FIRST YEAR OF THE
WAR IN THE EAST


The first twelvemonth Of fighting
between the Russians on one side and
tho Austrians and Germans on
the other is story Of great changes
Of fortune, both combatants being re-
peatedly driven back only to show
the greatest resliency in defeat and
soon to resume the offensive in most
surprising manner.
The end Of tho year, however, finds
the pendulum swinging strongly
against the czar. He may recover
and take again the roads to Cracow,
Vienna and Berlin but just at pres
cnt he is on the whole in worse plight
than in any hour since the war
started.
Russia's losses in the first year OF
the war arc not approached by those

TEDDY IS PARTICULAR
He Wouldn't Attend Hunters Banquet
With North Pole Peary.

New York, April 9.-Theodore
Roosevelt did not attend the annual
dinner of the Hunters Fraternity of
America Thursday night because he
heard Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary
would be there.
Much to the surprise of the colonel,
however, it was announced that Peary
was detained in Washington and could
not attend. This information was
given to Mr.. Roosevelt over the tele-
phone. He expressed his regret but
said he would not come to town at
such a late hour.

FRECKLE-FACE
Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots
How to Remove Easily.

Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face,
to try remedy for freck1es with the
guarantee of a reliable dealer that it
will not cost you a penny unless it
removes the freckles; while if it does
give you a clear complexion the ex-
pense is trifling.
Simply get an ounce of othine-
double strength-from any druggist
and a few applications should show
you how easy it is to rid yourself of
the homely freckles and get beauti-
full complexion. Rarely is more than
one ounce needed for the worst case
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine as this is the
prescription sold under guarantee of
money back if it fails to remove

the coming summer and winter The
dry goods dealers explain that this
prospect arises by dint of necessity
created by the war. The inability to
obtain German fast dyes that are used
almost exclusively in the manufacture
of American cloth, promises to close
the doors of the textile industry OF
the United States. The supply of red
cloth is practically exhausted, and the
amount of blue material, wooden and
cotton, is becoming so small that UNI

In the most obscure spot in all those
ancient hills l succumbed to an eX-
ecrable impulse to take her forcibly in
my arms and kiss her! l don't know
why l did it or how, but that is just
what happened. My shame, my horror
over the transcendental folly was made
almost unbeatable by the way In which
she took it. At first thought she had
swooned, she lay so limp and unre
sisting in my arms. My only excuse
whispered penitently in her ear, was
that couldn't help doing what had
done and that deserved to be drawn
and quartered for taking advantage of
my superior strength and her gentle
forbearance. Strange to say, she mere

wonder and quietly released herself,

most ineXplicable puzzle in the world.
Her cheeks, her throat, her brow grew
warm and pink with a just indigna
ton. Her lips parted, but she uttered
no word. Then l followed her defect
eddy, cravenly back to the roadside and
executed an inward curse that would
hang over my miserable head so long
as it was on my shoulders.
Her vivacity was gone. She shrank
down into the corner of the seat, and,
with her back half turned toward me,

was somewhat relieved to see that she

My soul was in despair. She loathed,

time allowed myself to think of the
act l had committed
The day was glorious one and the
road more than passably good. We
bowled along at steady rate of speed
and shutdown found us about twenty
five miles from our destination. Not
caring to run the risk of prolonged
stay in the town, we drew up at a
roadside inn and had our dinner in the
quaint little garden, afterward pro-
ceeding leisurely by moonlight down
the sloping highway.
Billy Smith met us six or eight miles
out, and we stopped to parley. He ex-
