Russia and inc Finns.

The Russian government has pro- mulgated four laws which put an end to the constitutional privileges hith- erto enjoyed by the Finrs The first law puts the Finnish seh-.> under the direct supervision of the governor general, and gives to him the right of veto over all resolutions of the senate. The second empowers the governor general and the reformed" senate summarily to dismiss any ad- ministrative official who has not been appointed directly by the czar. The third authorizes the judicial depart ment of the senate, which, under the first law, is the tool of the governor general, to dismiss judges at it's pleas ure. The fourth provides that no off, cial shall be brought to trial on any charge without the consent of his su- periors. This law is made retroact- i've in order to free the police from responsibility for acts already com mitted. The effect of these enact ments is to put the people wholly at the mercy of the Russian administra
 tive officials.-Youth's Companion.

LOVERS IN TROUBLE.
Elopements That Didn't Turn Out
 as They Were Planned.
That It Is But a Short Step from the Romantic to the Absurd Is Dem- rated by These Truth
 fud Tales.

When an e1opement is successful it is generally romantic. When it is frustrated it is nearly always absurd. It is as short step from the romantic to the absurd as it is from the sublime to the ridiculous.
 There are the experiences of Henry Halliday, the son of an English squire, and Miss Margaret Danby to illustrate the point. These two young. people and the opponents of their marriage seem to have copied an old English comedy. At least their experiences had been the plot of ? play hundred years before.
 The father of the bride to be drowned on the match, as fathers do occasionally, and then the lovers, as : lovers do occasionally, prepared to defy the parental displeasure and elope. With the assistance of a. coachman and groom belonging to MT. Danby they escaped from the brides home one night and got into the carriage, which was closed tightly,
 Then they dashed,away for the rail- road station at furious pace. The rain poured. down and the carriage plowed through pools of water. Within the lovers were snug enough, and radiant with the thought that half hour would find them on train and beyond the jurisdiction of the sire.
 The wild dash of the horses never slackened. After half hour of such riding they began to expect that the citation would soon be reached, but the pace kept up. Surely half hour had. passed, but they kept going on. Just as the young man was about to raise disturbance, thinking that the wrong road must have been taken, the carriage stopped
 Confident at last, the two prepared to emerge. As they stepped from the vehicle the young woman's father stepped forward to aid them out.

THE SILENT HERMIT.
Jerry Miller Has Not Said Word
 for Thirty Years.
Strange suIk of an ohio Man Due to Unjust Whipping Received as Boy-May Now Have For
 gotten Speech.

Silenced by a whipping heethought he did not deserve, Jerry Miller is now hermit in lone farmhouse in the wild regions of Ohio, not far from Ch Alicothe. He is now past 40 years old and no one can remember having heard him say dozen connect- ed words. The silence which he has preserved for 30 years came upon him when he was boy of il at work on his fathers farm close to the place he now inhabits in solitude, shrinking away from the public gaze and refus- ing always to accept even the kindly meant offers of aid.
 His father, who is still living, is said to have been a stern task master and firm believer of the old ideas of pun ishrnent. Jerry was accused by his father of some offense which the boy stoutly denied. His father, think ing the boy guilty of the offense, said he would whip both for the original offensc and then for not telling the truth about it. The boy protested and pleaded with his father, but without avail. The whipping administered was not gentle one, but the boy took it stolidly and did not even cry.
 The boy went about his appointed work in silence and seemed to be greatly depressed over the humilia- tion that had been put upon him. The family thought at first he was only sulking and the father openly said so. A sister the boy was particularly fond of tried to comfort him, but with liz tie success.
 The days grew into weeks and still the boy maintained the same gloomy silence. The father then began to grow alarmed and tried to get the boy to tell what was on his mind. It was of no avail. The boy would not talk under any inducement that was

 Years passed in the same dead silence. The father was heart-broken at the boys determination and tried every means in his power to show the son that he was eager to make amends for the wrong he had done. The boy, grown to a man, worked on in silence. Doctors were called in to see if there was any mental defect in him, bzt they could make no progress, as tat baffiing silence stood always bsr to all inquiries. f s-
 Ten years ago ago he left the pa- rental home and took up his abode in the house he now occupies. He lives there alone, caring for a small pa tch ot land which provides him with all he needs in the way of food, with bit to spare for an occasional purchase among those he has come to know. The house is as gloomy as its, occupant, and is bare of all the comforts notice ble in the houses in the vicinity.
 The man has no associates and his only diversion seems to consist in sit- ting for hours on the front steps of his old house looking far away and appar- ently thinking. He is always on the alert against intrusion when in these moods and takes to flight on the ap- proach of stranger. His brothers and sisters keep an eye out for him and see that he does not lack for the neces- saries of life and clothes enough to shelter him. His father and mother try often to induce him to break his long silence, but all they ever get is shake of the head and a sorrowful look from the now gray haired and worn looking son.
 It is the impression among those who have known Jerry Miller since the day his father gave him the thrashing that he could not now speak if he would, as the long years of silence have probably rendered his tongue helpless from disuse.
 The negroes about the eneighborhood look upon him as sort of strange be- ing who can if he will cast strange spells over those he does not like, and they show great respect for him and all that belongs to his simple, poverty stricken home.
 It is generally accepted as fact that Jerry Miller will never break his self impsoed silence, and will go down to his grave as a warning to all the rug ged fathers of the valley, and in that way he will have served a mission on earth at heavy cost to himself. In the meantime he lives a thing apart from his fellow men and broods upon his sorrow

Enemies of wild sheep.

