AMPLY PROVED THEIR SKILL
According TO This Story, Russian
Workers In Metal Had Marvel

The Russian peasants, of course, are
neither scientists ng technologists;
but even they think shat they can do
q few things-ane especially work
metals-as skillfully as anybody. A
century or two ago, according to folk
tale current In Russia, the gossudar
(the czar) called together a dozen
or more peasants who had a reputa.
ton for skill in the working OF met
ais, and exhibited to them steel
flea, Of natural size, which had been
made In Germany" and had been
sent to him, partly as q gift and part
ly to show the delicacy of the Ger
man smiths work. The gossudar hand
ed 1t TO the peasants on a plate and
said:
Look at that! You think that you
can work metals; bat don't believe
there's one of you can duplicate that
steel flea"
The peasants said, Perhaps not,
batushka little Father; but If you
VIII let US take the flea home. we Will
see what we can do"
The csar consented, and they re-
tired A day or two later they reap
peared, and with low waist bows pre-
sented to their monarch on a plate the
same German flea. but without the ex-
pected duplicate

make another | knew you Couldn't"
VIII your majesty deign to look at
the tles through magnifying glass?"
replied the peasants.
A glass was brought. and upon close
inspection ii was found that the Rus
sian metal workers had shod the Ger

wooden chest that had weathered both

for the good-hearted old mariner had
been distributing the presents he had
brought from far away dimes.
There were genuine cashmere
shawls, Russian sable furs, a string
OF pearls, toys for the children. Hor-
tense, the young lady OF the Waters
family, was admiring In the mirror a
jeweled bseastpin that Ben bluntly
admitted had cost him two thousand
dollars.

Mary and Dale began their new life
In a modest way Bright employment

blighted by the failure of the firm

Always was the cherished Borneo
apple hung from a hack In the wall

animal and put 1t out OF doors after

times. He came back to the dining
room to find Mary In tears over the
