Again a hesitating discipline, insub

merciless war against the Jews and
against all the Judophile comrades.
FATHER VOSTOKOV-It is per
feotly clear that only the one anointet'
by God can restore order and peace In
Russia. In this sense we must speak
to everybody. everywhere, not only In
the newspapers. but also in the
churches. Religion is far from dead
in the people. A general prayer for
the Gar will unite everybody both In
thought and In action. This does not
eleminate any Of the other measures
of a military character.
GENERAL SLASCHEV-The very

but how to restore the throne and
the crown. To my regret, we are
all contenting ourselves with general
phrases and hopes-putting our
faith In God or in fantastic military
expeditions. We must define our
actions, and discuss these and not
our hopes.
GENERAL KLIMovITCH - Your
excellency would be entirely right II
not for the extraordinary circum-
stances under which we are laboriHg.
We have to wage war not only
against the Jews and revolutionists,
but also against a portion Of TIE
Russian people who do not share our
convictions.

WOULD SOLVE Big PROBLEM
Successful Idea for the Employment
of a Vacuum Is the Dream of
:. - All BalIoonists.

In the opinion of a E,gench expert
in aeronautics, the future Of dirigible
balloons lies in SUCCESSFULLY solving
the employment of vacuum as d float
ing power. Fighter than air. practical
experimenting has been for years
along the line of using gases lighter
than the atmosphere. If, however, Gas
has been long known, of course) Il
light envelope incasing a partial
vacuum could be arrived at, strong
enough so that the terrific outside
pressure Of the atmosphere were re-
sisted, the balloon would then possess
an excess Of buoyancy, and the pres
ent cost Of initiative material would be
largely eliminated. At the present
moment two Italian engineers are
conducting negotiations and expert
ments with the French governmtnt'on
the basis of new inventions on the
vacuum theory. The perfection OF
tlefation, as over against imitation,
would indeed revolutionize flying: the
world awaits with interest the result
of the experiments in France.

The Artillery Fern.

:. There is a curious and wonderful

have ever seen it outside of botanists'
collections, which is called tho "artil-
lery fern" This flower behaves in a
very strange fashion when it is dipped
in water The branch OF ferA, COW
cred with its small red seed when
held up to the light after being dipped
in water, resists the action Of Che wa
ter upon it in a funny way. First one
tiny bud will explode suddenly with
a sharp crack, scattering its yellow
dust into the air. Then another bud
will burst in the same way, until the
entire branch will be covered with eN-
ploding buds. like miniature cannon.
A sharp "crack"! followed by a wee
puff of smoke! This always occurs
after the plant is watered. p.

THE stone walls of the White
4 House no more shut Lincoln in
from his fellows, from their hopes
and sorrows and pride, than did the
unhewn logs behind which he shivered
in tho cabin home OF his youth. One
night he dreamed that he was I'm "a
crowd, when some one recognized him
as the president and exclaimed in
surprise: "IIe is a very common look
ing man." Whereupon he answeredi
"Friend, the Lord prefers common
looking people. That is the reason he
makes so many of them"
Lincoln liked people, and he always
kept in touch with the mass. He did
not have to take the word of politi-
clans or newspapers about what the
country was thinking. He went to
the source.
As he finished his daily wrestle with
senator's and the big-wigs, he plunged
with zest into what he called his pub
lie opinion bath" Seated In his chair,
with one lee thrown over its arm, he
received the motley crowd that poured
in through the wide open door of his
Office. Those who approached him in
awe found themselves ut ease in the
presence of n friend, whose manner
said to every one what he said in n
speech to Il regiment: 81 happen tenn
porarily to occupy this big White
House. / am living witness that

come here as my fathers child has"
The man fairly exhaled democracy,
fraternity, equality. Frederick Doug
las said that Lincoln was the only
white man ne ever met who did not
show consciously or unconsciously that
he recognized his color.
Sympathy flowed in constant
stream from its fountain in this great
heart. A mothers tears, baby's cry,
q fathers plea, a crutch or an empty
sleeve never failed to move Lincoln
IF he has no friend III be his friend"
he said as he stopped the shooting of
4 soldier, under sentence Of n court
martial.
"My poor girl" he said to a woman
who pleaded for the life OF her soldier
brother. you have come here with no
governor or senator or member of
congress to speak in your cause; you
seem honest and truthful and you
don't wear hoops, and I'll be whipped
If don't pardon him."
Lincoln's Office was almost his prison
cell through four terrible years. The
shouts Of his two little boys ut play
always were welcome notes of joy to
their carc-weightcd father. He never
objected to their noisily bursting in
upon him, and often he Joined the
children in their boisterous games in
the White House grounds.
In the dark days when the nation
itself was at deaths door. one Of the
boys died. For weeks the grieving
father strove in vain to win spirit Of
resignation, dropping his work for n
day at a time and surrendering to his
sorrow. Doubtless the fortltude he
gained ut last in that wrestle with
himself became part of the heroic faith
which lifted him above the general
despair when the fortunes Of the
Union sank lowest.
After Willie's death, the other boy

lection. Tad was In the habit OF going

CONTROLLING THE spEEDERS

There will never be sufficient po-
lice forces to hold the speeding auto
mobilists in check. The scorchers
may behave fairly well in towns
when they see an officer, but when
they get out on the roads, their hog
nature shows itself. Speedcrs will
have to be checked by the action of
the motoring public, who shall work
to correct the excuses Of those of
their own number who show a wrong
spirit
The Automobile Legal Association
of New England prints in it's maya
zine form of complaint which mem
bers of that society are supposed to
use in reporting reckless drivers. On
receiving such complaint with the
motorists number, the society re-
monstrates with him, and urges him
to cooperate in making the roads
safe. A fellow who thus gets called
down a few times begins to think.
The motorists of Michigan should
cooperate in such ways to control
the speeding element, which makes
the roads dangerous even for careful
people Whenever a driver does a
rank thing someone should get his
number and describe the incident to
some authority that will take the
matter up with him, and persuade
him 10 use more care in the future.
People are too good-naturcd in toler-
ating the reckless acts OF daredevil
drivers.-St. Johns News.
