THE UNSOPHISTICATED MOUJIK.
Charlemagne Tower, the American Ambassador to Russia, was talking at Atlantic City about the Russian moujlk. " r JMs naive fellow," he said, "Is something like a boy and something like an irishman. He ls, as a rule, very simple, very kind. "A typical moujik entered one day a railroad station. He approached the agent and asked when a certain train would leave for a certain place. The agent told him distinctly, and, eeoming satisfied, he departed. But a moment later be was back again, and again he asked tbe agent the some question. " 'Why,' the agent exclaimed, 'I told yon that only a minute ago!' " Tou did, truly,' the moujik answered, 'bnt It isn't myself that wants to know this time. It'e my mate outside.' "
