Getting a Circulation.

ticle back" suggested the assistant
editor of the magazine that ..'pays on
publication H..
"Why?" demanded the editor.
because" replied the assistant, 1--WE
won't be able to use it for at least two
years.. e ~ 80.
"Great mackerel!" cried the editor;
'haven't you any business head at all?
Can't you see that to accept it is as
good as getting a two-year subscrip-
ton? Doesn't it dawn upon your feeble
intellect that if we accept it the au-
thor will buy the magazine every
month for two years in order not to
miss his story when it appears? Ac-
cept everything, sir; everything.
That's the way to get a circulation. p

ASSIMILATION OF FINLAND.
Changes recently Wrought In RUS
sia's Prosperous Province By
the Government.

Finland has been the most prosper
! Gus and progressive province of Rus
STA; the taxation has been light; there
has been large foreign trade; every
, encouragement is given to the liberal
arts; and the community as whole
is one of the best educated in the
world, states the London Speaker.
Higher education is within the reach
of all. Women may enjoy all the priv
ileges of an academic career. Colleges
,, have been established for agricultural
and commercial education and pop.
ulation of rather more than 100000
furnishes 1000 undergraduates. Yet
art and civilization are combined with
simplicity and economy. Plain living
and high thinking are compatible in
this marvellous land, where freedom
has so long fiourished under the aegis
of an alien and benevolent despotism.
@ But with the appointment of Gov.
Bobrikoff q year or two ago the whole
scene has been changed. The imperial
manifesto of 1899 marked the begin
hing of a new policy-the policy OF
Russifying Finland. The constitution
has been broken and the diet sus-
pended. The public record Office has
been raided, and the charter of Fin
nish liberty removed to St. Petersburg,
The post office has been taken over by
Russian officials and the country
sdooded by Russian police. Through
fput the civil service Firms are being dis
missed and replaced by Russians. Pub
lie business is almost at q standstill.
Many Films are emigrating in despair,
Epreferring the freedom of the new to
1.-The tyranny Of the old world. The
press has been gagged. Commerce is
Ito be destroyed by the application Of
1.-The barbarous Russian tariff to Fin
land, and the wretched Firms are now
Ito learn through CONSUMPTION the
meaning of suzerainty. Lord Sails
,, bury and his colleagues may smile at
the. overthrow of Finland as they
/ smiled at the overthrow Of Greece.
But there are many Ell glishmen who
regard with mingled horror and shame
that hateful knife Of Imperialism
which, having cut with cold, brutality
the! throats of two small republics, is
now being plunged into the heart of
the only free and prosperous COM
munity in Russia. =

"UncIe Joe" Cannon's One Slip in

The house had been called to order
the chaplain had invoked the bless

er Henderson, sitting in his seat on
the rOstrum, had asked the clerk to
read the urgent deficiency bill. The
bill was read; it was then 1910. Mr.
Cannon, in charge of the bill, had not
yet appeared.
Where's Joe?" asked Mr.. Hender-
sen, addressing Chairman Payne of
the ways and means committee, who
had wandered up to the Speaker
seat to PROFOUND a query. A meSSen-
ger was quickly dispatched to the ap-
preparation committee rooms, but Mr..
Cannon could not be found. Then
Mr. Payne and a half-dozen others
went Scampering off in different di-

For the first time in twenty years
he was late, and when he appeared he

One-ffth of the total pOpuIation-has
been sent to the car who failed to
pay any attention to it. The ministers
in many parishes have refused to pro-
claim the new CONSUMPTION law from
their pupils on account of it's unc0n-

the reading of the law has been inter
rupted by the congregations.
A scene characteristic of the tactics

Of the temper OF the people occurred
in a country church a few Sundays
ago. The regular parish minister,
having refused to read the obnoxious
law, although knowing that his refusal
exposed him to dismissal and punish
ment, the authorities prevailed on an
other and less scrupulOus clergyman
to do the reading.
The moment the stranger appeared
in the pulpit, venerable old member
