(New York WORLDLY
Wherever for a hundred years men
living In tyranny have sought deliver
ance in revolt they have been inspired
by the two great revolutions that made
the Republics of the United States and
France. The Russian patriots find their
warmest sympathy, and their ideals, in
this country; their regiments sworn to
the new order are marching to the Mar
seillaise.
Marching whittier? To what purpose
in the war? To what end in self-g gov
eminent? Prediction were presumptu-
ous. but we may cite the precedents.
A hundred fields after Valmy proved
republican France was invincible. The
Russian soldiers valor is known. lie
may be less fond Of glory than Carnot's
levies. He Is no: less fond of Justice,
and his heart stirs to the call of Slav
races repressed under alien flags whom
he may best help by first helping him
SELF Berlin must fool him or fear him.
Self government may look for re-
verses. But even the restoration did
not restore the France of Louis XVI;
the citizen retained immense benefits.
For twenty black years the empire came
again, but in it's forty sixth year the
new Republic is mightier than ever.
And the Russian is not wholly IMMERSED
in affairs. His mir" is compared with
our town meeting. In his labor unions,
his district councils, the union of coun-
ellis for war work, in the duma, won by
revolution, he has learned the power of
association. Dynasties that would last
should beware Of the railroad, the
newspaper and the school, which he
has.
From a republic that never had a
counter-revolution we send our Rus
sian brothers good wishes unmixed
with self-interest for their winning
and wearing such constitutional forms
as they may decide upon. In a nation
armed the army is the nation. To say
that autocracy can stand against it is
to forget what autocracy is. Whatever
power it may have welded, once depos-
ed 1t shreds into it's elements-a few
men and feeble, unarmed, cunning
rather than wise, handicapped by re-
membered wrongs.
After the revolution, troubles and
confusion are expected. Out of it and
them much good may come. and some
good is almost Inevitable.

BED TIME TALES
Trying 1t Out
By CLARA 1NCRAM JUDsoN

Now WASN'T that a shame? Here
was that beautiful raft, floating there
just as though 1t had been made by
business; and here were Graytail and
Father Beaver just aching for a trial
sail before they should tell. folks
about the surprise; and there was
the dam. The very first minute
Father Beaver saw how the raft
floated, and how deeply the little
logs dropped into the water. he knew
It wouldn't go over the dam.
"Why In the world didn't I think
of that DAM" he asked in despair.
81 knew II was there all the time,
but I never once thought about it?"
Eyes. isn't that the way?" sighed
Graytail, with much sympathy.

things l really know. But l forget.
and trouble comes" And Graytail
fetched up a big sigh from the bot
tom Of his back paw.
That sigh comforted Father
Beaver greatly. You know how 1t 10.
You tell your troubles and somebody
signs and answers back how very
badly OF you are. and then all of
a sudden you don't feel badly OF at
all. That was just the way with
Father Beaver. AS soon as Graytail
began to sigh, he stopped signing
and began to plan. Lets get on it
anyway, Graytail," he said, land see
what It does. Maybe it. will sail
through the place where the dam is
broken"
Maybe It WILL" answered Gray
tail hopefully, though 1t doesn't
seem likely. But I'm willing to try"
So Father Beaver got aboard and
steadied the raft and helped Gray
tail to get on too. Then Father
Beaver showed OF from the shore
and away they rode.

Beaver. His eyes danced and he was

THE BEeeAR AND THE FAT DAME.

THE BEGGAR AND THE FAT DAME.
There was beggar who sat at the
gates Of the city crying, Aims! Aims!
and making piteous means. And there
were many of great riches who saw him
daily and merchants laden with silks
ana spices and fresh eggs and potatoes
going their way to the city markets to
barter, but they gave him little heed
and few aims.
Cometh a day when fat dame paus-
ed to give him her pity, to spend a mo-
ment and pay him her regards, but to
give him of coins and Of pieces of gold
not any.
And she inquired of him, saying, 10,
thou art in rags and the blight of sloth
is upon thee. Thou takest little pains
with thy personal appearance and thou
art lazy as no man was ever lazy be-
fore. Hast It ever been thus with thee
or how didst thou come to such?"
And he made answer, II once had
a city political job and I've never been
able to go back to work since!"

BUYING LUXURIES.
(Buffalo Express.)


That Americans are spending more
or less freely their easily war profits is
shown by the governments figures on
imports during the last year. There
was strong upward tendency in 1915.
but it was almost as nothing compared
with what occurred in 1916. The in
crease in the imports of art works was
from $16,496.000 to $21 ,243, 900; in furs,
from $11, ia, 900 to s17,249,O0 in ivory,
from $1,36S,0 900 to $2,6S1, 900; in prec-
ious stones, from $26,521, 900 to $751;
$780, 900; in raw silk, from S94, 75S, 900 to
$149,7S4, 600; in manufactured silk from
$25, 5000 to $4,000, 900, and in liquors
from $12,1S7, 900 to $1S,735,OOO.
All these articles are Injuries. Peo-
pie can live comfortably without any of
them. They are the first things to be
cut off when money is scarce and peo-
pie have to economize. They are not
bought until people have money which
they wish to spend. Americans have
made a vast amount of money in the
last year and their incomes are con-
tinuing to increase. The prosperity, so
far as actual dollars are concerned,
runs Through all ranks, though the high
cost of living considerably modifios
the apparent profits. But despite tho
cost of living, large profits remain, as
is amply proved by these customs fig
ures.

Beauty is not drug on the market

bands. A smooth skin is the first re-
quirement. You can acquire this in
a variety of ways, but be sure there
are no Jealous women or policemen
