Oriental Cross-Examination.

Occasionally we have an opportunity
to catch glimpse of ourselves exactly as
we appear to others. Such an opportu-
nifty came TO Miss Agnes Herbert, the
EngliShwoman who has written "Casuals
in the Caucasus" and her two cousins
arrayed in what they themselves consid-
cred fitting garments for a hunting expedi-
tion-while they were iourneying upward
in the mountains. escorted by their courier,
Ali Ghirik.
Now we struck a rough can-track,
whereon travelled itinerant Tatars, con-
veying good on packhorSeS TO far-away
corners ofthe mountains. Each wayfarer
had to stop and chat with Ali, from which
conversations our man was dragged with
difficulty.
Turgenieff told us OF the loquacity OF
Russians. II paleS into inSignificance be-
fore the unending stream OF talk which
flows from every Caucasian native.
Perhaps the constant delay irked us the
more because we ourselves were out OF
the interest OF the word -bandying. which
went on in Tatar. When we expressed
our sense of deprivation, Ali Ghirik said
that upon the next occasion he would
translate for us all that passed. This he
did in the following handsome manner:
"Aleikum p'-the salutation most in ia

Are they men or women ?"

WOODROW WILSON
ON ORGANIZATION
Governor of New Jersey Believes
In Honest Leadership of Big
Political Parties.
FIGHTS ONLY THE BOSSES"
He Says the Whole Country Is Now
Turning to the Democracy and
Looks to X for Future
Success.

There has been much talk by the op-
ponents of Gov. Woodrow Wilson OF
New Jersey to the effect that he is
opposed to all political organization.
Whether the governor took cognis-
ance Of these statements or not, in
his speech at Woodbury., N. ], he de-
clared himself in unmistakable terms.
After announcing his opposition to the
control OF organizations by small
groups Of men, he said: "Organiza-
ton is necessary to victory. Men
must understand each other and get
used to each other, and therefore they
must organize. One man cannot plan
for party, or carry out party's
plans alone; he must be helped by the
suggestions OF others. But an organ
ization must be formed for the serv-
Ice Of the state and not to help ind
viduals.
"All over the United States the peo-
pie are organizing and reorganizing.
They are tired Of having meddling
ullQUIe neu lul0IlcIt uolnOSh thOhA
and their affairs, and are determined
to take the business Of government In
their own hands. But they want union
and leadership They wish to replace
the boss OF the past with a leader, a
progressive patriot who will lead them
TO prosperity and happiness and good
government.
~You can See the trend Of the times
IN the organisation Of clubs to carry
out their ideas. These clubs are due
to the spontaneous desire Of men to
set together IN the interests Of good
government. There are and have been
political clubs formed for the pur-
pose Of keeping certain men in power
who use that power for their own ends
and purposes; but the clubs OF which
speak are not Of that kind.
The whole country is turning to the
Democratic party, and looks to 1t for
future success. I am heart and soul
with the organization OF the Demo
cratic party. In the campaign we are
about to enter upon, such an organize
ton with be needed, and we will carry
the old party to higher levels and
achieve a great victory"

"Oh, poor CecilyW cried Charlotte,
looking back from her place in the big
wagon as if moved away amid joyous
cries and waving haHdkerchiefs. "As if
it wasn't hard enough TO have to stay
behind without being pounced upon by
a bore See, she's in Miss Fifield'S
clutches already Miss Fifield must have
been lowering round the corner OF the
piazza waiting her chance. And there's
Cecily, chained by the ankle, obliged to
lie still and smile politely, while she
hears all those inane little stories over
again."
"It's dreadfulp agreed Marjorie. "I'd
rather put up with sprained ankle than
a bore any day-and TO have TO endure
both !"
Their neighbor, a wise and gray old
lady, always in demand as chaperon,
laughed good-naturedly.
"Poor Miss Fifield-not poor Cecily,"
she diSsented. T'll admit she's no ac-
QUESTION TO group of takers, dear soul.
She's too polite not to try 10 do her share,
and she has been through too much TO
be mentally agile any more. She can't
keep up with the give and take and the
sudden shifts and changes of general
conversation. Her remarks do sound
inane sometimes, and her little stories
are not always apt. But-do you know
why?
at is the result of long nervous strain
and grief. She was the eldest sister in
an orphaned family. She brought up
two sisters and two brothers on narrow
income. The older sister, just as she
had won scholarship and was about to
enter college, contracted tuberculosis.
She made brave fight, but within two
years she died Then the two brothers
were drowned by the overturning OF a
canoe, - drowned under Miss Fifield'S
eyeS,-and she was nearly drowned her
self trying TO swim out to help them.
"Next year her other sister married.
and married unhappily. She had soon
to leave husband who drank, and threat
ened her life and her baby's, and now
mother and child are both on Anna FL
fields hands, and she's Saddled for life
with the care of them, for Nelly is poor,
foolish, soft creature, about as capable as
the baby.
"Last year Anna would have gone un-
der, physically, if she hadn't he'd herself
in hand by sheer will and courage. She
escaped a nervous wreck, but-She shows
the traces"
"I'm brute |" cried Charlotte, peni-
tently. "To call saint like that bore |"
"She isn't quite saint, and she's
sometimes a little tiresome," said the
wise old lady, smiling. "No, you weren't
a brute-but think you'll find that Ceciy
wasn't bored. Anna is still charming
when you get her alone, and she isn't
Hurried. Only, a worn mind is like
worn body-it needs little favorlng and
a little patience; and it needs to choose
its own pace. There are bores and boreS,
you see, my dear; stupid boreS to be
tactfully suppressed, arrogant bores to be
snubbed, and tired boreS, like Anna"
at isn't fair to call tirednesS tiresome-
ness" declared Marjorie. "We won't
let anybody call Miss Fifield bore-not
even you."
