RUSSIAN SPY

alton for the convenience of the
cars government.
Shishkin's business was to invent
revolutiOnaries for the Russian gal
lows. He was paid $4,000 year by
Plehwe, and $1,000 by Stolypin, and as
his salary went up so did his tribute OF
death. But at last he blundered.
He demanded from a certain Smirn-
off of Moscow $500, otherwise hand
you over to the okbrana as terrorist"
Hitherto Shishkin had done this sue
cessfully with liberals, but. now by
mistake he had hit upon notoriou :

than Shishkin himself
Smirnoff complained to the okhrana,I
as Russians call the secret police. Now,
though the okhrana delights in hang
ing innocent men, it does not let it's
subordinates pocket the blackmail. So
it made trouble for Shishkin and Shish-,,
kin fled.
The police pursued. Shishkin had
many adventures. He interviewed 4
the governor Of Tver as a newspaper
man, while detectives were seeking him
in the disguise of a monk. At khark-
off he escaped in coffin. At length
he got to Warsaw, where he fell in
love with a round-faced Dutch girl
named Roestfus. Tracked by detect
ives, he fled onward again.

ITALY'S FINANCIAL
POWER SURPRISING
By Henry Wood.


Rome Correspondent of the United
Press.)
ROME, Nov. Gone of the greatest
surprises to Europe, growing out Of
Italy's war with Turkey, has been the
financial strength of the former coun-
try, heretofore ranked as one of the
poorer of Europe. While throughout
the entire conflict, semitranquil as it
may have. been, the press has
been inclined 70 admit that Italy's ma
val and military success has given the
country an entirely new ranking
amongst the European powers as re-
CARDS war strength, it is only recently
that the press began to occupy itself
with the even more amazing financial
side.
With the close of the first year of the
war, September 30, Italy had spent in
round numbers $94,O00,000. OF this,
some $17,OO0,000 was spent in naval
operations, and about $76,400,000 in
military operations.
The surprise, however, has not been
SO much at the cost of the war, as at
the fact that Italy has been able to
raise every "soldo" of it at home, with
out a foreign loan or assistance from
foreign bankers. In addition, no extra
taxes have been imposed, save slight
stamp tax, and there has been no inter
ruption of public works.
At the commencement of the war
italy had on hand a war emergency
'und amounting to some 100000. At
he end of the fiscal year for 1912, in
place of an $8,000,0O0 surplus to the
budget that had been expected, there

Never Again

We said, last week, that Governor
Plaisted can never be elected to the
Office of Chief Executive again.
He can't.
Evidences are accommodating day
by day that he can't.
Reports are coming in from scores
of places over Maine that men who
voted for him last election will not
vote for him again.
That applies to every misguided

And what lot of EN- prohibition

Christian citizens, old-time Republi-
cans who thought they saw better
things ahead.
And they are the most Disguised
ones in the whole State, and they do
not hesitate to tell you so. They were
independent enough to vote as they
thought right, now they are independ-
ent enough to tell you frankly tnat
to tell you frankly that they made a
they made bad mistake.
But they are all swinging back In
to line. 1t is sure a Republican year,
unless the Taft Roosevelt factoinal
fight in the nation has disastrous eff
feet here in Republican Maine.
No matter what happens, Frederick
w. Plaisted is serving his only term
of Office.
He will need to move to some other
cline where he can work his pre-elec-
tion-promise proposition on another
less enlightened people.
Once Is enough; twice Is altogether
too much.

BY degrees, the people of the United
States are coming to learn that when
they selected William Howard Taft
as President of the United States, they
selected a man who had the courage
of his convictions. By degrees, also,
these same people are coming to learn
that the Nation cannot get along with
out his services. Strange-passing
strange-that Theodore Roosevelt
cannot see it.
