Tobolsk, a Trade Center.

At one time TObolsk was the capital
Of western Siberia, and an important
station for the detention of political
prisoners. 1t is fortunately situated.
near the junction Of two important riv-
ers, one Of them the Tobol from which
it takes its name. Not far away lie
the ruins of an even older city, which
dominated the region before the Rus
SLAMS conquered it. TObOlsk itself was
founded by the Cossacks and built
largely by the labor of political pris-
Oners and prisoners of war. 1t has a
single cathedral, inclosed within high
lowered wall, built in imitation of the
Kremlin in Moscow by Swedish pris-
oners Of war. The ambitious idea of
initiating the thousand churches Of the
Kremlin in far off Siberia never got
farther than this first cathedral. The
rest Of TobOlsk is a typical little ST.
berian city, with so-called palace and
wide grass grown streets bordered by
low wooden houses. There are few
shops and banks of more ambitious
structure, for TObolsk is the center o.
quite trade.

vt WAS a strange irony Of fate
that forced revolutionists, hard
pressed by the soldiers Of ker-
ensky, to fall back into the Krem-
lin Of Moscow, for centuries the seat
of despotism of Russia. And addition
al interest was attached to this his
toric spot by the later announcement
that here Kerensky intended to estab-
lish his government. Perhaps no city
Of the nation has figured so prominent
" in the turmoil which for centuries
has accompanied Russian politics as
has this "city within city"
It was on the cite of the Kremlin,
now the center of the city, that Mos
COW was founded by Yuri Dolgoruki,
prince of Kiev, in 1147. The historians
believe village existed on the heights
above the River Moska even before
the advent Of Prince Yuri. Within a
century, says the Kansas City Star,
the new village entered into the tur-
MOL of Slavic wars then raging. In
1898 the Kremlin, then an important
military station Of the principally Of
Vladimir, was sacked and burned by
Batou-Khan. In 1898 it was again
sacked and its inhabitants were carried
away into slavery by Khan Nagai.
Since then it repeatedly has been plum
dered and burned.
The Kremlin is almost triangular In
shape, and is surrounded by high

earthen wall, mile and half long,
which has stood for centuries. 1t is
one Of the five divisions of the city
which still retain their palisades. The
Kremlin's wall is surmounted by Is
towers and pierced by five gates.
In the Kremlin are grouped some Of
the most beautiful buildings of Russia.
Within its walls may be read the archi-
tectural history Of the nation, but per-
haps the most interesting of the sights
Of the acropolis is the tower Of Ivan
the Great, 322 feet high and crowned
by a gilt dome.
The "King Of Bells"
It contains "a bells, and at it's foot
rests the king of Bells" the Car Kol-
okOl, 60 feet In circumference at its
rim and 10 feet high, which for more
than century remained buried in the
earth where it fell as workmen at
tempted to raise 1t to the dome, until
1t was raised in 1882 to the marble ped
estal where it now stands. On Easter
eve all the great bells Of the Kremlin
toll out their message Of the resur-
rection, and before the war travellers
journeyed from all over the world to
participate in the impressive Easter
ceremony there.

In the early part Of the fourteenth
century Ivan Danilovitch Of Vladimir
took the title Of grand prince Of Mos.
cow and moved the government from
Vladimir to Moscow. From that time
until the beginning Of the eighteenth
century, when the administration was
transferred to st. Petersburg, the
Kremlin remained the seat Of gov
eminent.
Time after time, together with the
rest Of the city of Moscow, the Krem-
lin has been burned, the last instance
being in 1912, when it was occupied by
Napoleon, and the inhabitants started
conf1agrations throughout the city
which forced the Little Corporal to
commence his disastrous retreat from
Russia. Napoleon's headquarters were
in the Kremlin. and, while the flames
there were not so destructive as IN the
remainder Of the city, the fire attained
sufficient magnitude to compel the
French to evacuate.

and a serene innocence of the desire
to copy something else. But in Juarez
the streets need cleaning, the walls

1t could easily be improved, for
there are many beautiful things in
Juarez. There is a church that was
old when the Alleghenies bounded the
American colonies. There is a great
plaza that could be transformed into
noble park. But Juarez is rather proud
Of her bad reputation. She prefers to
swagger little and talk about the
bull ring, the race track and the Black
Cat saloon. There was a time when
the proceeds Of this latter institution

Most Americans have gotten their
ideas of Mexico from the city of
Juarez, which lies Just across the in
ternational bridge from Ell Paso. This
Is unfortunate and some day Mexico
will realize it, writes Niksah. When
our sister republic ,awakens to the
Importance Of making good impress
sion she will tear down most of Juarez
and build it over again.
JuareZ Is an adobe city, which is to
say that it is Of one drab gray mono
tone, relieved here and there by white
washed porches and shutters painted
pale sky-blue. In this it resembles
most other Mexican towns, but its
streets are narrowed and worse kept,
it's houses more in need of repair and
its street cleaning department more
completely nonexistent, If such a
phrase Is permissible, than In almost
any other Mexican city of its size.
And this is unfortunate, because so
many foreigners never see more Of
Mexico than Juarez.

