RUSSIAN PARISH PRIEST.
How He Is Regarded by Peasants
Over Whom He Wields
Power.

"Our priest" says the young Russian
peasant, who. through the mouth Of
Ernest Poole in Everybodys, describes
The Night That Made Me a Revolu-
tionist," had been the priest to our
grandfather. All Of us children, and
even our mother 40 years before, had
been baptized by him. He was a tall,
thin. hard-eyed old man, in black
gown; he had long beard and stiff locks
of gray hair down over his shoulders;
his bony face was always tight and
stern; his eyes were dull his deep voice
was slow and never had a glad sound
In IL. He had no friends. but just rode
along the mountain roads alone; all OF
us children and even the old people.

Once when | was very small. was

the only time | ever saw him try, and
the smile was just a grin, with no life
In 1t. There was an old story that his
wife had not been afraid and had

THE cOLORS OF SYRIA.
Marvellous Warmth and Depth Mark
the Landscapes Of That
Country.

The crowning glory Of Syrian land
scape, however, Is its brilliant coloring.
Before | left America II seemed to me
that the vivid tints of Tissot's pictures
must be exaggerated, but they fall short
of the reality, says the World To-day. or
course, no artist can hope to reproduce
the marvellous warmth and depth OF the
colors In an eastern landscape, or to
initiate the vague, soft hues that are SO
characteristic of the Syrian atmosphere;
but 1t would be almost as impossible for
him TO find tints that were overnight or
to arrange them In an order too daring
to be matched by the Syrian sun.
The very nights are full of color. The
moonlight is so brilliant that 1t Is easy
to read guide book; and, even on a
moonless night, and in the wilderness,
far from any citys glare, the starlight
has been 80 bright that | could see the
second hand of my watch and could find
quite distinct shadow cast by Jupiter.
A moonlit scene at home gives only the
impression of light spots and dark
spots; everything Is black or white or
gray. but here in Syria the moonlight
shows all the colors of the rainbow. The
green of the trees and grain, the red OF
the tile roofs, the blue of sea and sky
and the white of the distant mountains
are softer and more delicate, but hard
ly less distinct, one from another, thar

But the sunset colors are the best ot

To this day the majority OF the male ele-

head of the big wholesale paints and
wallpaper firm of Heystek & Garfield,

daughter of a poor family. have again
proved the saying.
Every morning Heystek, on his

out who she was, but there was no
mutual acquaintance to introduce
them, and Miss Weiss was not the
sort of girl to become acquainted with.

Despairing of being able to meet
her, Heystek sent her a big box OF
American Beauties on Christmas, hop

did not, for Miss Weiss hadn't the
least idea who sent them.
Just after New Years his firm ad

sofa Farmer Discovers Message
from Members Of the Fa-
nous Expedition.

st. Paul. Minn.-After more than
three centuries a record of the De Soto
expedition has been found on the shore
of Lake Itasca under a huge boulder,
where 1t has lain undisturbed. The
record, written on the skin Of an ante
lope, was found by Chester Gray. a
farmer living on the shore of Lake
Itasca, which is the source of the Mis-
g'ssippi river. He will send the record
TO the Smithsonian institution in
Washington.
The boulder under which the ante
lope skin letter was found had aroused
Gray's curiosity and finally he blasted
II away. Buried under 1t and still well
preserved he found the skin.
The record, which is barely legible,
is dated August 8, 1547, and signed by
Ferdinand Villena and Sancho Cueva
members of De Soto's exploring party
who in the letter say they have named
the lake, whence arises the great river
in which De Soto had been buried six
years before, Lake De Soto"
