RUSSIA is becoming humane. A new
police edict provides that female eonvicts
shall no more be punished with the knout.
Instead, solitary confinement in the prison
of Pacific island is to be substituted.
Thus, if woman under the old rule
would have been subjected to one blow of
the knotted lash, she will now receive ten
days in the solitary cell. If she would
have been punished with the ordinary
whip, then for every blow under the
former rule she will receive two days in
the cell. For thus much of the extern
sion of mercy ~ by the Russian Bear, let
all the world give thanks.

FREDERIC HARRISON, master essayist,
in the Forum declares that he never stu
dies style, or gives any particular thought
to it in his composition. Yet Mr.. Harri-
son is recognized as one of the most fin
ished of writers, whose literary style is
well nigh faultless. He says he has po-
sitive and serious purpose in view always ;
that he aims to change mems opinions, or
to bring something practical to pass and
that he goes at the task without conscious
art, aiming only to strike direct blows.
This, he pronounces the secret of style
earnestness, directness, and sincerity. But
he advises that the writer keep himself in
close communion with the great masters Of
literature.

THE Duluth Tribune says it must be
very reassuring to people of pesSimistic
views ito find how general is the senti-
ment in favor of the postal movement
against the lottery" 1t should be, but is
not. Your American pessimist never ad-
mits that his croakings are mistaken. On
the contrary, he already illogically argues
that the expressed necessity for the new
law proves that it would be wiser to license
lottery gambling, since in this day of de-
generacy it cannot be suppressed. No,
the pessimist who believes,that the Amer
lean people are upon the downward road
to eternal smash will have it so, no matter
how general an expression Of high moral
sentiment emanates from the people.

That winter day, in particular, his cup
of SORROW was full to the brim. Among
the few adherents that remained to him
was Monsieur Berth, the garde-cha'npetre,
or field-keeper of the district This man
was his most cherished and intimate friend,
and his three-year-old son, Robert, was the
playmate of his own little grandchild,
Emile. Now, Robert was very ill-had
been ailing for the last four days-and his
father had not yet sent for Guichmerre.
SIS he, too, going to abandon me?'
unused the poor old doctor TO himself, as he
held out his long hands to the ruddy blaze.
Yet each time that he looked toward the
little avenue he hoped to see his friend
Berlin coming at full speed to seek his
aid
But, alas no Berth appeared, and the
lonely old man was benumbed with de-
spair How many times he gazed down
the deserted path, seeing naught but the
dreary, leafess platanes
1t was a cold and gloomy day in De-
cember-the mournful season for the aged
and infrm.
"What if should fall i'll myselfn
thought Guichemerre, in terror.
He had already given his orders to his
daughter, the mother of little Emile.
Remember" said he, "you will have
me attended to by the health officer of
Mimizan. Let no doctor ever cross my
threshold l would rather DIE"
The vine knots curled and twisted in
the flames and then crumbled to glowing
embers. At times the door of the house
opened, but not to admit the gGrde-cham-
petre. Never patient presented himself.
Poor Guichemerre felt terrible throbbings
in his detected old heart.
Suddenly his daughter came in.
Listen !" said she, her face pale with
anxiety.
The health officer raised his head and
turned pale likewise
The sound of horses hoofs sounded
along the road. Oh ! that sound, known
only too well
Eyes, yes it is hep said Guichemerre,
hoarsely. "He is going to Bertin's."
And in fact, ten seconds later, Dr. Pre-
vile crossed the narrow avenue. He was
mounted on his spirited horse, and, in
every movement betraying the glory of his
triumph, turned proudly toward the house
Of the garde-cRdmpetre.
Old Guichemerre covered his face with
his hands. All was over. Farewell the
Mayoralty Farewell the dream of his
liie Clasping his daughters hand in his.
he sat a long time silent aud dazed, with
out having even the power to weep.

Fine day.

