Land of Grafters.

To St Petersburg came three Amer
lean business men to secure gold
mining concession. There are 85f
places where gold is found in Russia,
and our friends wanted the privilege OF
working one of these places. First.
they had to deposit $4,000 with the
ministry Of the interior as good faith
So much for the regular, legal part OF
the programme. Now for the irregular.
illegal part. They kept in their room
at the Hotel Europe bag of hard,
cold cash in golden roubles. This cash
they doled out in installments, first to
this prince, then to that count, for I'm
fiuence." Each time they handed out
the money they were told that their
protection had been found good, and
promises were made that the conces-
sion would be speedily granted. Each
time the would-be concessionafreS be-
lieved that they had accomplished
something, and each time they were
disappointed and had to recall the
money bag. The wearisome delay In
the negotiations continued week after
week; technical obstacles, each more
serious than the preceding one, were
brought forward; and so. weeks grew
into months, and the Americans were
not one step nearer the goal Deciding
that bankruptcy would come before
any kind of a definite conclusion could
be obtained, they went away with
what cash they had left and an accu-
mulated amount of disgust. Their $780,
600 was returned with all legal for
malities, but considerably more than
that sum was left in the hands of the
princes and counts. Such has been the

Il can't help sympathizing, said the
actor, with the vengeance that stage
villain took on his manager last year
An the West.
The villain was supposed, at the end
of the fifth act, to plunge knife in
his heart and to die very hard, rolling
and kicking all over the stage.
When his cue came he did plunge in
the knife, but then, instead of dying,
he lay down on the floor, crossed his
legs and burst into loud, long laughter,
the dagger still sticking, mind you, in
his breast.
The audience was amazed and stu
pefied at such unreasonable conduct.
The actors on the stage could not go
on. The manager, nearly beside him
self, Missed from the wings in a loud
whisper:
You fool, what are you laughing
at? This is your death scene.'
Death scene?' said the recumbent
villain. Yes, 1 know it is; and with
such salary as you give me death

located in the French Canadian territory
about the period of 1850. The central role

But TO the cries of pain the lighting men
