A story is told OF a German teacher
at an American girls college who was
not thoroughly acquainted with the
English language and the college slang
had not helped her in solving the puz-
zlc. She had heard the girls talk about
going OF on larkS. Returning one day
from picnic she said 10 some Of the
girls, "Oh. l have been on such a cana

A FEW
WORDS ABOUT
J0BPRIN7INC

1t used to be that the quality of
Job Printing did not amount 70
much, so far as success in business
was concerned. Any business man
or woman could get along fairly we'll
without It, But We live in another
and altogether different era.
Today it is necessary for business
people to have neat stationery if they
intend to occupy a prominent place
among their competitors.
When you see piece of job print
ing crowded and the type jammel
too close together, with dirty-looking
ink aud finger marks smeared over
It, on low grade Of paper. it doesn't
speak well for the firm which uses it.
In fact, YOU don't have the same
opinion Of that place as you have of
the man whose stationery is clearly
printed with good ink on the beet
grade Of paper.
The quality of stationery reflects
the standing Of ones business. Ii +.
therefore duty YOU owe to yourself
to have good printing.

Case Tried in Police Court With De-

Trials in the Police Court with the de-
PENDANT absent, are rare.
Judge O'Neal. on the bench in the Dis
trict branch Of the Police Court. while
Judge Scott is on his vacation, called
the case OF Mrs. Susan Riley, of 1890
Vermont Avenue northwest, on a charge
of keeping a vicious dog. this morning.
She was III in bed at her home. At
torney Keigwin. who represented the de-
PENDANT, said she was unable to attend
court. Judge ONeal said he would pro-
coed with the case.
Charles Lang. a negro, living at 1916
Vermont Avenue northwest, testified
that he was bitten in the leg by Mrs.
Riley's fox terrier dog. while passing
her house several days ago. He stated
positively that the dog drew blood from
his leg. Afraid the dog might bite him
again, he asked that the court order

before Lang was bitten.
The court was informed that Mrs.
Riley would not let the dog run at large
any more, and asked that the case be
dismissed.
Despite the testimony of Lang and the
boy, that they had been bitten, Judge
O'Neal held that the charge of keeping
a vicious dog preferred against Mrs
Riley had not been made out. and dis
missed the case.

Foe to Progress, Hated,
PIehve Was Long Doomed
Assassination Justified as a Statutory Crime
Only Method Open to Dispose of
the IrOn-HeeIed OppresSOr

In a real sense. Plehve was the man
behind the throne" In his hands the i'm
possible Nicholas II, vacillating between
political dilettantism and moral
cowardice. was Il useful tool.
When the minister found himself
thwarted in his reactiOnary policies by
Witte, the enlightened minister OF
finance, he prevailed upon the Car to
clear the way for an unrestricted back
ward march. Witte was kicked" up
stairs by being made president of the
committee of ministers, and PleSke, q
ntrusted with the financies of the en-
pire.
Then Plehve set to work 10 destroy
whatever OF good that Witte had build
ed.
The former minister had established al
agricultural commission, composed OF
landowners, who were TO act as a DELHI
erative body to devise means for the
Improvement of the farmers, the great
body Of the Russian people. Such d de
Lucrative body savored too much OF
popular government.
Although the commission still exists
and Witte remains its chairman, its eff
tectiveness was completely nullifed. In
Order to convince the farmers of the
folly of Whites reform PlehVe actually
caused the arrest and trial of several
of the members of the commission
charging them with treason, in that they
had pointed out some of the defects OF
the present system.
The agricultural commission. be il re-
membered. was regarded as one of the
pet projects of the Car.

The assassination of Plehve has ere
ated a panic in high official circles.
The tragedy completely overshadOwS
the disastrous events of the war. II is
not merely the individual crime which
appalls. but the knowledge Of what IL
fOrebodes.
The police possess clues which lead TO
the conclusion that NJ. PlehVes muir

pared plot. The authorities are con-
WINGED that the assassination is a link

LONG PROCESSION TO SIBERIA
ON ASSASSINATION OF CZAF

Plehve won the attention and the re-

distinguished himself in the prosecution
Of rEe assaSsins.
In this prosecution he ran amuck, ter

started a pitiable procession of highly

SON OF POOR NOBLEMAN
AND WAS EDUCATED FOR LAW

Outside of his official life the career
of Plehve presents little of interest.
He was born in Poland, in 1898, the
son Of a poor nobleman. He then be
came the protege of a wealthy Polish
noble.
He went TO Moscow, where ne was
educated for the law. and was appoint
ed assistapt 10 the procurator OF the
Moscow courts.
He was Flooding. persistent and of
strong but not brilliant mentality. He
early developed a capacity for intrigue
as well as hard work. He became i'm
perial counsel of the courts Of Warsaw
and there began the unrelenting warfare
against his own Polish feIIow-cOuntry-
men which won him much applause in
the world Of Russian bureaucracy and
much hatred In Poland
