The World Was Made.

The world was made when man was
born, p,,s..
springs, 80 -.
III can never tnke warning from Old
fashioned things;
He must fight rs boy. he must drink
as a youth,
He must kiss. he must love-, he must
swear to the truth
or the friend of his soul; he must iausn
to scorn,
The hint of deceit In woman's eyes,
That are os clear as the well of PUaraaise'
And so he goes on till the world grows
old,
Till his tongue has grown cautious, MS
heart has grown cold;
Till the smile leaves his mouth, ana the
ring leaves his laugh,
And he shirks the bright headache you
ask him to quaff;
He grows formal with men, and with
women polite,
And distrustful OF both when they're out
of his sight;
Then he eats for his palate, an drlhRs
for his head,
And loves for his plcasure-and It's time

Among the Clubs.

Mr.. S. r. Stoddard's lecture, Under
the Midnight SUM-" given at the Wo-
mans Club last afternoon, was most IN
teresting.
The lecturers very fine and strong
descriptive powers brought before the
minds of his audience, Orkney Shetland
and the Raroe Islands, with their legends
and their picturesque people and customs
the primitive civilization of Iceland. with
its geysers, and its patriarchal farming
districts; the wonderful ruggedness of
Norway, with its fiords and its gorgeous
sky colors; Its peasantry and its Ham
merfest: Its great wealth of Scandinavian
folklore: Lapland, with Its distinctive
population and their reindeer herds; the
frozen desolate regions of the North,
reaching at last to the point of the pass
ing of the midnight sun.
Mr. Stoddards humor rendered his flow
of language and his powers of descrip-
ton all the more attractive to his audience.
A very large crowd assembled to hear
Mr.. Stoddard's account of these compar-
atively unknown countries and peoples.
Many visitors of distinction were pres
ent and the club parlors were especially
bright and we'll filled. A reception was
given Mr. Stoddard after the lecture,
and many Richmond people had the
pleasure of meeting him, and verifying,
through acquaintance, the delightful i'm
preston made by his eloquent talk on
the platform.

WHAT THE Philippine
TARIFF BILL PROVIDES

The new tariff bill for the Phil
ippines, which is expected to help
the islands a great deal and pave
the way to free trade with this
country, admits all Philippine pro-
ducts into the United States free
of duty, except rice, sugar and to-
bacco, which are to pay one-fourth
of the existing tariff rates. These
provisions hold until April II, 1909,
the date at which the clause in the
treaty of Paris which gives Spain
equal privileges with the United
States in trade with the Philip
pines expires. After that date
there is to be absolute free trade
between the Philippines and the
United States.

other house is the one on Massa-
chusetts avenue, which he occu-
pied before he became vice presi-
dent. All summer he remained in
a condition of uncertainty as to
whether he would renew his lease
on this or take some other house.
When he finally determined to
abandon it the agent notified him
that his lease had been renewed
by failure to give notice at its ex-
piration. Thus the vice president
finds himself with an over supply
of house room and an inflated rent
account.

REVOLUTIONARY LEADER, LIB
GRATED AFTER LONG I'M
PRISONMENT IN THE SCHUS-
SELBURG, TELLS OF FlEND.
ISL CRUEITlES,

Special Correspondence of The
Press.
LONDON, Feb. t.-For the first
time since the transformation of
the Schusselburg prison into the
Russian bastile in 1884. has a living
soul come out of its dungeons to
tell the story of his sufferings.
The Schusselburg is fortress on
a Neva island about 20 miles east
of st. Petersburg, and is used only
for the most dangerous political
criminals. AS a rule the unfortun-
ate beings who enter it never come
out alive, and the saying, "as dead
as prisoner of the Schusselburg,"
has become proverbial in Russia.
The recent amnesty of Oct. 80,
however. opened the doors to some
of the prisoners and one of them, a
Polish patriot, after being released
fled to London where he has told
the story of his suffering during 16
years seclusion in living tomb.
He is now 81 years of age, having
been imprisoned a, the age of 81
when a student at Warsaw uni
versity. His appearance. however,
is that of a man of so. He is
physically and mentally wreck,
his scarce locks are whitened by
the moist air of the prison cells,
and his features are haggard; the
vivid eyes alone show that there is
still life in the wasted body. His
awful experience has made him
very timid, and he declines to per-
NIT the use of his name for fear he
may be caught again by the car
and sent back to his prison cell.
This is his story:
