OUT OF BONDAGE.

f"The results already are seen In the
peasantry. They are beginning TO look
like different race. Marks of suffer.

from their faces. Their clothes are

The above is an excerpt from a
news dispatch from far away Petro-
grad. telling OF the enforcement of
the Cars order banishing intoxi-
cants of every description from his
vast domain. and the effects already
noted of tho revolution in the civic
morals of this land of one hundred
and fifty million souls. It Will
probably strike some as a most re-
marIable statement of facts. But
there is nothing remarkable about 1t,
Jr at least, about that portion Of the
dispatch telling Of the wondrous
change that has been wrought in the
life of the peasantry; It is remark
able though that nation wide prohi-
bition should have been declared in
Russia. q land which we have been

Washinqton's Only Joke.

Washington was deficient was humor.
One of the very few jests he ever
made-perhaps the only one-has de-
scended to posterity on the authority Of
his aid-de-camp. Colonel Humphreys.
General Washington rather prided
himself on his riding. so the colonel
one day when they were out hunting
together dared him TO follow over one
particular hedge. The challenge was
accepted, and Humphreys led the way.
He took the leap boldly, but to his con
sternation found that he had mistaken
the spot and was sunk up to his horses
girth in quagmire. The general Ell
