Witte q Railroad Man.

Sergius Witte. the Russian envoy
who represented his country in the
Portsmouth peace conference and
who has occupied positions among the
highest in the Russian government.
came from the ranks of the people. He
began his career as an assistant sta
ton master in a dun out-of-the-way
place in the south of Russia. That
was the lowest rung of the ladder
from which he climbed up to dizzy
heights of a power not far removed
from autOcracy.
In character sketch of White by
E. J. Dillon in the September number
of the American Review of Reviews,
his career is described He first took
service with the Russian Steamship
company. whose headquarters were at
Odessa. and which had built a net
work of railways to feed its fleet of
steamers with cargoes. II was on one
of these lines that White took service.
Only the first step was hard; after
that. promotion was quick and contin-
uous. Industrious and Observant by
nature and training. Witte was en-
dowed with the gift OF combining facts,
marshaling them in new ways, dis
covering relations among them there
tofore unsupported. And in the light
of these relations he would then draw
up practical rules for the guidance of
specialists or laws embOdying the re
suits of his observation. One of his
first works was a book upon railway
tariffs. Nobody in Russia had ever
hpfnrea falpn tho SIiuhfaCt int -,
the matter-nobody even then fancied
ii had any actually. Yet that very
question TO which White gave a good
working solution years ago still awaits
settlement in the United States. No
yfoubt the terms of the problem in
America are very different from what
they were in Russia-different in mag
nitude, and divergent in character. too
None the less, the fact that several
years ago Witte should have discerned
the part played by railway tariffs in
the material well-being of the country
is fair indication of his mental pow
ers. About the same period, he dis
played keen interest in political
economy and foresaw many of the pos
sibilities which the cautious applica-
tlol vi Ctl tam tSAdDIlSutu principles
babe fair to open up for Russia He is
gifted with an intuition little short of
prophetic. He fOresaw the war with
Japan years before it broke out, and
most of the salient events of the past
II months he predicted several years
ago. And had his advice been follow
ed Russia would not have provoked the
war. or would have prepared TO con-
duct it with greater wisdom and more
vigorously
When it is remembered that, even at
its best, the political and social frame
work of Russian society gives but little
scope for healthy human energies-all
the greater and more remarkable must
appear the rise of this station agent
to the high position TO which he has
attained

Julia carried her fathers message 10
Max
'aTell him." said Max. "that this day
week l will marry you in his house.
If he objects i will turn his eyes into
gold"
When Julia delivered this message,
Jerome paled. Gold eyes were no
compensation for the loss of sight.
Nevertheless he was very stubborn
and would not give his consent. Six
days passed. Julia made hasty prep
arations for the wedding. On the
seventh day, which was bright and
beautiful, Max drove up to the house.
He was followed by wagon contain
ing queer looking instruments. Jerome
looked out of the window and saw
his would be n-law, his nose glis-
tening in the sun, followed by persons
bearing braZen circles, disks, tubes
and spheres. Jerome trembled. Max
had evidently brought the implements
with which to shut out the old mans
sight forever.
Max stood out where the sun
could strike him and, looking up at
the house, saw Jerome at the window.
y bright spot WAS dancing about on
the wall, and Max seemed to have the
power TAP direct ii. In Il moment he
brought it to bear on Jeromes eyes.
With shrek, the miser cried:
Il consent"
Very good" said Max. Then l
withdraw the curse
Jerome rubbed his eyes and. finding
that he could still see, staggered TO
meet the astronomer and, falling on
his neck, begged Ism not to make an
other attempt that he should have
Julia on his own terms. This was
easy for Max 10 promise and per
form. for he had simply filed Il small
plane on TIE tip end of his nose and
FURNISHED it. Catching the reflection
Of the sun on ii, lie had directed the
vivid rays to the old mans eyes.
Preparations for the wedding having
been made, there was nothing to do
but send for Il priest, who came, and
the couple We're married. Max asked
the miser what dowry he intended to
give his daughter. Jerome trembled,
and going to his bedroom returned
with bag of gold. Then Julia got
into the carriage with her husband,
the instruments We're put back into
the wagon and all were driven to the
observatory.
The real name of the subject Of this
story is Tycho Brahe. He made great
improvements in astronomical instru-
ments, and by his observations pre-

DAILY SHORT STORY
THE NOSE OF GOLD.

IbrlSlNaI.I
Many years ago there lived in Den
mark IL youth who possessed a genius
| for research among the phenomena of
nature. This young man, whom we
| shall call MaXimilian. loved girl
| named Julia, the daughter of Il covct-
| Gus old man. Jerome SO long as Max
Nnd Julia We're simply pIaymates .Je-
| rome did not object. bnt when Max
! went to the university and returned
| during his course there. having taken
! great honorS in mathematics, and
| showed plainly that he. loved Julia.
and Julia showed plainly that she loved
| Max. the Old man objected. He was
looking for wealth, not intellect, for
his daughter.
Max is mad" he said. "Why, he
says the earth * Il globe and revoives
on its axis. that it is no bigger than one
of the stars we call planets. that the
earth and planets revolve around the
sun, whereas any fool can see the sun
and stars rise in the east in the morn
ing and go down under the earth in the
evening. l have no use for such an
idiot"
Max told Julia TO wait and returned
to the university. where he found him
self compelled to defend his strange
views at the point of the sword. In a
duel his nose was cut clean off. After
that he was obliged to content himself
with a gold nose. which he stuck on
with cement and wore spectacles to
secure it.
In due time Max was graduated and
became an astronomer. lie collected
quantity OF instruments and took them
10 an island where he watched the mo-
tions of the stars. The people there
came to regard him as a magician.
This idea was fOstered by his gold
nose. Women especially were afraid
of him and when he appeared would
snatch their children away for fear he
would turn them into cats and dogs.
One day n man who knew of Max's
reputation went 10 Jerome and told
him that Max possessed the power Of
divination. or sorcery: that he could
turn whatever he liked into precious
metals; that he had already turned his
own nose into gold. The old man
pricked up his ears. So long as Max
did nothing more practical than give
out his wild notions he was no match
for his daughter: but if he could
change things into gold. that was a
different matter. He told Julia 10 go
and find out If the report was true,
intimating that if it was perhaps she
might marry Max after all.
Julia made the journey and return
ed in due time.
Well" asked her father. lis it true
that Max can turn things into precious
metals:r
II don't know, father: his nose is of
gold
1T must he tie devil" unused the
old man. do You think he can turn
my boots into Gold:"
He says he is turning darkness
into light every day"
THAT is nothing TO me Go and tell |
him that II he VIII turn my boots into |
gold he shall have you for his wife"
