THE RUSSIAN PEASANT.
Stupid and Poor, a Good Fellow Who
Merely Exists.

Otupio ana root SoOo reno" VINO
Merely Exists.
The Russian peasant does not live;
he merely exists. "Nitcheyo" CIT is
nothing'D, he merely says when any
thing happens to him. Nothing mat
tiers, nothing could be worse, and
"Nitchevo" is his panacea for all evils.
And yet the Russian moujik is really a
fine fellow. Ordinarily, II. p. Kennard
tells us in his book, THE Russian
Peasant" he is splendid, well built
man, large limbed, large headed and
healthy. He is equally unaffected by
20 degrees of frost or twenty glasses Of
vodka. He is clothed in uncured sheep
skins and carries in winter more
clothes than the average Englishman
could stand up in.
He is unspeakably stupid, however,
and his dream of happiness is to gorge.
to sleep as much as possible through
the winter and dance and sing in the
summer. But the strangers first OBJ
lection to the moujik is that he smells
not because he does not wash him
self. AS matter of fact, in every vii
lage there are public baths-baaza-
and the peasants wash themselves
there unfailingly every Saturday in
order TO be allowed to go to church on
Sunday. for the Orthodox church en-
joins cleanliness.
The Russian peasant is always poor
and generally in debt. He plows the
land in the same way that his father
plowed it ana gets as little for his la
Dor. His main worry in life is how to
pay the governors taxes. If he says
he cannot pay he is logged, or perhaps
he will sell part of his next years
power of work.. e., work for moth
ing for several mOnths-tO raise loan,
and of course he is worse of than ever
the following year.
On Christmas night at dusk the mar
riageable village girls go out into the
streets and meet their young men. and
one says, "What is your name" The
young man answers "FOma," and she
replies, My husbands name is Foma."
Some days later at the girls home
relations are gathered together. There
comes a knock at the door. The sta
rosta and the young man enter, carry
ing loaves of bread. The starosta
says something like this:
I'VE are German people, come from
Turkey. We are hunters, good fell
lows. There was a time once in our
country when we saw strange foot
prints in the snow, and my friend the
prince here saw them, and we thought
they might be fox's or martens foot
prints or it might be those of beauti-
full girl. We hunters, we good fell
lows, are determined not to rest till
we have found the animal. We have
been in all cities from Germany to
Turkey and have sought for this fox,
this marten or this princess, and at last
we have seen the same strange foot
prints in the snow again, here by your
court And we have come in. Come,
let us take her, the beautiful princess,
for we see her in front Of us, or can
II be that you would keep her till she
grows a little older?"
Thus does the moujik ask for a wife.

woman and their love-" he cried.
Charlie, | must give you up
The girl turned to one side, as
though to give Norton a chance to
leave.
He looked at her in silence mo-
ment or two. Then a change came
into his bearing. Wrinkling his face
into sneer, he stepped before the
girl.
you've been converted mighty sud
den, | reckon, from land speculation
to preaching and preaching, too,
against folks who tried to make for
tune for you"
Norton stopped, expecting a reply,
but the girl remained silent
"You think I'm done for, that I've
lost my money, that's why you turned
from me so quickly he laughed scorn-
fully. but I'll show you, you and
your laundering old father. I'll win
you yet, and I'll ruin your fathers po-
litical reputation. Pip
Are you quite sure about that?"
spoke voice sharply behind the con-
gresham. He swung around vigor-
ously. Bud Haines had returned in
tine to hear Norton's threat.

take time to show you up, too, some
how. | guess a congressmans word
will count against that of a cheap sec
retary4that's what Miss Langdon said
you were"
Carolina looked appealingly to
Halnes to rid her of the presence of
this man, whose last words she knew
Haines would not believe.
But Norton had had his say. He re-
treated to the door.
Miss Langdon," he cried as he
backed out and away, you have an
idea that | am dishonest, but kindly
remember that, whatever you think l
am. | never was a hypocrite."
Haines advanced and procured
chair for Miss Langdon.
I'm terribly sorry to have come
back at such a time" he began.
The girl cut him short with ges-
ture.

Before Haines could reply Senator

Bud laughed through the flush that
rose in his cheeks.
"No. ! won't forget that But have

'If they Gomez exclaimed Langdon.

Then he hesitated worriedly.

