ONLY POLISH VILLAGE
WHERE ALL CAN READ
Poor Shepherd First Taught
Himself From a Prayer Book,
Then Taught Others.

WARSAW, Russian POLAND, Oct. -
In Peter Banasiuk's village all the
men, women and children know how
10 read and write, though the Russian
government has never allowed a
school OF any sort there.
\ village shepherd, Peter, was born
in VIOLA Orzechova over seventy years
ago AS he grew to manhood he no
ticed that not one OF his tellow-vll-
layers knew how 10 read and he was
just as ignorant Though mis- father
had been a simple serf, he longed 10
get knowledge. out the Russian gov
eminent took care that he and his
neighbors should remain ignorant
But Peter found a way. His par
ents had left him a prayer-book. in
which he found a prayer that he
knew by heart BY dint OF repeating
each word and studying the letters
as they came he not only managed
TO learn TO read himself. but taught
his seven children In the same way.
This meant more patience, than would
be deciphering hieroglyphics by an
expert; but Peter held on and con
quered
Then the villagers came TO be
taught and Peter gave some OF them
lessons on condition that they should
teach others, For many years there
has not been an illiterate man or wo-
man in the village.
Owing 10 the Russian government s
prohibition OF Polish schools, the per
centage OF illiterates sometimes runs
to 40 per cent In towns and more in
the country So Peters village holds
the record for the 100000 square
miles of the cars empire In the
steppes. SO per cent OF the population
Is illiterate.
In Poland people are severely pun
ished by fines and imprisonment Tor
teaching children 10 read and write
their mother tongue. Priests are fined
sums ranging from 100 TO 500 rubles.
and those who cannot pay go 10 prison
for each offense. Children meet In
lofts and cellars TO avoid the police
and bury their books in the ground.
Parents are fined as well as the teach
ers In many cases imprisonment
lasts for three months, When the
"offense" is repeated the priests are
forbidden to officiate, often exiled
How Peter escaped Is wonder to
all his friends He explains 1t by the
fact that he taught his pupils out in
the forests or in bitches, and only
one at a time" He never took a
cent for his lessons.

Everything is not moving satis- factorily to the men who have been connected with the insurrecto army in Sonora and many of the officers named for places in the districts and municipalities are objection able" said a resident of Douglas yesterday. who has been energetic in supporting the revolution in Mex leo and who has been at work for several years encouraging the re- volt which has finally driven Diaz from the presidency. This man was positive in his declaration that if the men chosen for provisional off cers at AgUa Prieta and at Fronteras were to be continued permanently in these positions there would be a condition of revolt prevailing again in the near future.
 Continuing he said: Men who were conspicuous in their support of the Diaz regime, up to the time the insurrecto victory became appar- ent to all quickly wheeled into line with their money, and it now seems that these men are directing things, while those insurrecto leaders who were barring their breasts to federal bullets are not consulted in mat ters of choosing officials. The comi- sariO at Agua Prieta is the same as was there before the coming of Liborio Vasquez and the judge at Frouteras is not regarded as loyal to the Maderists and will not please the real patriotic insurrectos."
 This gentleman said that the talk of putting down the Magon follow ing in Lover California ana m So- E.-a T-..- 4n not informed of the strength of the Magon followers. He said it would require an army of several thousand to suppress this element, who are following a leader who considers Madero as objectionable to the low CTS of liberty in Mexico as was Porfirio Diaz. He said that Colonel LOmolin, he understood. had named the provisional officers in this vicin- ity, but that this military officer is not supposed to have anything to do with the civil government or it's direction and that the officers now in power would probably be sup planted by the real provisional gov ernor in the near future, but he pre- dicted if they were not and men hay ing the confidence of the insurrec- JOS named, then he expected to see continued revolt
