IVAN AND THE DWARF.

"Ivan, come here at nee, or l will
give you "a taste of the LASH called
out a burly Russian to a small boy who
was busy herding some sheep in a pen.
Ivan was an orphan. Three years be-
fore his father had died and left the
boy in his uncle's care, but it had been
Il sad home.
So the lad was very miserable. In
this state Of mind he determined to
run away. Getting up at midnight he
crept downstairs and was O o on his
way alone through the forest, with
nothing but a bit of black bread in a
sac on his back. Presently he met a
blind nan coming through the woods
trying to drive a few lean cattle. But
the COWS would stray off. and the man
was having a hard time to keep them
with him.
II will drive you herd for you. sir"
said Ivan. (which way do you wish
to go?"
II am going to the meadows. about
a mile from here; it is the only spot
to which l know the way" replied the
blind man. IF you will care for my
COWS today. as / am sick, I will a

member, do not let the Black Dwarf

will steal your eyes. as he did mine.
One day, as l sat watching my cows.

(From the Brooklyn Eagle.)
Tl-s belligerents are wasting every day
enough money to maintain the entire
United States army for a year.
Europe is shooting away every week
enough money to replace the entire Penn
sylvania railroad system.
How much longer can the economic
waste and destruction be maintained
without collapse somewhere?
Will bankruptcy be the fate of all the
warning nations?
These questions are suggested by the
latest estimate of the cost of the present
carnage. Already the belligerents have
spent sums greater than ever before ex-
pended in any single enterprise in the
history of the world. There is no sign
anywhere of an end.
1T has been estimated. somewhat
roughly. that the first year of war cost
Europe $50, 600, 900, 900. This estimate is
probably under, rather than over, the
actual cost. Certainly, If one is to con
slider the economic waste in works and
men the cost must be considerably above
$40, 600. 600, 900. which is only the estimate
OF what has actually been spent.
Now. with the second year of war
started, the financial officers of the va
riouS warning nations have all increased
their estimates from a year ago, have
asked their governments for greater
credits, have devised ways and are de-
vising still other ways for raising new
revenues, which must be constantly in
creasing as time goes on.
Amount Reaches Billions.
A writer In one of the famous British
financial journals has placed the military
cost for the coming year at $2S, 500, 900, 900,
and then hurries to add that this is prob
ably too small a figure. He apportions
the burden as follows:
Sifeat Britain .................. 800, GOO, GOO
Russia S. OOO. 600 OOO
france 4,OUU,UUO,OU
Atdiy S,OOO,UUU,U VU
SIS, 500, 600, 600
Germany
A;ustria-Hungary .............s $40. 900. 600. 900
Turkey
Total for all ............... SIS, soc, 900, 600
This writer, after making his estimate,
points out that in all probability the fig
ures given for France and the Teutonic
allies are below what actual expenses will
be, and explains the reason for appor-
tfontng a greater sum to Russia than to
France as being due to the larger armies
and the resultant greater cost for equip
ment and maintenance for the former.
Incidentally, no notice is taken of either
Belgium or Serbia. the inference being
that the larger nations among the allies
will finance these two little brothers,"
No Estimate Of Damage Done.
But. with all this explanation as to why
these figures should be enlarged. they, in
themselves, are sufficiently great to place
the most awful strain on all nations con
cerned and. indirectly. on all the rest OF
the world. Taking the estimate of $2S,
500, 000, 1900 for the year. the average daily
cost would be approximately SIS, OOO,O 900
Add to this the economic waste on &C