Avoiding the secretary's direct gaze,
she asked for her father.
"He ought to be back shortly, Miss

AS the secretary bowed himself out
Of the door he almost colided with
Congressman Norton. Both glared at
each other and remained silent.

tered, Il hope-I know you won't allow

Carolina would rather not have met
Charles Norton on this morning. She
had hardly slept for the night She
had fought battle with herself. Her
father had shown her plainly the mis-
take she had made She saw that her
influence had not been without effect
on Randolph. Probably for the first
time she realized that there are glory
and luxury, pleasure and prestige for
which too big a price can be paid.

picking up the thread of routine where
he had dropped it the day before,
though his frequent thought of Hope

this task unusually difficult. He i'm
patiently wished the afternoon to
hasten along, as he knew he would
then see her in the senate gallery,
where she would go to hear her IA
theirs speech.
This speech had to be revised in
some particulars by Bud, and the work
he knew would take up much of his
morning. The senator's speech was
1.-THE South of the Future" which he
would deliver when recognized by the
president of the senate in connection
with the naval base bill, that officer
having agreed 10 recognize Langdon at
$3.50, at which time the report of the
naval affairs committee would be re-
ceived Just how Langdon would turn
the tables on Peabody and Stevens and
yet win for the Altacoola site not even
the ex-newspaper man, experienced in
politics, had solved Clearly the sena-
tor would have to do some tall think

The junior senator from Mississippi
burst into the office with his habitual
CHEEKY greeting, his broad brimmed
black felt hat in its usual position on
the back of his head, like symbol of
undying defiance.

MISERY Is ENDED.

WHY not start now-to-day, and
forever rid yourself of Stomach
trouble and Indigestion? A Diet
ed stomach gets the blues and
grumbles. Give it a good eat, then
take Pape's Diapepsin to start the
digestive juices working. There
will be no dyspepsia or belching
of Gas or eructations of undiges-
ted food; no feeling like a lump
of lead in the stomach or heart
burn, sick headache and dizziness,
and your food will not ferment
and poison your breath with poi
sonous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin costs only so
cents for a large case at any drug
store here, and will relieve the
most obstinate case OF Indiges-
ton and upset stomach in five
minutes.
There is nothing else better to
take Gas from the Stomach and
cleanse the stomach and intestines
and besides, one triangle will di-
gest and prepare for assimilation
into the blood all your food the
same as a sound, healthy stomach
would do il.
When Diapepsin works, your
stomach rests-gets itself in or
der, cleans up-and then you feel
like eating when you come to the
table, and what you eat will do
you good.
Absolute relief from all Stom-
ach Misery is waiting for you as
soon as you decide to begin TAX
ing Diapepsin. Tell your druggist
that you want Papea Diapepsin,

she thought, recklescIy. The idea of
stopping was a dolectable one now TO

he must abandon.

elude those blurring wheels and with
a yelp of pain rolled over and over
into the ditch Three horses batting
by the roadside in front of another
house stampeded as they whizzed by
and raced them out of sight.
EdmGnia now tried to expostuIate
with her mad cavalier But PercivaIe
said nothing to her almost fearful ap-
pealS. His whole attention was con-
centrated on keeping the thing within
the limits Of the road.
Beats Lochinvar!' he yelled breath
lessly as they grazed a watering tub
Edmonia moaned. You are craZyw
she cried. Lets go home! Oh, take
me homer she commanded him.
"Home!" Percivale ground the word
passionately between his teeth. "You
will be lucky if you ever see home
again. We shall never stop" But
even as he spoke he felt something re-
spond to his cropping fingers. The ma
chine was obeying his controlling hand.
Joy and a relief that rolled over him
like a wave made him shout aloud.
Edmonia received this new demon
stration as the exultation of a captor
and commanded and implored by turn.
But he did not at once diminish his
speed. He knew now that Edmonia
had not realized his impotence. He
put the machine at a hill and plunged
down the other side. Edmonia was
clinSing to him with wild promises.
He brought the car carefully to a
standstill and climbed painfully to the
ground. Edmonia was sobbfng into
her handkerchief. He hoped he was
accepting the role of victorious knight
mcdestly, but the iron was hot!

your promise, you know. I'm not much

up at him through her tears.

mot until we're married" said Per.
civale firmly.
Edmonia refused to continue in the
car, however, SO they walked on to the
nearest town, where the minister's fee
was the first of a series of more mutt
dane charges which punctuated their
hOmeward journey in the buggy.
But in lis new joy, which was only
enhanced by pecuniary interludes with
the wrathful owners of Slaughtered
hens, the fearful mistress of an injured
dog and damages due to the recovery
of errant horses. Percivale made it

Inventor Davy and Love.

Sir Humphry Dayy. the inventor Of
the Davy lamp, found love something
of a delusion, If not a snare. Writing
TO his mother. he said. IL am the hap
piest Of men in the hope of a union
with a woman equally distinguished
for virtues. talents and accomplish
ments." And in a letter to his brother
he expresses his rapture thus: Mrs.
Apprece has consented to marry me.
and when the event takes place shall
not envy kings. princes or potentates."
The widow must have been a person
possessed of great powers of fascina-
ton, for Sir Henry Holland makes
mention Of her as a lady who made
such a sensation in Edinburgh society
that even a regius professor did not
think it beneath his scholarship TO go
down on his knees in the street to fas-
ten her shoe. The sequel need not be
dwelt upon further than TO add that
the marriage turned out TO be alto
gether a mistake.