ZINE day..
This was the remark addressed by the
man who was waiting for the street. car TO
the lank individual leaning against a lamp
post.
"Um-so, so, replied the lank party,
after taking survey of the sky.
"If the wind keeps blowing in this d.
rection for twenty-four hours longer, there
will be rain" ventured the first speaker.
"Um-rm not so sure about that" said
the other cautiously.
"The wind. at least, is dead south now"
"Um-perhaps."
at certainly isn't north"
The lean individual pursed up his lips
as if about to whistle, looked at the sky
again, shook his head slowly, and said
Tin not so blamed certain it isn't"
AT any rate, sir, it isn't raining now, is
it? Hey?"
Another careful examination of the
armament, and the cautious remark
ut may be raining and it may not. You
can't always tell about these things"
"Great Jehosaphat Can't you see there
isn't cloud in the sky !"
'Um-likely enough. Likely enough.
1t may appear that way to some folks. But
it's best not to be too sure"
-" May appear that way? Why. good
gracious, man! Haven't you got any
eyes,"
Maybe l have and maybe haven't, re-
torted the attenuated individual, passing
his hand over his face as if to find out.
" All that l know is that there is nothing
certain in this world You think there's a
Playground at the end of this street, per-
haps."
=" l certainly do"
Just so. was certain of it yesterday
myself. l was certain that there was
man out there with two or three walnut
shells he was moving about on the head of
barrel. l was certain l could tell which
shell the little black ball was under l was
just as certain of it as you are that it isn't
raining. 1t cost me every darned cent I
had to find out that didn't know any
thing about it. l am not going to be sure
of anything again as long as live"
He took a plug of tobacco from his
pocket, looked at it as if he were not sure
whether it was tobacco or not, put 1t back
in his pocket, sighed long, heavy, dismal
sigh, and looked straight through the other
man into the faroff depth of space.

The Msjor explained afterwards that he
didn't mean it as joke at all.
One of our local humorists is telling a
yarn that he swears is true-that it ac-
tually happened during the recent fair.
The race between Marigold and Daisy D..
had been rung up, and Moses Isaacstein
stood in the grand stand with his son
key, nervously watching the racers as they
prepared for the start.
Mine Colt, key, dey vas off, shouted
Moses, clutching his son by the shoulder
as the starters flag fell. "Glory be to
Abraham, MARRIOTT vas ahet Oh, key,
We vins-Msricolt vas ahet !"

start Moses watched them as they dashed
into the quarter stretch and became so ex-
cited that he could not contain himself.
"Oh, key, can't look at it, l vas so OK

scene and began TO mop bis brow with
huge bsndana, After several seconds had
elapsed Moses seized his son by the coat
tails and in a husky voice said, ''Ikey-

"Oh, Paba, MARRIOTT vas behint. Dey
vas near de halaf-mile bole."
Mine Gett unit Himmel u walled Moses

The racers dashed on around to the
three, quarter pole and poor Moses was
almost beside himself.
"Ikey-Ikey, my poy, we're ism MARRIOTT

HES behint, paba."
"Oh oh Dis vas too much. oh oh y
Moses dropped into one of the benches and
buried his face in his hands.
The flyers dashed into the home stretch
and the crowd began to yell. Moses was
trembling like leaf, and with tears in his
eyes he grssped his son again.
"Ikey-Ikey, my dear poy, we're ish Mari
colt2"
"Oh, psba, he vas behint yet"
Moses was just swooning away when the
horses dashed under the wire, and the
crowd was yelling itself hoarse.

his father vigorously. got upl Maricolt

"Vofs dot" Moses sprang up as though

glee for few minutes. Then, diving into
his vest pocket, he said

Senator Yell of Mendocino was in town
lately and talked of nothing bat the re-
cent gigantic Native Sons celebration at San
Francisco.
Il just tell you we Mendocino natives
went down there in style" said he warmly.
1--WE took Indians and bears with us and
everything else to create a sensation with.
But speaking of Indians, that reminds me
of little incident Among our band of
Indians was one big buck who was the
pride OF his tribe. He was smart chap,
but had one terrible weakness-drink. We
had special guard to watch our curiosl-
ties, and particular instructions were given
to keep an eye on this fellow and prevent
him from getting drunk.
But the big fellow YVES too smart for the
guard and made his escape the day before
the big parade. He wandered down to the
Barbary Coast aud into one Of the grog-
shops there Taking seat ct one of the
tables he ordered. Gimme big beer he
demanded, and the barkeeper supplied him
with an over-grown schooner. His high
ness swallowed the contents at one gulp.
Gimme 'nuther,' he said, and the same

by The arm, where's the money!
"Injun no money calmly replied his
tallness.
Wow. you long legged, yellow-eyed

for his police whistle. III have you ar

two became such fast friends that we
couldn't get the buck sober for three days"
