JEWS AND CHRISTIANS
Are Aiding Russian Deserters. Which
Now Number 10000.

NOW NufHOGT lOTOOO.
Cracow, Dec. 1S.-A combination
has been effected between the Chris
tian and Hebrew CONF ittees organ
lied for the purpose of aiding Russian
deserters.
The two bodies now work hand in
hand. and in this manner have greatly
facilitated the difficult task of avoid
ing government interference. The
Jewish committee. which carried the
phrase for the aid of Russian desert
ers,'' in it's official name, has elimi-
mated these words in response to a
hint from the authorities that the
phrase was highly Objectionable. An
attempt has been made within the last
few days to compile statistics rela-
tive to the number of deserters who
have so far appealed for aid. The eff
fort was not very successful, owing
to the great press of work which has
made correct bookkeeping nearly iTc-
possible, there being a lack of en-
pIoyes willing to work without COM
pensatiOn.
A rough estimate places the number
at 10000. However, this does not IN
clude the vast number of fugitives who
had means of their own and preferred
not to be known as deserters, making
their way to Vienna independently.

posed to have a grand Christmas cele-
bratiOn in the great mess hall, 10
which would be invited all the mem
bers of the troops at the station. The
captain and the lieutenant were, OF
course, foremost in the arrangements,
and to them was left the duty of is
suing invitations for those outside the
post. Ranchmen and their families,
merchants from the neighboring town,
welI-to-do farmers and indeed every
available resident who might contrib
ute to the pleasure of the occasion
were hidden.
To Miss Landers came two invita-
tons. one addressed in the grabbed
back-hand chirography of the captain
and the other in the flowing, artistic
style of the lieutenant. Which should
she accept? She determined to wait
on events and see where fate led. Fate
seemed very undecided at that point
of the affair.
No word passed between the captain
and the lieutenant regarding the in
vitation to Miss Landers, nor was there
any discussion regarding the manner
by which she was to get to the cele-
ton Of each 10 be her personal escort.
But the lieutenant reckoned without
knowledge of the intensity of the cap
tain's nature; for when he asked for
leave to so outside the post, the re-
quest came back with the curt indorse-
ment, Refused" That meant that he
must stay at the fort or be subject to
a period in the guard house.
The captain chuckled and patiently
rubbed the brass fittings of his big red
automobile He looked forward with
much pleasure to the coming ten-mile
trip across the smooth prairie roads in
the crisp winter evening, and he smiled
as he thought of the discounted lieu

At dusk the devil wagon careened

and swept down the slope to the bot

Hill to the Circle Bar ranch, where
Miss Landers was waiting for her es-

the twain would first appear. The
captain. well bundled against the pierre
ing cold, did not look to the south or
he would have seen a rider on horse
back making almost as good time a.

Keep Up the EIementaries.

Advance sheets of the report of
Superintendent Mynders are in the
hands Of the governor. One Of the
interesting deductions of the super
intendent is the calculation on an
average term of 100 days for the
school year ending June 80, 1905.
Mr. Mynders observes that the CRY
for an enlarged curriculum has led
to the neglect of drills in elementary
branches and suggests that super
intendents, teachers and directors
have no more important duty than
guarding against overcrowding Of
courses of study and neglect Of the
essential fundamental branches.
He speaks Of the secondary school
law as a good one, but declares that
no such school should be maintained
with less than two teachers. He ad-
vocates more efficient and better
paid county superintendent, sug-
costing the fixing Of a minimum
salary for the office and an enlarge
ment Of the duties and powers. The
superintendent recommends that the
law be so amended as to place agri-
cultural teaching in primary schools
and provide for its teaching in all
the schools of the State. He says
thai If the present system of school
directors is to be continued some
amendments to the law should be
made. restricting their authority
and fixing penalties for violation.
The report urges a general revis-
ion Of the school laws. Both the
University of Tennessee and Pea
body College are paid high tributes.
