carefully produced. It said:
"My Dear Little Pupil I forgive
you from the bottom of my heart,
and / am going to ask you to forgive
me- I am afraid I am as fond of
teasing as any boy in the world.
When I got home from school last
night I thought I had been as cruel
to you as you had been to Willie
more cruel, because I ought to know
better What I said to you and Harry
was my way of teasing. Let us both
start fresh tomorrow, and l hope
that we will both remember as long
as we live that what is fun for the
boys is death for the frogs If you

ABOUT KEENAN,.
Authors Expulsion from Russia is
Explained in Detail.

London, July 29.--Mail adyices re-
ceived here today from the correspon-
dent of the Associated Press at st.
Petersburg give details of the expul-
sion from Russia of AeOrge KEENAN,,
the American author and lecturer, who,
as cabled exclusively TO the Associated
Press on Friday last, was called upon
az MS hotel at ST. Petersburg Thursday
eNlning and was Informed by a high
pplice officer That he must leave the
country by 10 o'clock Friday evening.
Mr.. KEENAN, was cOurte0usly treated,
but was not allowed to leave his room
In the interim His expulsion was car
ried out quietly. He was provided with
a travelling passport, signed by the
chief Of the political police. and boarded
a train for Wirbalin, accompanied by
an escort. His own passport was re-
turned 10 him ON his arrival at Wir-
balm. The correspondent said.
"Mr KEENAN, arrived in st. Peters
burg three weeks ago after an absence
of fifteen years He entered the cOun-
try by way of Finland on an Amerl-
can passport, which had been eX-
amined and signed by the Russian con-
sui at Hull. Since his arrival here Mr.,
KEENAN, had renewed his old and pleas
ant acquaintance and had collected
literary material He was not engag-
ing in any political agitation. The
Russian press referred to Mr.. Kennan's
return courteously, no paper suggesting
that he was not welcome. and he be-
gan TO feel secure.
AT about 6 o'clock Thursday eve
ming a high police official placed him
under detention in his room and read
notice requiring Mr.. Kennans de-
parture by 10 o'clock Friday night,
There is only one explanation for Nj,
Kennans expulsion, and that is that
the Russian government has not re-
covered from the effects of his crlti-
cisms of the Siberian exile system,
which has been greatly modified and
restricted since Mr.. KEENAN, first wrote
about It. His expulsion was simply a
question of policy which has not af-
fected the personal attitude of old
friends toward Mr. KEENAN,. who was
invited to places where the highest
government officials were present"
A responsible official Of the press
department Of the ministry said to the
corr spondent OF the Associated Press
on Mr.. Kennan's arrival: II do not
think that anybody here doubts Mr.
hennans good faith We believe he
made an honest and sincere inyestisa-
ton Of our prison exile system; that
he was misled by those he trusted
ana was often imposed upon His
perspective was wrong. one can give

selects the most repulsive subjects TO
