The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1911-09-08

one. The czar is the head of both ax1
when one sees the power of tkh twG
welded together in the single hauS al,
the czar, it is possible to pGrtialIF or.
derstand how such difficult and pxrsss.
ural things can be done. how the grS&S
army can be maintained and the gcsax
wars waged. don't like the Raestss
form OF government, but must e&uft
that it makes her great world p0weS'
and one that the other nations Gf esrss
world for many years to come viii 6zla
to be a dangerous Antagonist. Esy
chief danger as l see it, lies in Esc Ic-
contented people. Not only TIE Fsut
inces but the people of Russi& grcHsf-
are inclined to find fault witt Gre
strong hand which rules them withaet
asking for their views or wisher.
FEW SPEAK ENGLISH.
1T is almost impossible to find &a1y
in the streets or public buildings qc

may be curious to know how I tauEG
out what was going on in court. wsI,
sometimes have worked il cue wsf7
and sometimes another, but at McsNG&
for the first time 1 hired an intecpect1r,
and paid him six rubles ($s9 foc fja
time for the entire day. This man wusu
formerly member of the Chicago Eus-
lice force and Is still an American CITE
zen. He met and married RCss.sx
girl at Chicago. She got homesick x1&
they went to Port Arthur and ran 6
hotel. At the time of the Russiau-J So
anese war their hotel was a victim atZ
Japanese shells; his two little senSwervA
killed, his wife and himself both infrt.
ed and all their property destroyed Eyn
and his wife then came up to Mosrae
where they have lived ever since, 90 SsR
not only can speak good Russiar xEk
English, but understands the courte ds.
both America and Russia. j got sEsnsz
fine until got down into the tGwest
court of all, like our police court. T~G
lawyers were each standing with thrdr
clients and arguing to the court akpQug
few rubles claimed to be due q wCck-
man from his boss who ran sirgrss
repair shop. There was no one sse Nsn
the room except the interpert<r aad
myself. l made some inquiry &C ca
what was going on and the judge sxw
me. l know he did not hear becsuss
was far back in the room and spoke ia
a very low whisper. / had deze thn
same in the highest court in Russis, bxt
this cheap judge who had sort OF ksrc
garoo court wanted to show his sxtkGt~
ity, and he called me proper. The Eru-
ceedings stopped, the four people stx1as-
ing in front of the court turned ar0EKS-
Among the things the court said wsss:
This is no beer hall. If you cowe iz az
listen, listen with your eyes end rSti
with your mouth. 1 did not kzQna a.
word he was saying at this time, cut &c
course could guess. / looked right a9
him and of course said nothing Afssr
he had said his say, the proceedirgs
continued. waited while &zd @xs
intending to show him that yellow sen
of the state of Michigan which cars,
with me if he called me up, and ia saf
event when the proceedings were esm
pleted, just to see wha. he would ksec
to say, but they began to bring VIZ
nesses in from an adjoining ROOM sxS
it looked as if he was going to be al tDs
afternoon with the one suit, so we ssst
and found out from the interpret~-
just what he had said. I'm grateful c.
this chap because he added to my list ct
experiences.
Every hour brings experiences waSst
l should like to tell to my friends sus.
talk over with them, but to write St
seems tedious and tiresome.
The more one sees of foreign Isxifs
the better they like home, Mickigsa
and the states"
