RASPUTIN Devil or Sai t? By the Princess Radziwill (Copyright. 1917, Public Ledger Company. All Rights Reserved.; The whole Rasputin affair was noth ing but a German intrigue which aimed at discrediting the dynasty and perhaps even at overthrowing the sovereign from his throne. Thanks to tiie infernal cunning of the people who were its leaders, the impe rial circle and even some of the impe rial family were represented as being entirely under the “prophet’s” influ ence. And thanks to the solitary exist ence. which the emperor and empress were leading, and to the small num ber of people who were allowed to see them, these rumors gained ground, for the simple reason that there existed no one capable of contradicting them or of pointing out their absurdity. Calum nies as stupid as they were degrading to the authors of them were set in cir culation, and the revolutionary move ment which Germany had been foment ing grew stronger and stronger every day, until it reached the lower classes. These classes by a kind of miracle were also kept very well informed as to every thing that was connected with Rasputin or with the subterranean work perform ed by his party, a work which tended to only make the house of Romanoff un popular, and to represent it as incapable of taking to heart the interests of the country over which it reigned. The Character of Raeputin’s Associates If we consider who were the people at the side of the “prophet," and who in spired all his actions as well as his ut terances, we find police agents, adven turers who had been sometimes in pris on and sometimes in exile; functionaries eager to obtain some fat sinecure in which they might do nothing and earn a great deal; stock exchange speculators of doubtful morality and still more doubtful honesty; women of low char acter and army purveyors, mixed up with an innumerable number of spies Most of these last were in the German service and were working for all that they were worth to bring about some palace conspiracy or some popular move ment capable of removing from his throne the tzar whose honesty and straightforwardness of character pre cluded the possibility of Russia betray ing the trust which her allies had put Ln her. Yet this was precisely what these peo ple wanted, and what they had made up their minds to force through, thanks to the indignation which the various stories which were being repeated every day concerning Rasputin and the favor which he enjoyed was arousing all over Russia. The emperor, of course, knew nothing of all this; the empress even less. There was no one to tell them the truth, and they would have been more surprised than any one else had they suspected the ocean of lies which had been told concerning themselves, and concerning the kindness with which they had treated a man whom they considered as being half saint and half mad, but of whom they had never thought in their wildest dreams of making their chief advisor. In this extraordinary history there is atop axether point which must be no ttax*. When the first deceptions pro duced by the disaster of the beginning of the campaign had thrown public opin ion into a state of mind which was bor dering well nigh upon despair, and be fore it had had time to recover from the shock of the tali of Warsaw and the line of fortresses upon which they had relied to protect the western frontier, people had begun to seek for the cause of the great disillusionment they had been called upon to experience. One had very quickly discovered, partly through the revelations that had been made in the duma, that the real reason for all the sad things which had hap pened lay in the systematic plundering of the public exchequer, that had been going on for such a long time and which even the experiences of the Japanese war had not cured. When tne fierce battle against Germany began in grim earnest the first thought of the emperor had been to try to put an end to these dep redations that had compromised the prestige and the good name of Russia abroad as well as at home. Great se verity was shown to the many adventur ers who had encircled themselves at he expense of the nation. When it haw •erne to the fabrication of the neces ary ammunition required by the army, then the help of Russia's allies —England md France —had been sought. Thanas to the efforts of these two powers, some thing like order was re-established in the vast machine of the war office. The fabrication of shells of a size that could not fit any gun was stopped. The army at the front got clothes ajtd food of which it had been in want at he beginning of the campaign. Am munition was dispatched where it was required, and not in the contrary di rection, as often had been the case be (fore. The allies helped Russia to the best of their ability, and Russia, at least the sane and honest part of Rus sian society, felt grateful to them for their co-operation in the work of their common defense against a foe which It had become necessary to defeat so thoroughly that civilization could no longer be endangered by its existence and activity.

