DARING COSSACKS
4.
Russian Rough Riders an Old and
Famous Body.
ONCE KNIGHTS OF FREEDOM.
In Former Times They Wore Known
Entirely ■■ Defenders of the Poor and
the Oppressed—Deadly as Marksmen
and Experts With the Sword.
The popular conception of the Rus
sian Cossack Is a whiskered atrocity
who rides with the speed of the wind,
comes to do acts of pillage and of ra
pine and then goes back again into the
bosom of the tall grass from which he
came. By many he Is supposed to be
! long to a legendary tribe whose history
! stretches back into the blackness of
j the dark ages from which be tins uot
yet emerged.
No; the Cossack is in many respects
like the simple Russian peasant In
others he Is like the cowboy of the
I western plains, whose home is as much
in the saddle as in his own village.
Far from being oppressors, the Cos
sacks were once known entirely as the
defenders of the poor aud the wrong
ed. They belonged to an order of rus
| tic chivalry, the Kazachestvo, the
j Knights of Freedom.
The name Kazak is of Tartar origin
and means "Freeman." It was applied
to men driven from the more settled
countries and who under the blue sky
rode without the trammel of tradition,
without the interference of kings, po
| teniates and powers. There v. .is a time
! when nobles laid heavy hand upon the
' subject and human life was held in
email account
The thirteenth and the fourteenth
centuries saw the Cossaeks developed
Into communities living in the neigh
borhood of the river Dnieper and rid
ing hither end thither to keep watch
and ward over the domain of the em
peror.
The cowooy guards of the great
southwest In this country, who are
now disappearing from our American
life, are Cossacks In spirit. When they
become cavalrymen, Texas Rangers or
1 rough ridTm they are Amerieuu Cos
| sacks.
Jiaere were :w ti • ■•■■■i.i
the Cossacks, but once tliey had en
rolled In the Cossack legions they left
behind tbftn all their past. Some were
exiles for political reasons, others hail
been hunted for taking into their own
bands the avenging of wrongs. And
what avalli a name after all? Wheu
the officers of the state came Inquiring
into the Cossack encampments for L>e
metri this and Ivan that nothing was
known of them at all, for the Cossacks
permitted ilien to divest themselves of
former tltU-3 and to begin the free life
with a new nomenclature. To theiu
the newcomer were "Big Nose," "Yel
low Buttons" or some other nicknamed
comrade.
While other persons paid taxes the
Cossack was subject to uo such Incon
venient levy. His share was paid by
the power of his sword and his pistols.
He Insisted always tint he was not to
be assessed, but that he should give
his military Merrice when Uussia re
quired it of him.
When the Cossack communities were
first formed tboy were inhabited ouly
by men. The Kazachestvo took vows
of celibacy. It was an order that lived
like anchorites and fought like demons.
As the ages have passed there have
been many changes. The Cossacks
have families and their owa home life.
At first, however, young and daring
youths were sent out to ride with the
Cossacks, and there was no system of
chivalry more punctilious than was this
government of the men of the steppes.
Offenses that Involved violation ol
their vows or the 111 treatment of the
weak and the oppressed were punished
with death. The sentences were quick
ly Imposed and speedily executed.
Cowboy Justice and Cossack rule are
the same in principle
The dress of the Cossack has become
more or less conventional as the years
have gone. We see him in the long
coat of brown or of green, with the
great lambskin cap on his head, with
strong belts containing cartridges about
his waist He shows the Influence of
military training. The Cossack of tO'
day Is a model of elegance compared
with what he used to be. He seized
garments covered with gold lace, coats
of silks and sable and smeared them
with mire and tallow to show his su
preme disregard for fine trappings. He
wore coarse "garb, but in the care ol
hU weapons the Cossack lias always
I been punctilious.
i His markmanshlp was deadly anc'
I accurate, even when riding at ful
speed, as that of the cowboys of the
I western United States. The Cossack;
have been expert swordsmen for cen
tnries. Their proficiency in arms came
from their environment. The steppe;
In which they sought their livelihoot
were covered with grass often so higt
only the head and shoulders of the rid
i ers appeared above tbe top of it. Game
was abundant In those thick tangles
fruit could be obtained easily: the riv
i ers teemed with fish. The wants o:
the Cossacks were few and simple

NEW FIELD FOR
Chicago, April ii—If you hu\ e
ever been in a campaign manager's
candidate's "headquarters," just
before election, a definite idea can
'•e gained of the headquarters of
railroad attorneys, statisticians, wit
nesses and press agent during ar
bitration tiuie.
Since it has become a part of
the railroad manager's daily work
to testify before interstate com
merce commissions and state rail
roads, the press agent is a neces
sary adjunct to railroading.
Chicago has two headquarters
lor railroad arbitrators. One is
in the Federal building where a half
dozen typewriters are clicking all
day long, turning out copy. The
other is in a 6uite of rooms at the
I^aSalle. Besides the press steno
graphers there are private secre
taries to the counsellors and the i
railroad officials attending the
hearing have a stenographer, too.
The "headquarters" is completely
organized, circus-like. II is ready
U> move at short notice. Wherever
arbi'rati g is on the press agent
and his retinue are likely to be
called.
STICKS I P CHl'ltCH EUJEKS
Oklahoma City, Okla., April S —
F. E. Nime recently walked into the
study of Rev. Phil Baird, where l'.e
and eight directors of the First
Presbyterian church were holding
a meeting. Nime pulled a gun
from his pocket and said:
j "Gentlemen, 1 have a very un
pleasant duty to perform. I want
I your money and I want it quick."
Kev. Phil Baird walked deliberate
!"' up to him and said: "Wait, my
dear man. You probably need mon
ey but I will help you get it hon
estly. 1 will get you a job."
Xiiue, a college man who later
admitted having served time in a
New York workhouse, wanted the
luonty on the spot. He said he
had ot eaten food for twenty four
hours. When finally the minister
| had talked hiiu into putting away
the gun, the meeting took up N'iaio's
case.
himself to keep Hie facts set-ret to
save Nime.
Nime broke his promise to the
mi ister, however, and ulso l°- t
the job the elders obtained for
bim. A week later he appeared
::t a church entertainment with the
same business-like gun. A second
time they made him put away the
weapon. But while Rev. Baird was
willing t> try religion on Xime
again the elders called the police.
That's how the story became pub
lic.

Washington, April S—At 4
j o'clock last Friday afternoon the
100,000.000 population goal of the
United States was reached, accord
ing to estimates of C. C. Sloans,
cuisus bureau geographer. At that
lirur tlie nation's nos°s numbered
100,000,059. Treasury department'
actuaries, however, figured that
tne hundred million mark was pass
ed Feb. 1. Different standards
cause the confusion, the census es
timates being based on the growth
of population between 1900 and
1910.
