It's curious thing that with
all clothing prices so high,
there's actually less difference
than ever between the prices Of
poor clothing and fine.
The cheaper clothes general
ly have advanced more than
the finer fabrics: labor cost,
which is always a larger factor
as the quality Of raw materials
declines, bears heaviest upon
the lower grade goods in this
season of universal increase of
wages.
To the advantage which fine
clothing generally has this sea
son in value per dollar, add the
special advantages which we
enjoy in purchasing and you
understand something Of why
we're 50 proud Of the values
we offer in our clothing for
men.
Besides the best fabrics

On the day following our marriage,
which took place in tho early spring,
Afanasi and I wcnt down to the river
to hire ourselves as day laborcrs. We

Summer came. Afanasi and ! found
work with an asphalt firm. We made
floors at the prison, university and
other public buildings. We paved
some streets with asphalt. our work
with the firm lasted about two years.
Both of us started at seventy kopecks
a day. but | rose to tho position of as

ceiving a rublc and fifty kopecks a

laborer. My duties required consider

lifeless and u~neventful. Two officers,

young Madame Lazov knew nothing
of housekeeping. She observed me
at work in the grocery store, and
offered me service in her home at
seven rubles a month.

shivercd in the snow, hugging the icy
walls.
Life became an actual inferno. Day
and night I prayed to God that I fall
ill or die. But God remained deaf.
And still I felt that only sickness
could save me from tho daily pun

myself. And so | lay on the oven at
night TO heat my body, and then
went out and rolled in the snow. I
did 1t several times, but without

I met the new veal of 1905. My mar.
ried sister had invited me to partici.

would not hear, at first, of my going

After the dancing we visited some
friend of my sisters. where I met
a soldier, just returned from the front.
He was a common moujik, Of rough
appearance and vulgar speech, and at
least ten years older than myself. He
Immediately began to court me. His
name was Afanasi Botchkarev.
1t was not long afterward that I
met Botchkarev again in the house
of a married sister of his. lie invited
me to go out for a walk, and then
suddenly proposed that | marry him.
1t caught me SO Unexpectedly that I
had no time for consideration. Any

marry this boorish moujik? And l
consented thoughtlessly.

eyes would not close; my conscience
troubled me. "What if she sus-
pected that a loaf of sugar was
missing? What if she discovers that

shame came over me. The following
day I could not look straight into
Nastasia Leontievna's eyes. l felt
guilty. My face burned. At every
motion of hers my heart quivered in
anticipation of the terrible disclos-
ure. Finally she noticed that there
was something the matter with me.

This hurt even moro. The burden
of the sin I had committed weighed
heavier and heavier. 1t rapidly be-

would not be Quoted. At the end
of a couple of restless days and
sleepless nights I decided to confess.
I went into Nastasia Leontievna's
bedroom when she was asleep. Rush
ing to her bed, I fell on my knees
and broke into sobs. She awokc in
alarm.
"What's happened, child? What
is it,"
Weeping, ! proceeded to tell the
story of my theft, begging forgive
ness and promising never to steal
again. Nastasia Leontievna Gained
me and sent me back to bed, but she
could not forgive my parents. Next
morning she visited our home, re-
monstrating with my father for his
failure to return the sugar and pun
ish me. The shame and humiliation
of my parents knew no bounds.

distance away, for water. My
mother baked bread all week and
father carried it to the market, SELL

temper was steadily getting worse,
and it was not unusual for me to
find mother in the yard in tears
after fathers return in an intoXi-
Gated state.
I reached the age of fifteen and
began to grow dissatisfied with my
lot. Life was awakening within me
and quickening my Imagination.

I wanted to have enough money to
secure my parents forever from
starvation and to be able to lead for
a time, for a day even, an idle life,
without having to rise with the sun,
to scrub the floor or to wash clothes.
All! what would I not have given
to taste the sweetness, the joy, that
life held. But there seemed to be
non for me. All day long I shaved
in the little store and kitchen. I
had a spare ruble. Something
revolted within me against this
bleak, purposeless, futureless ex-

A general fight then ensued in which two French civilians were killed and five Ameri- cans were severely injured Over a hundred persons were wounded in the riot.
 The big fight really began when American military police exchanged shots with French sailors. It was then but a few minutes until there were hundreds engaged in the con- flict The Americans did not know the cause of the attack on the naval officer believing all the time that it was unwarranted, and upon learning of the officers act expressed deep regret concerning the incident.
