A Petition to Russia.

The fact that eminent Americans
have signed the petition addressed
directly to the Russian ambassador
here in Washington for the release
from prison of Nicholas Tschaikov-
sky and Catherine Breshkovsky,
who for many years have been at
the forefront of the Russian revolu-
tiOnary movement, would seem to
call explanation. It has come from
one of the New Workers. interested
in this benevolent work. "Not out
Of sympathy with any revolutionary
cause" said this man, ''but merely
out of regard for the lofty charac-
ter of both, did we decide TO helm
them"
Among the signers are Bishop
Lawrence, Thomas Wentworth Hig-
ginson, William Dean Howells, Mark
Twain, Lyman Abbott, Seth Low,
and Samuel J. Barrows, who for
merly represented Boston in Con-
gress. The petition, in effect, begs
the Russian government to regard
mercifully the acts of these
apostles of political liberty" The
man, Tschaikovsky, was arrested
the other day for visiting persons
under suspicion-a familiar process
of law in Russia. No doubt some
equally far-reaching regulation was
invoked to secure the Imprisonment
of the venerable Nine. Breshkovsky.
The prisoners in question are the
leading Representatives Of the move
ment which ultimately will make
Russia liberal monarchy in every
sense of the term. This result is in
evitable. No tyraunical or seac-
tionary force can prevent it's reali.
zation. The question is whether o..
not, in view of this gathering ten
dency, the Russian authorities will
act humanely toward the distin-
guished patriots who for the time
being are clased as revolutionists.
While everyone must condemn as
sensational busybodies the clique OF
half-bsked American socialists whc
from time to time have invaded
Russia and mixed in with lawless
bomb-slingers, there can be no Just
criticism of plea for mercy in be-
half of man and a woman whose

Dahlman Explains.

Mayor DahIman. of Omaha, rises
to elucidate the Presidents refer

made in the course of a message
for the people of the West From
the way in which the message was
first received it appeared that the
President took a somewhat Ne

crumbling banks and bewailing de-
positors. Mr.. Dahlman now says
exegetically:

ANOTHER NATURE TALE.

Being almost whipped to death by a
coachwhip snake Is the experience
claimed by J. A. Mordant. OF Marshall
county. Mordant says he had been call
ing on his pastor, and when walking
toward home through a cotton patch he
came upon a snake that measured about
thirteen feet in length.
Seizing a rock he threw il at the
snake, and when the reptile showed
fight he turned and ran, but the snake
overlook him The snake made two
coils around the mans body and began
70 whip HIM Mordant had nothing TO
defend himself with but a small Knife.
and for a time he was doubtful whether
he would be whipped or squeezed 10
death before he could infiict a mortal
wound on the reptile. Almost exhausted
he sank TO his knees and succeeded IN
cutting the snakes head from his body.
He was exhausted by the experience
but after recovering, he came upon the
mate of the dead snake. This time there
was no battle because Mordant was tho
best sprinter.-GuEtersville Democrat.

Marion Crawford Is the subject OF
an article by DR.. Frederic Taber
Cooper, in the series Of Representative
American Story-TelIers" which the
Bookman has been publishing. Or.
Cooper dwells on the satisfaction TO
be found in dealing in such a series
with the author whom he calls the
prince Of story-tellers." Summing up
Mr. Crawford's literary creed, he says:
In theory he is 4 rOmantic!st: in
practice he IS IN turn reaIist, psyche
iogue' mystic. whatever for the moment
suits his needs or appeals 70 his in
sunct OF horn story-teller."
Inc truth OF this varied characteriza-
ton, and the cosmopolitanism Of Mr..
CrhWiord's genius are curiously Illus
trated by the fact that his latest story,
Arethusa,' is a romance OF Constan-
unopie IL the Middle Ages, while its
immediate predecessor was a tale OF
modern Rome. and its successor, THE
Little city Of Hope" Is a Christmas
story with an American theme and
characters.

A PreSeh. for Mother.

What would be a suitable present
for my mother?" writes a young
woman. Bless your heart and bless
mothers dear old heart, anything
is suitable present for her just so
it is accompanied by love and given
with a hug and kiss and a pat on
the back that tells her Of the love
of her child. Mother doesn't care
what the present is. She looks
through the present into your
heart.
On the other hand, nothing is too
fine or too precious or too rare TO
be a present for mother. She has
always given you her love and devo-
tiOn, deeper than any OceaI. Her
heart has always borne your sor-
rows, taken your disappointments
as her own, and your triumphs have
been her own, only they are greater
triumphs and sorrows and disap-
pOintments for her than they ever
could be for you.
But while anything is a suitable
present for mother, to neglect her
is a crime beyond punishment, a
sin beyond forgiveness. 4 grimy
little stick of candy from a dirty
little fist is treasured by mother
long after that little fist has grown
TO manhOOd's Or- yvOr,apbood,- s;,a
or has crumbled in the dust-assur-
edly not for its value, but for the
message of love it bore. It is re-
membrance and love the mother

The Benefits of Labor.

Booker T. Washington compressed
the negro question into a few para
graphs in his speech before the Mer-
chants Club OF Boston recently.
After stating that the members of
his race in the South will probably
number. twelve or fifteen million
within a few years, he went on to
say:

where so large a proportion OF labor is
In control Of race, Il constitutes a

FRAUD ORDER ISSUED,
BAN ON PUBLISHERS

The Hopkins Publishing Company, the
name under which the c. Z. Ellis Pub
fishing Company, Of New York city, has
for several years past carried on an ex-
tCnsive mail order business. was today
placed in the fraud category by the Off
cials Of the Postonfice Department. and
the further use Of the mails denied the
firm.
1t is stated in the evidence in the case
that the firm published a number OF
cheap papers, which contained various
pretended puzzle contests The prize
winners were each required 10 send 81
10 pay for q years subscription 10 one
OF the papers and 20 cover cost OF
packing and mailing the prizes, which
the department claims were always
worth less than the amount RENTED.
The Hopkins company is an old Of

last three or four years, has just escaped
fraud orders by promising to be good.
