response in other sections Of Rus
sia, probably will DO decided Monday
with an adverse expression Of public
opinion. The lack Of union among the
leaders Of the preletariat organiza-
tons is playing against the success
Of the movement
The railroad men, upon whom the
success Of the entire movement de-
Ponds, are still working full time.
The leaders of the railroad organiza-
lions are hesitating about Issuing
call for tie-up. They fear being de-
serted and discredited by their mater
ialistic followers, who are no more
responsive to the avowed pretext OF
this strike, namely sympathy with the
mutineers of Sveaborg, Cronstadt and
Reval, than they were to the similar
reasons given for the abortive strike
Of last November. The railroad men
have been inundated by the recent
making of strikes affecting commune
cations penal offenses. The law pro-
yiding severe punishment was enacted
with direct reference to general
strikes.
The council of workmen's deputies,
which met secretly 1t Terioki, Fin
land, continued its session till late
hour Sunday morning. The deputies
were SO incensed at the timidity dis
played by the railroad men that they
decided to resort II necessary to the

WAS A Merry PROPOSITION.
Bat re Merchant Took it for Sub
iect for Lecture.

A man entering store IN his
own town-a small place-ap-
preached the merchant and ask
ed if he would exchange for him
a garment he had bought IN
mali or Ter house in a big city,
for a similar garment OF another
size, says an exchange.
The merchant almost tainted
at this man gall, but being an
ohlig1ng merchant he did not get
angry. He asked the man why
he did not return the garnet and
have it exchanged. Inc answer
was he would have to return 1t
at his expense and might not
then get what he wanted. The
merchant looked sharply at the
man to see if was joking, or it he
really didn't know any better,
and seeing it was only the latter
he agreed 10 make the exchange.
The man was protuse in his
thanks fol the accommodation.
Then the merchant speaking to
the man gently but firmly SAID;
MY trleld, you live III this
community. You own a farm
that perhaps cost you $40 or
$40 an acre, and 1t is now worth
$75 to 500 an acre, and yet the
land is not as good as when you
bought it. 1t is worth more be-
cause it is near a good town-to
this town that you and your
nelghbors have helped b~ild up
bv patronage, and while y II
were doing 1t you were doing It
YOU were unconsc oious of doubi-
ing and thrilling the value of your

Increase IN value. If you help to
build up Chicago how much will
it increase in the value OF your
farm? If you are short OF cash
and ask credit of your stores here
and you get it, it is favor to

the stores here you can exchange