SminUMIM lEMEn CL. uasxs cm. Ml But the people who surrounded Ras putin and wtih whom he was working were not grateful for the labor of love which Great Britain and France had as sumed. They began to complain of the so-called itnerf ere rice of foreign elements w<th the details of the Russian administration. Some went even so far as to say that Russia w-as becoming an English colony. All the plunderers? all the thieves who had had their own way for so many months, perceiving that they would no longer have the opportunities which they had enjoyed before to add to their ill-gotten gains, tried by all means in their pow er to discredit the sovereign whose firm ness they had found in their way. They joined all the pro-Germans of whom, alas! there existed but too many in the country, in an effort to bring about a peace, the shame of which would have been quite indifferent to them. The Smoldering Opposition to Rasputin It is not at all wonderful if those shameless adventurers started the con spiracy for the success of which they required the moral influence of Raspu tin and the authority of his person. It was, after all, such an easy matter to say that in such and such a case he had been acting in conformity with the im perial will. No one could disprove the truth of the assertion, and in that way the emperor was made responsible for all the unavowable things which were going on. He was supposed to have given his sanction to all these things simply because It had pleased, not even Rasputin himself, but individuals like Mr. Manussewitsch-Maniuloff, to declare that they had been done with his knowl edge and approval. Can one feel surprised if in the pres ence of this artificial atmosphere, and still more artificial position, an intense feeling of disgust took hold of real pa triots, and made them contemplate se riously the possibility of trying at least to unmask Rasputin and his crew and bring to the ears of the tzar all the different rumors which w r ere in circula tion concerning the "prophet” and what was going on around him? Men of ex perience and of weight seriously thought how this could be done. They made no secret of ’he fact, unfortunately for themselvep as well as for the success of their plans. What was going on very soon came to the knowledge of Manus sewitsch-Maniuloff and made him more frantic •tthan he had ever been to over throw what he called "foreign influ ences” in Russia. He applied himself with renewed energy to bring about, by fair means or foul, the conclusion of a peace on which depended his whole fu ture destiny. And he might perhaps have succeeded if circumstances had no; turned against him and put an end to his machinations, at least for a tlme- Mr. Sturmer was but a tool in the hands of this artful, clever private sec retary whom he had been persuaded, or rather compelled, to take. Manuesse wicsch-Maniuloff had managed to get hold of him and to keep him securely bound to his own policy. He had bee.i the man who had contrived to put him into th position of authority which he enjoyed, and Mr. Sturmer. whatever may have been his other defects, had a grate ful nature. Besides, Maniuloff amused him, and took an immense amount of trouble off his hands. He could rely on his never doing anything stupid, even when he did something very dishonest. Mr. Sturmer was absorbed in great po litical combinations and was looking to ward a long term of office. He felt ab solutely safe in the situation which he occupied, where at any moment he liked he could speak with the czar and ex plain to him what he thought to be most advantageous to the interests of his party, or the eVents of the day as they followed in quick succession. Alas for this security! An unexpect ed incident was to destroy it in the most ruthless manner. Rasputin, to gether with Mr. Maniuloff, went too fat in the system of blackmailing which they had been practicing with such skill for so manv long months. For once they found their master in the person of one of the directors of a large bank ing establishment in Petrograd, who. upon being threatened with all kinds of unpleasantness unless he consented to pay a large sum of money, did not protest as others had done before him in similar cases, but gave it immediate ly,. first having taken the numbers of the banknotes which he had handed over to Mr. Maniuloff. He went with these numbers to the military authorities and lodged with them a formal complaint against the blackmailers. The result was as Immediate as it was unexpected. The general staff had been waiting a Ityig time for just such an opportunity to proceed against Rasputin and the members of his crew. That very same night, in obedience to orders received from the military commander of Petro grad, Mr. Manussewitsch-Maniuloff’s house was searched from top to bottom, and he himself conveyed to prison, with out even having been allowed to ac quaint his chief, Mr. Sturmer. with what had happened to him. chapter vm THE arrest of the prime minister’s private secretary produced, as one may well imagine, an im mense sensation in Petrograd and in tense consternation among the friends of Rasputin' They were thus deprived of the one strong ally capable of guid ing their steps in the best direction pos sible ’under the circumstances, and moreover, of the one who was possessed of ’information which no one else could possibly get at. Mr. Sturmer himself was more than dismayed at this step by the military authorities without con sulting him and resented it as a per sonal affront. He tried to interfere in the matter and went so far as to demand as his right the liberation of Manusse witsch-Maniuloff. But his intervention, Instead of helping the person in whose favor it had been