Russian Press Rules.

The Russian minister of the interior
acting under instructions from the
czar, has alleviated the severity of the
press laws in all the larger towns and
cities of the empire, in fact wherever
the population is over 100000, by ex-
empting the newspapers from the OBJ
legation of submitting all articles on
political subjects to the censor before
publication. Hitherto only a few o1
the principal papers at ST. Petersburg
Moscow, Warsaw and Odessa have en-.
joyed the immunity.

OId-Time Resident of StOrkviIIe Cen
ter-RemarkabIe Experience.


ter-RemarkabIe Experience.
Il doubt if any man ever had a more
singular experience" said Col. CaIliper,
than once befell to the lot of nv old
friend, Stephen Gizzbunller, who for
merly lived in Storllville Center. VT.
Mr.. Gizzbunkler, like most of us, had
his peculiarities, the most conspicuous
perhaps, being his habit of always car
rying an umbrella. No matter what the
weather nor what the signs might be,
= henever went out without an umbrella;
he knew it would be sure TO rain if he
did Where he got that impression
don't know. He may have been out
some time in his youthful days in his
best clothes without an umbrella when
it came on to rain.
/, Some years ago when they began
making the curious and costly expert
ments in the arid regions of the far
west, firing explosives from balloons,
and one thing and another, to produce
rain, Mr.. Gizzbunkler, standing one day
with his umbrella under his arm, IN the
Storl1ville Centre post office, perusing
the newspaper which he had just taken
from the mail, said:
'"'Why do they waste all this
could get rain with certainty and at
far less cost? Why don't they send for
me?' >-~~--t''------~
What could you do?' asked a neigh
bor who was standing near.
"'Why, L could go outFwithout my
umbrella said Mr.. GizzRunkler, and,
amazing as it may seem, it is not the
less certainly fact that he wrote to the
mayor of a town near which some of
these experiments had been conducted
offering to go there and produce rain
for his expenses. 1t shows the con-
suming desire for rain on the part of
the people and their readiness to take
any chances to get it, that they imme-
diately sent for Mr.. Gizzbunkler a
draft for the money to come on with,
without even asking him how he was
going to produce rain.
"When Mr.. Gizzbunkler arrived at
the town he was met at the railroad sta
tion by delegation of citizens who es-
corted him to the hotel; later he was
waited on officially by the rain commit
tee of the town council, who, in the
presence of the reception committee
and large number of other interested
citizens, asked Mr.. Gizzbunkler his
plans.
''They had some queer people in this
town at one time or another, but Mr..
Gizzbunkler appeared to them to be
the most useless person they had ever
had there. At first they thought they
would kill him at once; that there
would at least be some slight saving in
shipping him back as freight; but
Stephen was so obviously well-mean-
ing man that finally they thought they
would give him trial, which they did
on the following day.
"It was day on which any other man
in the world would have left his UNI
brella at home, anyway. Stephen
Gizzbunkler was about to leave his at
home for the first time in many years
and he was equally confident of what
would happen. He had been little
shaken personally, by the attitude OF
the people after his simple plan had

trail leading to where the men are
working on the other side of the Pail

ever, was the feat accomplished by Mr..
Crane On Wednesday,
He was walking over the trail to
reach the other side, in order to get the

rock came rolling down. Crane thought
The rock was a large one and jumped
aside to avoid it. He missed his foot
ing and shot down the embankment,
feet foremost.
Presence of mind was the only thing
that saved him. Realizing the peril OF
the position he was in, he stiffened and
threw himself against the steep sides.
ms prevented his turning over and he
arrived at the bottom in less time than
he cares to calculate and unhurt.
