch-needed rest.
Now, it so happened that the Russian
doctor went to bed In an unusually ex-
allied state of mind, consequent upon
too generous indulgence In the hos
pitality of the sirdar's table. During
the night the watchful Afghan
sentries deserted white object
crawling stealthily in the direction
of tie tent occupied by the
sirdar's wives. They ran toward
the mysterious object and cautiously
followed in its wake. They had not
long to wait before the figure, which
was that of man, clad In scanty IN
dergarments, reached the ladies' tent
and attempted to pass under it, much
In the fashion Of the small boy who
seeks a surreptitious view of circus
show. The instant the ghostly form
betrayed its fell design sentry jabbed
it in the rear with his hooked spear,
when a sharp cry rang out and the
wounded man rolled on his back. The
slight injury, however, that he had sus-
tanned, was nothing to the disgrace of
the exposure, for the culprit was none
other than the Russian medical officer
himself. The sentries would not allow
him to go back to his tent, but held him
prisoner till daybreak, and had it not
been for the interference of the Cossack
escort, peeping Tom would have Jared
badly.
Still funnier is the story lately cur
rent in Baku concerning the archie
mandrite of that place. The habitual
practice there Of leaving the carcasSes
of animals to rot in the streets without
being removed is mentioned above.
Some highly disrespectful person saw fit
to deposit during the small hours, right
in front of the archemandrite's resi-
dence, the dead body of a mule. To
make matters worse, it was clear that
the animal had been dead for some
time and it's condition was correspond
ingly offensive. Official dignity was
outraged and the entire staff of the
archemandrite's servants was hastily
summoned to the scene with orders to
speedily remove the remains. They all
responded to the call of duty with one
exception, the cook, and he fatty de
clined to perform any such degrading
duty. WHAT he exclaimed, turn
me, trained and high-priced disciple of
Vatel, into a scavenger of street refuse?
Never! death would be preferable to
such dishonor." Tho archemandrite,
enraged at this refusal, went to the
