fighters who subdued the hostile red
skins of the West is Lieut. Gen. Nelson
Appleton Miles. Born in Westminster,
Mass, August s. 1889. he began his
military career at the outbreak of the
Civil war, starting as a first lieutenant
and winning his way by sheer merit
and fighting ability to the rank of ma

century ago he entered the regular
army as a colonel, becoming briga-
der general In $780, a major general in
1890, and a lieutenant general In 1900,
three years before his retirement from
active service. General Miles took
part in the campaign against nearly
all of the more formidable Indian war
chiefs, including Sitting Bull, Crazy
Horse, Geronimo, Chief Joseph and
Natchez. He represented the United
States army abroad during the Turco-

Where No Taxes Are Paid.

Happy and free from the worries of
war taxation are the people of Lundy
island, that little speck off Devon in
the English channel, the tsking' of
which, Rev. Hudson Hetven, died a
short time ago. The reverend gentle
man administered the affairs of the
island from 1887 to 1904, as his father,
who bought the island in 1884 for about
$4,000, did before him. The inhabitants
of Lundy number about forty and lead
an uneventful life. They pay no
taxes, are attached to no parish or
union and have no poor. The island
has a romantic and lawless history
and was once considered an excellent
harbor and refuge for murderers.
Bardsley island, situated in the Irish
sea, off the county of Carnarvon, is
another spot where the tax collector is
unknown. There are about sixty peo-
pie on the island, who elect their own
king. The inhabitants are mostly en-
gagged in farming and fishing. The
island got its name from the tradi-
ton that it was the last retreat of the
Welsh bards. In ancient times it had
a reputation for sanctity and to be
buried on its soil was an honor much
to be desired. 1t is believed that more
than $4,000 saints gained this

BENEFITING BY WAR
HOW LEADING RUSSIAN WOMAN
VIEWS CONFLICT.
For One Thing, She Says, "lt Has
Taught Us to See World Larger
Than the World OF the Fam
lily Doorstep"

"You will learn in America that this
great war will have its benefits" the
doctor said. 1T is teaching us that
we are strong; 1t has issued call
commanding us to organize and act
not only In war, but In peace; It has
taught us to see world larger than
the world OF the family doorstep. 1t
has shown us that we can do all the
necessary old duties and have energy
and desire to accept new labors. This
morning at breakfast my children
spoke Of Russian victory. I said TO
them that the great Russian victories
were In the new thought and visions
of the people"
The doctor did not speak OF any
class or sex; she made no distinction
between different kinds of Russian
hearts and Russian heads There are
almost twice as many men, women
and children in the empire as In our
states, and the doctor seemed to in
cIude them all. The doctor was near
ing middle age, but was still pretty,
even In severe wooden suit.
The reason for her disregard Of sex
is not difficult to define. Russia Is the
foremost undeveloped country In the
world. Like its own fiat, gray expanse
of physical surface, beneath which un-
touched treasures of resource lie, a
crust of mystery covers the human
resource, of the Russian millions The
charm of Russia Is not in its romantic,
hazardous, youthful past, but in the
suppressed seething of human force
beneath the crust. What viii burst
up through it? What will this war,
cracking open the surface, rending the
cover, let loose?
When I went to Russia to put my
ear where / could hear beneath, the
crust the new bubble and heaving of
potentiality, writes Richard Washburn
Child in the Century, the volcanic
seething which the war has filled with
new tremors, did not think of the
Russian woman at all.
Tt is the women, think, who today
possess a vision calmer than that of
the Russian men. From q woman !
received the coolest and the wisest
analysis Of the politics of the empire
and the most sensible forecast Of the
struggle between the people and the
bureaucracy. Through a woman I OBJ
tanned the greatest fund of informa-
ton about the future commercial de-
velOpment of the. land and about the
opportunities for American business.
A woman drew for me the clearest
picture of what was needed to organize
for military victories. It was the WON
an of Russia who, without distortion
Of self-interest, of prejudice or fear,
could see what the new human growth
required of compromise with the pres
ent form of the government and what
of fight to a finish. And that is the
most delicate question which Russia
must determine in the decade which
follows the final peace.

