I For Humanity's Sake. I
[Copyright, 1907.]
Moses Kamoff, a Jew in Kussia, Id
pursuing his studies discovered things
that other men coveted. One of them
was a dye for weavers. It was a popular
color at once. A certain weaver
saw that there was money in it, and
because he could not buy the secret
at his own price he went to the police !
and charged the Jew with talking treason.
His evidence was unsupported,
but it was enough. At twenty-three
years of age, just as he was about to
graduate with honors, Moses started
out one evening to pay a visit to a
young lady. That was the last heard
of him for six years. Then a pardoned
convict returned from Siberia to say
that be bad met him there.
Six years later, after serving in the
mines for twelve years, ,Moses Knmoff
received a pardon and returned
home. A pardon for what? He bad
been punished again for being loyal.
The czar bad no more loyal subject in
all the Russias. He had not expected
or asked for a pardon. They simply
removed his chains one day and told {
him he was to return. He reached
home old and bent and a stranger even
to his mother. He was glad, and yet
in the midst of his gladness he was
told that that was not the end. When
the Russian police have once arrested
a man he is never forgotten. They (
follow him up. He is fair game. A
relative had died and left Moses fairly
wealthy. He had not been home a ,
month when the police began to bleed
him. lie must pay for being let alone.
He wanted to live quietly and obey all
laws and praise the czar, but it would
and did cost him so much money per
week to pay his fines that it ruined
him.
In two years more he became but lit- ;
tie better than a beggar. The police
had stripped him. Then Moses found
a situation with a chemist, but held it
only a week. The man had to let him
go or be arrested himself as a sympathizer
with a suspect. The quicksilver
mines of Siberia had made a wretched
old man of him, but he shouldered a ]
peddler's pack and began a tramp. In
three days he was arrested and his
goods confiscated. Two weeks later all
who were giving him food and lodgings
and sympathy were warned and
had to drive him from their doors. He
was arrested as a street beggar and
} kept for weeks in a cell. Whenever he
got free the police were ready with an.
other complaint.
There came a winter's night whPh
Moses Kamoff huddled in a doorway,
weak with hunger and exhaustion and
knowing that he was freezing to death.
He was glad of it. After death the police
could not longer persecute him. In
their rage they might kick his frozen
body, but all feeling would have pass
ed froin It In half an hour the man
would have been dead had not the door
opened and a hand drawn him inside. I
He was given food and drink and a
comfortable bed, and he awoke next
morning to find himself still alive. He
knew at sight to what clas^his rescuer
belonged. He was an anarchist. If he
hadn't private wrongs to avenge, then
he would avenge the wrongs of the
public. The man knew Kainoff by sight
and had heard the story of his wrongs,
and he argued that the Jew would be
fierce for revenge. It was but natural
that he should have been. For two
days and nights the old man was fed
and made comfortable, and then the
other said to him:
"You will not betray me, for you
have suffered. I have also won your
gratitude. The police have hounded
you to the brink of the grave. It is
time you turned and had your revenge.
It is for me to show you how you
can secure it and run no risk."
"I am a loyal man and wish only to
obey the law." answered Kainoff.
"Yes. you have been loyal, but the
police have punished you for it. For
years I have worked on an invention
that I might make myself feared. I
have suffered almost as much as you
have, but it is over and done with now.
Tonight we will both begin our revenge."
And with that and trembling and
laughing in his excitement the anarchist
brought out a rifle. Its power
was compressed air and its bullet an
explosive one. Its discharge made no
1 rm
souuu. mere nua rieituei ?mcu uvi
smoke nor flame. Once on a housetop
with the weapon one could shoot down
a pedestrian a block away,' and no Hv
ins man could tell from whence the .
bullet came. It could be fired from any
ambush in the suburbs?from behind
wall or tree or bush. From window or
house roof the czar could be picked off
as he rode out. Officials could be shot
down one after another, and those who
lived would carry worse than death in
their hearts. Kamoff looked the weapon
over and over again. He saw that
it would do as its inventor said. It
was a terrible weapon even in the
hands of a coward. There was death
wherever it pointed?grim, swift, mysterious
death. In a day he could revenge
his years of wrongs. A smile
^ came to his face as he thought of this;
then it faded as he thought of huinanity.
It was giviug one man the
power of life and death'over hundreds,
thousands, and that man with the
lust to kill In his heart It was wholesale
murder. It was Inhumanity. It
was tragedy Inconceivable.
When he had looked at the gun a
long time Kamoff rose up and, putting
all his strength Into the blow, brought
the barrel down upon a heavy wooden
chair, and the labor of years was gone
In a moment Then he threw down the
pieces and stood, with folded arms and
bowed head, and did not even cry out
at the stab that reached his heart. He
had died for humanity's sake.
M. QUAD.
Circumstantial Evidence.
During a discussion in regard to circumstantial
evidence a lawyer told of
a remarkable case which, he said, appears
In the Virginia reports. It was
this:
A man was discovered drawing a
knife from the prostrate form of another
man near a roadside. The witnesses
rushed upon him and took the
weapon from him. It was still dripping
with the warm blood of the victim.
He was accused of the murder,
but asserted his innocence. He claimed
that he had happened along the
road but a few moments before and
saw ai9 auegeu vil-uuj guu^uug n?u
another man. Before he could come up
the unknown bad driven his knife
home and had fled into some brush
close by. Seeing the knife still lh the
breast of the fallen man, he stooped
over and drew It forth Just as his accusers
came on the .scene. That was
his story. The knife being identified as
the property of the accused, no credence
whatever was placed in his tale.
He was tried, convicted and hanged.
A year later the man who had really
committed the crime while on his
deathbed confessed that he was the
murderer and told how he had stolen
the knife from the innocent man who
had been sent to the gallows.

Candidates Too Well Known. ]
It was Just after the opening of the j
polls for the election of mayor In a
New Jersey town that two Irishmen j
met and began discussing the chances
of two candidates for aldermen. ]
"It will be a close race between Mc- j
Glory and Adolph Mink," said the first i
Irishman, to which the other rejoined: 1
"How is It. Clancy, that In so many '
votes It should be nip and tuck between
McGlory and the Dutchman 1
Mink?" ,
"Well. I'll tell ye," responded the ,
first Irishman. "Ifs like this. They're <
both of 'em very onpopular mln, Mc- <
Glory and Mink. If ye knew wan, ye'd ]
be certain to vote for the other, and 1
both of them are blamed well known!" 1
