that American women much given to copying

Then with the suddenness that characterized her,
she passed to another subject: How glorious it

nervous hands together, to discard ones husband

"And to take another?" asked.
She looked at me questionngly, her yellow-gra
eyes narrowed, and her tall supple figure drew up
in way that made me think of young tiger ready
for spring.
You do not like me-" she said, without either
regret anger in her voice.

touched me gently with her hand: "Why? she asked.

Just then Count Borloff came into the room.
Probably he had overheard good part of our

fingers twice. Sc | know now what kind of mission
airy you are. You make good, clever women who

Then he turned to Princess Nobaloff: You are
much more attractive, Princess speaking
from Russian soul than when you are talking
about American freedom. We admire America

Yet out of her pocket-money she had saved
enough to build school-house in the hope of helping
the peasants.

have failed utterly He is visionary, crank.
Another time the conversation turned to the
Government. Ali were bitter against the Grand
Dukes and the disliked the Empress
and the Empress Dowager but said word
against the Car, whom they seemed to like and
admire. Most of those in this house party were
required to spend month each year at court,
and therefore spoke from personal knowledge.

| asked whether Russia was in danger of a revolu-
ton. They all united in saying that there was no
possibility of that. To their way of thinking the
Nihilists a class of people more possessed by
a desire for martyrdom and notoriety than by any
consistent plan for the good of their country As
general rule Nihilists come from class which has
absolutely nothing to risk except its lives which has
plan for the future, and no among its men,
bers that could carry out any plans.
The Princess Nobaloff, the other hand was a
sentimental Nihilist and a sympathizer of the
peasants because she had been born and brought up
in St Petersburg and before this visit had been
brought into any close contact with the peasants

that there you could live in any way you might

The house where the wedding had taken place was
full of people dancing and talking. When

China's Ban ON American
Goods.

The extent to which American trade
is affected by the Chinese boycott is
shown in a letter received by one OF
the most important milling firms in the
W est from its agent in Hongkong. Not
since July Is, writes the agent, has ne
been able to make sales Of flour. while
Chinese merchants who had previously
given orders for September delivery
have Cancelled them. Not only is
American -four under the ban, but also
bread made Of -four imported from the
United States. Naturally this state of
affairs is not helping our trade interests
in the East, but there seems no way to
prevent it. The Chinese officials are
courteous and even regretful, apparent
ly, but they are doing nothing to lift
the boycott, and perhaps they cannot.
Should the embargo on American goods
continue Uncle Sans trade rivals in
China will establish themselves in the
field, and it may not be easy to recover
the lost business. The most exaspera-
ting element in the boycott is that the
Chinese right to refrain from buying
our products cannot be challenged sue
cessfully. Still the Chinaman is max
ing a mistake In some respects. Amer
lean manufactures are not only as good
as any which the Chinese have an OPP
portunity to buy, but in some cases
they are cheaper than those of our com
petitors in the Eastern market. And
the question of cost is one of prime i'm.
pcrtance in a country in which the
workingman receives few cents for a
days labor.-Sun.

Too Bad.

its too had there is no one to take any in.
terest In seeing to that the lawn surrounding
ST. Stephens church is kept in proper con.
d;ton. Tue adjoining properties on either
side stand in marked contrast to 1t now. 1t
was not this way some years ago. 1t was
ont of the remarked-on beautiful spots in
Thurmont it is a veritabe wilderness OF
weeds and tall grass and shows the absence
of those, who at one time had such deep in
terest in this piece of church property. 1t
being in the main thorougbfare. it is all the
more noticeable when In either good or
bad condition.
On this line we desire also to call atten-
ton to the city fathers of the unkempt con-
dition of the ground surrounding the Town
Hail. Weeds galore and growing, and the
gencr al appearing is bad. We have rec
ord on having beautiful town, with well
kept properties. so let us cndcavor to keep
this good reputation.
