of S. BUFFALO EVENING NEWS: FEBRUARY 1913. EVENING NEWS. Buffalo, Feb: 1913. Helpfulness.

IL you have made another, smile Upon his weary way today, It only for Little whlie You're chased another's gloom away; If you have met upon the road brother limping and distressed And helped him with his heavy load, Then you have earned your night. of rest. If you have smoothed another's brow, And by your labors made him glad, It only words of yours, somehow, Have cheered toiler who was sad, Tonight, If just because of you, Hope lives within a brother's breast Think not of what you've failed to do, You still have earned your time of rest. -Detroit Free Press. The Meeting Place (Copyright, 1912, by W.

Werner.) It began by Tom's reading an advertisement in the paper one chill morning when the steam was low and dingy rain was smudging up the windows of the tiny flat. "Here at last is what I've been looking for!" he cried. "Restwood new suburb only 40 minutes out--bungalow built for two'" -he laughed. "I shall see that place before the day's over, Rhea." He did. And when he came home that evening the steam was working better and Reah's headache was gone and there were breaded cutlets for dinner.

Rhea was sufficiently re sponsive in her enthusiasm. The following Saturday they went out to look at the bungalow. It was very commodious, very tasteful. There was to be no other exactly like it, the agent said. Mr.

Clark, the man who had opened Restwood to the public, had stipulated that there should be diversity of detail in architecture. Mr. Clark's own house was next door -an $18,000 affair- built to please his wife, who WAS living there at present as the quietest place she could find. She had been having an attack of nerves. "I daresay she'll be very glad to have a neighbor," the agent added, discreetly.

"You see, there's nobody really living here yet, but by fall, of course, it will be quite a little town. And you'll find her acquaintance very enjoyable." "Oh, I'm sure of it," Rhea breathed. Ever since she married' Tom and came to the city to live she had been hearing of Mrs. Clark. The rather commanding house next door had acquired new interest in Rhea's shining eyes.

She looked at Tom and her left eye executed a cunning signal in the way of a wink, to which he instantly responded. Half an hour later the bungalow had ceased to be "the house we're thinking of it was "our future home." Snuggling beside Tom in the back seat of the agent's big car, Rhea chattered happily. "I know we'll be friends, Tom, she and I. Why shouldn't we be? I'm nice, am I not? At least you've always said And, oh, I've been so lonesome in that flat with no real neighbors like I was always used to in the country," she said. "I know." Tom slipped his arm about her shoulder and patted her.

He drew a deep breath. "It's going to be unhill business for a while paying for: this, dear, but I guess we'll find some compensation on the vay, Think of growing radishes and salad greens and tulips on your own land! Think of being 88 good as 10,000 miles away from motioned toward the city- 'at night!" But Rhea's mind still ran in the one track. Think of having a neighbor and such neighbor 88 Mrs. Jonas M. Clark! never dreamed I'd find her living out there, Tom, even though her husband does own all that land." Rhea was very happy all next day tearing up one home to make another.

She had never felt content in the flat with its narrow spaces and eternal environment of city hustle and bustle. To her the bungalow meant escape for soul and body alike. Tom was as happy as she. Then at last came the great day when the moving van sailed away with its precious cargo and they followed it on the trolley. During the first weeks in the bungalow Rhea was too busy and excited to think beyond the passing moment.

She changed everything about half a dozen times before she could get the effect she desired. The weather had become warm and garden and flower-beds had to be planted. Every night when Tom swung off the car at the corner she ran to meet him with some entrancing new tale. It WAS all 80 novel, so, exquisite like living their honeymoon over. One Sunday afternoon when the house seemed in permanent order, when Tom had had dinner and smoked his cigar and walked thrice about the garden plot and read the newspapers, he yawned cavernously, leaned back in his chair and looked at Rhea.

"By George, it's still out here!" he said. "Do you know, I sort of miss the sound of the workmen's hammers? I'll be glad when folks begin to move in around us. By the way, dear, has Mrs. Clark called yet?" Rhea shook her head. "No, Tom.

To tell the truth, I've been so busy I've hardly thought about her. I suppose she's known that. Lonesome, dear?" Tom rallied himself. "Oh, not a bit. I was only wonder ing," said.

