Constantinople, Turkey.-My Dear
Old "Shriner''-We got out of Russia
just in time to keep from being arrested

to 60 to Moscow, because he saw pic
ture once Of Moscow being destroyed by
fire by Napoleon, or somebody, and he
wanted to see if they had ever built the
town up again, but l felt as though
something serious was going to happen
in that country If we didn't look out,
and SO persuaded dad to go to Turkey,
and the day we started for Constantine
had thrown bomb under the carriage
Of the Grand Duke Sergius, and blew
him and the carriage into small pieces
not bigger than slice of summer sau
sage, and they had to sweep his remains
up in dustpan and bury them in two
quart fruit jar. Wouldn't that jar you?
When dad heard about that you
couldn't have kept him in Russia on a
bet, and so we let the authorities have
all the money we had, giving some to
each man who held us up, until we got out
of the country, and then we took the
first long breath we had taken since we
struck the God-forsaken country of the

CONFESSION is SHAMELESS
Maine Editor Tells About Furnish
ing Graduation Essays
for Pupils.

The time draws near when the very
good papers, of Maine will begin to give
the teachers advice as to how schools
should be conducted SO as to bestow the
most good upon the pupils, says the
Bangor News. 1t is then in season to
find fault with the average graduation
essay and the graduation oratory, and
tell of the horrible English and worse
sense that are employed by the under
duty can let pass the opportunity to in
sist upon a closer study of the English
branches, particularly to the depart
ment of English which gives instruction
in how to write essays and letters.
Let us see about this matter During
q more or. less close newspaper connec-
ton of some Is years the writer has re-
ceived on an average fully 80 applica-
lions for help year from undergrad
yates who did not or would not or could
not know or learn how to compose such
productions as pass muster at high
schools and academies and seminaries.
Of these requests-and all have been
most emphatic-perhaps the writer has
complied with as many as ten a year.
He has never received a cent in COM
pensatiOn for any one, though financial
reward has been offered in nearly every
case. In other words, the writer has
turned out more than 100000 words Of
copy for the relief of those who stood in
need of help. The topics have ranged
on ho' h -%o&
ties to how to make over the solar sys-
tenn so it can be Of most use. Most OF
the efforts have been read or delivered
extempore, it is hoped to the satisfac-
ton of the hearers. 1t is our belief that
nearly every other man who is con-
nected with newspapers has performed
similar tasiIs, and done so for the sake
of helping fellow sufferer out of hole.
If the foregoing presumption is COR
rect, can the pupils and undergraduates
be blamed for the errors which they did
not commit? If the samples of English
which we hear at commandments and
public exercises at schools are disgust
ingly poor. are not the helpful but mis-
guided editors to blame for the fault?
Let us not jump upon the undergrad
yates as class until we learn the facts
in the case. In all fairness as repre-
sentatives IF the human race, the per-
sons who compose the monstrosities,
and not those who deliver them, should
bear the brunt of condemnation. For
an editor to condemn the offspring of his
own pen or his own typewriter is very
mean.

Devoted japanese Nurse.

A pathetic story of the war is told
by a Japanese correspondent at Kobe.
Feodor Chesnetzky, a young Russian
soldier. was taken to the Red Cross
hospital at Matsuyama riddled with
shrapnel. All of his limbs were am
putated and after the operation. to
the anlazement of the doctors, Ches-
netzky lived for eight months, lying
quite helpless. He was attended By
Nurse Kawaguchi and he became 80
much attached to her that she would
cry like child when he could not see
her. Her devotion and tenderness
were such that she scarcely left him
for eight months and she was with
him when he died.

ming burglary, but when you both
went to the lodge one night, and stayed
till near morning. and dad came home
with red Turkish fez. and told ma that
you and he had joined the shrine, which
was the highest degree in Masonry, and
you and he were mobiles, and all that rot,
was on to you bigger than house. and
you couldn't fool me when you and dad
Winked at each otner, and talked about
ossing the hot sands of the desert.
II Well, dad brought his red fez along,
cause l think he expected he would
meet shriners all over the world, that he
could borrow money of. When we
struck Constantinople, and dad saw that
every last one of the Turks wore a red
fez he felt as though he had got among
shriners, and he got his fez out of his
trunk, and he wears it all the time.
Dad acts as familiar with the Turks
here as though he owned a harem. We
60 to the low streets, about as wide as
a street car. where Turks are selling
things, with dad wearing his fez, and
he begins to make motions and give
grand hailing signs of distress, and the
Turks look at him as though he had
robbed bank, and they charge enor-
nous prices for everything, and dad
pays with smile, thinking his brother
Masons are fairly giving things away.
He looks upon all men who wear the fez
as his brothers, and they look at him as
though he was crazy in the head.
The only trouble is that dad insists
on talking to the women here without
an Introduction, and a woman in Turkey
had rather die than have Christian
dog look at her. Dad was buying some
wormy figs of merchant, who was
seated on the floor of his shop, and Civ
ing him signs, when curtain behind the
Turk was pulled one side, and woman
with beautiful eyes. and her face COW
cred with veil. came out with cup Of
coffee for the Turk. Dad shook hands
with her. and said: "Your husband and I
belong to the same LODGE" and he was
going to go inside and visit the family.
when the woman drew small dagger
out of the folds of her dress, and the
Turk drew one of these scimeters, and it
looked for a moment as though l was
going to be half orphan, particularly
when dad put his hand on her shoulder
and petted it, and smiled one of those
masher smiles which he uses at home,
and said: my good woman, you must
not get in the habit Of jabbing your hus-
bands friends with this crooked cutlery.
though to be killed by so handsome a
woman would indeed be sweet death, -
but the bluff did not go, and the woman
disappeared behind the curtain. and dad
had the frantic husband to deal with.
I have never seen human being look
as murderOus as that Turk did as he
drew his thumb across the blade of his
knife, drew up his lip and snarled like a
dog that has been bereaved of q promis-
ing bone by brother dog that was
larger. The Turk looked through his
teeth, and his eyes seemed to act like
small arc lights, that were to show him
where to cut dad, and dad began to turn
pale, and looked scared. ..z. :. .s5..% {. N