OLD ITALIAN TOWN
VIcENZA OF IMPORTANCE IN
TIME OF THE ROMANS.
Its Achievements in Arms Rank Sec
ond to Its Architectural Splendors
Once Capital of Lom-
bard Duchy.

Closely massed on both banks of
the small Bacchiglione river, Yicenza,
with an urban population of $4,000,
has been an important town of north
ern Italy since the early Roman days,
when 1t was known as Vicetia. 1t has
not played a thrilling role in Italian
history, however, but is noted rather
for its architectural splendor than for
its achievements in arms.
The surrounding plain, whose lux
uriant mulberry trees, with their
supplanted by the cypress fronds of
sorrow over countless soldiers graves,
extend to the north through Theme
and Schio, two manufacturing towns
in the Leogra valley, and to the east
as far as Venice, 40 miles distant.
Sixteen miles to the west, beyond the
Berici mountains, lies Verona, with
its many Shakespearean associations.
Beautiful" villas and poisoning fields
are a feature of this landscape now
overcast with the shadow Of invading
Austrians.
Vicenza's share in the history-mak-
ing of the early middle ages was as a
capital of a Lombard duchy. Tt was
one of the cities which formed the
Lombard league In the twelfth CEN

during the several campaigns whereby
he attempted to re-etablish the West

UNDERWATER TOOK THE BAIT
ouaker's Shrewd, If Somewhat in
scrupuIous Trick, Had the Success
He Anticipated.


Some months ago the Companion
told a little tale of old privateering
days, in which a thinking en-
ployee who discovered a long-overdue
privateer coming into port with prize,
by some very hard riding overlook the
owner of the ship on his way to the
underwriters and saved him from the
useless payment of heavy premium.
An English Quaker was reminded of an
anecdote of the same period, based on
the same situation, which occurred
among his own people.
Two Quakers, merchant and an
underwater meeting at an inn, began
talk business over their meal. The
merchant presently proposed to his
friend to insure his vessel, lost or not
lost, which ought soon TO arrive; in
fact, it was already slightly overdue.
The premium would necessarily be
high, but the times were perilous and
the Yankee privateers had recently
taken many prizes upon the route the
vessel must cover. The underwater
hesitated. The policy was made out,
but his mind was not made up. Final
ly he put the paper into his pocket,
saying:
81 viii sleep on the matter, friend
Joseph, and tomorrow will return it
to thee. signed or unsigned"
They parted and went to their
homes. Before dawn an urgent mes
senger clattered at the merchants
door. He was a bringer of bad tidings.
The vessel was lost. 1t was, unless II
was insured, a heavy misfortune. II
only that policy had been signed the
day before! He had little belief that
his hesitating friend would have de-
cided to take the risk; he was eau.
tious and keen person, with a repu-
tation for sharp practice. But Joseph
saw in that fact his opportunity. Sum
monfng a messenger, to whom he said
no word of his loss, he dispatched him
with a message, instructing him care
fully exactly what words to use. He
was to say:
Friend Joshua, neighbor Joseph de-
sires me TO inform thee that, if thee
hast not underwritten, thee needst not
do it,
The message was delivered promptly
and precisely. Friend Joshua, who had
not signed, and had decided against
doing so, understood it to mean that
the ship had arrived safely, and the
owner did not wish to pay the pre-
MUM, now useless, unless the signed
document required him in honor and
law to do so. That is what the canny
Joseph expected him to think and he
proceeded to act as Joseph had
guessed he might act. He pretended
not to find the policy where he looked
for it in his Office, slipped it stealthily
among a handful of other papers
which he carried carelessIy with him
into the next room, where he went os-
tensibly to seek further, and there sly
ly signed it. Presently he brought ii
back and delivered it to the messenger
with the message:
"Ten thy master I had signed"
1t was not pretty bit of business
friend Joseph's trick was a little toe
clever-but certainly no one can sym
pathize with friend Joshua. 1t was q
case of the bitter bit.-Youth's Com.