such, is picturesque and pleasant. The

to buy two hundred and fifty thousand
yards. That's what mean by figuring"
swell, suppose do buy that many
yards |" grumbled Mr.. Bowser.
"Oh, nothing, but it will cost you
about twelve cents yard"
"You don't mean it," shouted Mr..
Bowser, as he rose up. "Why, the
patriotic mills up at Fall River ought
to give me this cambria for four cents
yard. You are way out in your
figuring"
"Those patriotic mills will charge
all they can get, as you will find," dry.
ly replied Mrs. Bowser. "How much
do you expect to pay to have those
handkerchiefs hemstitchedY
"About one cent for every ten"
IF you get them done for a cen,
apiece you will be wonderfully lucky,
for large handkerchiefs like that l
think about two cents apiece will be
nearer the mark. You take notice, Mr..
Bowser, that the handkerchiefs will
have to be cut from the cloth. Did
you expect me to take pair Of shears
and do it myself?" .....
Mr.. Bowser did not reply. He sim
ply looked uneasy.
"And the printing, Mr.. Bowser-the
printing? Have you got any estimate
on thatY
Mr.. Bowser had no estimate.
"There must be handling and truck.
ing, and how are you going to get
them to the soldiers?"
"Why, can send them to the quar-.
termaster at Washington and he will
give them out with the uniforms"
"Don't be too sure Of that, Mr..
Bowser. The government has never
provided the army or navy with
fancy kerchiefs or cough strip or
chewing gum, and probably never
will. Hadn't you better try some
other plan to show the brave soldiers
that you are their friend?"
Bowser rose up. He had terrible
look on his face. He gasped and he
gurgled, and he waved his arms.
Finally the words came:
"Mrs. Bowser, am no patriot. My
grandfathers did not fall at Bunker
Hill or Yorktown. am not an
American. I don't care hang for
the Star-Spangled Banner and the
screaming eagle, and you are to
blame for It! Yes, you are to blame !
In your cold-blooded, way you have
made me traitor to my country.
Good night, Mrs. Bowser, you may
never see me again"
With that the ex-patriot went down
the hall and clapped on his hat and
banged the front door after him, and
he did not reappear until three o'clock
in the morning. Then he got softly
into bed and began to snore as only a
patriot can. He had given up the
handkerchief question, but was still
for war on the right side. And Mrs.
Bowser was very sorry that she had
hurt his feelings.

Of the treasury repose the crowns Of
the early cars, several thrones, war
trophies and miscellaneous curiosities.
In the arsenal is great collection Of
weapons and arms taken in conflict.
The Kremlin was the second capital
Of the empire after the removal of the
government to Petrograd. Within its
walls Is the great palace completed in
1849, and here, too, are the most won
derful churches and cathedrals of the
country. Up to the reinforcement of
Nicholas the Kremlin was the eccles-
iastical center Of Russia.
The acropolis is full of memories of
Ivan the Terrible, whom Tolstoy called
the "great BEAST" and in the network
Of underground passages which under
lies it is supposed to be buried the
library Of that scholarly, but brutal,
ruler.
In 1905 the citadel was the center Of
revolutionary disturbances, and here
In February Of that year the Grand
Duke Sergius was assassinated. And
now the historic place, the nucleus Of
the city Of Moscow, and the seat Of
Russian autocracy, again figures in
Slavic turmoil.

stitched I shall take them to the
printer and have a lot Of printing
done. One side Of the handkerchief
will have the Stars and Stripes float
ing around. There will also be the
words: From Samuel Bowser to a
gallant soldier or sailor Under the
flag will be the words: Keep your
face to the foe"
''That will be NICE" smiled Mrs.
Bowser.
ION the other side Of the handker-
chiefs will be printed the Ten Com
mandments and the Lords Prayer.
The soldier will be all the Drawer and
better on reading these things over
just before going into battle. 1t will
nerve him up. After he has fought
for twenty minutes he will find the
sweat starting from his brow. The off,
Ger In command will call halt and
every soldier will pull out his hand

face. Perhaps he will also have min
ute or two in which to run over the
Commandments. He will at least

fighting. What do you think Of my

reply, "but hadn't we better figure 1t

Bowser. "What is there to figure

such as I have described. They are
thankful to me. Many Of them write
me letters expressing their thanks. I
don't see the use Of figuring"

Philippines Need Tractors.

Long-continued ravages Of rinderpes,
have greatly reduced the number of
carabao in the Philippines, writes a
correspondent. The continued expan-
sion Of agriculture in the islands,
therefore, will create good demand
for light farm tractor to be sold at
a reasonable price. Purchases Of heavy
tractors which sell at high prices will
be limited to a few Of the larger haci-
endas, but the market for light tractors
for small planters and cooperative
groups will be general. No such trac-
tor so far introduced into the islands
has been satisfactory.
