self.
Pobedonosteff's personal appear
ance is far from that of a cruel op-
pressor Clad in a simple black
frock-coat, he might easily pass for
a university professor. His face is
thin and ascetic. with drawn lips
and narrowing Jaw. His cold, clear
eyes are penetrating. his voice is
rasping.
In insisting upon the strict observ-
anoe Of the church fasts, he sets a
good example and on these occasions
he retires to a monastery and spends
several days in solitary confinement
while his food Is of the most mea-
ger kind.
When the present car was about
to marry Protestant princess. Pobe-
donosteff insisted that the car must
wed member of the orthodox
Russo Greek church and that Prin-
cess Alice of Hesse ought to be re-
ceived into that creed. The princess
consented to change her religion. but
she refused fatty to publicly curse
all members of other churches" that
being part Of the ceremony, and she
finally had her way. Within recent
years two of the most prosperous
regions of the Russian empire felt
the heavy hand Of the procuratorgen-
eral-among the peaceful Films and
the hard-working peasantry of the
Baltic provinces.
Many attempts have been made to
assassinate him, and when travelling
he is guarded quite as closely as the
car.
1t was through his initiation cou-
pied with the cunning connivance Of
the INSCRIPTIONS General Bobrikoff
that Finland lost her constitution.
her army, her free schools, her free
dom OF religion and became trans
formed from happy progressive peo-
pie to nation of starving slaves.
Pobedonosteff's persecution of the
Jews and of the Roman Catholics in
Poland has been merciless. Since
1890, 5000, 900 of Jews have been ex-
PEELED from their homes in Moscow
and other Russian centers. the min
ions of Pobeodonstefr have not scru-
pied to station Cossack troops round
a Roman Catholic church in Poland
with orders to fire upon the Worship
pers as they fled from it.
Whenever Pobedonosteff lays down
the reins of his cruel regime. he wfll
take with him into his retirement
the reflection that his fanatical zeal
has desolated countless homes. while
silent witnesses of his relentless per-
secution will be found for many day
in the whitening bones that mark the
long and deadly journey to Siberia.
Pobedonosteff is rs years old.

WANTED --H0TEL KEY
TOO BIG FOR POCKET

A fortune awaits the man who can
invent a hotel key that the guests
can not put in their pockets. The
hotel men of Spokane have tried all
sorts OF devices, but still the number
of keys carried off during the year
forms quite an item in the expense
account.
Brass tags of all shapes and sizes
have been tried, even styles calculat-
ed to jab holes in the forgetful one $
pocket, but to no purpose.
Notwithstanding the labels in
structing guests who carry off the
keys to atiix Scent stamp and re-
turn them, men who always pay their
bills promptly will carry off the bed
room key without conjunction and
throw 1t away without even thought
of returning it.
