ST. PETERSBURG, June 1.-The i'm
mediate realization of the imperial re-
forms seems the only thing which can
save the government from the wrath of
the populace. The truth is now known
to the humblest people in the capital
and will soon spread throughout the
empire, and the mutterings of the peo-
pie are certain to have an ominous
effect on the army at the front.
1t is feared that the revolutionaries
and socialists are planning to take adj
vantage of the governments discomfi-
ture by exciting demonstrations and
renewals of strikes. AS a precaution-
ary measure more guard regiments
have been ordered back from camp,
and additional Cossack reinforcements
have been brought to st. Petersburg.
The liberals also consider that the
that the time has come to strike. Their
press no longer asks-it threatens. The
Slovo this morning menaces the gov
ernment, boldly declaring that, if it
does not give what the people need,
the latter will take it.
"Russia's Disgrace" the Slovo says,
sis not due to the people, but to the
gentlemen who have been misgovern-

them he had been subject to attacks
of kidney trouble for years, in fact,
ever since he left the army. The pains
across the small of his back were at
times so severe that he could scarcely
walk, could not sit still nor rest at
night. He doctored great deal but
without obtaining more than tempo

different. They promptly and thor

the manager bowed most politely and

Your bill is all settled. sir. We
never charge advance agents anything,
because then they are sure to send the
company to stop with US
Il don't know whether the manager
expected to get even with the COM
pany, but do know he was the most
courteous gentleman I had met in the
hotel line, so 1 gave him about $40
worth of passes, and instructed the
members of the company to be sure
and stay at his hotel.
This was the only eastern hotel
where 1 stayed free, but out west the
hotels are very generous. One of the
finest Christmas dinners I ever had
was eaten at a hotel in Seattle, where
I stayed two days, and the manager
never charged me a cent, and even ac-
cepted passes with reluctance, because
he said he liked to encourage good
business at the theaters and therefore
always paid for his seats.
My railroad transportation all over
the continent did not cost me one cent
until I reached Pittsburg. There,
much to my amazement, I encountered
passenger agent who refused to
write passes over his railroad, but had
the nerve to ask me for passes to see
the play.

to give him pass, and paid for my

vance agent whether he gets his rail-
road ticket free or not because if he
has to pay he simply charges the
amount up to the company. His hotel
bills, however. and other expenses
must be paid out of his own pockets.
Among the things which L did free
of charge on this western trip, dis
tributing passes with discretion, were
the following: Rode up Pixies Peak,
took a steamship ride to Santa Cata-
lima island from Los Angeles, meals
and state room included both ways;
had the use of a $1,000 automobile
during three weeks in San Francisco
and took daily rides through Golden
Gate park; had Pullman free from
New Y ork to Chicago, Chicago to St.
Louis, st. Louis to Kansas City, and
San Francisco to Portland; received
badges of admission at race tracks at
Oakland and Los Angeles, good for en-
tire meetings; had a carriage to and
from hotel in every big city; received
an annual pass for the sightseeing cars
and automobiles in every big city in
the country, all these being operated
by one concern: was presented with
enough cigars to half fill the tray of

I could drink in Chicago and San

trunk, and in general received a great
deal for nothing. New York Sun

and a humble bee came sailing along
and missed his head by half an inch.
There were no robins or bluebirds
singing, but it was easy to imagine
that such was the case, and he drew
long breath and said to Mrs. BoWser:
by thunder, but this is living, this
is! Do you know, I'm almost a mind
to trade our place here for farm.
Just look around you and realize how
soft and gentle everything is. No. one

Il am glad you feel good over it, -
replied Mrs. Bowser, as he began
spading, but she was certain in her
own mind that something would hap
pen to put him out before the night
was over.
Mr.. Bowser put his strength into his
work, and at the end of half an hour
he had the back yard pretty we'll tom

never intended the back yard to be
used as a garden. That was the rea-

shavings. It could be turned into a

stepped on my foot and called me a

called him a liar. and intended to go
out after dinner and lick him. Yes. I
was going to pound him to a jelly, but
the idea has fed far, far away If he
should come along here now and ask
me why I didn't use the back of my
neck for my throat, I'd only laugh at
him. The closer one gets to nature
