WRESTLING WITH RUSSIAN.
\
The Traveler Wanted a Towel and
Finally Got It.
A. II. Savage Landor, in his book of
travel, "Across Coveted Lands," relates
an amusing railway incident that
occurred in Russia while he was en
route to Persia.
"Unable to get at my towels packed
In my registered baggage and ignorant
of the Russian language," he says, "I
/ > ? o fpllmr nfissensrcr

.what was the Russian word for towel,
so that I could ask the guard for one.
'Palatiensi,' said he, and I repeated
palatiensi, palatiensi, palatiensi,' so
as to impress the word well upon my
memory. Having enjoyed a good wash
and a shampoo and dripping all over
with water, I rang for the guard, and,
sure enough, when the man came I
could not recollect the word. At last it
dawned upon me that it was 'palatinski,'
and 4palatienski' I asked of the
guard. To my surprise the guard
?miled graciously, and, putting on a
modest air, replied, 'Palatinski niet,
paruski' ('I do not speak Latin, I speak
only Russian'), and the more I repeated
falatmski,' putting the inflection
now on one syllable, then on the other,
to make him understand, the more flattered
the man seemed to be, and modestly
gave the same answer.
"This was incomprehensible to me until
my polyglot fellow passenger came
to my assistance. 'Do you know what
you are asking the guard?' he said in
convulsions of laughter. 'Yes, I am
asking for a palattaski?a towei/ -i>o,
you are not!' and he positively went
into hysterics. 'Palatinski means "Do
you speak Latin?" How can you expect
a Russian railway guard to speak
Latin? Look how incensed the poor
man is at being mistaken for a Latin
scholar! Ask- him for a palatiensi, and
he will run for a towel.'
"Tffe man did run on the magic word
being pronounced and duly returned
with a nice clean palatiensi, which,
however, was of little use to me, for. I
had by this time got dry by the natural
processes of dripping evaporation."
THE PERIPATETIC BEAR.
Summer Outing; of a Mother Grizzly
and Her Young; Ones.
There is a deal of discussion among
hunters after big game in the mountains
concerning the sort of fathers and
husbands grizzly bears make, says a
writer in Outing. The consensus of
opinion seems to be that bruin is an unfaithful,
heartless spouse and a contemptible
father. He will help Mme.
Bruin seek a cave or an opening in the
rocks or mountain side, where their
cubs may be born, and he will carry
a dainty morsel, such as a sheep, a
calf or part of a cow's carcass there
for his mate's food. However, a few
days after the cubs are born in the
family circle he will leave the home,
probably never having any further ac*
quaintance with his spouse and her
offspring. Thereafter Mme. Bruin must
make her own way and provide for her
cubs. Unlike the black bear, which is
a jolly, fun loving father that rolls and
frolics with his baby children, the male
grizzly will have nothing to do with
the cubs. Mme. Grizzly and her children
are companions for two summers,
and they hibernate rolled together in
a ball of fur for about 100 days, during
the coldest days of winter.
The mother bear and her young travel
far and wide, moving principally at
night. Kit Carson said that the wide
range of a family of healthy grizzlies
in a summer season is almost incalculable.
He had reason to know of a
mother grizzly and her two cubs that
once left their hibernating cave among
the southern spurs of the Kocky mountains
in New Mexico one spring in the

Didn't Patronize Her Father.
A young woman living in a suburban
village turned her graceful talent for
dancing to account by carrying on tbe
instruction of the young folks in the
neighborhood in that art. At the beginning
of the term her class was attended
by an aw):ward, overgrown girl
who was much in need of such culture.
She was the daughter of a local undertaker.
After two lessons she discontinued
attendance, and one of her acquaintances
asked her why she had
given up her lessons.
"Well," said she, "Miss Blank never
patronizes my father, and so I won't
patronize her school." ? Philadelphia

Use of Injunctions.
D F. Bradly, president of the Iowa
college, submits to an Iowa paper
two questions, as follower 1. If a
Judge may enjoin union labor from
ordering a strike, why may he not
upon application eDjoin capitalists
against reduction of wages, or other
acts alleged to be oppressive to laboi?
2. If it is good law for United States
courts to intervene in behalf of interstate
railroads why is it not good law
for the same courts to redress grievances
of employees engaged in interi
state commerce? The Sioux City
| Journal in reply to these questions
i
g tys that "the obvious answer in both
queries is that an injunction in one
case would be just as logical as in
the other." And 3 e? we do not recall
an instance where a federal judge
has applied the writ of injunction in
this way to corporations.

Canvas is assuming great importance

strappings, etitchings, etc.
Basket-weave cotton cheviots, madras
and mercerized cottons offer
modish suggestions for the shirtwaist

waists are made of mercerized fabrics,
such as vesting, cheviot, iinen and
canvass.
Nearly every gown, whether made
of a soft woollen or a sheer wash
fabric, is characterized by shirring.
The reign of lace continues. Soft
and flimy Teaeriffs and Mexican
laces are the novelties of the season
The new braids, which will be used
in profusion, are soft and pliable and
well suited to forming designs on the

are examples of the highest art of

that he considered it a remarkable

AN ANSWER TO INQUIRIES.
Numerous inquiries have recen'.l7 been
received at the New York and Philadelphia
offices of the "Mercantile and Financial
Times" asking lor information as to the
methods and business of the Storey Cotton
Company, whose general offices are located
in the Bourse Building, Philadelphia, as
well as to the desirability and value of an
investment made with this company. On
several occasions in the past there appeared
in these columns extended and favorable
references to this company from the pen of
oar Philadelphia correspondent, and we
have caielnlly watched the progress and
operations ol the company in order to deI
teimine whether his commendation was
justified by subsequent develpments
Justice to a worthy corporation rtqaires
that we should extend the editorial endorsement
ol tnis paper to this company at the
present time, ana to say that ic has more
than falfilled every claim originally advanced
in its behalf. It. is only simply truth and
justice to say thac ttie management of the
company is today entitled to the highest
praise and commendation for tho conscientious
and straightforward manner in which
they have carried out all of their obligations
to those who have become identified
with the enterprise as investors, and we
are fully warranted in making the assertion
that no financial or investment institution
in the country can show a cleaner, more
satisfactory or honorable record i j its liber
al treatment of investors and the public at
large than the Storey Cotton Cou.pany.
We are moch gratified, of course, that
the later development of the company's
business and its lair and equitable methods
have justified the eariy predictions of our
Philadelphia correspondent, and it iequally
a pleasure to add that the company
are today stronger and bttter able to carry
out their obligations than at any time in
the past We have the utmost confidence
in the indcment and discretion of our
? w 0
Philadelphia correspondent, who has been
the regular representative of this psper in
that citv for more that a quarter of a century
past; and as he has oeen thoroughly
conversant with the busineds of the Storey
Gotten Company lrom its incepton, as well
as its plans and methods, its financial stab
lity and tho higu character of its management,
his unqualified endorsement of the
same naturally carries great weight.
Tbe record of the Storey Cotton Company
is one that can be assailed in no particular
whatever; i?s treatment of its clients
has al^ajs been eminently fair and just,
and it has never made a promise that has
not been fulfilled to the letter. We can
only emphasize the fact that an investment
m^dewith this company possesses every
essential element of security and remuneration,
and we are confident that those who
make such an investments will place their
money in enterpri-e where every possible
safeguard is thrown around the principal
and where large earnings are assured be}ond
any reasonable doubt.
