Russia's Advance East and West.

Russia, the New York Tribune OBJ
serves, seems to be winning her way
in both the east and the west. Tur-
key has yielded to her demands,
which a few years ago would have
thrown Europe into commissions, but
is now regarded with indifference or
only academic interest. 1.-The result"
explains the Tribune, lis that, save
for Roumania's small frontage upon
it., the Black sea becomes a Russian
lake, and Russian army can adj
vance from Russia-the Caucasus
through practically Russian territory
straight to Constantinople and to the
Balkans without trespassing upon
the territorial barriers which Hungary
and Roumania have long interposed in
the way Great Britain lost interest
in Constantinople when she gained
control of Egypt and the Suez canal.
Austria-HunSary has her eyes fixed
upon Salonika. Germany has a free
hand in Syria and Mesopotamia, to
which this Russian advance is no
menace. And France is Russia's ally.
SO in such division of interests of the
powers the Turk finds worse kismet
than in their concert. Russia has also
demanded the cession of a bit of ter
ritory on the Korean coast and the
exclusive monopoly of the right to
open mines in the Peninsula. The
former demand Korea has apparently
granted because she could not help
herself. Japan has also acquiesced in
1t, not for the same reason, but pre-
sumably because it gives her an ad-
mirable pretext for taking another
bit of Korea for herself If she cares
to do so. Moreover, it does not great.
ly matter to her what Russia does
along the Korean coast so long as
the Japanese navy is the dominant
one in those waters, as it is and is
likely long to be. The other Russian
demand, for an exclusive MONOPOLY
OF mining, Japan proposes to dispute.
She already has many of her subjects
engaged in such enterprises In Korea.
and will probably not agree to their
expulsion, nor will she agree to the
exclusion of any others who may
want to go thither."

To A Mountain


When melted SHOWS have told the
stream
The sweetness of the sod they
kissed,
And, with the springs first daylight,
CLEAN
The creatures of the morning mist;
When all things gladden. in the sun,
And steeple unto steeple calls,
From Athols height to Templeton,
And grasses burst from pebbled
walls,
When Nature swells a friendly song.
The little buds speak Que at last,
And in the woodland comrades throng,
And thou alone no comrade hast!
If now and then passing cloud
Caress thy brow, or swallow please
10 pause above, moment bowed,
They vanish wayfarers like these.
o lonely mountain! Night shall steal,
And only they thy grandeur guess
Who know the friendless vast, yet feel
The majesty of loneliness!

Cigarette License Law Upheld.

The decision of the United States
supreme court upholding the validity
of the Chicago cigarette license ordi-
nance will be of benefit to the COM
munity in two ways. In the first
place, it will add to the effectiveness
of the restrictions placed upon the
sale of cigarettes; and in the second,
it will somewhat increase the city's
revenue. 1t will drive the small dealer
who sells to schoolboys out of bust
ness, and will have a tendency to
make the large dealer more careful.
His license costs him 500 a year,
and that may be revoked at any time
upon proof that he has sold cigarettes
to anyone under 81 years of age.
The effect upon the large dealers,
however, will be comparatively slight.
They will pay the license fee and
continue in business as heretofore.
They never have cared for the trade
of minors, and will only be little
careful whom they serve. But in the
vicinity of schools, and in other
places where boys congregate, the de-
cision that the ordinance is constitu-
tional and may be enforced will be
most salutary. 1t is in such places
that the danger lies. The proprietors
in some instances sell by the penny's
worth, and deal almost exclusively
with minors. They are also the men
who have refrained from taking out
license while waiting for the decision
that has just been rendered. Their
business, while the most harmful OF
any, is not large enough to allow
them a profit under the terms of the
ordinance, and they will hardly care
/ to incur the risk of a fine of S25 a
day by selling without a license. It
will be well to watch them. however.
and in this connection it may be hoped
that the Anti-Cigarette League will
not attempt to use the school children
as detectives. This did not meet with
favor when it was tried before, and
/ the same objections will be raised ii
the plan is repeated. 1t is too much
like spying, and the law can be en-
forced without it. Let the league and
the local officials be energetic, and
they can accomplish all that is de-
| sired. The law gives them the power,
and it should be enforced without fear
or favor.

Russians as Fish Eaters.

There is no country in the world in
which SO much fish is eaten as in Eu.

cause the Greek church has many
more fast days, and observes them
more strictly than the western Catho
lies. The use Of meat is prohibited OF
greatly restricted on nearly half the

1t was certainly calculated to cool

Contrary to his custom he wrote
long letter to Dona Engracia. He re-
GREETED they had never met, but she
must remember he was busy man and
could not afford to travel for pleasure.
He mentioned his ever-growing bank
account, and limited that it was not
impossible that he would marry
should he find maiden worthy Of
him, adding that the woman he select
ed would never have reason to regret
having changed her name for his
own. Uaaccustomed to dealing with
women Don Pablo did not dream that
she wiuld divine his object, but felt

in his mind he almost imagined him

ture arrived. Juaquina brought it to
him, carrying at the same time dust
cloth in the other hand, in order to
have an excuse for remaining in the
room; she was anxious to see what
the large envelope contained.
Don Pablo opened it with an eager
ness of which he was little ashamed.
Busily rubbing an invisible speck
from the table, Juaquina watched him
from the corner of her eye. He gazed
at the photograph for moment as if
spellbound, then held it off at arms
length as if believing his eyes had de-
ceived him.

Dona Engracia was Don Pablo's
ward, the daughter of friend, who,
dying, had left her 10 his care. Her
guardian had never seen this young
woman, who had been placed shortly
before her fathers death in school
at Madrid. Her modest fortune was
handled by Don Pablo with scrupu-
lous care, for he was strictly honest,
but he considered her a troublesome
incumbrance. He wrote to her only
when Obliged to send her the check of
her allowance, which was always ac-
companied by these words: ITO spend
little in youth is to have plenty in old
age" Every Christmas he felt obliged
to send her a present, but it was new

encourage a frivolous taste, being
something useful. such as gloves or
shoes. the selection Of the articles be-

always replied: 1T was very kind of

my father wished me to be mistress
of my own fortune. In six months |

There was note of exultation run
ming through this letter that irritated
Don Pablo; while he was pleased that
his re possibility was drawing to an
end, and had already congratulated
himself upon it, he was vexed to know
that she also was pleased.
"She will soon be able to squander
her money as she likes" he thought.
land will doubtless marry a spend
thrift who will help her throw it
away"
Just here thought flashed through
his mind with a suddenness that al
most took away his breath Why not
marry her himself?
This was indeed a happy thought
Engracia was young, she had money,
and it was not at all probable that
she had become attached to anyone
else. Those years spent in the school
had given her a negative disposition
which he could mold as wax to his
taste. He had never seen her pho
tograph, and up to this time had not
given her personal appearance a
thought.
Now it had suddenly become a mat
ter of the gravest Importance. He re-
Elected that she must be a beauty;
her father was handsome Castilian,
and her mother. as he remembered
her, had possessed all the grace and
charm of the women of Andalusia.
He would write for her photograph at
once, and if it proved satisfactory,
which it was almost sure to do, he
would go to San Sebastian to see her.