displayed, gave on lhe contrary the signal for a series of at tacks against Mr. Sturmer himself, at tacks of which the most important was the spech made by Mr. Miliukoff in the duma. where he publicly accused the prime minister of being in league With Germany and of working in favor of a separate peace with that country. Immediate Effect of the Coup Os course, the remarks of the leader of the opposition in the chamber were not alldwed to be (published, but so many persons had heard them and so many others had heard of them that the contents of the address of Mr. Miliukoff very soon became public property. No one had ever cared for Mr. Sturmer, whose leanings had always been for au tocracy. While governor of Twer he had distinguished himself by the zeal which he displayed in putting down ev ery manifestation of public opinion tn his government. In addition he had been connected with various matters where bribery played a prominent part, a fact which had not helped him to win any popularity in the province which he had administered. His only merits lay in his ability to speak excellent French and in his having very pronounced English sympathies. These sympathies, however, by some kind of unexplainable miracle, died out immediately after his assumption of office. He at once fell under, the influence of a certain party that clamored for the removal of for ’igners from the administrative and nolitical life of Russia. He was not clever, though he had a very high idea of his own intelligence and knowledge.. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON JAN. 20 Mark skips over nearly a year of Jesus’ life after His baptism and brings us with him, one Sabath day, into the Synagogue, where he taught. The char acter of His teaching astonished the people because it was so different from that to which they were accustomed. : The Scribes had been telling them what other men iiad said. Jesus did not re fer to other men. except to present in ; contrast His own interpretation. Mat thew has recorded for us, in the oth, 6th and 7th chapters, something of the character of His teaching at this time, which is summarized in this. “Ye have heard—but 1 say unto you." His teach ing differed also from others in that He got at the very depth of the truth He gave and in the real meaning of the truth which He was presenting. He got the essence out of it and presented it to them in away which brought ev eryone ot them under condemnation. The Demoniac Sealed Whether this man was aJready in the congregation or come in at this time, we do not know; but while they were reasoning amongst themselves and ex pessing their astonishment at His teach ings, a man possessed with the spirit of evil cried out, “What have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? Art thous come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of Is rael Some have thought that this man was just sick, probably an epilep tic; but how could an epileptic know that Jesus of Nazareth, the carpenter, was the Holy One of Israel? He may have had fits like an epileptic, but he was more than an epileptic; he was de-i mon possessed. The presence of Jesus precipitated the crisis, as it did when ever He came in contact with demon possessed people. Jesus did not want the kind of testimony which this evil spirit would give, and so He rebuked him; not the man. but the spirit, say ing, “Be muzzled, and come out of him.” After a terrific convulsion, the spirit did come out of the man and left him in a normal condi tion, so that the people began to talk amongst themselves, like this: "What is thit? is it a new teaching? With authority He <-ommands the unclean spirits! Yes. and they obey Him I” Was the question of the spirit to Jesus a correct one? Had He come to destroy them.* 1 John, 3:8, answers the question, and II Thes., 2:8. shows His final work in this connection. In the Home, and at Evening leaving the synagogue, they went to the home of Peter and Andrew, where Peter’s mother-in-law was sick of the fever. In this early period of His ministry, the disciples were not unite sure whether it was His plan •to heal the sick or not. They were not quite sure, therefore, whether they should let Him know about this illness or not; but finally Xnon they tell Hhn of her.” That is the <ure for all of our ills; ns nothing that we can need be kept back from Him. In nothing should we be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, if we let our requests be made known unto God. the peace of God which passeth all understand ing shall keep our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Just to tell Him of it was all that was necessary; for He wont in and took her by the hand and lifted her up; and straight way the fever left her. There was no weak ness or prolonged convalescence, for she min istered unto Hitn that very day. It is rather interesting that the Holy Spirit here should have mentioned Peter's wife, in view of the claims of the Roman church which t has taken Him as the bead of their clergy. | when they insist upon the celibacy of the j clergy. Clement of Alexandria tells us that | Peter's wife wonderfully assisted him in his : work, telling the glad story to the women in the places where he worked, thus giving to these shut-in Orientals an opportunity they would not otherwise have bad. After sunset, the Sabbath day being over, and the fame of Jesus having spread over the town, the whole village was gathered to gether at His door -nd He healed all that wer<- sick anti cast out demons, not suffering them to speak. What a glad evening that was in Capernum. not a sick person in the whole city! The joy of physical health and strength coursing through the veins of every boy and girl