rural police, the chiefs Of which are
appointed by the state and the ordi-
nary officers by the different villages.
These are the most rapacious wretches
on the face OF the eartf and the way
they grind down the helpless people In
their control would bring tears to the
eyes Of man Of stone.
The Third Section, whose chief Is
spoken of in whisper as the White
Terror, is made up of the dreaded Sc
cret police. The organization OF this
force is a we'll guarded mystery, and
therein lies its vast power. 1t Is under
the immediate control of the minister
OF the interior, and its one particular
business is to ferret out enemies OF the
car and of the imperial government.
Much has been written about the
Third Section, but no complete story
of its organization has ever been told.
Even the cleverest and the most relied
upon detectives in its employ do not
know the real facts of the matter.
Americans who have lived in the prin-
cipal Russian cities and who have
written about ii have only been able
to obtain the barest skeleton OF its for
nation, but that is as much as any one
knows.
Secrecy and mystery form its foun-
dation. How many men compose the
force is unknown. They may number

5000, and possibly $4,000. The section
includes men placed in every walk of
life, from the humblest to the most
powerful, the artisan and the diplomat,
the high army officer and the common
soldier, the laborer and the society
man, the merchant and the thief. In
every big city the world over are men
Of the Third Section. They are in New
York, in Chicago in Boston. Philadel-

country. They swarm in London, PARIS,
Berlin, Vienna. Constantinople and the

WOMAN AS A HOSTESS,

Whatever the aesthetic or sensuous
attractions, the ultimate fact is tnat
when people assemble socially hey
meet to talk. In popular definition
"soclable' means conversation, and
"nnsocial' means Silence" The sue
cess OF any social gathering will be
largely decided by the prevailing spirit
Of the conversation. And in this, more
than In any other feature OF the occa-
sion, the personality OF the hostess
should appear. No matter how many
gifted onversationalists there may be
present. she should not permit an out
slider to create the atmosphere OF her
house. Even the most diffident woman,
who glibes unobtrusively through a
throng elsewhere, should courageously
assert herself when the responsibility
Of entertaining rests upon hei. In her
admirable feaelessness she may recall
the terse self-announcenent of Rob
Roy, My foot Is On M native health,
and my name Is MacGregor."

complete and extensive is this organ
lied spy system that little goes on that
does not reach the ears OF some official.
During the coronation festivities at
Moscow the Third Section will be con-
oentrated at thar point. In the great
crowds which flock TO the ancient city
there win be thousands of these secret
agents. They will be present at every
celebration big and little, with the poor
and with the rich; in every hotel, in
every church, on the street, in meeting
rooms and clubs, and woe to the man.
woman, or child even, who utters a
word OF protest against the ear or his
officers.
The Third Section is hated by the
people of Russia, and they have made
this clear many times by assassinating
the white Terror in power. In ISIS
General Mezenzoff was shot dead, and
year later his successor barely es
capped with his life from the knife Of
another assassin In 1883 General
Sudeikin was slain and in 1890 his
successor, General Seliyerstoff, was
shot dead Hundreds of men and
women have been sent TO Siberia for
plotting against the lives of the chief
police officials, but this does not deter
others from doing the same, and sooner
or later one succeeds.
At the coronation the czarina will
wear 100000 gown. and the czar's
carriage will be drawn by six he SEES,
whose harness cost $4,000; but these
empty glories will not harmonize with
the evil worked by the Third Section
among the poor people, who must pay
for the terrific extravaganza, and be
exiled afterward for murmuring
against system which tolerates such
abuses.

THE ADJuTANT SMILED.
An Irish Drum Majors Ready Reply
Did the Business.

An amusing incident occurred IN IN
English regiment some time ago at
Malta 1t must be explained that the
adjutant was very morose-looking
fellow, and was known in the regi-
ment by the sobriquet Of the man who
never smiled.
One morning he had been standing
on the yeranda of his quarters listen
ing for reyeille, but had not heard it
played, SO he sent for the drnm-major,
an 1rishman.
When the latter arrived the follow
ing dialogue ensued:
AdjutantI never heard reveille
played this morning.
Drum Major can assure you, sir,
it was played.
Adjutant (sareastically)- Perhaps you
would not mind stating the tune thai
was played?
Drum Maj r-"Thy Bright Smile

jutant. And he actually did smile
that time.

TESTIMONIALS.

The DeLaval "Baby" Cream Separa-
tor testimonial letters have Outgrown the
possibilities of catalogue and newspaper
printing. The number on file is nearly
$4,000, and it would take the average
reader a year to read them.
These letters of practical experience,
however, are very interesting and in
structive, since they are Illustrative of
what has been the actual experience of
every user of BABY Separator, and
what must be the experience of every new
user having use for such a machine.
They form the most practical sort of an
'sducatjOR in the general and indisputable
advantages of centrifugal separation.
Therefore, a number of the very newest
of these letters, selected as coming from
representative and widely known dairy
men in different sections. and as covering
all the different branches of dairying and
varying conditions under which separa
tors are used, have been printed in a sep
arate pamphlet termed "BABY" TEsTI
