RUSSIAN BUDGET
OVER A BILLION

Large expenditures for military pur-
poses have been proposed by the Rus
sian government, and thus far they
have received the approval of the
Duma apparently without any friction
whatever. On Tuesday the Duma
adopted bill authorizing the expendi-
ture of $46, 100000 for army supplies
and material. On the same day it
gave it's tentative approval of the War
Office programme for the expenditure
of $1OO,OOO,OOO more for the same pur-
pose in 1909-11. Prior to that it had
authorized the approval of an expendi-
ture of more than $3OO,OO0,JUO to as
sure the defense of the Far Eastern
possessions of the empire. Criticism
has been expressed of the doubleheaded
and triple-headed authority existing in
the army, and it has been met with
the announcement that the Emperor
contemplates making reforms. This
general statement seems to have been
satisfactory to the Duma, for it passed
on Thursday a budget amounting to
$1,125 100000 practically without a
change. A noteworthy indication of
the change of spirit in the present
Duma, as compared with the former
ones, is that the opposition has re-
Trained from criticising the existing
system of on.-Bradstreets.

Lost Articles Are Always Crying Out
For Their Owners.
When one is on the public thorough
fare or In the street car or train or
boat and picks up an object that is
valuable, is it his?
True. be may find something which
is too small and trifling to warrant
searching to find the owner, such as a
handkerchief, pair Of gloves. etc.
But when he finds something Of value
1t Is not his until he has done every
thing In his power to find the'owner.
The street railways and trains are
so systematized today that II. when
one finds an object Of value. he re-
turns it to the company's representa-
tive 1t Is almost sure to catch up with
its owner. Every person of intelli-
gence knows that the first place to
inquire for it is at the lost and found
department.
When, however. one Is on the street
and finds something which. If he lost
1t himself. he would very much like to
have returned. there are the columns
Of a newspaper in which to advertise.
II he fails to find the owner after
this, then he can rightfully call it his
own and have a clear conscience. but
If he avoids looking over the lost and
found columns and fails to do his part
toward finding the owner he is almost
as dishonest as If he took the goods

a pair Of laughing tackasses. which he
intrusted to one Of the sailors. Tom

Alas! The unaccustomed shipboard
life did not agree with the creatures
and In spite of all Toms care they
pinned and finally died.
When he discovered the catastrophe
Tom was In despair.

"Don't shirk it, mate" said his pal
"Break it to him gently. You'll find
It'll be all right"