every man and woman, and every little baby in ibat whole city; and all because Jesus was there! He must have been tired that night when He went to bed: but early tn the morning, a great while before day. He aros-- and went out into a lonesome spot and there prayed. The Son of God himself found it neuessary to go ba. k to the Source of all strength before He began another day s work. Bv breakfast time. He was found by His disciples who said. Master, where have you bppn ? Everybody is looking for you, tx> which He replied. "Let us K" elsewhere into the next towns, that 1 may preach there also, for this end came I THE LEPER HEALED One day. in His tour through Galilee, as He went through all the towns and villages, heal in' and preaching and casting out demons, a lo?rible snecime nos humanity came up to Him and kneeled at His feet and said, Lord, if you only . boose, you can make me clean. ‘b? 1 expressed great faith on that leper’s part; tor ttere was hardly a spot on his body that wa not rotting with that horible disease. A more repulsive looking object could not have been imagined, but Jesus was not repelled. He put forth His hand and touched him even, and said. I do choose: be thou clean!” And I . l ™ nle,l *?A e , l . y his flesh became as healthy as a little child s. What a marvelous transformation took place in tbst man after Jesus touched him and spoke to h'm’ Jesus commanded mm to go now to Jeru salem and show himself to the priest and offer for his cleansing the sacrifices which Moses had commanded, and have the priest pronounce him clean; and commanded him strictly not to tell anyone along the way. But the man d >*?beyed Him and told everyone he met you can hardly t lame the man in one way), so that the tame of Jesus became so great that He could no more, openly, come into the city, but stayed in the desert places around about, where people came to Him. This man could have been of much more serv ice to Jesus bad he obeyed Him; for the testi mony which He would have given would have been exceedingly valuable to Jesus when lie came in contact with the priests two years later His disobedience rather retarded the work of Christ. His obedience would have helped Him. _ . . And thus we sec through Mark s eye a picture o' the marvelous power of Jesus of Nazareth, who, as the Son of God, was manifested to de- | stroy the works of the devil in taking hold of the minds of men and making them act as they would not act under any other We see Him destroy the works of the devil as He brings sickness iu Peter’s home and m the homes of Capernaum. We see Him destroy t e works of the devil just as the d<vil is about to destroy the body of this poor leper, in ad-, di-.ion to his suffering, was an outcast. Jnst as He had overcome the devil in the wilderness ot . temptation, now He is showing Himself power ful to overcome the devil as he has taken in bandage men and women. And let us remember just this, that He is jnst the same yesterday, today and forever, and that He can and will de stroy whatever work the devil is trying to do in i our hearts. He is ready to set us free as He did the ciemoniac; He is willing to heal lists He did the people of Capernaum; He is willing to effect the miraculous change in our lives as He did in the life of that leper, if w« will just let Him. . | GETS 28 EGGS A DAY NOW, FROM 34 HENS Chas.

Burrell-Dugger Co.. 120 Co j lumbia Indianapolis, Ind.—(AdvfeJ Our Household These Cold, Cold Days Did any one say that Boreas had laid aside his ambition to overcome the earth? Well, there was a struggle be tween the king of the north and the snow sprites. Such a time as they had! And to this day I can’t say that either was the vanquished one. I know that old Sol refused to be umpire. He hid his face, entirely shut himself out of the combat and left Dame Nature tc turn the account to good or ill for Mother Earth just as she sees fit. Moth er Earth’s children were caught be tween the supper and nether millstones the winds whipped them, the snow blinded them. The thermometer in the hall had been rather ambitious for a day or so, had promised all sorts of i climbing antics and it had such a i drop that one could almost hear it hi' with the “dull thud” the novelists so often write up. There has been cold weather enough it seemed to this one Floridian. This adopted country shouldn’t be so lavish with the white trimming and the freezes, they would be more appreciated if thinly, very thinly, scattered in cool ing breezes and balmy zephyrs through summer's reign; it’s a shame to pile al' i the cool weather on poor old Janus and his associates. This farm and its inhabitants had just about recovered from the prosaic duties of hog-killing and the festivities of Christmas. A New Year resolution to finish up the loose ends that 1917 had left was progressing when this last visitation made it necessary to see that the creatures we stand in place of Providence to were protected. I say that two or three winters in succession with the mercury actually trying to get uut of the lower end of the thermometer might teach the farm ers to provide winter conveniences, but the general plan now is to shoulder the ax and go to the well and chop the Ice out of the trough so as to make room for fresh water. There is an old saying that the eye of the master fattens the stock. I heard a man say when telling of his own and some neighbors’ losses, “We can’t carry all we possess in our pockets.” There have been little pigs, old hens and dozens of eggs frozen this winter. Just now I’ve a basket of baby chicks that I’ve had to mother. As the weather grew more intense the problem of keeping them from freezing after the room began to cool was up to me. Once in Atlanta