instance those who were acquainted
with the redoubtable Trepoff knew
that he was not satisfied. A dozen or
more men, who were placed In con-
finement Immediately after the explo-
sion, might or might not be guilty, but
Trepoff knew In his own mind that he
had not captured any of the princi-
pals.
The months heightened into year,
and still he had not run across the per-
son who was guilty of this great out
rage. But the case was never out OF
his mind day or night, and scarcely a
week passed by that he did not invent
some new scheme for bringing the gull
ty man to justice. From time to time
persons were arrested for minor po-
litical offences, and in these instances
he closely scrutinized the evidence In
order to form some connecting link
with the affair of the explosion at the
winter palace.
One morning one of the secret
agents informed him that number OF
men had been seen in the vicinity OF
the winter palace carrying bamboo
canes. That. In itself, did not seem
like a very extraordinary proceeding.
but the fact that number of persons
carried the same sort OF walking stick

worthy of report to the chief OF po-

ear had arranged splendid dinner
IN honor of the Prince of Bulgaria.
1t was state affair and all of the de-
tails were planned on a scale of
grandeur commensurate with the
greatness of the Russian empire. Five
minutes before the royal guests had
assembled in the state dining room
there was dynamite explosion in the
imperial palace. The mine had been
set in the basement and the explosion
pierced the two stone floors and made
gap ten feet long and six feet wide
IN the dining hall in which the table
mad already been laid for the dinner.
Tie explosion killed five men of the
police guard and injured thirty-five
others.

vailed. The car, of course, realized

out he was terrified to think that they

and that the explosion which had just
taken place was intended to encom-

members of the royal family.
The conspiracy in this case seemed

Reading Of the Homes Of Antiquity
Should Make Us Complainant Our
Own Homes.

Hello, Central, give me heaven!"
That is what the young man said when
he installed the new telephone in the
study and wanted to test 1t. At once
they connected him with his home and
he found the instrument working to his
intense satisfaction. And he had been
married several years, at that.
The general level of the American
home Is pretty high, If we may Judge
by the external signs of comfort-the
average quality Of the houses, foods
that come from all over the world,
good clothes, schools for children, with
text books furnished free, in many
places, large and attractive parks for
recreation, or, better still, open coun-
try, and luxuries like the telephone in
almost all homes, whether In city or
country. And, If we Judge by the SEN
timents Of orators and writer's, espe-
cially the apostrophes of the poets, we
may be led to imagine that Eden Is
blooming and even booming here in
our country, the lost Paradise regained.
We certainly have right to be some
what complaisant over our homes when
we read about the homes of antiquity.
When Mrs. Wigs was asked If she did
not feel her privations, she gave good
long list Of her blessings and asked In
| reply, "Ain't you proud you amt got
| q hare 1ip?" We may be proud we are
not part Of an old Roman home, for
instance. To use a Hibernicism, 1t
| would not be home at all. The Latins
had word for family and one for
| house, but none for that something
| which family In house constitutes,
which we call home. The family, with
or without children, plus the house
| form something called home, a thing
more easily spoken Of than described.
Well, the Romans had no word for
that, because they had no need for such
a word. And whenever we catch any
one trying to .reestablish such a do
mestio anachronism and monstrosity
in our land and time, it is taken In
hand either by the white caps or the
blue coats, or the petticoats, them
selves.
It takes at least two persons to make
home, and in the Roman house there
was only one, the man. The woman
was not person, in her own right. I'M
der the law. She could not intervene
in the government of the family. If
one of the children wanted to get mar
ried, her consent was not necessary.
II her husband wanted to put her to
death or leave her for handsomer
woman, he had right to do so, with
out legal process or prejudice. Seneca
speaks Of his friend, Macaenas, as
having been married thousand times.
He was certainly living up to his priv
| ileges. And Cicero, the ideal orator, re-
pudiated his wife Terentia, In order to
escape from his creditors, by using the
money he would get with his new wife,
Publia, and he afterward repudiated
Publia After awhile they improved the
laws little, by having what they
called free marriages, somewhat like

them went to the witches or the slave

That same wise and noble Seneca said
1t was not anger but reason to thus
separate the useless from the sound. Il
we were hunting for home in Greece
we would not fare any better, even
where esthetic and intellectual culture
was the very highest. There was purity
among the women of the early Ger.
mans till the Romans took them over.
but even there the wives were bought
and could be sold and beaten at pleas
ure.
There Is space left to speak of two
facts about the American home. One
Is that 1t Is safeguarded by just and
generous laws. The reason for this Is
that the people themselves hold in
their deepest consciousness and con-
victions the sentiments that are essen
tial In the home; and the legislatures
and courts have given them what they
were taught by the home to give.
Every child is guaranteed protection
against brutal treatment: SO is every
woman: so Is every man, II he should
need such protection. The state re-
serves the right to take away any
member of the family thus mistreated.
Another fact is that the American
home has been the most powerful In.
stitution in generating tides of patriot.
ism and education and In conserving
the treasures Of religion. It has felt
the need of schools. and, under urgent
home sentiments, the leaders have
gone forth to found and fashion educa-
tional agencies to assist the home In
its nurture of the young. The home,
rather than the state, has been the
nursery of patriotism, as mothers have
taught and fathers have showed their
children how to live for the land they
love. And religions mightiest work
has been done in aiding the home In its
sacred tasks.
And two very hopeful signs encour.
age us. One is that the psychologist
has invaded the home. He Is studying
the institution as whole and in de-
tail, especially mothers and boys. The
great international home congress,
just held In Brussels, helped. The
children's exhibit on home condi-
lions. now being prepared by some
men and women In New York, will
help some. The other sign Is that
movements are starting in the home
for self-inspection and seif-rectfflca-
ton. 1t has got as far as the mother
and we have mothers clubs. Next we
must have fathers clubs for the study
of the whole situation. We have boys
and girls clp5s, but no sons' and
daughters CLUBS As yet. These VIII
