L.t.. A Inn a Txi
Gmnd Duke Cyriinindimir-1
ovitch, head of tho Romnnoft ;
t'Cn'l.v, and, luckily for him, j
outside of Russia, thinks .lie
wm bo czar, lie is mistaken,
but his statement that he would
keep the present, bolshevik sys
tem, of government, extendin'r
' it to a "log-ieal, constructive
p'hOc," is enlightening.
. '- ' '
Relations of the czar appar
ently have discovered that bol
shevrsm, giving laud instead of
blows to the peasants, and cdu
i cation instead) of ignorance to
the masses of Russia, interests
Russians.
Just now Russia is morn in
terested in the question0 "What
happened to Trotzky thiSi in
any visionary grand duke's
plansP Whether Trotzky has
been "suppressed" or what has
happened to him nobody knows.
It is dangerous for a det'osed
revolutionary leader to dis
agree with those in power. 0 '
"Honest Hen," a mule, hav
ing worked nianv years f?r the
city? of Atlanta, now old and
feeble, was to Gc slaughtered
and fed to lions in the zoo.
Atlanta'sekiml hearted may
or, Ragsdalc, willdmy tho mule
and pension him.
- ' A .'kinds thought:. ; Many nU
old man that 'lannt be fed to
the lions beciiusc tender heart
ed laws forbid it, while they
don't forbid old men and wom
in to worry themselves to
Heath, might ajnost wish (ley
verc -deserving mnles
"Do pustibus nnn est .dispn-1
tnnlum,' tvliieli mean! "There
is no use fiiarreling voth an-1
oilier mini's taste." j
A young Cliit'Hponn, formerly !
f) repoiO'i' at $18 a week, sutl
Aenly heir to a fortune of jfl.-j
CIIX1 n Any, iSis 'decided how ;o
Spend liis money? O
' flic will go to Borneo, hui.l
, in g for a "perfect specimen of
the. reticulated python," bifiRest
reptile known to nian. ITo
takes n seientifie expedition
with him and his time will not
lie wasted. '
Hut how many.. things could
other young men think of it.
they had $1000 n day, leaving
the reticulated python to his
own devices?
Another week opening finds
Wall' .Street, refusing to be
scared to death. SpeculQU's
are like "Old Dog Trey, ev.O
faithful." Grief cannot drive
tnem nway.
. Jack up the interest rate,
nnd still they say, "I think
stoeks arc going to be worth
more, anil so I nin going to buy
lieni." The prices lifted ik
their little heads as soon as the
market opened, and kept them
up. '
Oile comforting fact for gen
tlemen that sPee'iiiate in stocks,
a'nd paying 10, V2 and more
per cent for money. " Federal
Jteserve -Jiank in 1!W8 made a
net profit of fi4,0.")3,(KiO, or
1,000,000 more than in 1027.
It jjeiTus only reasonable that,
the Federal Koserve l?ank, ef
ficient in putting up int-crest
rates, shntlld get ji good share
of the profits.
