Though they lack BUR crowning grace
Though their talk be not about
Things we talk Of dining out;
Though their jokes are hard to see,
Let them be.
Could we once have been as thoyf
Fat and rosy, fresh and gay,
With such reverence for the fact,
With such perfect want Of fact.
Yesf Well, all the same, prithee,

Erickson was the real ~discoverer Of this

Now that Hasbrouck's commencement
is over. the next all absorbing subject
will be the High School. and this year
there will be two important changes in
the regular routine of former High
School commandments, which tend to
place it on a higher scale. These are In
the detail of arrangements and will eff
ieet the graduates themselves more than
the general public.
First. the class about to graduate Some
time ago decided that the arrangement of
paving for seats in the Academy at the
rate of fifty cents was all wrong They
thought the Board of Education should
pear this expense, and applied to that
body with the result that it Immediately
appropriated $3.50 for the purpose, so that
for the first time the graduates will eaca
be entitled to invite an equal urnbe Of
friends, whereas, by the old rule they
could only ask as many as they had fifty
cent pieces to spare, giving what the pub
lie school should always avoid, wealth
preference. This step will probably put
the Glass of 's9 on record, as it will
doubtless obliterate the fifty cent rule OF
former years.
The second change win be an omission
rather than commission. During the past
few years the supper given at. the recep-

Russia and Japan. concerning rights In
Korea, statements made yesterday by
Mr.. Alexander Pavloff. the Russian
minister to Korea, who happens to be
in Washington as the guest OF Count
Cassini, the Russian ambassador here,
are most opportune and important. Mr..
Pavloff is an accomplished diploma
fist, with extended experience in the
far east, and was on the staff OF Count
Cassini at Picking when Russia ac-
quired Port Arthur and Talien Wan.
and later was advanced to the post OF
minister to Korea. Mr.. Pavlof was

spoke quite frankly Of the recent war

II left Korea only four months ago,
going to st. Petersburg, SO that my in
formation is quite direct and official.
and I assure you there is no basis
whatever for reports Of conflict be-

DR0KEISUNDBR ARREST
Charged With Using the United
States Mails to Defraud.
REALIZED OVER HALF A MILLION

On an Alleged "Bucket shopping"
Scheme Ono OF Their Customers
Claims to Have Lost 100000 on His
Deals with the Firm.
Chicago. Nov. 16.-The federal au-
thorities yesterday took cognizance Of
the reports which had been made con-
corning the alleged fraudulent business
of the board Of trade firm of McLain
Bros. & Co.. and arrested Charles II.
and Albert O, McLain, members of the
firm. The charge was using the Uni
ted States mails to carry on a scheme
to defraud. The prisoners were taken
before United States Commissioner
Humphrey, where they waived exam
nation on the charge and were held
to the federal grand Jury In bonds Of
$4,000 The bail was what is known as
a Joint and several bond. the whole Of
which will be forfeited If either or
both Of the defendants fail to APPEAR
in court when called upon.
The two board of trade mon are
said to have begun their operations
with customers in various parts Of the
country two years ago, and 1t Is claim
ed they realized over $500 900 through
their bucket shopping" schemes. They
will not appear in court again until
next spring, and not then unless the
federal grand jury finds true bills on
the charges.
The firm Of McLain Bros. & Co. has
ceased all operations on the market,
having transferred It's trade. The
case, which will be presented before
the next grand Jury, 10 said to show
most fragrant violations Of the board
Of trade rules, as well as offenses
against the postal laws. The firms
business consisted principally Of deals
for country customers. The members
of the Arm are said to have matched"
buying or selling orders from GUS
toners with the reverse trade on it's
own account. and the work is said
to have been carried on so quietly that
many customers lost money on the t1c-
tltious sales.
10 The evidence in the case Is In the
custody of the postofice inspectors and
is made up of bundle of several hun
dred letters written by the defendants
to their customers. The warrants for
the arrest of the McLain brothers was
based on the alleged swindle Of p A.
Hyke, Of Luverne, Mimi, who claims
to have lost about $4,000 on his deals
with the board of trade firm.
The evidence in possession of the
postal officials consists Of letters which
contain memoranda of transactions
made for customers and show that.
while an effort was made to keep
within the letter of the board rules, a
conspiracy existed among certain local
firms to violate them. 1t Is said these
deals. which were made by the Nc
Lain brothers for customers in the =,
west, were bucket shopped," and
never reached the grain pit
