WOMAN SPY IS UNDER ARREST
Beautiful Young Russian Accused of
Working In Secret on Behalf of
Her Government in Germany

Special Gable to The Herald.
BERLIN, Dec. 9.-Mlle. Zinaida Smo-
lianinoff, beautiful young Russian
woman, has been obliged to appear in
court at Leipzig to answer the charge
of perpetrating espionage in Germany
on behalf of the Russian government.
She has been "A prominent figure in
the most fashionable society of the
German capital for several years past
and came here with warm letters OF
introduction from prominent Russians
describing her as a woman of noble
family, with great literary accomplish
ments.
Mile. Smolianinoff passed as a woman
of independent means who dabbled in
literature for her own pleasure. She is
of distinguished appearance, gay, fasci-
mating manners and was a great So
cial success. She made many friends
among officers and high state dlgni-
taries.
The result of the espionage will prob
ably be revealed by the proceedings at
the LEIPZIG court before the case is
ended. Many former friends in high
society have been summoned to give
evidence against Mile. Smolianinoff and
sensational revelations are expected in
the event of her conviction.

GIVE YOUR STOMACH
A NICE VACATION
Don't Do It BY Starving 1t Either-Let
A Substitute Do the Work.

The old adage, "All work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy" applies
just as well to the stomach. one of the
most important organs of the human
system, as 1t does to the man himself
If your stomach is worn out and re-
bells against being taxed beyond it's
limit, the only sensible thing you can
do is to give 1t a rest Employ a sub
Stitute for a short time and see II it
will not more than repay you In re-
suits.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a
willing and most efficient substitute.
They themselves digest every bit of
food in the stomach i'll just the same
way that the stomach itself would,
We're it well. They contain all the
essential elements that the gastric
juice and other digestive fluids of the
stomach contain and actually act just
the same and do just the same work as
the natural fluids would do, were the
stomach well and sound. They, there
fore, relieve the stomach. just as one
workman relieves another, and permit
it to rest and recuperate and regain it's
normal health and strength.
This vacation" idea was suggested
by the letter of prominent lawyer
in Chicago. Read what he says: II
was engaged in the most momentous
undertaking of my life in bringing
about the coalition of certain great
interests that meant much to me as
we'll as my clients. 1t was not the
work of days, but of months; l was
working night and day almost when
at a very critical time my stomach
went completely back on me. The un-
due mental strain brought it about
and hurried up what would have hap
pened later on.
What ate | had to literally force
down, and that was source of mis-
cry, as / had sour stomach much of
the time. My head ached, l was slug
gish and began TO lose my ambition to
carry out my undertaking. 1t looked
pretty gloomy for me and / confided
my plight to one of my clients. He
had been cured by Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets and at once went down to a
drug store and brought box up to the
office
II had not taken a quarter Of that
box before | found that they would
do all the work my stomach ever did;
and as a rest or vacation was out of
the question for me. l determined to
give my stomach vacation. | kept
right on taking the tablets and braced
up and went ahead with my work with
renewed Yigor, ate just so much as 1
ever did and carried out that under
taking to a successful issue. feel

when the rains came a little later and
the water rushed out of the canyon

fire completed the work of destruction
in Los Flores canyon and when the
later rains come the difference will be

must confess that the contemplation OF
the pima, which is the trade-name for

leaves me cold. I don't think much of
it. 1t looks to be like a waste of good
material. Until a comparatively re-
cent date it was considered to be good
fun, a little rough, perhaps, but good,
healthy, clean sport, to get hold of

HOW THE GEAR is GUARDED
Surrounded by a Whole Regiment
and Has Personal Body
Guard.

So long as the car and cZarina re-
main inside their palace at Tsarskoe
Selo, it will be difficult for any terror
list to penetrate close enough to injure
them, though. of course on any public
appearance they are exposed to man
dangers; as witness the mysterious
gunshot which created such excitement
on the occasion Of the blessing of tha
NeVa, and which is supposed to have
been less accidental than the official re-
port declared. The Preobrangensky
regiment Of the Imperial Guards, from
which the protectors of the persons of
the cZar and czarina are drawn is the
crack regiment of the Russian army,
and the sovereign himself is it's chief.
Beside these, there are also a number
OF personal attendants who supervise
the cars movements, and, Of course,
there are the endless members of the
third section, which has figured so
much in all Russian affairs. They are
often engaged spying upon the men,
bers Of the cars encourage, especially
il there be any cas- to suppose that
they are in touch with the revolution
aries, OR in IN way suspect. Constant
suspicion is the lot of every one con-
nected with the cars household; yet
there is no greater ambition anon the
young Russian mobiles than to be enter
ed in the corps as pages. and thence
to achieve a position close to the cars
person.

Pennsylvania BIG TREES
One Is a Mammoth White Oak That
Is Thirty-Three Feet Around
the Trunk.

Prof. j. T. Rothroch, of the depart
ment of botany, at the University Of
Pennsylvania, and until recently state
commissioner of forestry, in an article
in Forest Leaves, the publication OF
the Pennsylvania Forestry association,
gives the measurement of a giant white
oak which he says is so far as he knows,
the largest of it's kind growing in Penn
sylvania.
This tree. which is near Kutztown,
Berks county, has an estimated height
of 70 feet s inches, and measures in
its greatest spread 104 feet. At the
ground its circumference is 81 feet;
four feet higher the circumference is
10 feet 10 inches, and at six feet it
spans IS feet and 4 inches. The article
mammoth tree, which is Of remarkable
symmetry and beauty.
There is, however, a still larger white
oak, growing almost within the limits
Of the city of Philadelphia.
According to measurements made by
Mr.. T. Marklay Wilson, of Thomas ave-
nue., West Philadelphia, who was assist
ed by Prof. Waldo, Of the University Of
Pennsylvania, this tree reaches a height,
found by triangulation, of 80 feet. The
branches have a spread Of III feet from
north to south, and from east to west
Of 115 feet. At the ground the circum-
ference is SO feet, at four feet, % feet,
and at six feet, the still greater circum-
erence of % feet 6 inches. Careful ex-
animation points to the age of this mon
ster of the forest primevaI as about 700
years. Unlike the tree at Kutztown,
which is hollow, this one is sound. There
is a tradition that under its sweeping
branches was held the last council of the
Delaware Indians. Close by are two
stumps of great size, one an oak and
the other a gum.
This tree is in Yeadon township. Del
aware county, just across Cobb's creek.
at the city line and north of Mount
Moriah cemetery.
