One of these cities, with population placed at 1,500,000, bore the name "Libertyorloffskoizalinski," and there was a still more populous one, centrally located and marked "Capitol," which bore the name "Freedomslovnaivenovich." The mansion  the Colonel's usual name for the house  was a rickety old two story frame of considerable size, which had been painted, some time or other, but had nearly forgotten it. ONE OF THESE CITIES WITH POPULATION PLACED AT ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND BORE THE NAME LIBERTY OR LOLOVSKOY OLYNSKI AND THERE WAS A STILL MORE POPULOUS ONE CENTRALLY LOCATED AND MARKED CAPITAL WHICH BORE THE NAME FRIEDOM SLAVNA IVANOVITCH THE MANSION THE COLONEL'S USUAL NAME FOR THE HOUSE WAS A RICKETY OLD TWO STORY FRAME OF CONSIDERABLE SIZE WHICH HAD BEEN PAINTED SOME TIME OR OTHER BUT HAD NEARLY FORGOTTEN IT
f pictures. Some of these terrors were landscapes, some libeled the sea, some were ostensible portraits, all were crimes. All the portraits were recognizable as dead Americans of distinction, and yet, through labeling, added by a daring hand, they were all doing duty here as "Earls of Rossmore." The newest one had left the works as Andrew Jackson, but was doing its best now as "Simon Lathers Lord Rossmore, Present Earl." On one wall was a cheap old railroad map of Warwickshire. This had been newly labeled, "The Rossmore Estates." On the opposite wall was another map, and this was the most imposing decoration of the establishment, and the first to catch a stranger's attention, because of its great size. It had once borne simply the title SIBERIA, but now the word "FUTURE" had been written in front of that word. There were other additions, in red ink--many cities, with great populations set down, scattered over the vast country at points where neither cities nor populations exist to-day. HE DIED YOU HAVE SEEN THAT KIND OF PICTURES SOME OF THESE TERRORS WERE LANDSCAPES SOME LIBELLED THE SEA SOME WERE OSTENSIBLE PORTRAITS ALL WERE CRIMES ALL THE PORTRAITS WERE RECOGNIZABLE AS DEAD AMERICANS OF DISTINCTION AND YET THROUGH LABELING ADDED BY A DARING HAND THEY WERE ALL DOING DUTY HERE AS EARLS OF ROSSMORE THE NEWEST ONE HAD LEFT THE WORKS AS ANDREW JACKSON BUT WAS DOING ITS BEST NOW AS SIMON LATHER'S LORD ROSS MOOR PRESENT EARL ON ONE WALL WAS A CHEAP OLD RAILROAD MAP OF WARWICKSHIRE THIS HAD BEEN NEWLY LABELED THE ROSS MOOR ESTATES ON THE OPPOSITE WALL WAS ANOTHER MAP AND THIS WAS THE MOST IMPOSING DECORATION OF THE ESTABLISHMENT AND THE FIRST TO CATCH A STRANGER'S ATTENTION BECAUSE OF ITS GREAT SIZE IT HAD ONCE BORNE SIMPLY THE TITLE SIBERIA BUT NOW THE WORD FUTURE HAD BEEN WRITTEN IN FRONT OF THAT WORD THERE WERE OTHER EDITIONS IN RED INK MANY CITIES WITH GREAT POPULATION SET DOWN SCATTERED OVER THE VAST COUNTRY AT POINTS WHERE NEITHER CITIES NOR POPULATIONS EXIST TO DAY
