Knew Naught of Taxgather[?]rs.

Many an< strange are the discoveries which are occasionally made In the outlying districts of the dominions of the great white czar. But it is somewhat of a novelty that an entire village should recently have been discovered of the existence of which no one seems to have had any idea. Deep In the forests of the Ural the authorities have discovered a flourislilug village, the Inhabitants of which speak a curious language of their own and seem to form a sort of Ideal commonwealth, in which taxes and taxgatherers, among other troublesome things, are unheard of. This latter defect, however, Is now to be remedied.
