RUSSIANS DO NOT WORRY.

"The Russian farmer is back at

Preston, a New England shoe and
leather man who has just returned
from a trip to Vladivostok on spe-
cial ..ission for the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce. so far as
food is concerned he is not badly off,
but he is putting very little on the
market. He barters for the little he
reeds in the way of manufactured
goods, but will not accept money for
his produce. He refuses to worry
about the fluctuations in the value of

Mr.. Preston, who has spent many

this occasion in behalf of the govern

to facilitate the shipment of hides and
skins to the United States, but found
little encouragement. Farmers are
not allowed to kill calves for a period
of three years and only small guam
titles of other hides and skins are be-
ing bartered by the raisers. Old stocks
are held in interior warehouses and

Morgan. She opened it feeling sure
that it was her confession returned.
She wondered whether he would send
any word with it. But when she
was written on paper of a different
texture than her own and by a type
writer that was not hers. The head
ing was the same: why l have never
married. and under it the words:
Because 1 have never had courage
to propose She read it thru with
breathless haste, yet taking in every
word 1t was as straight from the
heart as her own confession had been,
only truly it was from a mans heart
that had been stif1ed by hard work
and at first by the necessities of pow
erty. 1t told of a desire as keen as
was Theresas for home that should
be compelling and shielding and all
satisfying. There were bits of dry
humor in it, too The man who wrote
it-Professor Morgan-had sometimes
come very near the danger line. He
had, to be sure, sometimes seen the
woman whom he thought he might be
happy with. But always there was
the feeling that the girl of today needs
an infinite deal of counting and coax
ing. He had never learned these arts
and so he never showed his heart
When Theresa was reading the pa
per in amazement for the second time
Professor Morgan came to her apart
ment- He had never been there be-
fore, nor had he known where she
lived till he received her paper.
He was as free from the prelimi-
narieS of the usual sutton as the con
fession had indicated that he would
be. He told Theresa quite frankly and
bluntly that he wanted to marry her
He did not even ask for an explana-
ton as to how he came into possess
sion of her confession. But having
had a vision of her own little half
starved heart, he felt sure that they
could make each other happy. And
of course Theresa accepted.
Theresa was very practical and with
her heart still beating very fast-for
maiden of 35 does not receive her first
proposal without a great quickening
of the pulse-she seized Doctor Nor

1T isn't too Late she said, slipping
it into blank envelope and address
ing it to the editor of the woman's
magazine. THE time has been ex-
tended a few days. 1 know this will
take the prize
And SO a few DAYS later came the
check for s50-the first prize-with
a note from the editor explaining that
the paper was especially welcome. as
1t had come from a man and showed
a mans point of view, whereas the
majority of the confessions had been
those of women.
And the two checks-s15O-wera

Fort Smith.
OF all the glamorous old trading
posts of the Honorable Hudson's Bay
| company. there. is none with more OF
the romance of the Silent Places
about i. than Fort Smith, perched
above the Rapids of the Drowned on
the Slave river. The Slave flows
here from Lake Atiiabasea to Great
Slave lake, and half way on it's jour-
ney, Just where the sixtieth parallel
of north latitfde divides the province
of Alberta from the Northwest ter
ritory, it passes Fort Smith.
The fort is set high above the
troubled waters several hundred feet
up the steep, rocky bank. A fine
spot for defense it was, in the early
days. but now that attacks are over,
il is an inconvenient location in spite
of its picturesque qualities. All day
long you can see those who are in
the Biblical phrase drawers of
water" toilins up the steep path with
yokef buckets over their shoulders
Indian wome'- and children, servants
that is drunk, and whatever may be
used for other purposes 1t is no
discredit to wash sparingly in Fort
Smith one must needs have scant
consideration for the value of human
labor to do otherwise.
All about the trading post are
scattered the tepees of the Indians,
wanderers of the great woods on their
annual trading expedition. They bring
with them the breath of the woods
country; its struggles has shaped their
tight-lipped mouths, its loneliness has
made their steady black eyes inscrut-
able; its mystery has made their
laugh. a low, quick-bitten thing, like
laugh snatched in the shadow Of
terror All these things the white
woodsman show even more strongly.
with the quicker impressionability of
finer clay. The northern woods-run-
ner is man apart, almost a separate
species of the human animal, shaped
by the relentless pressure of an ire
sistible environment.
And old Fort Smith watches it all,
growing only a little grayer, a little
more kindly and understanding with
the passing seasons. Each year is
the same-the silent snow, the ice
locked river, the breaking cold of win
ter; then the cracking of the ice, the
jam that goes out laundering in the
spring torrent, the trumpet call of
north bound geese. The land bour-
geons forth in brief summer. with
green on the southern slopes, with
days that are light from noon to noon,
with wonderful, endless evenings un-
der the trees, that the level rays of
the low sun flood with a. bath of
gold. Then the quick autumn. and
again the Snow-an endless round.
Only the men go forth and return
not; the group of woodsmen lounging
on the grass is always the same. but
always there are new faces among
them, old faces lacking forever.

The Prohibition party is reported to
have split on the proposition of unit
ing with the National party. Who
would have suspected that there was
enough of it to split? But the Pro-
hibition party always has maintained
a degree of respectabiiity and it is not
surprising that many of it's members
refuse to mix with an aggregation of
disappointed office seekers, Socialists
and Partisan leaguers, who are
strongly suspected of being l. w WIS
