By future generations Oct. 30, 1905,
will be bracketed with June Is. 1915,
and July 4, 1776. for 1t will be re-
garded as the date of the Russian
Magma Charta, the Russian Declare
ton Of Independence. Before that
day the general discomfort fomentsd
by the Radicals and the Moderate Lib.
erals, had manifested itself in many
minor outbreaks, and had finally cul-
minated in a very widespread strike.
Railroads were tied up, factories shut
down, the telegraph was silent and the
newspapers ceased to appear. Although
there was serious rioting at many
points the violence was less than
might have been expected. On the
whole the Russian people seem merely
to have sat down, folded their hands,
and waited until the substantial con-
cessions they asked for were granted.
What violence and intimidation had
failed to accomplish, this passive re-
sistance succeeded In bringing about.

The very word Czar has forever lost

University Of Louisville. A powerful
element in the city and the State, the
men who had been holding the power
Of the State for scores of years, the
conservatives and the aristocrats, were
committed to keeping Kentucky a
slave State. When the war came they
strove to commit the State to the Sc
cessionist cause. Against this element
Speed threw all his talents and infiu
ence. To him as much as to any one
man may be ascribed the refusal Of
Kentucky to join the confederacy.
He had become in his early man

true to the President. When the call

As A BOY IN GERMANY.

Incidents of Youthful ROosevolt's
stay in Fatherland Years Ago.
When In the summer Of 1873 the
Roosevelt children were introduced to
the Minkwitz family they had never
spoken German and conditions In Ger
many were altogether new to them.
Nevertheless, they soon adapted them
selves to their new environment, espe-
cially Theodore, who showed remark
able ability. A few days after his ar
rival Miss Minkwitz's brother came
home from the University Of Leipstc.
at which he was studying, according
to Louis Viereck in Success magazine.
and told the company German stu
dents joke. Everybody knows how
deep these are. This joke must have
been particularly good, for every one
laughed, most Of all Teddy. Fraulein
Minkwitz was greatly surprised at
this and asked him how he could I'M
derstand 1t at all. Thereupon Teddy
proceeded to repeat the whole story to
her in English in a way which proved
beyond doubt that he saw the point.
HE seemed to pick up things-ons
didn't know how" she said.
At that time Frau Rat had In her
service a good old servant girl named
Emily, who had an admirer BY the
name of Charles, fact which had
escaped the Minkwitz family's attcn-
ton altogether, although the girl had
stayed with them for some years.
Theodore had been in the house but
a few days when one morning he Gro
ated sensation by saying: Emile.
ich bin Karl; ich liebe dull! GENTLY,
1 am Karl; l love theevD
He was passionately fond Of books
on natural science, especially OF
Brehm's "Thierleben," which he stud
led eagerly. One day he got It into
his head that he must have a rat, q
mole or a hamster. When he asked
Miss Minkwitz where he could get one
she told him that she didn't know.
The lad then began to investigate for
himself and finally came back from
the city swinging in triumph. like Q
trophy, dead mole and dead German
marmot. He had discovered q man
who had white mice for sale and from
him he procured what he wanted. He
next went to work to strip the animals
Of their skins in the kitchen and pre-
pared to boil them in one Of Frau
Minkwitz's saucepans. But here the
good old Frau Rat interfered. He
therefore went to the back yard, built
/, himself a little oven from bricks
skinned the animals, and, after having
boiled them, prepared them carefully

Gulf Weed.

In China and other parts Of the east
gulf weed is often picked and used In
salads. 1t is found floating in vast
quantities In some parts Of the Allan
tic, Pacific and Indian oceans. Al
though a tropical plant, 1t Is occasion
ally carried by winds and currents TO
the British coasts. The fronds are
long, with distinct stalked leaves and
air vessles which resemble berries.
The presence of this weed on the At

Of the gulf stream, from which II
takes its name.-Pearson's.

TODD

Dig Ia a short and forceful word
that has been used with good effect In
the Panama debates, but that has led
of late to not little misplaced satire.
Ettcklers for exact definitions who
have sneered at the canal project from
the first are intent now on holding
that the command to dig called for the
immediate employment Of shovels In
the work of excavation. The simple
and obvious method was to line up the
shovels along the route and set them
going, after which we might take up
the inferior questions OF means, sup
plies and preparations. The govern
ment however, has begun with the
preparations. according to Secretary
Taft. Pools are being drained, swamps
relieved Of water. and In every way the
stagnant water surfaces and the prop
agating ground for the deadly mos
quito are being reduced. This is an
absolutely necessary sanitary precau-
ton. All but nine miles Of the Pan
anna railroad have been equipped with
