ers, a pair of tall boots and cap
make his summer costume. For winter
he simply puts long coat Of sheep
skins over his cotton clothes, substi-
tutes felt boots for his leather ones,
and buries his head In a fur cap. The
Russian soldier lives in content and
| joy on what the English redcoat would
spurn.
But aside from all these considera-
tions there Is one quality possessed by
that tawny-haired, bl0nd-bearded troop
| saw at Samara that would alone
make Russia n dictator. That quality
is obedience. One of the greatest trials
Of the commander Of American troops
is to teach them implicit obedience.
And that is more or less true of the
troops of all civilized powers except
Russia. But there Is no more need to
teach the Russian soldier obedience
than there Is to teach n duck to swim.
The mouzhik obeys by instinct. 1t is
not even second nature to limit Is
first nature. For generations he has
Obeyed. He knows nothing else. he eX-
poets nothing else, he wants nothing
else.
The mouzhik looks upon his employ
er as his master. The owner of large
manufacturing plant, who employs
many hands In st. Petersburg, told me
that once a fire broke out In his build
ings near large oil tank. An explos-
ion was possible at any moment. Yet
! his men fought the fire around the tank
as unhesitatlngly us n It We're their
regular daily work. He said that II he
had told one of them to cross n burn
ing plank, the man would have crossed
it without hesitation. He might have
gone through and been killed, but that
was n question for his masters to de-
clde-it Is none of his business.
i Thus 1t is with the soldiers. Russian
officers can plan and work with the
full consciousness that no matter what
orders they may give, no matter If the
execution of n command means the de-
struction of every man in the army
those orders will be obeyed absolutely

chance to buy another boys knife.
But he couldn't find the pocketbook.
Perhaps Polly took cold the day she
went where Aunt Why was unpacklng.
She had a sore throat. and wore fan
nel around her neck for two weeks.
The next time she went to her grand
mothers 1t was Christmas. There was
roast goose for dinner and all kinds
Of pie. Ben was there. He mad never
found his zen cents. II he had, he
would perhaps have bought sugar
dove for Polly.
While the folks sat around the fire
talking. Polly. perched in tall chair
with nothing to do, had sudden mem
ory.
| She got down. ran to the kitchen
closet. and saw the sugar bowl. 1t had
buttons and alum and broken SPOOL
in 1t, but Polly was not to be imposed
upon.
"Caddy: caddy! caddy:" she srlea,
running up and down.
ITS the old tea-caddy that she
wants" said grandma.
That's In the other closet. We keen
nutmegs in it," said Aunt Why.
"Pep'mints! mine pep'mints." clam
ored Polly.
The caddy was brought. and sure
enough when she thrust her little hand
under the nutmegs she found her pep
permints and pulled out the recipe fol
mangoes.

claimed grandma.
And now Ben was putting his own
hand in. Yes. there 1t was! his pock.

On New Years Day Ben. clean and

ls your call. Choose the card you like
best"
Polly was delighted. She picked out
the prettiest card. with "Mr. Befja-

Then Ben went forth from neighboi
to neighbor impartially. lie was very
successful. He met with smiles every
where. and In some places he met with
apples and New Years cakes. Every
body seemed glad to receive n card
with MIR. Benjamin Dotten" upon 1t,
together with picture.
When II came to the last he hesl-
'nted. He was tired and wanted to 20
home. 1t seemed to him he would
rather see his good. kind grandmau ma
than anybody else In the world. The
last card had roses upon II.

running home he made has best bow tc

The grand Old Year is dying
His hour has come at last;
His brilliant reign is ended.
Its golden days are past. -.
He shakes the wreath that, wlthered
Lies cold upon his brow;
His breath is quick and labored,
His eyes are closing now.
The grand old year is dying,
He bids the world good night;
A starry veil is lifted
That parts him from our sight.
A sigh of deepest feeling,
A tear and then smile.
For scenes OF rarest pleasure
Our lonely hearts beguile.
Behold, the New Year cometh!
His face is young and fair:
The merry bells are ringing.
There's music everywhere.
oh. happy. happy greeting!
oh. happy, happy day
That lights our path before us
And laughs our cares away.

3. . o. Improvement. Completed.


The improvements on the main line
Of the Baltimore and Ohio. west of.

North Mountain. were completed No.

nearly four miles, starting three miles
west Of Martinsburg, and extending
some distance west Of Myers Hole.
tion. At Myers Hole the line was
changed. taking out some very objec-
tionable curvature. and the roadbed
raised nearly fifteen feet. eliminating
two grades of ~ feet per miles which
came together at Myers Hole. and sub
stituting therefor an almost level
track. This point on the road has
always been dangerous one and
many freight wrecks have occurred
there. Apart from doing away with
the dangerous feature Of two sharp
down grades coming together. as was
the case In this instance, the saving In
operation of the road by the change
will be very large. as it enables the
tons per train to be greatly increased
and reduces the liability to accident to
the minimum.
At Tablers the road bed has been
lowered about thirteen feet. and the
| same at Tabbs. besides taking out OBJ
jectionable curvature and reducing the
rate OF grades at these points from i2
feet per mile to ten feet per mile. thus
increasing the cars that can be hauled
per train. Though these improve
ments have cost quite a sum OF money.
the expenditure is fully Justified by
the great saving in operation.

POSTER BOARD MATTER.
Mr.. Thompson Answers Cha rye
Made by Mr. MoXley.

Mr.. Thompson Answers Cha rges
Made by Mr.. Moxley.
Arthur L. Thompson, the owner of lot
/, square 574, which is involved in the
poster board war now going on betw cen the
MoXley firm, of Washington, and the Rife
& Houcks firm, OF Baltimore and this city,
today filed an answer TO the charges OF
Mr.. George W. Monkey that he was seek
ing to cancel his contract with the local
firm, and rent the posting privilege to the
out-of-town concern.
Mr.. Thompson says that he is a coal deal
er, and the great consideration in allow
ing the plaintiffs to post bills was that they
should erect a handsome, new and well-ap-
pearing boardfence. He says that the con-
tract was violatedby their failure to do this.
The answer recites that the defendant
did receive S25 on account. and also 81 8
worth OF thc3ter tickets. Mr.. Thompson
offers, however, TO return these sums to
Mr. Moxley. He claims that the plaintiff
twice failed 10 render tickets, as agreed,
and on one occasion had to pa = for ticket
at a certain theater. 1t is alleged that the
contract terminated because OF the failure
of the Moxley Company to erect the fence
called for.
IL is admitted that Rife & Houch, the
rival company, is anxious TO erect board
fence, as Mr.. Monkey agreed to construct,
also that he is willing that Messrs Rife
and Houch should do SO.
The court is asked, in view OF the tender
OF payment to Mr. Moxley of the sums
mentioned, to dissolve the Injunction and
dismiss the bill