I had twenty-six incubator chicks delivered in freezing weather, and then I tilled my hot water bag and put it under them, but this time said hot water bag had gone astray and seven long cold miles stretched between this farm and a drug store selling anything ' of the kind. j Finahy I thought of a substitute. I | heated an iron and put it in the basket with them. Carefully wrapping the homely thing I made it into the very thing for the babies to snuggle against. I had a dozen egbgs that I wanted to put under a hen and I put them in the same basket. I had put fifty in the incubator a few days ago, and that has been an other problem. Zero weather does not agree with cheap incubators, and mine is nothing extra, I never use one when 1 can help it, not that I object to the chicks they turn out, I’ve had a great many, but I do object to the three weeks constant supervision. I have had as many as a dozen hens acting in that ca pacity at one time, the hens are often flighty, they break eggs and get on the wrong nests, but they have life and do not need the sort of attention that keeps one indoors. Busy Bee kept dozens and dozens of eggs from freezing last winter by packing them on her feather bed and piling quilts on them. Both of our feath er beds were occupied this year and I’ve wondered if it would have succeed ed if the opportunity had presented it self. Sister wrote me that even in her Florida home there has been frozen eggs. Her children had never seen any. and the next day as two of them were “playing ladies,” she heard them dis cussing the weather, and the little five year-old said, "Yes, ma-am. it has been very cold—why it was so cold that one of our hens laid a frozen egg.” There have been at least three eggs, some times mftre, every day this month, and they have had to be brought right in 'the house or they would have been froz en. I shudder to think of the canned fruit and vegetables that this freeze will spoil—they may be fit to eat. but after a can freezes there is a change that alters the flavor. Have any of you had a visit from Germany’s secret agent, the one pos ing as a member of the food commis sion and demanding your canned goods? There are such creatures abroad in the land, and if such should come to your community be sure to notify your sheriff.

The Farm Journal says: "If a stranger comes nosing around pretending to be a government employe, clothed with au thority to inspect your fruit shelves, and to carry away .your fruit, set the dog on him; he is an imposter.” I say let the sheriff lock him up. then he cannot deceive or rob anyone.

Don’t forget that you are not doing your Christian duty unless you enough for your own family a year and some for our allies or their orphans. Are you feeding the birds that are around your door this cold weather? Remember that your crops depend on their bright eyes and voracious appetite for insects. My wish for each one of you is that while there is this lull in farm work, and in city life, too, you may enjoy “A little fireplace bright with cheer. A wood-pile lasting all the year, A bunk for sleep, a shelf for books Some cushions for the window nooks.” Faithfully yours, LIZZIE O. THOMAS. Fuscumbia, Ala. j Like Being Hit j By Rattle Snake j ’ Says that every time you cut j i or pick at a corn you ? 1 invite lockjaw ? ♦ t i T r i - - _ . -_ f You reckless men and women who are pestered with corns and who have at least once a week invited an awful death from lockjaw or blood poison are now told by a Cincinnati authority to use a drug called freezone, which the moment a few drops are applied to any com, the soreness is relieved and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts right out with the fingers, without one particle of pain. This freezone is a sticky substance which dries the moment it is applied and just loosens the corn without in flaming or even irritating the surround ing tissue or skin. He says a quarter of an ounce of freezone will cost very little at any of the drug stores, but this is sufficient"!© rid one’s feet of every hard or soft corn or callus. You are positively warned that cut ting or picking at a corn is a suicidal habit. —(Advt.) ■ | Make Your Own Cough ; Syrup and Save Money ? :: 1 Bettor than the ready-made kind. ? Easily prepared at home. I' . • *! T T - - ( T . -...» The finest cough syrup that money can buy, costing only about one-fifth as much as ready-made preparations, can easily be made up at home. The way it takes hold and conquers distressing coughs, throat and chest colds will real ly make you enthusiastic about it. Any druggist can supply you with 2 1-2 ounces of Pinex (60 cents worth). Pour this into a point bottle and fill the bottle with plain granulated sugar syrup. Shake thoroughly and it is ready for use. The total cost is about 65 cents and gives you a full pint—a family supply—or a most effectual, pleasant tasting remedy. It keeps per fectly. It’s truly astonishing how quickly it acts, penetrating through every air passage of the throat and lungs—loosens and raises the phlegm, soothes and heals the inflamed or swollen throat membranes, and gradually but surely the annoying throat tickle and dreaded cough will disappear entirely. Nothing petter for bronchitis, spasmodic croup, whooping cough or bronchial asthma. Pinex is a special and highly concen trated compound of genuine Norway pine extract, and is known the world over for its prompt healing effect on the throat membranes. Avoid disappointment by asking your druggist for “2 1-2 ounces of Pinex” with full directions and don’t accept anything else. A guarantee of abso lute satisfaction or money promptly refunded, goes with this preparation. The Pinex Co., Ft. Wayne, Ind. • (Advt.) 5