"Of course," Rhea went on, presently, "now that everything is settled she probably will be over. see her nearly every day, Tom, and though she looks rather ill she's lovely, with such beautiful, graying hair and such a presence! She motors a lot and always alone And she lives so quietly -on account of her nerves, I sup. pose. Nobody ever comes out of town to see her. And that makes me think, Tom, you may ask the Tymesons out to dinner next Sunday if you But the Tymesons had another engagement for.

the following Sunday, though they'd love to come some time. The few other people whom Rhea had known in town seemed to think It too far to come, or else they had forgotten. At least, nobody came to see Rhea; even Mrs. Clark's long looked call creased to be possibility. Rhea, looking with lonely, eyes from the window, saw her solve and ins dally in the big buff car which an Immobile: chauffeur maneuvered.

The weather was now perfect for- -motorIng and there was surely room for one lonesome little person beside Mrs. Clark- if Mrs. Clark had thought so. Gradually Rhea became impressed with the doleful fact that Mrs. Clark either through indifference.

And we're ing on her husband's land- at least. it was his land till Tom bought It: Oh, I'm so disappointed!" That night when Tom came out be brought Rhea a bor of candy.

Rhea grew languid and indifferent. There was no resson for her going into town and she did not go. The only thing that surtained her WAS the unvarying fact that Tom would appear punctually at 6:45. "I might well live On the she thought. "I've heard women go mad there, but to go mad within arm's length of a neighborShe laughed hysterically.

One interminable afternoon she sat for a long time staring at the bungalows growing to sound of hammer and saw in the distance. She rose finally and, going to the opposite The window, two maids had gone to town she knew, gazed at the Clark house. for she had seen them take the trolley. As she gazed the curtain of And the chauffeur was nowhere in sight. the window opposite her own stirred and she fancied she caught a glimpse of her unfriendly neighbor's face.

"She's there," thought, most fiercely. "And she won't come." A great lump in her throat choked her. "Well, I'll go to her. iT'll arouse her If I have to throw a pebble against her window to do It. I can't- can't bear this any longer." Midway between her house' and the Clarks' she bumped into something with an impact that jarred her into sensibility.

She felt the clamp of arms, sweet voice speaking above her head and looked up into pair of dark eyes. "You she gasped. "Yes," Mrs. Clark replied, was coming to find you. They seem to have forgotten me -her voice broke.

"But there was there was always Rhea, understanding, reminded her. "An I'm forgotten, too." "Ah, but I thought you didn't care," the older woman said.

He, too, succumbed to poison, that is to say, to a dose of arsenic, supposed to have been administered by Nihilist.

Prince Buelow in Power. That Prince Buelow still retains very remarkable amount of influence with tho Kaiser, and with the government at Berlin, is shown in a striking manner by recent appointments, Prince Lichnowsky, who last 1:011 8p- pointed to the post of ambassador in London, has been one of his principal secretaries, and so wholly devoted to him, that he had retired from the government service when Buelow resigned the chancellorship of the empire. Another of Buelow's private secretaries, and most trusted lleutenants, member indeed of his household, Kottlieb von Jagow, has lately been ap: pointed secretary of state for foreign affairs at Berlin, and now the emperor has apponted Baron Martin von Rucker Jeniach, a first cousin of Prince Buelow, to the post of German ambassador at Rome, where the Buelows have made their principal home at the Villa Malta, which belongs to them. ever since the prince gave up the chancellorship. In view of the intimacy between the baron and the prince, one can only see in the appointment of the former a desire on the part of the emperor ready noted as territorial magnates and powerful boyards of the province of Novgorod.

One of the best known in the 18th century was that Nicholas Mouravietf, the poet and historian, who was selected by Catherine the Great to direct the education of her grandsons, and who after the accession to the throne of his pupil, Alexander was created by him Senator and Minister of Public Instruction. To Nicholas Mouravieff, Catherine the Great confided the direction of the topographical survey of her empire, and he died as Governor of Livonia. Alexander Mouravieff, Governor of Novgorod, was one of the principal lieutenants of Alexander II. in the organization of his emancipation of the serfs. To another member of the family, Nicholas Nicholalovitch Mouravieft, the Emperor accorded the addition of Karski to his patonymic in recognition of his successful siege of Kars.

Still another Mouravieft, also named Nicholas, conquered for Russia all the eastern portion of Siberia, and received for a reward of him services from Nicholas I. the right to add the word Amurski to bia patronymic. His name is held in friendly memory, even by the revolutionists in Russia, owing to his kindness while Governor-General of Siberia, to Michael Bakounine, the father of the revolutionary movement and the founder of Nihilism, who after having been a member of the imperial household was exiled to Siberia for his political offenses.
