RUSSIA, LAND OF oRAFTERs.

To Petersburg came three Ameri-
can business men to secure a gold
mining concession. There are S51
places where gold is found in Russia,
and our friends wanted the privilege
OF working one of those 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 program. Now for the ir-
regular. illegal part. They kept in
their room at the Hotel Europe bag
of hard. cold cash in golden rubles.
This cash they doled out in INSTALL
ments, first to this prince. then to that
count, for influence" Each time they
handed out the money they were told
that their proposition had been found
good. and promises we're made that
the concession would be speedily
granted. Each time the would-be con-
cessionaires believed that they had
accomplished something, and each
time they were disappointed and had
to refill the money bag. The weari.
some delay In the negotiations con-
tinued week after week; technical OBJ
stacles, each more serious than the
preceding one. were brought forward;
and SO weeks grew into months, and
the Americans were not one step near
er the goal. Deciding that bankruptcy
would come before any kind of def
mite conclusion could be obtained,
they went away with what cash they
had left and an accumulated amount
of disgust. Their $4,000 was returned
with all legal formalities, but consid-
erably more than that sum was left
in the hands of the princes and counts.
Such has been the experience of many
other Americans seeking to do bust
ness In Russia--each in sheer despera.
ton abandoning his enterprise.-Gil-
son Willets In Leslie's Weekly.

BOOMERANG OF GREED.

The failure Of ID. J. Sully, the cot.
ton Spectator. IL merely another in
stance Of overreaching greed. II Mr..
Sully had been content with n mod
crate profit of a million dollars, or
perhaps Of three or four millions, he
could undoubtedly have come off with
a whole skin when cotton reached the
abnormal figures of the last OF Janu-
airy. But like other men intoxicated
by success, he was not satisfied with
his achievement. The fascination OF
the game" or greed for money-they
amount practically to the same thing
urged him into another bull move
ment. He believed he could put cot.
ton to almost any price he pleased
and he failed.
The case is by no means peculiar.
The successful Spectator who be.
comes overconfident. tries to run a
corner and Is pulverized in the at
tempt, Is familiar figure IN American
market history. Natural laws which
are always at work eliminating the
unfit rarely allow the too greedy spec.

him, but az a rule the man who tries

cts is overwhelmed, lie may win for
a time-whom the gods would destroy
they first make mad-but in the end
he rarely survives.
Yet the failures that strew the path
do not deter other ambitious and
grasping men from setting out on the
same course. Every new aspirant
imagines that he will prove too smart
to be caught. The mistakes of others

that he is defying the law that COM

WISDOM OF MODERATION.

Instead Of contemplating new ave-
nues for extravagant display of force
or wealth, let the country consider the
wisdom Of moderation. It has been
suggested that public debt under
certain conditions serves wholesome
purpose In restraining waste and
checking those enterprises which have
no other inspiration than national
vainglory or ACKNOWLEDGMENT. "Pri-
vate credit is wealth; public honor
Is security"
The nation that needs to consids :
economy Is not consuming vast wealth
and exploiting immense resources In
huge and monstrous ornaments that
challenge the world. She Is likely, in
deed. to avoid offense to other nations.
to be slow to anger. and to cultivate
the rewards OF peace. Instead of seek
Ing distinction as the exponent OF
mere splendid materialism. such q
people would meet the magnificent de-
scription that was made by the poet
Milton:
"Enfamed with the study OF learn
Ing and the admiration of virtue;
stirred up with high hopes OF living
to be brave men and worthy patriots.
dear to God, and famous to all ages"

THE VALUE OF TREES.

In many parts of our country farm
ing would be impossible but for the
trees, such is their influence upon
the streams. They regulate the wat
er supply. and their tendency Is to
prevent both floods and drought; they
supply fuel. one of the greatest neces-
stiles of life. and they furnish the
lumber for the building of our cities.
railroads, ships. and a thousand other
things without which our present state
of civilization would not have been
possible for ages, II at all. This is
Why we should be careful of our for
ests, which are fast dwindling away
In many sections; this Is why we
should legislate against safeguarding
In the forests. and against all other
practices which tend to cause forest
fires. and why we should try to pro-
tect our trees from their natural ene-
mics. such as landslides, floods, in
sects and fungi. And II Is well To bear
In mind the fact that we cannot re-
place IN fifty years tree which we
can destroy In an WomaI's

VAST IRRIGATION SCHEME.

The cost OF rrigating the arid lands

fact that the government will be able

Yellowstone National park. in north
western Wyoming, that natures won

sulphurous origin among the Yellow

Of attention from medical men.
Mr.. l. F. Noulton OF this place
claims that he has solved the prob

Il had this acid trouble myself for
years. At times the Kidney secre-
tons would be very profuse and at
other times scant. but the acid was
always my greatest trouble. Medicine

SUBMARINE HAZARDS.

The death Of eleven men In the
British submarine boat A as re-
suit Of collision with merchant
steamer is the first fatality that has
followed an accident to a modern
craft Of this kind when ready for serv-
ice with matches battened down. The
early attempts at underwater naviga-
ton OF course were only form of
suicide. but the submarine boat of the
latest type when properly handled.
seems to be as safe as anything that
takes the chances of the sea. When
the Moccasin was cast adrift in
storm she rolled ashore, and after
pounding on the beach for several
days was finally hauled of as good
as new. Any surface torpedo boat aft
er her experience would have been a
total wreck.
Even the British boat that has Just
had SO tragic an experience does not
seem to have been injured by a blow
that probably would have sunk bat
tleship. The lesson Of her experience
Is the particular need of vigilance on
the part Of the lookout on boat
which. being invisible. cannot depend
on other craft to do any of her watch
ing for her. Perhaps, too, the peri
scope the eye of the submarine, may
DO opened to improvement.-New
