BEATING RAILROAD FARES IN
 RUSSIA One Out of Every Five Russians Rides Free by Slipping a Fec to
 the "Kondukter."

More than 94S,OO0 people were last year caught travelling on the Russian state railroads with forged tickets or with no tickets at all.
 How many travelled in this way with ably several millions. At any rate, the legend is that one out of every five Russians travels without ticket.
 It is so easy to do this successfully that tIcketless travellers are known as "hares." "Zaytsi" is the word. To travel as a hare" is the ambition of every Russian, and it is rare Russian who does not succeed at least once.
 Just before former Premier Kokovt- self resigned he received tbe report of the ministry of communications for 1912 In it was a statement about the 9S4,12O "hares" and also a statement that in 1912, 1S,7O3 railroad officials were prosecuted, dismissed, degraded or punished with disciplinary fines for tolerating or conniving at the free trips of the "hares" This shocked Ko- kovtseff.
 Not only did he hate dishonesty,
  thieves, but he was also finance min ister and Russias finances badly need ed the money which is pocketed by the "hares" and their allies, the grating officials Kokovtseff put on that blush which he always wears when. angry, and then talked seriously to M. Ruchloff, then minister of communica- tions. But Ruchloff gave a shrug and said "Nitchevo", which means that the million "hares" don't matter, and inti- mated that all devices have been tried against them in vain.
 Ever since Nicholas I built the first short railroad from St. Petersburg to Tsarskoe Selo sixty years ago travelling as a hare" has been the fashionable system. The system flourishes because the administration helps the "hares." The simplest way of travelling as a "hare' is to get into your car without a ticket and hand the 'konduktor" a reasonable fee.
 The "konduktor" makes the military salute and lets you travel free.
 If the "kontroller," who controls the conductor, boards the train, the "kon- duktor" simply pushes you under a seat or sells you a ticket which he has in reserve. Or he takes the 'kontroller'' aside and gently gives him half your modest bribe.
 Kokovtseff tried hard to get a law passed which could adequately punish the "hares". Under the present law the railroad officials can be severely pun ished, but the hare is let off on pay ment Of a double fare. Kokovtseff wanted to send the "hares' to jail. The trouble is that the "hare," when caught, puts on an innocent face and swears he has lost his ticket.
 Numerous ministers have tried to kill "hares," but always with the same result. The "hares" multiply-like rabbits.-From the New York Press.

REPLY BY MIR. CLARK TO JUDGE
 HAWKINS

HUBERT w. CLARK, CANDr- DATE FOR JUDGE OF THE SU~ PERIOR COURT, deprecating at tempted vote getting by misrepresen- taton of facts and appeals for pity, replies to Judge Hawkins:
 MT Editor: In your issue of the End inst. Mr. Hawkins airs griev- ance against me MT. Hawkins is in error; never at any time did I crti- else that esteemed lady, his wife.
 The remarks 1 made at Tempe were brought out by MT Hawkins assertion that he had quit a ten thousand dollar law practice in Texas to come here for his wife's health. I asked. thereupon, why, if Mrs. Hawkins health required her to re- turn to Texas, he did not also return to his ten thousand dollar practice in the same state and have his wife with him, and his large practice, rather than remain in Arizona, sep arated from his wife, and beg for a position paying only about two- fifths as much.
 In the same communication MT. Hawkins repudiates relationship with a lady who criticised his candidacy I know nothing of the incident.

THE TRoUBADoUR's SONG

Here where the curven steel furrowed
 the field From spring of the sowing to autumn
 the yield. High in the heaven blue, song swal-
 lows wheeled. High in the heavens the waiting
 hawk reeled: Down in the valley the parish folk
 kneeled. Came down the mountain way, sabers
 and spears. Battle that echoed throughout the
 long years, Awoke in the women's hearts ans
 wering fears. They knew the sorrow and weight
 of their tears. Away from the toll of peace, sprang
 up to arms, Turned fortress and battle field
 farmhouse and farms, Sang their defiance in all their
 alarms. This was the song that the trouba-
 dour sang. Empty the valley now blackened and waste, Weed-g.own the fields where blow men made haste, rang, This was the song that the trouba- . dour sang.
