Charm.

81 mean by charm" writes Arthur
C.. Benson in a delightful essay on
Charm" in the Century, mot mere
superficial gracefulness which can be
learned, as good manners are learned,
through a certain code of behavior,
but a thing which is the flower and
outward sign of a beautiful attitude
to life; an eagerness to welcome
everything which is fine and fresh
and unstained; that turns away the
glance from things unlovely and vio-
lent and greedy not in a disappearing
or a self-righteous spirit, because it
Is respectable to be shocked, but in a
sense of shame and disgrace that such
cruel and covetous and unclean things
should be. II one takes figure like
that Of St. Francis Of Assist, who for
all the superstition and fanaticism
with which the record is intermingled,
showed a real reflection and restora-
ton of the old Christian Joy Of life,
we shall see that he had firm hold of
the secret"

JUST AS AN ILLUSTRATION
Yorkshire Man Had His Reasons for
Desiring Salesman to Repeat His
"SeIling Talk"

A commercial traveller had been
talking his hardest, his most eloquent,
his most persuasive for nearly an hour
to a shrewd old Yorkshire business
man. The old fellow seemed convinced
and pleased and the traveller thought
he had his fish landed. But the York
shire man said:
There's ma lad, Jock. Aid lake
him to hear what we have to say. VIII
we COON this afternoon and go over
your talk again."
Certainly, sir, with pleasure" re-
piled the traveller heartily, and at the
hour appointed presented himself
again for the interview with father
and son. Again he went over the
points of the article he had to SELL
forcibly, eloquently, persuasively.
Never had he acquitted himself of a
finer selling talk"
When he had finished the old York
shire man turned to his son and said
enthusiastically: do you hear that,
Jock? Well, now, that's the way

He went to Prussia; he went to
Hanover; he went to Holland. At
Amsterdam he got job. 1t was work
ing in a shipyard as a common ship
wright. He caulked and planed and
scraped and painted. And he learned
how to make ship and how to sail
one. All that remained to know was
how to fight one. Experience would
teach him this.
When he left for home he took with
him 500 engineers, surgeons, ship
builders and artisans. He stopped
off in Vienna and inspected the Aus
trian army
When he got home he had to stop a
mutiny in his army, but he did it with
his characteristic punch, and set about
putting ginger into his people along
educational lines. He reformed the
calendar, adopted western systems of
enumeration, encouraged commerce.
and abolished much of the Mongol
style of dress and manner which had
always been Russia's.
All the while he was looking around
for another sea window. He found it
on the Baltic. He started his army
against the Swedes. who then con-
trolled the Baltic coast. He was de-
feated at Narva by Charles XII. His
troops were raw, but Peter kept his
nerve. He annexed part of Ingerman-
land, at the head of the Gulf of Fin
land. The Swedes were too busy else
where to take it back. And while
Peter kept them busy he started the
beginnings Of what later became st.
Petersburg, and later still Petrograd.
The first thing Peter did after cap
turing the site Of st. Petersburg was
to build the fortress of Saints Peter
the nucleus about which the city has
been built. The completion of this
fort marked a revolution In Russian
history inasmuch as 1t established
that country as one Of the Baltic pow
ers, and characterized its entrance
into the politics of the western world.
With his usual directness, Peter d.
vided the job of building the city be-
tween his lieutehants and himself,
keeping the hardest tasks for himself,
as was his way. The capital of Rus
STA had been Moscow. By 1912 sufi-
cient advance at ST Petersburg had
been made to permit the transferral
of the royal family to that point.
st. Petersburg had become a hobby
with Peter. He issued an edict order
ing peasants from all parts of the

ACKNOWLEDGMENT, In Russian,

in 1903, had a German ending. Moth

Peter the Great. Others said Peter
the Great hadn't named the city after
himself
1T isn't Petersburg. It's st. Pc

planned that the man who directed the
destiny upon which was founded mod
ern Russia had named his capital not
after himself but after st. Peter
But when it was all over, even
though many objected seriously, the
cars edict stands for Russia. st. Pc
tersbhrg was no more. Petrograd had
succeeded it!
1t is probable that could old Peter
the Great rise from his vault in the
fortress OF Saints Peter and Paul, he
would not give a well-worn Russian
kopeck what they called his city, so
long as they kept it open to the sea

Peter and Paul. perhaps the greatest
ruler the Muscovites ever had may
gain some chilly consolation from the
knowledge that had it not been for
him the present car would never have
been able to change the name OF St
Petersburg-for there would have
been no st. Petersburg to change.
Peter the Greats troubles began the
day OF his birth, in 1872. His father,
Car Alecei Mikhailovitch, died. His
half-brother was the heir, and sue
ceeded the father, but died without
Issue when Peter was ten years old.
He designated Peter as his successor,
despite the fact that he had an own
brother, Ivan. who was a real heir,
but was feeble-minded. Peter also
had half-sister, a belligerent soul,
with a love for power. She got up
revolution, and tried to prevent the
GROWING of her youthful half-brother.
There was a fight, and, as a compro-
mise, Peter and Ivan were crowned
Jointly, and Sophia, the half-sister, be-
came regent
Ihen followed trouble at home. Pc
ter tried to get rid of his regent sis
ter; she objected; another fight; more
pioodshed, and at last the sister was
smut up in a convent. Ivan then held
nominal reign, but Peter held the
helm. In 1896 Ivan died and left Pc
ter, then twenty-four, head of the Rms
sian people.
