1t is ali old history now, though l learned it
within these last few months chiefly from
Counts, Stepan's father. The old Count had
always resented the marriage. He hated Herr
Pendennis, his brother in law, as much he
loved his sister. Herr Pendennis was away
in England when the children were born and
that increased the Counts bitterness against
him. He thought he should have fastened back
as without doubt he should have done. 1t
was only few days later that the mother was
arrested, and Ill as she was, they took her
away to prison IN litter. The Count got
timely warning and made his escape. 1t
was impossible for his sister to accompany
him; also he did not believe they would arrest
her, in her condition, and as she was the wife
of an Englishman. He should have known
that Russians are without pity mercy"

No, Natalya did that. She escaped and
took the baby with her, and young Stepan,

great confusion at the chateau. and the few
who knew that two children were born doubt

For the rest, Natalva remained in hiding
for some three years, and then rejoined the
Count at the old house near Zizcsky, the hunting
lodge. 1t was all he had left, though he had
patched up peace with the Government He
had friends at court in those days.

CITY CLEANLINESS.

Elsewhere in this paper is an ac-
count of the plans being made at
Spokane for the fourth annual clean
ing day when residents, young and
old, will unite to remove unsightly
accumulations and to plant seeds and
generally beautify their city. Many
other towns are doing the same thing.
The list of communities which have
organized their people for civic i'm
provement of the kind is long one
not appear there. The reason is a
simple one; this town lacks a leader.
There exists here the opportunity of
a lifetime for some hopeful energetic
person, man or woman, and who has
a desire to be of benefit to his or her
fellow beings, to do a great work. In
no community does there exist a
citizenship as responsive to all good
causes as that to be found in North
Yakima. In few is there SO much
TALK, sometimes verging on hyster-
les, over public matters where SO
little real progress is made. In in
dividual effort matters this city can
take rank with the most alert and
thriving but in those things which are
more community affairs there exists
at once a lack of direction and n
failure of achievement This. is
noticeably true in connection with
the cleanliness of streets and alleys,
unused lots and such places. The
spring. with its uplift, its inspiration
for life and purity, is here. VIII it
produce in North Yakima a single day
of united effort along tho lines to be
followed in Spokane?

THE CARELESS VOTER.

In this time of dissatisfaction with
parties and with the government. very
many citizens find fault With the au-
and continue this almost as though
a personal wrong was being done to
themselves. Still, it is true, that the
greatest wrong a free people ever
suffer is perpetuated by themselves.
Free and enlightened government is
not somthing which comes upasked
to men; there has to be a struggle
to obtain it. then perpetual struggle
to retain it. Men every day speak
contemptuously of the small politi-
clan, forgetting that if he performs
his duty each citizen in a free cOuh-
try must be something of politician
and must do his part not only to his
country generally, but to his town
or city, and even to his ward In the
city. Indeed. local self-government
is the first essential, for when the
local self-governments are all carried
on with wisdom and integrity, the ag-
gregate extending over the Whole ma
king the whole system perfect. Then
too when corrupt legislature or con-
gress or even a city council, has con-
troll, then we know that a majority of
the voters of that state or county or
city are corrupt at least in this-they
have neglected their duty at prima-
ries and on election days and have
thus permitted unworthy men to OBJ
tain the offices. Weekly.

WORLD WIDE VICTORY?

Despite the cry of white elephant"
despite injunctiOns, despite all the
wiles and tricks of beneficiaries of
cipal ownership of public utilities is
gradually conquering the civilized
world, says the San Francisco Bulle-
tin. Every year hundreds of cities
discard the old system that raises up
and maintains private monopolies for
the exploitation of the many. The
welfare of the modern city demands
that it's public utilities be conducted
in a manner that will yield the great
est good to the greatest number, and
nothing can stop the worldwide
movement which, by doing away with
a great source of evil, would make
cities freer and better.
Evidence of the progress of the mu-
nicipal ownership idea is furnished
by the returns OF the recent election
in London. In that staid old city the
party favoring municipal ownership
of public utilities gained twenty-on
seats in the county council and is
now on equal terms with its oppon-
ents, the council being evenly divided.
Such an advance, achieved in what
was long the great stronghold of
mossback conservatism, means that
the old system is doomed. In fifty
years from now. perhaps less. a civ
lie utilities will be an anachronism.

Theodore Roosevelt. Kings and en-
lists, soldiers and statesmen, learned
societies and legislative assemblies
are preparing to give him a. trium-
plant welcome. He has received in
vitations from nearly every city of

Europe. He has been asked to lee

home by their sovereigns to act rs

ambassador, Baron Mayor des Plan

Theodore Roosevelt is today the
best-known and undoubtedly the
most popular man in the world, and
his triumphal invasion of Europe has
no parallel in history. No pri'1lte
citizen of any country has ever been
offered the honors and the attentions
he will receive. and he will bear them
off as CALAMITY and as gracefully as
any human being could do. General
Grant received great many honors,
and he left a permanent impression
upon every class of sciety wherever
he went by his simple dignity, his
reticence and the prestige of his
militar renown, but Roosevelt repre-
sents the other extreme of American
individuality, and his reception and
entertainment will correspond

A Kansas man got divorce from
his wife because after forty-fve years
of wrestling before the Lord--nnd in
her presence-in her behalf she would
not kneel in prayer with him. Per-
with her as well as with the Lord It
might have helped. There IL a ira
dition that certain pious citizen of
North Yakima who had a rebellious
wife of this sort calmly took his fist
to her ON one occasion and forced her
to her knees. Thereafter he had no
further trouble at family prayers.
The Herald does not recommend this
method, but only points it out as a
plan that has been tried with sue
cess and that had the merit of not
breaking up the family.

Did you ever see or hear the doe

atically or forcibly stated? The Her.
aid has frequently observed that the
insurgent attitude seemed susceptible
of no other construction and has peen
chided for the observation. Now
comes the Indianapolis paper and
raises a banner with that very senti-
ment inscribed there in words so
plain that they have attracted the at
teption of Mr.. Bryan's Comm oner.

them, suffering and fatalities were in
evitable; but the love of exaggeration
which possesses most Adventures
made the experiences seem more

The fact that many tender women

they were painted.
The fact is becoming pretty well

of California, is destined to be over
Swallowed some day by its agrcul
tural production. For ten years or
more the government has been MAIN

possibilities in that country where the
soil is virgin and. the long days of

Is becoming better and better known,
and the government having awakened
to the need of conservation, and hav-
ing made arrangements to survey and
put on the market a considerable
quantity of the best agricultural lands
suitable for homesteading, there is
likely to be developed a considerable
agricultural community in the very
near future. One big advantage to
the farmer in Alaska will be that
home market will consume all he can
produce for years to come.
