This league still exists in a more official shape, under the name of Okhrana (Protection) and from time to time frightens the pre: ent Czar with all sorts of concocted “‘dan- gers” in order to maintain its existence. A still more secret organization, .he Holy League, was form at the same time, under the leadership of the brother of the Czar, Vladimir, for the purpose of opposing the revolutionists in _different ways, one of which was to kill off those of the refugees who were supposed to have been the leaders of tne late conspiracles. 1 was of this number. The Grand Duke violently reproached the officers of the league for their cowardice, regretting that there were none among tnem who would undertake to kill such refugees; and an officer, who had been a page de chambre at the time I was in the corps of pages, was appointed by the league to carry out this particular work. Skobeloff, the hero of the Turkish war, was asked to join this league but he biankly refused. —————— Perhaps the most extraordinary family in the world is one now living at Arkan- sas City. The mother has been married five times, and for each husband she has had a child. The five children are living with her and each bears the name of its father. “I wonder who christens all these dogs,” remarked the License Collector’s deputy wearily, as he entered for the thousandth and odd time the name, ad- dress and full particulars of a two-dol- lar canine in the register. There was a long of people of all sorts and conditions waiting to contri- bute $2 to the city treasury, merely to secure their pet dogs against the pre- datory poundman. Some of them, well- dressed ladies, carried Fido or Jip, or whatever its name might be, under their arms, evidently under the impres sion that it is necessary to produce your dog in order to register it. The men, being more practical, for the most part left their dogs at home, and the work of registration went merrily on. A roughly dressed, horsey looking youth, with a peculiarly stupid face, blocks the way for ten minutes. He was sent by his employer the day be- fore to register two dogs, and in some unaccountable manner gave the names of two wrong animals. “Do please alter the pleads, with tears in lose my job if you don't The request altogethe papers,” he eves, “or I'll irregular, it involv the erasure several lines on the neatly kept regi but at last, out of sheer pity for the distressed vouth, the deputies yield, and he de- parts rejoicing, having, it is to be hoped, saved his job Then the waiting line ges forward one ep, and a well-dress ss man, wearing an air of cont perity, steps to the desk man as one would expect to owner of a champlon Dane or Bernard of high lineage. But when asked the breed of his dog, he describes it as yellow, and as bearing the filting name of Tramp. Must be a valuable yellow dog to be worth a $2 fee,” I remarked. The man smiled indulgently “Well, it isn’t much of a dog, 1 admit, rathe a bit of a sooner, in fact. But my little boy's fond of it. You needn't laugh at me for keeping a yellow dog. 1 had the finest fox terrier in the city, and it turped up its toes died with- out any reason that I could discover. Then I got & beautiful Irish setter, and it took a walk one morning and never came back. Now I've got a yellow dog lose and I'm that you can't kill or happy.” At first sight it seems rather super- fluous to enter the names of dogs in the register, becatu the knowledge is not of any particular value as a means of identification. “We do it to prevent fraud,” explains the deputy. ‘“People who either find or steal a tag come up here to get dupli- cate certificates, and then we ask them what the name of their dog is. Th question floors them. body, if tk have their certificate, n get a dupli- cate tag on payment of 25 cents, but it cannot be used on another dog.” As a matter of fact, however, it often is. Lots of people who have two or more dogs apply for duplicates, pre- tending they have lost the original. They save $1756 by this little device. Another plan is to make one tag do duty for several dogs by changing the collar. The inconvenience of this method, however, is that you can only have one dog free at a time. The Li- cense Collector is powerless to check these evasions, nor can the poundman help him.
