Russian capital, which, the correspond
ents state, is designed TO DE the most
brilliant since the present car came
to the throne. Beginning with an i'm
perial reception at the winter palace,
there are to follow in rapid succession
series of state dinners, theatricals
and other social festivities. The pur-
pose of these entertainments, 1t is said,
is to disprove the statements made
abroad that the czarina has become
mentally afflicted.
Despite the official denials, it is
learned from an authoritative source
that the czarina, who is closely re-
lated to the English royal family
she is a niece of King Edwards
seriously i'll, both mentally and physi-
cally. Her present condition is such,
in fact, that her recovery is regarded
as difficult, If not impossible.
The czarina, as is well known, has
never been popular in Russia. From
the very day of her arrival there. in
deed. she has been looked on askance
as an intruder-one who has neither
part nor lot in the land. And of late
years the feeling against her has be-
come much more inse1se. Surround
ed by enemies she has for years been
the unhappiest royal parsonage in
Europe.
Though she has been a devoted
wife, her domestic life all through has
been one of great sorrow. The car
hungered for a son, and as each of the
many daughters was born the gloom
increased, till melancholy had marked
her for its own. Even when the long
wished for heir arrived the joy was
short-lived. Attempts to kidnap the
czarevitch were narrowly frustrated.
and the terror of violent death at any
moment for herself and family broke
down what little fortitude remained.
The czarina received a great shock
when the Grand Duke Sergius was as
sassinated at Moscow. For weeks
afterward she could not sleep without
opiates. Although she compelled her
self to attend the funeral of her hus-
bands uncle, the Grand Duke Alexis,
her terror of bombs was so great that
afterwards fears were entertained as
to her reason. When she travelled 20
the Crimea with her family, making
her FIRST journey through Russia in
seven years, her one thought was of
revolutionaries, and practically during
the whole of the time she had the little
czarevitch clasped to her breast.
Every political disturbance in Eu-
rope has increased this depression,
and the recent tour to France and Eng
land, where she had passed so many
happy days in her girlhood was de-
layed too long, it is believed, to accom-
plish all that was hoped for in the way
of restoring shattered nerves.

Who Pays Import Duties?

Joseph Chamberlain, the British
protectionist, in recent speech at
Glasgow, said:
II propose to put no tax whatever
On maize, because maize is a food
Of the very poorest of the people. I
propose to exclude bacon from pro-
lection also, because bacon forms the
staple food for many of the poorest of
The population"
Why should Mr.. Chamberlain do
his if the foreigner was going to pay
the import duties? The answer is
that he did not wish to put a tariff
on maize and bacon because he knew
he amount of the duty would be
added to the cost of these articles
de realized that the import duty
gould not be paid by the foreigner,
out by, the consumer.

cious nod and a smile.
What did it mean? Had she not been
in that tremulous condition, love, when
every shadow is a demon? She would
probably have thought that there was
no meaning to il whatever. AS it was,
she considered it in the light of an in
suit from both John and Pattie.
That evening John called. She re-
ccived him graciously and chatted with
him as if nothing had happened, but
before he left told him that their en-
gagement was n thing Of the past. All
this required great self control, but
that self control she possessed.
The three weeks that followed found
her still living up to the hobby. If she
was a bit whittier and thinner the spir
ituelle effect was becoming, therefore
welcome. There could be tonic and
change of air should the scrawny
stage threaten. Pending that time her
maid one morning announced, Miss

The Argus Daily Short Story
Her Hobby-By Frank H. Sweet.
Copyrighted. 1909. by Associated Literary Pres.

Is there any one who has no hobby ?
such person is happy. We live lives
at least most of us do-that lie in beat
en- tracks.
The merchant that has built up a
large business goes to his store every
day TO do pretty much the same thing
His wife stays at home. looks after
the servants and makes calls. The
doctor visits the sick and listens to
an eternal round of aches and pains.
The clergyman breaches every Sun
day and makes parochial visits. With
all of us our occupation sooner or later
becomes humdrum.
What. then, is our relief. our safety
valve?
A hobby.
Hobbies are sometimes mere whims,
or they may be fancy that certain
line Of action under certain circum-
stances is essential. OF such kind
was Neil Lambert's.
Her hobby was self control She
was accustomed to say that it was the
only cultured substitute for content
ment and that the result of fits perfect
attainment was perpetual youth. The
quick growth of a frown habit and the
wrinkles that follow in its wake were
among her strongest arguments.
Neil was wooed and won by John
Brent. She was very happy, and APP
parently John was happy too. The
world seemed suddenly transformed
from a very humdrum affair to para
disc. She managed to retain her self
control, so far as telling any of her
friends of her engagement was con-
cerned. Then there was a lapse. Her
friend Pattie Roane called, and Neil
let out the secret.
Not long after Miss Roane's depar-
ture Pattie was standing at the parlor
window which overlooked the street
admiring some flowers that were kept
in the window. She was thinking of
her lover, and it seemed that the flow
ers looked up at her with happy
smile. Happening to glance up, her
heart seemed to cease to beat.
There, driving down the street on his
dogcart, with Miss Roane beside him.
was John Brent Nevertheless her hab-
it of self control was strong enough to

