the czar, 'T also felt i'll, feverish,

The empress tried to calm him
again. He smiled bitterly and hand
ed her a document bearing numerous
notes in red ink.
The empress made an effort to ap-
pear calm as she read the document,
for she felt that the emperor was
watching her closely.
What wicked people! Savages!"
said the empress as she looked up to
him.
That is exactly what is troubling
me-" replied the emperor with a sad.
forced smile. Il should not like to
leave to my son heritage in such a

The empress advanced to him and
took his hand.

And you, would you want to re-

smiled strangely. His eyes were cold
and moist.
The empress shuddered at these
words. She released his hand and
looked at him fixedly.

voice, 81 have wanted to speak to you

there were tears in her eyes.

not know of the horrors that were per,
petrated in Russia, and when she
learned of them she consoled herself
in the thought that all the cruelties
directed against the Russian people
were not committed by order of the
car. She believed that the car, like
herself, was ignorant of what was 60

the clique surrounding her, upon their
hypocritical smiles and greetings. but
she was unable to change anything
even in the palace. 1t was then that
she became seriously ill.
When the empress had recovered
she divided her time between her chill
dren and her desk. She turned once
more to the reading of books and also
devoted considerable time to writing,
Nevertheless the feeling that she was
alone and misunderstood in the palsce
weighed heavily upon her. She grew
ever more and more melancholy.
One day, after having worked for
some time upon the tragedy she was
writing, the empress entered the
cars study. She found him seated ar
his desk looking over numerous dozen.

Then it was that Mr.. Lewis came to YOU
with the claim that he favored this
measure and was responsible for its
passage. Past events have shown how
idle has been his contention along this
line and we believe that the voters will
remember it on election day. A poor
record on tariff legislation should not
be forgotten and covered up by his vain
claims as the father of parcels post.
The other candidate before the people
for this office is a man with whom con-
sistency to the principles of the Repub-
lcan party has always been funda-
mental issue. Mr.. Wagaman has never
jumped from one party to another but
thru long years of service to the party
with which he is connected has well
earned the Office which he now seeks.
Only once has he held Office and that
was as States Attorney for Washing
ton County and that he made good is
amply shown by his popularity among
his own people. He has always stood
squarely on the principle of protection
to our industries and being a farmer as
well as lawyer is peculiarly interested
in maintaining protective tariff for the
benefit of the farmer. He knows the
interests of the farmer and if elected
to Congress can be depended upon to
work for them and to secure legislation
they most desire and need.
Starting as farm hand on one of the
farms of Washington county he has
worked his way along until today he
stands as one of the very best lawyers
in the state of MARYLAND. He has won
it by hard and persistent work and not
thru any pull. If elected to Congress
he promises to work for you IN this
same way and to give to his duties
there his very best efforts and labors.
A life of hard work has prepared him
for good service in Congress and if
elected can be depended upon to do the
right things for his constituents. He
stands for the principles that interest
and have benefited the people Of his
District; he has always been consistent
in the things he has advocated and
worked for; his promise that he will re-
present every class to the very best of
his ability and he will work for you and
the District ingeneral, can bedepended
upon. A vote for Mr.. Wagaman on
next Tuesday means vote for good
representative and for continued pros
perity. Remember this when you go
to the polls and then cast your ballot
for Mr.. Wagaman.
