Furthermore, a man who owes a large sum of money seems to be respected by the butcher, baker and candlestick maker more than the thrifty anxious soul who is disquieted by @ trifling unpaid bill gieat part of the year. Thwarted on the west and south, ice-bound on the north, this great, mysterious, seemingly irresisti- ble power extends her dominion steadily u1til she reaches the Sea of Japan on the esst; acquiring, by bold and skillful di- plomacy, the Amur country, equal in area to France. For the purpose of uniting her vast dominions, Russia is pushing to speedy completion her great Siberian railway from the Ural mountains to her Asian seaport fcrtress. The names around this Eastern fortress indicate Russian aspirations: Viad- ivostock means “Ruler of the East,” the harbor is called the “Golden Horn,” the passage to the sea the “Eastern Bosphorus” and the bay the “Gulf of Peter the Great.” If not in Europe, yet in Asia, after cen- turies of patient striving, will Russian |The audacious debtor is pointed out to areams of becoming a sea power at last be | strangers, not derisively, not with the finger of reproach, but : building, a landmark in the community.

The man who owes $50,000 is far better off, so far as this world goes, than the man who owes $50. Are there not banks that lend cheerfully to him who already owes them $50,000, fearing possibly that, if angered by refusal, the debtor will never pay even @ portion of the original deb’ debt. The only trouble is the difficulty in finding any one who will lend the first $50,000. We have not found him yet, and we have been searching for him since 1879.
