Life of the Russian Poor.

AS a rule Russian village Is a for
lorn looking place, where the huts Of
the poor are made of birch logs, with
upright oak or pine supports, ceiling
Of strips Of the same birch and walls
lined with the crude branches. In these
huts there are only two rooms, one of
which is not for everyday use, but Is
kept for best occasions. This room
houses those sacred images so dear to
the heart Of every member of the
Greek church, to which belong the
great mass Of the Russian people.
The other room serves the purpose
of both kitchen and sleeping room, as
one of the principal ideas Of comfort
to these people, ice and snowbound for
so many months of the year, is
warmth. In many Of the peasant huts
no beds are used and the top of great
stove, reaching nearly to the roof, is
much-sought sleeping place. AL
though the conditions make dirt and
accompanying results inseparable in
the life of these peasants, they are
devotedly fond Of bathing. The vapor
bath in a crude form may be called a
national institution and a not unusual
picture of a summer afternoon is the
village pond filed with women and
children bathers.-Social Service.

Yet, isolated as Rockall is, it forms,
nevertheless, the summit or peak of an
extensive submarine plateau known as
"Rockall Bank" which extends in a

known as Hazelwood Rock; while a

MEMORIES OF GREATNESS

What It Means to Be One Of the "GreaU
est Talked About People.
The Great Man was Citing in his
study enjoying a pipe with an old
friend and INDUCING in "reminiscences
Of his life.
For twenty years he had been in
the public eye, and no man had tasted
more of the sweets of notoriety. He
had seen his name work its way up
in the papers from the time when he
was first mentioned as being "also
present. at banquets to the culminat-
ing point where he was habitually the
guest of the evening and saw his re.
marks next morning under scare heads.
Scarcely a day passed but his picture
appeared in connection with some po-
litical triumph or patent medicine.
He had posed for his picture at all
hours Of the day and night, eating
and drinking, speaking and thinking.
He had been snap-shotted and had
both his actions and appearance re-
corded by biographs, cinematographs
and in living pictures. His words Of

mirers who had little more intelligence
than the machines. In short, he was
the man of the hour, and publicity
could do nothing more with him.
Presently his friend remarked:
John, you are probably the most
talked-about man in the United States,
and your name has appeared in more
different ways before the public than
that Of almost any other man. Now
tell me what appearance Of your name
in public gave you the most pleasure"
The Great Man ruminated over his
pipe for a few minutes and then re-
piled:
"Well, 1 think that I never got SO
much of thrill out of seeing my name
in public as I did when for the first
time stole piece Of chalk from the
teachers desk in little, old, red
schoolhouse and wrote my name in full
on the railing of the bridge on the

1t is probable that for ages yet to
come the quest for the north pole will
continue. Successive failures to find it
make dash" for it.
The newest idea in the direction Of
arctic exploration is for the use of the
motor car, as was, of course, only to
be expected. 1t is Belgian explorer,
Hendrix Arctowski the name is de-
cidedly appropriately, who has been the
first to consider it seriously, and his
hopes and fears are discussed in a
French contemporary. His ambitions
are centered In the south pole, which,
as we know, is guarded by land or
walls of perpetual ice, impossible for
ships. The use Of dog sledges is also
prevented by the fact that food for the
dogs must be carried, which definitely
limits the distance that can be COW
cred.
NJ Arctowski believes that by the
use of sufficiently strong and simple
motor, which will run in the coolest
weather and consume very much less
weight of stores per mile than would
dogs, the pole can be reached. His
present idea Is to use Canadian
sledges, to which are to be attached
"spurred" wheels, something like the
paddles Of a steamer, and capable Of
being raised or lowered, to grip lightly
or deeply, according to the compare
tive softness of the snow. Lghtness,

Dressmakers Who Succeed Must Not
Be Pressing About Their Bills.
A recent lawsuit in the courts be.
tween the president and vice president
of smart dressmaking establishment
has called attention to peculiar phase
of the dressmaking trade-the system
of long credits, entailing a large out
lay of capital.
Successful concerns have found that
'1ong credit" is not only desirable, but
essential to the financial prosperity of
their business. While many il the
dressmaking business have no hest
fancy in admitting their profit to be
100 per cent, they show conclusively
that their expenses are so enormous
that this 100 per cent diminishes to
so per cent and sometimes 25 per cent.
A woman at the head Of one of the
smart establishments says:
1.-THE wives of our multimillionaires
know absolutely nothing Of the value
Of money and never realize that the
modiste who gowns them may need
the money they owe to pay her own
bills with. Were she to present this
fact to them she would doubtless lose
their custom and that Of her set The
fat would go forth: DO not go to So
and Sos. They can't be any good and
can't have much Of trade, for they
are always dunning for their money
"You needed their money; you there
fore could not make smart gown,
and they would go to some rival estab-
lishment, where they would be vel
coined with open arms, and because
they had left the first modiste the Sec
ond would only too gladly give them
unlimited credit. This is one of the
reasons why long credit and good
names are essential assets of a sue.

with q shock, they moved into the

care for her and attend the wants Of
the customers as well.
Ten years ago she died and Marcia
was left alone. For time she had
more than enough work to keep her
busy, and did not feel her loss SO
keenly. But with the years had come
changes. With the removal of the
postoffice, the crowd which formerly
lounged In front ceased to congregate
there, and she missed their noisy
presence. When the public hitching
rail beneath the tree outlived its use
fulness and new one became neces-
sary, the town fathers decided upon
what they considered a more conven-
lent location for it, and the old one
was allowed to remain standing as If
to serve as q reminder of days passed
and gone.
Then came the milliner from the
city. At first Marcia had treated her
advent with lofty disdain. which
changed to resentment as she saw
those for whom she had made bonnets
since they were babies wearing the
creations of the rival establishment
and saw her trade falling off in conse-
quence. True. many still came to her.

Would Get the Tax Dodger.

''The people of Garfield county, our
neighbor on the west, are considerably
excited over recent discoveries regarding
methods of taxation in that county
says the Yampa Leader. Investigation
has shown that one farmer who has 200
acres of land under cultivation is paying
taxes on only 80 acres of cultivated land,
and that another who cultivates COO
acres pays taxes on 200.
-The Glenwood Avalanche. discussing
the matter, suggests that present condi
tions naturally force man to become a
tax dodger. The man who has for years
turned in an honest tax schedule, and
finds that his neighbor has been turning
in deceptive one, has to be dishonest to
be a man among men.
''The only practical way to handle this
matter Is to do as is done in many other
states. Let an abstract be published
annually by the county, giving in con
densed form the number of acres of land
assessed to each taxpayer, number Of
head of livestock, amount of other per
sonal property, and its valuation. Then
if your neighbor, whom you know to
have 200 head of cattle, has turned in
only so head TO the assessor, you have
the opportunity, and it becomes your
duty to report the fact to the county
commissioners, so that proper correction
may be made. The benefit from tins
system will not be so much in cure as it
will be in prevention, for whom the tax
dodger knows that he will be caught il
he falsities, and that lies will profit him
nothing, he will much more nearly re
turn his property honestly. The publ
cation Of such list would each year
