Tho text of the czar's decree which
has aroused so much interest Is aa
follows:
On ascending the throne of our an
cestors by tho providence of God wo
made a solemn vow boforo the Al
mighty and our conscience sacredly to
guard tho centuries old pillars of Rus
sian power and to dedicate our lifo to
tho service of our boloved fatherland
in indefatigable solicitude for our
subjects. We chose, in order to as
sure tho well-being of our people, the
way Indicated by the memorable deeds
of our predecessors, especially our
never-to-be-forgotten father. God
pleased to interrupt tho deeds of our
father by his early death and thus
laid on us tho sacred duty of com
pleting the consolidation of owLrmity
truth begun by him- 'national life,
with the exurting our country,
Thp 'l- our deep regret have partly
'oeen sown by designs hostile to the
state and partly engendered by doc
trines foreign to Russian life, hinder
tho general work of ameliorating tho
well-being of the people. These trou
bles confuse the public mind, remove
the people from productive labor and
often ruin families dear to our heart
and young energies among high and
low necessary to the internal devel
opment of the country.
In demanding the fulfillment of this
our will, while remaining strongly
opposed to any violation of tho nor
mal course of national life and hav
ing confidence that all will loyally dis
charge their local duties, we lire ir
revocably decided to satisfy tho needs
for which the state has become ripe
and have deemed it expedient to
strengthen and. decree the undevi&t
ing observance of "the principles of
tolerance laid down by tho fundamen
tal laws of the Russian empire, and,
while recognizing the orthodox church
as the ruling one, to grant to all of
our subjects of other religions and to
all foreign persuasions freedom of
creed and worship in accordance with
their rites, and we are further re
solved to continue the active carry
ing out of measures for the improve
ment of the material position pf tho.
orthodox rural clergy while enabling
them to take a larger share in intel
lectual and public life.
In accordance with impending meas
ures for the. consolidation of the na
tional economy the efforts of the state
credit institutions and especially thai
nobles' and peasants' banks should
be. directed to strengthening and de
Y Roping the welfare and fundamental
pillars of Russian village life and
that of the local nobility afyd peasant
ry. Tbeso principles marked, out by
us for the revision of the laws of the
rural population are, when formulated,
to be referred to the provincial goy
erment co'unpilg, sp that with the
assistance, of persons enjoying th
public's confidence they may. be fur
ther developed and adapted to the
special conditions of individual local
ities. In this work the fundamental
principle of the inviolability of coiut
munal property is to be maintained,
while at the same time means are to
be found to render it easier for th
individual to sever connections witl
the community to which he belongs if
ho so desires.
Without delay measures must be
taken to release the peasants from
the present burdensome liability of
forced labor.
Thorough reform is to be effected in
the provincial government and dis
trict administration by the local repg'
resentatives, while attention will be
devoted to, securing closer co-operation
between the communal authori
ties and parochial trustees of the
ortbqdpx, churches wherever ppwihle. ,
' Calling upon all our subjects to co-
BUYING A
CREAM SEPARATOR.
To make no mistake in this is of the utmost importance.
You don't buy one very often and it is not only a question
of first cost but of daily profit or loss, daily operation "
daily wear and tear. .........pie. In reality
The right choice is reb themselves-head
the De Laval machines itating. machinea.
and shoulderg atents make and keep them googether
..uiar greater experience and superior facilities in every
way for cream separator manufacture.
Every big and experienced user of separators knows
this and uses De Laval machines exclusively both in
factory and farm sizes.
But you may be without separator knowl
edge or experience. Therefore take steps to see and
try a De Ival machine for yourself. It will cost you
nothing to do so. That is part of the local agent's business.
JEi you don't know him write for his name and address.
Try imitating machines too if you will and can get
them, but don't put your name to an order of any kind
until you know the facts about the De Laval machines
and have tried one. That means your buying one.

The Littls Teacher.
Tho February Bulletin of theNew
York Public Library contains an ar
ticle, "What Do Teachers Read?" by
Mary Denson Pretlow. It closes with
the following anecdote:
And last comes the littlest teacher
pf them all. By standing up very
straight he could look across the top
of; my desk, and his eyes met mine
unwaveringly as I accused him of hav
ing kept Baldwin's "Fifty Famous
Stories;' from August till December.
Ho explained that at the end of ev
ery two weeks he left it in for a few
days and I considered the matter set
tled. Five minutes later I looked up
to find him still there. "Little boy,
what do you want?" "Please, ma'am,
that book?"
This was too much. "You've had It
three months; why don't you take
some other?"
"Because that's the only one she
likes. I've tried another; she won't
even look at it."
"She, who is she?"
"The one I teaph."
I thought he was getting mixed.
"The book you learn from, little boy?"
"No, ma'am, the girl I teach."
"How old is she?"
He eyed me critically. "'Bout as h
as. you are."
I began to feel small. Then he told
meall about it She was the daughter
of the- Italiaa shoe- mender, the one
down the step at the corner of "Tent'
;vnoo;" her father wasn't .very kind-
to her; she know no English and had
no friends; ho taught her in tho
evonlngs. I asked if he was not sleepy then.
"Well, sometimes I go to sleep over
the book, but she's learnjn', and when
she learns she.'ll like this better'n
Italy."
There came to my mind: "Teach
these foreign children our language,
our laws, our liberty, and we will
have good citizens."
But for the sake of good citizen
ship, would you, O. Learned Educator,
do what this little child of the slum
, is doing? Now York Evening Post.
The People's Prayer.
God give us men! A time like this
demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith
and ready hands;
Men whom the lust of office does not
kill;
Men whom the spoils of office cannot
buy;
Men who possess opinions and a will;1
Men who have honor; men who will
not lie;
Men who can stand before a demar
gogue
And damn his treacherous flattering
without winking;
Tall men, sun crowned, who lit
above the fog
In public duty and in private think
ing. For while th rabble with their
thumb-worn creeds,
Their large profession and their lit
tle deeds.
Mingle in selfish strife, lot Freedom
weeps,
Wrong rules the land, and waiting
Justice sleeps.
