INTERCEPTED CARS MAIL.
An Ineidentof 0Hioial Business Which
Shows Bondage Of Rus
sits Ruler.

A very striking proof Of the cars
bondage was recently afforded when
the ear dispatched one of his personal
favorites, certain NJ. Klopofr, into the
central previncsS Of Russia to report
on the true condition of affairs there,
about which he had previously received
Official information. He desired, writes
George Weise, In Success, to test the
accuracy Of bureaucratic reports, but
he knew that letters from M. KlopoR
direct to fim would inevitably be
opened and suppressed II they con-
tanned StatemsHts of which offcialdom
disapproved. IN order to avoid this
espionage, he ordered NJ. Klopoft to
mail his reports 10 small envelopes Of
the pattern used for private letters,
not straight to the palace, but to the
address In st. Petersburg of certain
Gen. Hssse. Gen. Hesse was entrusted
with the secret, and be undertook per-
sonsfly to carry al the letters received
from NJ Klopon to the car NJ. Klo-
poh went on hts nission, but out OF 1S
letters which he posted to Gen. Hesse
for the Osar, oHfy five reached their
destination A. strong ruler would
doubtless make q vigorous effort to lib
crate himself from this tyranny, but
the car Is essentfally a weak man.
The unhealthy pale, almost gray color
Of his complexion betrays his want of
physical health and strength, while the
amazing Inconsistencies of his reign In
dictate successive s1trendsrs to conflict
ing influences. tits characteristic of
his weakness that he never strikes out
a new line Of thought or action on his
own initiative, and that his decision on
any given question Of policy is nothing
more than the choice which Of two or
more courses recommended to him by
different advisors shall be followed.
He Is never leader ike the German
emperor, but 10 continually being led

reprehensible habit was to give them
dose of their own medicine. So
bought this watch and began to keep
tab on them. No matter where we were
or what we were talking about made
1t point to look at my watch before
they could get chance to ring the
turn on me.
THE maneuver swept them clear OF
their feet. They didn't know what to
make Of IT, A few Of them got huffy
and stayed away, but most of them took
Q sensible view of the matter They
never asked for explanations and |
never volunteered any, but everybody
seemed taeitly to agree that the male
sex has no monopoly on ill-breedlng, and
that l have as good right to show a
disposition to get rid OF them as they
have to get rid of me.
Nowadays none OF US has need for q
watch. / can talk for 20 minutes At 4
stretch about the kind OF hair ribbons
] wore when q child, or dawdle two hours
over coffee and dessert, and not 4 man
ventures to call time. In fact. believe
the dear fellows leave their watches at
home when they come to see me for fear
they might look at them by mistake

CLUB HOUSE FOR BABIES.
New Institution in Paris That Is
Thronged with Children of
Well-to-Do Parents.

The idea Of forming club for babies
has been carried out by a well known
Partisan Journalist. 1t is called the
Casino des Enfants, and is in the heart
Of the fashionable playground for chill
dren OF the better class in Paris-the
Champs Elysees 1t is daily thronged
with crowds of merry faced children,
while on Sunday they are there In
hundreds. It is select, too, for the
membership entails an expenditure OF
ten cents per day, SO 1t is only the
children of the well-to-do who are to
be found there One enters the club
room through a carpeted corridor,
lined with palms, the main room OF
which is a beautiful large hall with a
roof of stained glass. Large mirrors
are ranged along the walls, and these
on dull days, when the electric lights
in the chandeliers are turned on, con-
vert the place into a very good imi-
tation Of fairy land. 1t is light, airy,
and cool, great comparison to the
heat and glare outside when the days
are warm.
Its purpose being to give pleasure,
the club is equipped with all kinds of
games and amusements. In the center
of the hall there is small merry-go-
round of bicycles. There are also sew
eral swings enclosed for safety within
a railing of bamboo, low seesaws and
rocking horses. Shuttlecock is IA
yorite game, and there are other pas.
