Russia today is a monarch. The officers
of small companies are like robbers. Cap
tains obey no law but their own. At their
whim women and children are shot down.
II despise anarchy and every kind of
violence. 1 wish to declare on the czar
not a war of blood, but a war of educa-

sian peasants hunger for knowledge. for
books, for teachers, for Christian mission

situation. This reign of terror can be
stopped only in one way-the way of
peace.
''The first step is to present the czar
with a peace petition and liberty book,
This petition should be signed by mill
lions Of people in this country. Such a
petition and liberty book, containing the
opinions of the American people concern

fluence the czar to the right. Down in his
heart he may be sympathetic. He is only
part of a soulless political machine, but
he can WELD a great moral backing. We
can create an enormous army Of peace"
The petition to the czar asks for legis-
lative parliament and general suffrage In
addition to educational rights.

DO Christmas Buying Early

Al this period, when the Christ
mas holidays are so near at hand,
II is opportune TO take up the sug.
gestIon that people do their shop
ping early. Christmas is less than
three weeks of. and il is not too
soon to begin timely buying, as
much more satisfactory purchases
can be made, BY doing so you
will be able TO select just what you
want and not be hustled or jostled
about by the usual holiday crowds.
shopping among the Christmas
crowds is also burdensome aud un-
satisfactory to the shopper, II takes
twice as long to buy anything and
perhaps more than twice as long to
have articles delivered, and that de.
liberation in making purchases
which the ladies deem SO desirable
is hard of attainment in the over
crowded stores.
In certain number OF cases the
postponement OF Xmas purchases to
The very eve OF the festival is a mat
Ter OF pecuniary necessity; but in
many other cases Christmas shop
ping can be attended to as well one
line as another, and with this more
ortunate class the convenience,
comfort and physical welfare of the
employees of the stores should be an
'bject of generous solicitude.

Or words to that effect. They
didn't do thing last Friday night.
Early in the year the lodge was
divided for competitive rustic for
new members during the first half
of the year. They met with splen-
did success, just about doubling
their membership and the side that
beat did not have much of crow
over the other, but enough that
the penalty had to be paid, which
was a supper for the lodge by the
defeated side. This event came
off last Friday night. To make it
the more enjoyable there was a
victim for the second rank. and he
was peach. He learned his lesson
well and will make a noble knight.
The boys all had 1t in for him,
though, and the way he went down
the line would make a sphinx
weep.
After they had given their vic
tim all that was coming to him the
tables were spread and about so or
60 knights put their feet, spurs
and all, under them for an hour.
The walters never faltered until
every one was filled to the limit
and then came the smokers and
speeches. We have been at many
banquets and had the pleasure of
listening to many witty or impress
i've addresses as the case might be;
but we have never enjoyed any
function Of the kind qnite so heart
lily as this. We have not the room
to name all Of them but this notice
would not serve Its purpose If we
overlooked the splendid address of
Sir Knight w. J. Peddicord of
University Park. In terms which
were eloquently uttered he por-
trayed the real meaning Of knight
hood according to the principles
and intentions OF the founders;
the real meaning Of friendship,
charity and benevolence, and there
was hardly a knight or esquire
present who will not remember as
long as he lives the earnest, whole
some words Of this beloved brother
Of the order. We have heard many
Of the members express themselves
to the effect that this was the best
function they had attended in the
order. II would be a good thing
to repeat.

A new use has just been learned
for the ubiquitous hairpin. Tues
day evening when a bunch of the
Rebekahs were coming home from
visiting the lodge at University
Park, the fuse In the mechanism OF
the trolley car burned out. The
motor man asked one of the ladies
to lend him hair pin.
The Rebecca promptly extracted
one from her golden locks and
blushingly handed II to the motor
man, who inserted II in place of the
burned out fuse aud the car
trundled into St. Johns on time.
II is now up to the street car com.
pany to make II one of their regul-
ationns that their motormen shall
wear hairpins.
