We are expecting them just about

we think we are lucky, and be-

we are personally connected with
them. We were Mortified when

when Valparaiso was shaken to

| ton, Free Speech, Habeas Corpus
Religious Freedom and other Re
forms-Premier's Statement.
st. Petersburg, March, 20. = The
lower house of parliament acquitted
itself with credit in its first encounter
with the administration. An over.
whelming majority, including the Con.
stitutional Democrats, the Octoberists
the Group of Toll and the Social Rev
olutionists, refused to be drawn into
a fruitless discussion over the minis
terial declaration read by Premier
Stolypin, and adhered to the decisions
reached in caucuses to proceed with
as little delay as possible to the pro-
gram of constructive legislation.
The feature of the day was Premier
Stolypin's speech, with its plain warn
ing that no playing with fire would be
permitted and that the duma must
confine itself strictly to its legitimate
functions II 1t does not wish to be
dissolved.
M. Stolypin's statement opened with
recital of the difficulties which faced
the government. He elaborated on
the laws suitable for country passing
through period OF reconstruction,
and announced that all the bills to be
submitted to the house had been
drawn up with the same general idea
OF upholding the new legal conditions
arising from the recent reforms. Our
country" said the premier, must be
transformed into constitutional
state. Real measures must be adopt
ed to define and determine the rights
OF the state and of private individuals,
and to abolish the contradictions be-
tween the old and new laws and the
arbitrary interpretations placed upon
them by private persons as we'll as
officials. The government. therefore,
has decided that II Is necessary to
submit series OF bills establishing
the new regime in Russia"
The projects OF law enumerated by
NJ. Stolypin are summarized as fol-
lows: Freedom of speech and of the
press; liberty OF faith; habeas corpus
on the same basis as other states;
substitution OF single form of mar
tial law for the various deerees of ex-
eeptional security; local selfgovern.
ment; reform of the zemstyos; respon.
sibility OF officials; agrarian reforms;
the abolition OF the free entry of goods
into Vladiyostok; completion of the
Trans-Siberian railroad In Russian
territory; popular education.

GONE FOREVER.

[ Ten years ago farmer put his ini.
tials on dollar bill. The next day he
went to the nearest town and spent It
with merchant. Before the year was
out he got the dollar back. Four times
in six years the dollar came back to
him for produce and three times he
heard of 1t in the pocket Of his neigh.
bors.
! The last time he got 1t back four
years ago. He sentittto mail order
house. He never has seen that dollar
since, and never will. That dollar bill
will never pay any more school or
road tax for him, will never build or
brighten any of the homes of the COM.
munity. He sent 1t entirely out Of
the circle of usefulness to himself and
his neighbors.
Patronize your local merchant who
helps you to pay your taxes, support
your schools and churches, and lends
helping hand in times Of sickness

Must Learn to Think.

The young people Of to-day as COM
pared with those of so years ago are
chiefly deficient in power of sustained
attention and original thinking. They
cannot, or at least they do not, think
as clearly, as patiently, and as cogent-
ly as did their fathers. They do not
as quickly distinguish the irrelevant
from the pertinent, the kernel from
the husk, as the men of the last gen.
GRAFTON. They have an amazing fund
of information; they are wide readers
of bright ephemeral literature; they
have tasted every fruit on the great
tree of knowledge; they know thou
sand interesting scraps; they are
more versatile and ingenious and at
tractive than any other of the recent
generations. But, says President w.
Fl. p. Faunce of Brown University, in
Leslie's Weekly, they are quickly led
astray by sophistry, and easily led to
surrender conviction when it conflicts
with interest.

He Was Hard 10 Suit.

In Rumford Falls, Me-, lives jim
Withee, one of the most popular land
lords In the state, also known by
every horse dealer in New England.
Several years ago Mr. Withee bought
in New York city for small sum a
horse, once valuable, but crippled by
the pavements.
The animal was taken to Maine
where he was allowed to revel in pas
lures soft and green, and soon was
apparently Sound as a nut" His
master then proceeded to sell him at
long price to parties who took him
back to New York, where his ailments
Immediately returned, and the owners
brought suit against Mr.. Withee.
At the trial the point on which the
verdict seemed to hinge was as to
whether or not Mr.. Withee was a
horse jockey. Accordingly, the plain.
tiff's attorney gave the following
cross-examination:
"Mr Withee, what is your occupa.
tion?"
Hotel keeper and farmer, sub, no.
tel keeper and farmer"
Then you are not horse jockey?"

"Mr Withee, In the course of year
about how many horses do you buy
and SELF"
"A hundred or two, may be-"
"And still you maintain that you
are not horse jockey?"

Then what Is the reason that you

That the balloon is expected to play

That the balloon is expected to play
a part in war, and possibly an impor.
tant one hereafter, is evident from
military procedure abroad. In Ger.
many careful attention is given to the
matter by army authorities. A nov.
city in German military practice is
about to be instituted, and the out
come will be interesting. Both free
and captive balloons are to be sent up,
and coast artillery batteries will use
the balloons as targets. Hitting bal.
looms will be much more difficult than
striking ships at sea, for in addition
to discounting the motion of the aerial
vessels there will be the height which
the projectiles must attain to be eff.
fective. Fighting with airships will
be certain to multiply the problems
with which military science has to
deal.
