The Russian Peasant.

The Rev Dr. George Washburn, who
uved in Constantinople for forty-six
years and has Just retired from the
presidency OF Roberts College, has
Travelled much In Russia and made q
close study OF the Russian peasant
To the casual observer the noujik is
uncouth and uninteresting. but he is,
In DIR. Washburn's opinion. The most
Interesting peasant in all Europe. In
religion he is an idealist. He has little
knowledge OF the scriptures. although
the Russian government fayors their
circulation. but when he studies the
Bible. the teaching of the brotherhood
Of man is that which most appeals TO
him. In many instances this ideal
teaching has been followed TO what
would in this country be considered
absurd lengths.
The peasants believe most thor
oughly in their religion. and carry that
belief to the extreme that they con
slider the Russian orthodox church the
only true Christian faith. 1t is argued
by them that the Christian religion
was first given to the Latin races. but
those races failed to extend 1t through
out the world. Then the Germanic
races received the mission. but they.
too. in Russian opinion. have failed.
Now, 1t is held, the time is ripe for the
Slavonic races to take up the work
and the true Slay confidently expects
that in order to carry out the mission
1t will be his duty to conquer all Eu
rope.

The House committee on counties

county of Platte, designed to take
North park from Larimer county and
to take also slight strip OF land

dents. signed, he said, by a great ma,
jority Of the taxpayers of that prin-
cipality. The new county would nave
forty-one townships, he said, territory
enough for county larger than Boul-
der. The assessed valuation of North
Park property last year was $798,000.
and the population was about $500.
This they held to be large enough for
all practical purposes. His descrip.
tion of the park was poetic, rivalling
that famous one In the court decision,
rendered in 1889. declaring North park
to be a part Of Larimer county.

COLORADO LEGISLATURE
Free Employment Agency.

One bill presented TO the Leeisls-
ture is of considerable interest TO peo
pie who have devoted their time and
energies to obtain employment for
worthy men and women. In the Den
yer City Hall, there is a free employ
ment bureau, which, during the last
year, has been a haven of refuge for
many worthy but penniless persons.
The bill in question provides for the
establishment of q number Of public
employment Offices to be under the
management OF The state labor com
missioner.
The bill was prepared by ]. F. Call
breath, Jr.. former president of the
Denver Chamber of Commerce. Police
Matron Imogene Clark and Mrs. Call
breath are working hard for the pas
sage of the bill which has the indorse-
ment Of the Denver Womans Club.
The bill was presented by Senator Al
exander.
Just a year ago the Office in the
City Hall at Denver was opened by the
WOman's Club and since then employ
ment has been obtained for Bis men,
women, boys and girls.
Such Offlces," states the bill, shall
be placed in charge of suitable persons
whose duty it shall be to make every
possible effort to provide employment
for all applicants therefor, and to make

formation about the applicant as will

1t is provided further that any per,
son in charge of one of these ofiices

Banishes Weakns.e, Headaches, In

Hundreds of women suffer from head
aches, dizziness. restlessDess, languor
and timidity. Few realize that their
misery all comes from the bad state of
their blood. They take one thing for
their head, another for their stomach.
a third for their nerves, and yet all the
while il il simply their poor blood that
is the cause Of their discomfort.

Prisoners Should Work.

In the biennial report OF the State
Board of Pardons Secretary Hagar rec
ommends that prisoners, as far as pos
sible, shall be set at work to reim-
burse the State for the expense OF their
maintenance.
There is no reason why prisoners
should not be supplied with material
and allowed to cut and make clothing
for themselves and for other penal and
charitable institutions. The same Is
true of shoes and other articles OF ap-
parel. This state spends Thousands OF
dollars III supplies for the four penal
and four charitable institutions which
might be saved. Mr.. Hagar would
like to see a broom and brush factory
started at which supplies for the state
institutions could be manufactured.
The bill for supplies of this kind at the
state house amounts to great many
dollars each year, and it runs up in the
thousands when all the institutions are
considered.
Another big item OF expense to the
taxpayers is in school supplies. such
as desks, tables, rulers. blackboards,
erasers. etc. A great many of these
things can be manufactured at the
prisons Not far from Canon City the
state owns a fine piece of coal land
and Mr.. Hagar wants the Legislature
to let that be opened up by the pris-
oners. They can mine enough coal
there for every state institution. and
thus save many thousands OF dollars
to the tax payers. At the same time
nobody is going to be hurt because
these things are In lines where they do
not interfere.
