Heated Argument.

1t was the girls busy day and
everything seemed topsy-turvy, moth
ing was on time. and she was rush
ing around the Office at rate that
she thought could not be rivaled: but
Sambo, the Office boy, came in with
the speed of cyclone and she felt
outdone. Now, Sambo's movements at
all times are leisurely and deliberate.
and no amount of threats or coaxing
could get Sambo to exert himself be-
yond the speed of a slow movement
camera subject. Therefore this unusual
display Of locomotion from Sambo
was most surprising. The girl stopped to
get an explanation. Sambo rolled his
eyes, took deep breath and eluci-

SYMBOL OF RUSSIAN TRAGEDY
The Bouroeoics, Popular Invention.
Shows to What Depths the People
Have Been Reduced.

A bourgeoica is a small sheet iron
stove, writes Eleanor Franklin Egan in
the Saturday Evening Post. Or It may
be only 5-gallon gasoline can with
a little door at one end and hole in
the top to let out the smoke. II is an
institution in soviet Russia and Is an
invention OF the kind of which neces~
sity is the mother.
In the communistic habitations Of
the ruined and homeless bourgeoisie 1t
takes the place of both heating ar
rangements and the kitchen range.
Nearly everybody makes his own bour-
geoica out of whatever materials he
may be able to come by. and in social
circles 1t provides topic OF conversa-
ton of never-ending interest. Their
habits and the various methods en-
ployed to regulate them are matters of
primary Importance.
Its name, bestowed upon II in iron
ical derision, denotes its relationship
to the general scheme of things. Ii
burns nothing but tiny bits of wood
and is therefore very economical, but
when it is first set going 1t smokes
considerably, with the result that prac-
tically every bourgeois home In Russia
such as 1t is-smells as though its
fiues were badly out of order.
1t is capable Of bringing the average
winter temperature In a fair-sized
room up to zero. or maybe to 10 de-
grees above. and this Is as much COM
fort as the bourgeoisie are expected to
require. This sounds like an exag-
but 1t is not. 1t would be Inn
possible to exaggerate any phase Of
the tragedy that has befallen Russia.

WENDs OF sLAv0HIc ORIGIN
Variety Of Tribes Mingled to Form
What Was at One Time
Powerful People.

The Wends are a section OF the
Slavonic race, dwelling In that part
of Germany known as Lusatia, partly
in Prussia and partly In the former
kingdom Of Saxony. In the Sixth CEN
fury the Wends were a powerful peo-
pie, extending along the Baltic from
the Elbe to the Vistula and south to
the frontiers of Bohemia They com
prised a variety of tribes. To the
Wends at the outbreak of the war
Prussia was merely a military express
sion They have always remained
closely united among Themselves
preserving the old customs and con-
sidering the minglipg of races by mar
riage as opposed to the laws Of
origin. The distinctions of caste
among them are very marked and
scrupulously respected. They call
themselves Serbs. and are known In
history as Polabs. Their language, Of
which there are two most marked
dialects Is Saxon and Prussian. with
sections that speak mixed form OF
both languages, which Is described as
being between Polish and Czech (Bo-
hemian) and was reduced to a writ
ten language in the Sixteenth CEN
fury. The people of Wendish speech
numbered $4,000 In the SOS, were
reduced to 116.SO0 in 1900 and are
considerably less today.

Rug Factories In 1ekInq.

There are sixty rug factories In Pc
king, China. employing over 200 work
men each and with capitals ranging
about $4,000. This is a remarkable
increase on the figures recorded few
years ago, and is explained by the in
creasing popularity of Picking rugs in
the United States. Direct buying is
now done by many large American
firms. In addition to this number,
there are numerous small establish
ments-estinated at over hundred
which each employ a few score work
men and operate with a small capt.

MURDER CASE PROBE BY
GRAND JURY TOMORROW

NEW BRUNSWICK, June 15:-
Chief among the cases that are be-
lieved to be listed for the considera-
ton of the grand jury at its session
tomorrow Is the Pauk murder case,
in connection with which Steve
Gusak is held in the county Jail. In
view of the efforts that have been
made by Attorney John +. Kirk
patrick to secure the release of his
prisoner it is extremely likely that
the case will be given to the grand
jury so that in the event of an in
dictment against Gusak further ef-
forts to release him will be fore
stalled.
About twenty cases are under
stood to be on the list and the orig
inal plans called for a busy all day
session, but the death of Surrogate
Clayton has caused arrangements 10
be so altered as to close the session
at 1880 o'clock tomorrow afternoon
to give intimate friends of the de-
ceased an opportunity to attend the
funeral at Cranbury.
