Poultney Bigelow once had an un-
pleasant adventure with the secret
service officials of the Russian empire.
Under the title, "Police Spies in Rus
sia," he contributes to the Youths

his experiences, and draws a graphic
picture of the vigilant watch kept upon
strangers in the dominions of the
tsar. DIV
1t is said," writes the Hon. John
D. Long, in his article, 1.-THE Little
Demons of War;" in the January 9th
number of the Youths Companion,
that to Fulton is due the credit of
inventlng the torpedo. AS, early as
1910 he proposed one on spar ninety
six feet long; but its practical use
dates from our civil war. 1t was first
tried by the Confederates in the action
between the ram Atlanta and the mon

Some people seem to forget that it is
the duty of newspaper to publish
both sides of a story. If a newspaper
publishes only one side Of a story, it is
condemned by the other as being pre-
JUDGED; and the truth of the matter is
this, if a reporter approaches the other
side for statement they turn him
down, tell him it is none of his business,
and of course he goes back and pub
fishes but the one side. Then, they
rip, and snort around and blame the
paper because it did not publish their
side of the story. If you expect to
have your side published, give it to the
reporter instead of turning him down.
The collector of internal revenues is
contemplating a descent upon the pro
bate count, in order to determine what
estates will have to contribute toward
the payment of the war expenses and
what persons will have to paw the
money. Up to the present time the tax
upon legacies and inheritances has re-
NAMED unpaid, and the government
has taken no steps toward enforcing
collection. In the future, however, the
attorneys, executors and administrators
of estates will have to look sharp, for
l from this. time forth Uncle Sam will
expect to receive his dues without the
3 necessity of calling for them.
