cases free of charge in accordance with
a written opinion rendered by Deputy

tically all defendants formerly evaded

American association. organized here in

Iations between the two countries. has
sttracted over 100 workers TO its ranks,
among whom are number Of prominent
public men.
Baron r, r. Rosen. former ambassador

workers. such as f. N. Barabot deMarny,

akov, ID. d. Protopopov and II. b.
Tschaikowski. At the first meeting the
former consul general In New York, Mr..
Dadijenski. expressed the opinion that
this association undoubtedly would meet
with great favor in America. Even al
the time OF the Russian-Japanese war
notwithstanding the agitation aimed
against Russia. the American statesmen
showed an interest in Russia and were
ready to establish friendly relations he
said.
Prof. Mijuev expressed desire to or
ganize an exchange of professors between
America and Russia. ID. ID. Protopopov
added the suggestion of organizing ex-
cursions to the United States. N. A,
okunev and others pointed out the ne
cessity of organizing an association in
New York, similar to that Of Petrograd.
Many of the members of tho Petrograd
association are acquainted with we'll
known American public workers, and
they were asked by the chairman to
lay the foundation for the organization
of a like association in America. The
suggestion that classes in English be
formed in connection with this organiEa-
ton in Petrograd met with great favor.

Baird Features in Role
Of GOOD Samaritan"

The Good Samaritan did not pass
beyond the grim mountains and enter
the Valley OF the Shadow, after he had
rendered first aid to the lonely tray
eler who had been beset by real estate
agents and left to die OF his wounds
in the shade Of the sage brush border
ing the trail through Lonesome Land
Many, citizens Of the Christian world
have long labored ander this delusion.
III fact for something near two thou
sand years it has been the popular
fallacy to think the ancient gentle
man, after binding up the cuts and
annointing the bruises of the way
farer, had given him, the said way
farer, a nip out OF his private silver
tipped pocket flask and then jour
neyed across the Great Divide into
that land from whose bourne no tray-
cier e'er returns"
1t has remained for a highly re-
spected citizen of the city Of Chicka-
sha to shatter this fond delusion and
to demonstrate to the world that the
good, old gentleman of the land Of
Judea did not pass forever and day
from this land OF song and story. Ii
has remained for this Chickasha man
TO prove to the world that when the
grim reaper harvested the ripe old
gentleman of Biblical renown, the
cycles Of time provided for the trans
migration Of his soul into the ambling
frame OF an Oklahoman some two
thousand years later.
If you, who chance to read this
should doubt it, all you have to do is
10 drop in on H. w Baird the under
taker, and ask him about that over
coat which he bestowed on a poor but
worthy and seemingly dishonest way
farer a few days since. It takes
true Good Samaritan to give away an
overcoat at this season of the year
No difference whether or not the gift
be an unintentional OF as was the
case in this instance. it takes man
with heart to make 1t a go.
Baird pleads guilty to the fact that
he had no premeditated intention OF
giving the overcoat to the stranger.
1ut acknowledges that gift was made
and that the one who benefited by the
same acquired the overcoat at the
psychological moment when the don
or's back was presented to view.
Baird has now acquired another ana
a newer oVercoat and he is looking
for the festive stranger who may he
at this moment wearing the older
overcoat. He is not, however, loclsing
for him with any intention of emulat-
ing the example of the other Biblical
character who when the stranger
swiped his coat gave unto him his
cloak also. He is looking for him with
the full intention Of continuing his
role of Good Samaritan and will,
should he find the man with the
ccat,n turn him over to the hospital
tiles OF the county, so that he will be
provided with board and lodging in a
nice warm Jail during the months YET
to come before the Johnnies jump up
and the butter cups shoulder the lilies
OF the valley aside.