Wild sheep depend for greatest pro- tection on their climbing capabilities. They travel where no man can follow, and often in climbing use their knees instead of their forehoofs. Their first instinct at the approach of any enemy is to start for the mountain top, aiming if possible to get above and keep above the enemy. Wolves, wolver- ines and eagles are their most common enemies, and the lambs suffer exten- sively from these. Wolves are capable of taking down grown animals, but in the summer hunger seldom induces them to make the struggle, and in win ter they prefer lower attitudes There are many stories told of the lordly ram doing battle with wolves, which are on par with the story of leaping from dizzy heights. The old rams are cum ming, and in this lies their greatest safety. They are perfectly at home on rocky lodges, where the wolf is not, and if they can gain such a position they will, with one charge, hurl the wolf to the rocks below.-O Outing

They found themselves at the door of Danby hall. The brides brothers. were gathered around them, and all were laughing. - ...
 ssCome in and get something warm," said the stern parent. You must be. cold after your ride.'
 Of course the coachman had be- trayed them. They had been going in a circle which had brought them back to the starting point.
 The sad story of the English lovers is similar to that of two young people of southern Illinois who had arranged to play with fate and balk papa a-the brides papa, of course.
 All arrangements had been made for stealthy departure for Chicago. They left the brides home secretly, and rode to a distant railroad station. There they hid and waited until train time Just as the whistle sounded down the road they emerged from their hiding place and ran into the arms of papa and several of his friends.
 Several vehicles were waiting for them, and, instead of taking the train, they rode home with chas cned spirit. It appeared that the lover. in an ex- pansive spirit, hadsrevealet the intend- ed trip to his bosom frieIis s..sworn to deepest secrecy, naturally. The pledge held good until the young man was out of sight, and then-well the secret was too good to keep, and papa finally heard of it.
 When the father was asked why he had not prevented the runaway in- stead of stopping it half way. he laughed and said:
 ssOh, thought would give them run for their money"
 Which proved that papa had sport ing blood in his veins.
 There was another case of an ardent lover who found his plans all gone wrong at the last minute. He had ar ranged with the young woman in the case to call for her at night He was, to place ladder underneath her win- dow and, mounting it, was to give the signal by tapping on her window. Then she was to descend, and they were to depart in haste. He carried out his end of the agreement, but the father in the case became aware of the plan. When the lover tapped on the window, it was opened. But the next instant large pair of stout arms, not the slender ones of his sweetheart, were around his neck, and he went into the room with more expedition than grace. It was papa again. The young man left the district the next day.

THE coNsUMMATE TRIUMPH.
An Example of Heroic Struggle with Adversity in the Life of Sir
 James Paget. N.-.s

Among the great names of the nine- teenth century none shines more hon. orably than that of the famous English surgeon, Sir James Paget His tireless industry and perseverance, his pa- tience and courage through the long years of poverty, his scorn of cheap cleverness, his love of wisdom, his ten derness to the poor and suffering, his loyalty to his friends and devotion to his family united in forming a charac- ter of rare strength and quality, says Youths Companion.
 Yet to those who knew him best his real greatness was revealed, but when, old and helpless and suffering, he was fighting the last battle of his life. He had won his way from obscurity to the first place in his profession. He had enjoyed an ideal home life, and count ed some of the eatestpersonages of England among his friends.
 Changes came at. last. His wife, whose love had been his inspiration for 50 years, faded gently away. One af- ter another his friends, too, crossed the unseen river. Bit by bit his life work had to be laid aside; finally the physician whose skill had saved so many thousands of lives became him. self helpless invalid, awaiting death
 1 He understood-the clear brain did not fail. But no one ever heard word of complaint through all the years of that hard battle. This is his sons tri- bute: ,z @ Y,
 Though one wrote forever one could not describe the wonder of those last years of fhis life. rOne looks, back at the infinite 5fulness and energy and strong will of his whole life, at his de- votion to science, at his laborious prac- tice, his hospitalities, his holidays, his keen love of art and his friendships, and it is impossible to measure, the height to which through 80 years he rose that he might attain the .consum- mate triumph of his final old age away from the world."e s,,J.s .(..,e.4 -l..
 True greatness never happens. Men can conquer physical forces for suc- ceeding generations, but battles of the soul no man can fight for another. There is no greater victory in life than the victorious old age, but it can be attained only by those who have learned to conquer in theryears of strength and power. They and they alone can win the "consummate tri- umph.'