BALLINGER LOPS
QUARTET OF HEADS
DisgracefuI Condition Alleged in In
dian School of Five Civilized
Tribes.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 10.-Sec-
rotary Ballinger Of the interior de-
partment yesterday suspended from
Office John D. Benedict, superintend-
ent of schools Of the Five Civilized
Tribes of Oklahoma, and three sup
ervtsors, as the result of an investi-
cation which has disclosed "a dis
graceful condition" affecting the ma
terial and moral welfare of the
schools.
AS further result of the investiga-
ton, which will be continued, other
officials Of the Indian service may
suffer like fate.
The inquiry was entered into be-
cause of reports reaching the depart
ment charging the officials with ac-
tivities thought improper for gov
eminent employees. The suspended
supervisors are Calvin Ballard of the
Choctaw schools at McAlester, Fred
erick H. Umholtz of the Choctaw
schools, Ardmore, and Walter Fall
well of the Creek schools at Mus
kogee. The four men will be allow
ed to make answer to the secretary
Of the interior as to the charges
against them.
From the report it appears that
superintendent Benedict is connected
with certain business interests in Ok
lahoma which have more or less bus
mess with the Indians, which rela-
tionship, it was believed, was wholly
incompatible with his service as sup
erintendent.

SLEUTH ARRESTED
Thomas P. Reilly, Investigator
for Commerce Commission,
Accused.
FOR ABsTRAcTIMG LETTER
Claimed He Took One Written by
Wickersham from Files and
Gave 1t to Newspaper.

New York, Jan. 10.-Thomass p.
Kelley. special investigator for the in
terstate commerce commission, was ar
rested here late Saturday afternoon
and locked up in the Tombs, charged
with the theft of letter from George
w. Wickersham, U. S. attorney gen.
eral, to Henry A Wise, United States
district attorney, from Mr.. Wise's Of
nee in the New York federal building.
The letter subsequently appeared in
the Cosmopolitan magazine, and it was
known yesterday that long search for
the man who stole it had at last re-
suited in the return of an Indictment
by the federal grand jury.
Violated statute.
The specific charge against Kelley
in the Indictment is the taking and
publishing of letters and private
papers without authority" in violation
of the United States revised statutes
and of the New York penal laws. The
acts complained OF are said to have
been committed on July 1, 1909, when
Mr.. Wise was abroad
In addition to the Wickersham let
ter there were also distracted from
the files of the district attorneys Office
two letters from A. c. r. Heike, sec
rotary of the American Sugar Refining
company. to John E. Parsons, counsel
for the company, for the meeting held
at the house of the late Theodore
Havemeyer, December, 1900.
Conv for Publication
Abel l. Smith, the assistant United
States district attorney, who worked
up the case against Kelley, said that
when the publication of Mr.. Wicker
sham's letter first greeted the eyes of
Mr. Wise, shortly after his return from
Europe, he Immediately instituted a
search for the original. The Wicker
sham letter he had left In his desk.
1t was found finally in the w file.
A copy of it had evidently been taken
for publication The Heike-Parsons
letters had also been copied for the
originals worked in the office file, but
the minutes of the sugar company's
board of directors have apparently dis
for good.
PrOtese of Stimson.
News of the arrest caused a sensa-
ton in the federal building, where
Kelley was known as a protege of
Henry L. Stimson, now special counsel
for the government in it's prosecution
of the sugar cases and formerly
United States district attorney. 1t was
on information furnished by Kelley
to Mr.. Stimson that the government
prosecuted with success the New York
Central, Rock Island, Chicago, Milwau
kee and st. Paul. Central Vermont and
other railroads and transit companies
for giving rebates on sugar shipments
in violation of the Hepburn law. The
railroads on pleas of guilty were all
