Friction Between SWedes and Russians

Said to Be Increasing.
Stockholm, Nov. 14.-Advices from Lu-
lea state that friction between Swedes and
Russians in the north is increasing. Gen
eral Bobrikoff, governor general Of Fin
land, has ordered the bridge connecting
Sweden and Finland, between the cities Of
Haparanda and Tornea, to be destroyed.
Swedish authorities notified Bobrikoff
that more than half the bridge is OH Swed-
1sh territory, and that adequate measures
would be taken to prevent damage to that
part of the structure. They also stated
that If the Finnish end of the bridge
should be destroyed, ferries would be pro-
yided to ply between the remaining spans
and the Finnish shore.
Enraged at this intinnation. Bobrikoff
has commanded that all traffic between
Tornea and Haparanda cease.

very cheap If he had anything to sell that
decent people held valuable. But the point
to- which attention is called is that this
legislator sold his vote and committed per-
jury time after time without realizing the
slightest qualm of conscience or the ne
cessity Of shedding a tear until he found
that the prosecuting officer was informed OF
his iniquities and was hot upon his trail Of
crime Then it was that his head became
a fountain Of tears and his voice was filled
with lamentation. Then IL was that he de-
sired to expose his shame and profess
contrition in shed cheeks; nor did
he desire to shield himself from the gaze
OF the curious and the gibe OF the scorner,
but courted both. What explanation is
there for this remarkable conduct? Simply
this: found out. he realized that in the
public estimation the bribe-taker Is the
most repulsive of characters and that such
a reputation is about the worst that any
man could have attached to him. By his
tears, his confessions and his declarations
that he had resolved to purchase peace of
mind by confession, he perhaps desired to
express his belief that the man who be-
trays a constituency for more than a de-
cade is so repulsive a character that even
he who was guilty of the offense wishes to
have it known that he appreciates his own
shamelessness

United States,

Although Mr.. John L.. GrifIiths has not
given his time to the writing of books, those
who know his special qualifications for the
work will readily agree that in the choice
of a biographer for the late President Har-
rison no better selection could have been
made than he. AS a lawyer he will be
able TO deal intelligently with General Har-
rison's professional career, as a man who
has given attention to public questions he
will have full understanding of the ma
tional and international problems with
which, as senator and President, the In
diana statesman was concerned, and as
personal friend he will be able to write of
his acts with a sympathy and comprehen-
sion a stranger could not have. At the
same time Mr. Griffiths's intellectual poise.
judicial temperament and good taste will
insure perfect fairness and prevent over
praise and effusiveness in the treatment
of his theme. The friends and admirers
of the late President may well feel gratifed
that the services of one so well equipped
have been secured for the undertaking.

The seemingly inexhaustible fountain of
keen humor from which George AIDE derives
his inimitable fables of things as they are
is source of constant surprise to people
who catch themselves believing that some
time this fountain must run dry and leave
Mr.. AIDE thirsting in a desert of mediocre
commonplace. Some one has explained his
ability to go on and on with his "Adeisms."
He has trained himself to think along these
lines of wit; and as long as phases of life
appeal to him so directly he cannot but
turn out good little stories. He has GER
tainly scored another success in People

Co., New York. The cartoons Of John T.
McCutcheon, catching as usual the spirit
Of the tales, makes the little book fully as
pleasurable as the others that have gone

officer sent him an urgent invitation to be
present at a session of the grand jury. the
wickedness OF the thing he had been doing
broke in upon his naked soul and he fed
the State. Even the plea that he bribed
and was bribed to promote a righteous
trust and monopoly did not seem sufficient
justification. His first fright and anger
over. his next thought was of safety. After
consulting with friends he resigned his Of

He wept copiosuly as one by one he placed
