money under false pretenses.
In few months he has succeeded in
gaining a great number of followers,
who are exceedingly indignant at his ar
rest and that of his wife, who claims to
be the Virgin Mary.
Before the court he has confessed that
until few years ago he was non-com-
missioned officer in the Cars army. but
that he deserted because Father John,
of Nronstadt. appeared before him in a
dream and told him that he was Elijah.
and that a girl with whom he had a
love affair was the Holy Virgin
Since then he has amassed a large for
tune and has preached all over Russia
Once he was caught and placed in an
insane asylum by q governor who re-
fused TO believe in his prophetship. but
the physicians of that institution very
soon let him go. as he converted all his
feliow-patients into jealous believers in
his divine mission
The judge before whom he is now be-
ing tried is convinced that he is abso-
lutely and fncurably insane. though gift

he is now TO be placed under ohserva-

ago he wen. to Warsaw on official busi-

convict Alexius Michailow. who three
years ago had been banished to SAX

Further investigation brought out
that ne had escaped from the island
two years ago. The papers and pass

Looking Forzvard
By Wallace Rice

OOKING forward TO unpleasant
things is one of the commonest
l. forms of worry and about as
uncheerful an occupation as the
world holds. There are several anti
dotes for the habit. and one of the best
of them is the inscription that Thomas
Dixon Jr says retired banker had
carved on the mantelpiece in his IL
brary, reading:
Il am old, and have had many trou-
bles-and most of them never hap
pened."
Another antidote proceeds by the law
of dissimilars. You are to look for
ward eagerly to the good things that
come in the course of life-there are
more good things than bad, for most
of u.s. thank God.
Almost everybody would like to take
a European journey. Practically every
American who can does take 1t; so IL
is reasonable to suppose that the rest
of us would If we could and that the
only reason ave do not is because we
cannot But we all know we will when we
can and the point is to look forward to It,
1t requires nothing more than the
reading matter put out every year by
the international steamship companies

ing Guidebooks help great deal, and
secondhand ones can sometimes be
picked up very cheaply in the second
hand book stores or can be borrowed
from the public library. Books of travel.
of which there are many very well
worth reading. can be obtained In plen-
ty from the library as we'll. Most of
these last are plentifully illustrated,
and will aid one in coming to dect-
sion regarding the points of interest.
This is only one instance OF the
amusement to be obtained by looking
forward, and 1T is taken because IL rep
resents one of the most nearly univer-
sal aspirations of the American heart.
What you will do when your ship
comes in is another. There are scores
of things you would like to have. the
procurement of which-since they are
always luxuries rather than necessities
us necessarily postponed to the time
when there is money of an unexpected
sort available
It is surprising what an amount Of
qualification can be had from antfcipat-
ing the possession of such things. IL
you can only get in the habit of look
ing forward to them.
In fact. almost all the world knows
that the pleasure of things possessed is
