NO BOUNDS TO HIS LOYALTY
Balloon Vender Celebrates Recog-
nition by Duchess by Throw
ing Wares Away.

A pretty little incident was recent
" witnessed in Moscow in connection
with the imperial children OF Russia
While driving in the fair ground with
her sisters Grand Duchess Olga espied
a peasant offering colored balloons for
sale. Giving an order to stop the
carriage, she called the man to her
side and selected several balloons for
herself and her sisters, for which she
rewarded the astonished peasant with
a ten-ruble piece. The gratified mou-
jik in vain endeavored to stammer
out his thanks to the little princess
and at the same time, in the charac-
teristic Slavonic manner, he crossed
himself and called on all the saints
to witness his good fortune. Then.
in a sudden excess of loyalty and
abandonment, he cut the string which
held the remaining balloons together,
and allowed all his stock In trade TO
float away together.

Wooden Russia.

Few people who have not Travelled
about the Russian empire can imagine
how boundless is its wealth in timber.
"Wooden Russia" is the name applied
to the vast forest areas of Russia in
Europe. which cover nearly 5O0,OOO,OOU
acres. or SO per cent. of the entire area
of the country. In Russia houses built
of any other material than wood are al
most unknown outside the cities, and
wood constitutes the principal fuel.
The forest belt called the "Taiga," in
Siberia, stretches in a direct line from
the Urals to the Pacific for 1000 miles
and is in many parts 500 miles broad
All this is the property Of the car.

II TOW any one can fail to

prevalent throughout the
entire Southland is a wonder to all
who give the matter a serious
thought. Certain it is that no one
who now visits this particular

an enchanting scenery which viii

Such scenery and visions abound
here. Go where one may, through
out the world and there is not to
be found a place where the climate
is so even and enticing as it is in
North Mississippi. Nowhere can
be found a soil adapted to the pro
duction of so many varieties nor
more choice outputs of natures

and clothes the human family, but
in addition, ornaments itself and
delights the inhabitants with its
voluminous growth of flowers from
the tender violet to the majestic
magnolia.
Nor is this all: its people, wheth-
err because of the climatic condi-
tons, the invigorating influences
of the SURROUNDINGS. or from inher-
ent strains Of blood, are of a class,
a caste averaging so high andclean,
and pure that a study Of it cannot
fail to draw to its shrine the best
and highest the world has yet de-

unto that world-famed Rittenhouse

The fairness of the women, the
healthfulness and beauty of the
children, the gallantry of the men,
and the high average disclosed by
the whole, is of itself an inspiration
to any honest inquirer.

Now as to the asphalt company
which appears to figure cOnspicu-
Ously in the mix-up. In a lectare
delivered before the students Of
Dartmouth College, Mr.: Frank
OF Mortified, Vermont,
undertakes to throw some light on
the matter. Mr.. Plumley was one
Of the judges Of the first arbitra-
tiOn commission to hear the claims
OF France and Germany against
Venezuela. Later French and
German creditors and President
Castro, Of Venezuela, selected him
to adjust some outstanding &C.
counts. It would appear, then,
that he had opportunity to make
some observations Of more or less
value on matters in Venezuela,
that may be at least interesting to
Americans at this time. So far
as We know Mr.. Plumley is a
trustworthy man. He said in his
lecture:

claims OF the New York and Ber-
mudez Asphalt Company, but IL I
we're the United States govern

the company's claim before en-
