said Mr.. B. A. Morgan, to a customer.
Il think the better way is to let our
cigars talk for themselves" he contin-
ed. There is one cigar in our case,
the 'Wadsworth Bros Chico, which
is doing lot of talking, even shouting.
I consider myself fortunate in getting
the agency for it, as it is in reality
equal to any 10c. cigar and it costs only

maker, and the middleman does not

coming the best seller in my case, and
people who heretofore would have
nothing but 10c. or even 15c. cigar,
ask for Chico, and say they like
it. Better try one yourself and see how
good it is"

THOU SHAFT KILL"
New Commandment Now Observed in
Russia.

The Worlds Work sent DR.. Isaac A.
Hourwich, trained Russian student
and writer, to Russia to investigate and
write of actual conditions there In his
second article, Practically Civil War on
Russia" he says, among other things:
From the Baltic to the Black Sea, and
wherever the flag of Russia flies, the
commandment Thou shalt not kiln"
has been suspended. Aside from sum
mary executions by military gc~ernors,
the columns of the daily press are filed
with reports of citizens beaten manned
and killed-by the police. by the Cos
sacks, and by plain "Hooligans" affili-
ated with some patriotic" society. The
reign of terror is supreme.
Take, for example, a case that hap
pened in the very capital of the empire,
under the eyes of newspaper correspond
ents from all parts of the world and
which has been variously reported.
A regiment of the Empress Cavalry
guards were riding along Sergfus street,
singing military song A working girl
on the sidewalk remarked contemptu-
ously that they looked as If they had
just taken Port Arthur. Some bystand-
ers caught up the words and shouted:
Hurrahs for the Port Arthur boysr'
An officer of the guards riding near
the, sidewalk. had heard the girls re-
mark. He ordered six of his troopers to
seize her. The girl ran and hid in the
hallway Of an apartment house, but was
dragged forth and carried in a cab to
the guard house.
Take her and do what you please"
said the officer
The men unanimously declined.
The officer then called seven troopers
known as the executioners" and COM
manded them to give the girl twenty
five blows with their whips She was
then allowed to stagger away.
Though the affair was reported in all
the newspapers and the identity of the
officer was well known, he has not been
called to account. And at the present
writing. month has already elapsed.
This incident has been widely report
ed because of its news interest" Scores
of similar outrages are occurring in all
parts of the empire daily, but never
heard Of
Russia is In state of revolution. This
fact has been officially proclaimed by
the government in justification Of its
policy of repression, the like Of which
