SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 21 1904 1 "Thus it Is that our Asiatic subject sia's power in Central Asia, compar- m -sermonetto: The Experience of a Collector Who Rashly Volunteered to Collect t . . Written for The Horning Post Being endowed "with a pessimistic conscience and physically unable to visit, I one day, in a fit of mental aberatlon, offered my services to Rev. Dr. Matthias, Rector of the Church of The Love of God; the dear old gentle man's face beamed, with pleasure and clasping my hand, in both of his, he shook it warmly. i'My dear Mrs. Eden you are the very person I have been thinking of," said he; "Yes I da need some help, and am delighted to find one so ready, willing- and capable; this Is such, an unexpected lift to my mind, I hardly know how to thank you. We are in need of a little money to carry on our work, and ' here is a list of names of r Derson? whom - I think It would.be well for you to see. Now will you do his as soon as possible, and let me hear from you? Good bye. I certainly do appreciate your offer." A' few hours after. I was at the door of a most estimable woman and, after explaining1 to her my business, asked her if she would no go with me; she very politely declined, and adroitly changed the conversation . I then stated the case to another friend, whom I knew was very fond of our Rector; she ' seemed to- take great interest in the business, and agreed to assist me. "It is a disagreeable duty I know, Mrs. Eden, and most people shirk it, but I never do, so I will be on. hand at the appointed hour. The next day I received a message from, her, -to this effect; "that she was very busy and could not go with me." After making two or more applications, and meeting with the same answer, I asked myself the question, "Whether the duty was really such a disagreeable one, or was I personally so?" Finally I bethought me of a young friend fresh and attrac tive, who consented to go over the ground with roe. . Providing .myself wi.th cards and a number of circulars, which would explain our business, we ventured out. the next morning. We turned our horses', heads down one of the principal streets, at the cor ner of which we saw a mutual friend, 'Oh! I never guage a person's gifts. I let them say what they are able to give." - Slowly. "Have you the change for a dollar?" "Yes," wondering in my soul what he meant. . "Well give me forty cents, and I'll give. you sixty, that is all I can spare." "Thank you very, much," I said and drove off. ; . ' There was a wealthy widower living nearby, noted for his -liberality and enterprise; lucidly we found him in his office; coming to the carriage, - I handed him a circular, which, after carefully glancing over, he tore in half the fragments dropping at f our feet.' "Well, Miss Lizzie," . said he. eyeing my beautiful companion from 'head to foot; "You are the. only person in town, who could have gotten a dollar out of me today." "How about myself?" I timidly asked. ".Oh! you are a Judas! you hold the bag," glancing at a small, modest looking reticule which hung from my arm. Among my friends there was one at whose hospitable home, I had spent many pleasant hours; she came out to the carriage, with deeply corrugated brows, her purse in one hand and my circular in the other. - " - : "And so its money you want, . Is it? Well! I'm willing to pay all I promise to, but this way of being always dun ned for something you don't know any thing about, I'm tired of; there's no end of it. Here's two dollars, it's all I have to give, and if I had any more, you'd never get It. Good morning." After beating about the city for two hours, and having little better success. I sent the circular into the house of a well-to-.do widow. It Is useless to say. that by this time I' was - cold, tired, hungry, discouraged. The servant re turned with the following message: Mis' Brown say. Won't you come agin, she's busy jes now!" A day or two previous to this, I had seen a life, long friend, and he had given me the sum of two dollars, re marking at the same time "If you don't get the desired amount, I'll give you another dollar." Fortunately we grow to like our rule, and in time be come more Russian than the Russians. They, are fond of giving a Russian twist to their names as soon as they enter the Czar's service. -;. , V "Two Asiatics, General Tergoukasoff and General Lazareff, commanded Rus sian troops in the war with Turkey In 1877-78. VJJ name of the former was Tergon before he left his home in the Caucasus, that of the latter Lazar. "Melik, an Armenian,, became the greatest man in Russia under a former Czar, and called himself Loris Meli koff. Alikhanoff, who has figured in Russian intrigues and advances in Cen tral .Asia for years, was a Daghestani, born at Baku. His name was AH Khan. He simply added 'off . to it when he became a Russian officer. .

When the Russians seized Manchuria, nearly 5,000 Chinese perished in the massacre at-Blagovestchensk. In the grim euphemism of one of the Czar.i generals "They went away." But so Indulgent were the authori ties after the massacre that in a few months all the Chinese merchants who had fled from the ' town, expecting never, to return, were back doing bus iness at their old stands, and many more had flocked in to compete with them under the protection of the just laws and paternal government of the Russians.; The atrocities committed by the Rus sian troops during the Pekln campaign, And after, shocked -the civilized world; but they did not shock the Chinese or ?ta??l2e tne Cheese government, ihe Chinese do not resent, the brutality Russians as they resent far milder punishment at the hands of "Liier nations, in that-Nnmo i .UMV t voycvt, .viicy re- 1 epect they resembel other AbUUob who f have felt the scourge of the Czar's sol diers. .

"You Anglo-Saxons, are fond. of talk ing about benevolent assimilation," said a former captain in the Russian army, who is now living In New York, "but if you want to see it realiv nut into practice, - you ought . to travel through Russian Asia. .

It is a familiar story to students of Russian conquest. Schamyl was the foremost foe of Russia In the Caucasus for a generation. Today Schamyl's sons are officers in the Russian army, treated with especial honor by the Czar. After the blood lust of the trooos was over at Pekin the Russians did all they could to save the lives of Chinese residents and to spare the feel ings oi the Chinese officials. The Ger mans declared that no protection could be given to Chinese, whether they had been implicated in the attack on the legations or not; the Russians pro tected them When the Russians left Pekin th Germans occupied their quarter of the city. Thereupon all the Chinese who had settled there immediately scam pered off into the adjacent Japanese quarter. They had felt they were saf under the Russians, but they would not trust the Germans. Yet both the Russians and the Japan ese had been guilty of slaughtering de fenceless Chinamen to a degree un equaled by the Germans or any other foreign soldiers the Russians in that very campaign, the Japanese in the Chino-Japanese war. "Kill me in time of war," says the Asiatic. "That's all right.- I expect it, unless I can kill you. But in time of peace let me live in my own way, and treat me as a man and a broth'er." Russia concedes this demand as no other Western nation does. That 's why there is no Nihilism in Asiatic Russia. j ' . Attorney Why did you look at me instead of at the jury?
