MAKES LONG PILGRIMAGE
Peasant Seeks Landlord to Ask Him
to Sell Estate

Correspondence of the Associated Press
VIENNA, Jan. IA Russian peasant
passed through Vienna on Christmas
day on his way back from a long and
tedious journey to Rome, where he had
gone to perform what, in the eyes of
himself and the members of his village
community, is a duty of simple honesty
and good faith. He was without bag
gage and was clad in thu heavy cloth
ing worn during the Russian winter.
He stayed here only {. few hours and
continued his journey to his home to
report the success of his errand.
The rural communication of the dis
trict of Voroneff, in the government
of the same name, recently held well
attended meeting and passed resolu-
tions to the following effect:
'First-To destroy no property in the
district.
"Second-To expel from the district
at once a man named Nicolsky, the
local agent of the revolutionary party.
"Thrd-To purchase the holdings of
the great landed proprietors of the dis
trict."
The largest estate belongs to NJ.
Narychkine, formerly first secretary of
the Russian embassy at Paris and now
Russian minister to the Vatican.
In order to encompass the third reso-
luton it was decided to send messen-
ger to NJ Narychkine. He was be-
lieved to be in Paris, so a peasant
named Nicholas Petrovitch Thernis-
chef was charged with the duty of con-
veying the peasants offer to their lord.
Thernischeff was supplied with money
and started on his journey. He talked
nothing but Russian, but in spite of
this he made his desires known along
the line and with a simple directness
of purpose which won for him the SYM
pathy and help of foreign railroad Of
ficials. he made his way to the French
capital. There he found the Russian
embassy. The first Russian words he
had heard in a long time Informed him
that M. Narychkine was in Rome. so
he decided to continue on to Italy. He
was placed on the right train by his
embassy in Paris and finally found M.
Narychkine in Rome.
The peasant made his purpose known
to the diplomat in simple language.
Our contract with you for the tilling
of your ground expires on the first of
January" he said, land have to come
to offer to buy the land. We do not
wish you to have bad opinion of us !;
we want you to know of the resolutions
we have adopted. We are poor, our
harvests have been bad and the times
are bad. We want to buy your entire
estate and we ask you to give IT. to us
at a price which we can pay and to
make an equitable arrangement as to
the method of payment. We desire to
be honest and we will not have re-
course to violent or dishonest ways"
M. Narychkine accepted the offer. A
fair basis of valuation was arrived at
and terms as to payments possible and
acceptable to the peasants were then
and there concluded between the pro-
prietor and the messenger of his
tenants.
In Rome Thernischeff saw the pope,
who gave him his blessing. In describ-
ing his interview with the pontiff, the
peasant said:
Il knelt before him, for / perceived
him to be venerable, good and sanity
man."
From Rome Thernischeff travelled
back to Russia by way of Vienna.

DR.. LaRue, as carefully as possible,
dragged the apparently half deal negro
from the pool of water, and I'm a tone
full of sympathy, asked his name
Pete Henderson," the man replied
feeblv.
(Which leg is broken?" inquired the
surgeon.
"Mah right H." replied the negro,
scarcely above whisper, at the same
time raising his right foot by way of
indicating the injured member.
"Well, Pete, l guess you'd better get
up and walk to the house-there's
nothing whatever the matter with you,"
commanded the surgeon.
Henderson did as requested. He had
stepped from the back door of the
saloon at 14O5 Main, and having taken
a few too many" he could not walk
easily. His wife had come out and
to her he said his leg was broken.
She caused the ambulance to be called.
Their home is just to the rear of the
saloon. Henderson had lain in the
water, the rain falling over him, for
a half hour, when he could as easily
have gone inside his house.
