Fifty Thousand at Least.

When lovely woman stoops to folly,
And learns, toolate, thatloversskip,
What balm can heal her melancholy,
What course can give her grief the
slip?
The lady's only satisfaction,
The only way her tears to dry,
Lies in q breach Of promise action,
With damages almighty high.

In time past there has been no

THE NEW TALK ABOUT THE GEAR.

II Is hard TO tell Just what manner
of men the rulers OF the world are
Even our own Roosevelt Is some
what mysterious parsonage, though
he tries as hard as any of them to
make himself plain. Perhaps the
most mysterious OF the rulers is the
Car OF Russia He has been pIctur-
ed generally as a weak, vacillating
man, incapable of acting right or
wisely In such an emergency as he
finds himself In. But we may be
forced to revise our estimate of the
Gear 1t Is now said of him that he
has played, In spite of all prophecy
part as different as possible from
that Of Louis XVI, He has defeated
the revolutionary passion which II he
had not resisted II would have swept
him before II like a straw. He has
shown more nerve, more judgment,
more perslstency than lie was credit
ed by any foreign observer with pos
sessiug, and even If he has succeeded
mainly " accepting firm advice he
has saved his dynasty from destruc-
ton, his empire from anarchy and
his subjects from themselves.
This Isn't much like the old talk
about the Car. but when what has
been done In Russia lately is consld-
cred the new talk Is plausible He
may yet be called a pretty good man.

OutInwing wooden buildings.

tThe Boston AdvertiserD
The time Is coming when every city
will have TO settle whether It should
not provide that every new building
raised within lts limits should be Of
nreproof or slow burning construction.
Between the cost of q finder box and
the cost Of iircproof building, at
present prices OF lumber, there Is no
longer any very great difference. BY
adopting law against the erection OF
wooden buildings In cities of certain
population, the state could very wisely
begin a reform that would cut insur-
ance rates almost in half. eventually, In
Massachusetts. one result OF this
change IN law, II may be added, woul |
be TO promote the building OF low cost
homes IN suburban villages where land
Is cheaper and whore the air Is purer.
Colonel Russells warnings to Boston
about the folly and danger of allowing
wooden camps" TO grow up all around
each large city OF Massachusetts have
been borne out To- the letter by the
Chelsea fire and will be confirmed soon
or or later by an even more disastrous
fire IN Boston, unless the construction
of wooden houses of any sort shall be
prohibited.
