r,orr,ops in Russia Head their own life." they hold their little '1mperlum in imperio" without molestatlon or any sort. They have their own news naners. their own churches their own theatres, their own banks, their own schools and system of education The political organization of the German
 e.idants under the control of the erect centralized club known as the F,A,tden+scher Verband" would deserve an essav for itself. But what particu- larlv arrests serious attention in Rus- sia at the present moment Is the amount of land they possess. To give q Single concrete instance, of the 695 manors registered in the Yurieff dis trict only seven or eight belong 10 Russian proprietors; the rest belong to Germans.
 In Russian Poland.
 Tn Russian Poland no less than APO square miles of the total i9.160 square miles comprised by that province are held by Germans as their own proper ty: in the south west.

There is thus today a German host of 7.25O.0O0 in Russia. rooted to some 32000 square miles of the soil, controlling by far the greater portion of the trade of the country, backed up by a formidable amount of capital to a large extent under mill tary organization and innocent Of any pretention to Russia citizenship.

French Story of Note in Bouquet That
 Was for Years Unanswered.
 London Telegraph.
 One of the longest delayed proposals on record Is related in French story of A shy young subaltern who was or dered away to the wars. Not daring to speak, he sent & nosegay of yellow roses to the girl he loved. with lit- tie note inside begging her If she re- turned his love. to wear one of the flowers on her breast that night at the ball. She appeared without 1t. and he went away broken hearted
 Years aferward. when he was lame old general. he again met his old love, now a white haired widow. One day his old sweetheart gently asked him why he had never married. Madam" he answered somewhat sternly, you ought to know best. If you had not refused to answer that note in the bouquet of yellow roses might have been a happier man." The note in the bouquet?" she repeated, growing pale. ~
 She opened an old cabinet and took out from a drawer shrivelled bou- ouet of what had been yellow roses. among whose leafless stalks lurked a scrap of paper yellow with age. See! never had your note." she said, holding the bouquet Up. If I had I would have answered 1t as you fancted." Then answer 1t now." said the gallant old soldier. And the long delayed propose was accepted at last.

 and chief witness. The spectacle of a own attorney is of course nothing un- common. but to hear MT. Stevens aa council in behalf of himself as plain tin, putting questions to himself as witness and then anBwering himself, was something entirely new He even put questions in his capacity as at- torney to himself as witness which he couldn't answer in any capacity, and then asked himself as to whether he could refresh his mind by reference to documents and told himself that he could. When 1t came to- a question as to when witness Stevens had seen a certain man. the following cdnversa- fion ensued on the part of the lawyer in his various Identities: ,,
 "On what day did you see hfm?" s
 T don't recall the exact date"
 Have you any memorandum that will refresh your memory?"
 T have" 4.t. s- .s .zt win you please produce It." inquir- ed Lawyer Stevens.

 And so the examination proceeded for some time. The three in one com. bination seemed to be highly pleased with'the results of It's triple capacity with one exception. That occurred when through Lawyer Stevens Witness Stevens demanded payment of wti. ness fee from Plaintiff Stevens. The matter was finally settled by Stevens as plaintiff giving cigar to himself. turned over to himself as a witness.
 Overcharge Refundsd.
 While honesty may. be the best poll fey, Father Knickerbocker has just re- corded indubitable proof that 1t Is sometimes an expensive policy. so far as municipal affairs are concerned. The present illustration. while only on a small scale, indicates fin startling esty might be in a transaction of any size. At any rate the city has just re- funded an overcharge of 20 cents after five fears labor Involving many de- partments. at cost of just 100 times the amount involved. The whole trans action. whcih bids fair to become a part of municipal history had Its orig In Tn nOInin& more extTdOTuiHATy thoh an assessment for specal improvements on certain property. A clerk with a meticulous mind in the assessors of- flee discovered nearly year after the whole matter was completed and closed that one of the assessed property own- CTS. a woman. had been overcharged by the sum of 20 cents. When the mat ter was called to her attention she as. serted her willingness, amounting to anxiety, to present the city with the sum in quesion. This. however. did not comport with Father Knickerbocker's reputation for honesty and conse- quently this week after five years of labor to accomplish the result, a check for 20 cents was placed in her hands. To arrive at this conclusion the clerks in nine depa had been called into service at various times and 1S7 letters and communications had been written, making the total cost of the minute refund. aside from the loss of time, more than SEQ.

Continual growth is necessary to the character of man or business firm. The manager who supervised the work of ten men few years ago IS now responsible for that of twenty, fifty or hundred men. Progressive retail concerns spend more for advertising alone today than their entire gross receipts few years back. Montgomery as a corporation accomplishes more than did the city of New York couple of generations since.
 Fortunes that look stupendous today will look ordinary to the next generation. Opportuni- ties for business improvement demand self-im- pavement The obligation of continuous growth rests upon this institution just as much as upon the other progressive people Tn Mont gomery and carries with 1t the same demand for conscientious effort and square dealing. This Company has since January first of this year added to its service by legitimate business development much more patronage than the total Electrical equipment in Mont gomery SIX years ago could supply.
 At this rate of progress it is not apt to attempt to hook its franchise rig ghts and property around the country, delude its stockholders or falsify its statements. Its policies will not be those of the peanut variety.
