Representative Michael e. Conry of
New York used to be employed in the
coal mines of Pennsylvania. One
morning as he was going to work he
met another Irishman all fixed up in
his Sunday clothes.
What's wrong?" asked Conry.
sNothin wrong" answered the other
laborer.
But what's happened?'
"Nothin's happened. A mans got to
show some respect for the dead"
What dead?"
"Oh. that Polander ! worked with

Manchuria. This fact was largely re-
sponsible for the defeat OF Russian
arms In the far East.
This change In the line of defense on
the west shortened the length of the
line.
AT the time there was much COM
ment to the effect that Poland had
thus been left exposed because OF the
failure OF the Poles to show more en-
thusiasm for united Russia. but this
was mere political gossip.

REVELATION WAS TOO MUCH
Picture Of "Hollering Jones" at Fa-
vorite Diversion Caused Him
to Reform.

A well-known illustrator, who makes
interesting western pictures, once
made the acquaintance of noisy but
good-natured cowboy who rejoiced in
the appellation Of "Hollering Jones'
In physical appearance this man was
typical of his kind, and the artist made
several studies of him. both In re-
pose and In his favorite diversion of
"hollering. Some of the studies were
sold by the artist to an eastern maya
zine. They showed Jones in his most
violent state.
A year later the artist again visited
the region. He was soon approached
by Mr.. Jones himself, bearing one Of
the pictures, which he had torn from
the magazine in which its was printed.
Pointing to it, he asked:
rs that me?"
"Well," replied the artist, evasively,
Il got the general idea from you, of
course, but"
oh, amt takin' no offense," Jones
made haste to say IT'S all right; only
II it's me, say So"
If you put it to me that way said
the artist, Il can only reply that it is
a fairly good portrait of you"
"The men here on the ranch agree
with you. So look like that when !
holler, do II"
Il think you do"
in that case" said Hollering Jones,
"all I've got to say is that Hollering
Jones has hollered his last holler.
Hereafter, when ! celebrates, does
so with tin horn. In my own opin-
ion, no man has right to look like
that-not round white folks, anyhow. .

st. Petersburg Is well defended from
the sea. Situated at the head Of the
Finnish gulf, more than 200 miles
from the entrance to the gulf 1t can
be protected by defenses on the main
land on either side.
kronstadt, which lies within view of
the capital, has long since been aban-
doned as a means Of defense
Across the very mouth OF the Fin
nish gulf is the new line on which the
Russians rely to safeguard their CAPT.

Revel-Sveaborg line. Revel is just
around the corner on the south and is
Russia's principal naval port on the
Baltic. Sveaborg is near Helsingfors,

Islands Complete Line.
There are small islands between
these two points, which are used to
complete the line Of defense. At no
point In this line is the distance be-
tween batteries more than 80 miles. 1t
will be difficult line to cross.
Almost at the very mouth of the Fin
nish gulf, little to the north. and ly.
ing between Finland and Sweden. are
the Islands of Aland.
Russia wished to obtain these islands
some years ago to complete her new
plan of defense, but has not been able
to do so.
1t was here that the naval encounter
took place in which the Russians
were driven back into the Gulf of Fin.
land to their main line Of defense. The
Germans now hold the position in the
islands, which furnish cover and pro
lection to them. From this position
they could land forces In Finland
along the Gulf Of Bothnia coast. But
Finland is a difficult country through
which to make progress on foot or by

electricity could be purchased from

The task which you have impos-
ed upon us was a rather difficult one,
because of the difficulty in seperat-
ing the theoretical cost as given by
engineers and manufacturers of ma
chinery from the real or practical
cost, which, of course, can only be
learned by actual results obtained by
operation. In considering this cost,
we have confined ourselves to the
| cost pei. k w h delivered at the switch
board, including interest and depre-
citation. We have entirely omitted
and eliminated all cost of distriDu-
ton for the reason that the cost OF
distribution would remain the same
whether electricity was manufacture
ed on the old plant or on a new one
operated by steam or on a new plant
operated by oil engine or If the cur
rent was purchased from private
parties delivered at the switchboard.
