POVERTY THAT LACKS THE CENTS TO

Oh. that other half of the world. II
you have never experienced it how can
you tell how it lives' There is one in
cident told by a pale-faced tenement
house resident. She has seen prosper
Gus days, but now has, or had, only a
sick husband and four little children.
"One ne IDS so many things" she
sighed plaintively. "One day last week
| was out of coal and | sent out for a
bushel, but | only mad eight cents; the
coal was nine. The coal man said he
would wait until could pay the rest.
Then my husband wanted sour
drink, He had burning fever, poor
fellow, and wanted lemon so BAD
she stopped her flying needle just long
enough to wipe away tear there
were other mouths to be fed-"but
didn't have the two cents to buy the
lemon and-and-I couldn't get it."
Then she broke entirely down and
sobbed aloud with her apron over her
face. "Ob, it seems as if l wouldn't
have felt half SO bad when saw his
dear, dead face in the coffin yesterday
if | hadn't thought how he wanted that
drink and could not get it l wake
up in the night and think Of it until it
seems as if it will dive me wildW
Then she choked back the sobs and
hurried on with her work. The WON
ans earnings by making pants at IS
cents per dozen grow smaller with
every moment taken for tears.
But can you imagine it' A shortage
of three cents to buy necessares of

The Germans in Russia.
BY REV. GEORGE F. BEHRINGER.


The appeal for the relief of the
famine stricken German Lutherans in
Russia awakens a desire to know
something of their origin and history.
In the year 1862, Empress Cathar-
inc III of Russia issued an imperial
edict, inviting colonists to settle on
the banks Of the Volga river, in the
far eastern portion of her European
domains. A double motive inspired
the proclamation, viz: that these
settlements should form a bulwark
against the marauding invasions of
Mongolian tribes and that the Ger
man colonies should serve as an edu-
eating example to the native inhabi-
tants.
Accordingly, towards the close of
the last century, about $4,000 Ger
mans settled on government lands,
along the right bank Of the Volga, in
the provinces of Saratov and Samara.
At first they received government
support and endured a severe struggle
for existence. But soon, by thrift and
industry, they reached a condition of
self-support. About the year 1890 all
debts to the government had been
paid, and thenceforward the colonists
enjoyed uninterrupted prosperity for
half a century.
The Ieriod from IS4o to 1870
marked their highest development.
More t':an 200 farming villages and
agricultural towns, populated by 800,
900 prosperous German colonists,
gave evidence of civilization super
ior to that OF the reighboring tribes.
The success of these Volga colonies
was owing, under God, to the follow
ing reasons: the influence of chur ch
and school the industry of the colon
lists the fertility of the soil and the
special privileges Of local self-govern-
ment. The governing officials and
their language were German. In the
beginning no military service was re-
CURED. But when the Russian serfs
were freed, the German officers were
removed, and both serfs and colonists
were placed under the Government
officials, and military service was
exacted.
The first serious blow to the pros
perity of the Volga colonies were the
famine years of 1879 and 1880 which
mark the beginning of their decline
Since then there have been four sea
sons of partial failure and three o
total failure of all crops. During
these seven years not enough of grail
was saved, even for seed. The miser,
of the famine Is universal and indies
crlbable.
This entire region, at one time
granary for millions, has become
desolate waste. Every foot OF tn
land is mortgaged beyond redemption
The local funds Of corporation
have been exhausted; and no none
can be borrowed, for even the nativ
money-lenders have been reduced t
penury. The mills are standing idle
since there is no grain to grind. A

Tie Gamey Tr,ut
WHERE THE LARGEST ARE FOUND,

The trout season opens on Friday
April IS, In every county in the State
exc, pting Pike county, where tie sea-
son opens Oh May !, and will last until
August +, No doubt there will b, an
exo1lj from this town on the morning
Of tn, fifteenth and the preceding
day. The prospects for big catches
this year are very bright Mr.. Al
Drinker Of Scranton said recently.
"Every indication points to a good
trout season and especially during the
fifteen days of April. The winter has
been open and the streams have been
high, consequently the trout have been
well fed and some big fat ones viii un-
doubtedly be landed. During recent
years the Fish Commissioners have
stocked the State streams and the FISH
are we'll developed by this time, so a
great plenty of them can be anticipat-
ed"
WHERE TO FISH.
For man who wants to spend a
day or a week fishing, Proctor Inn at
Jameson City, and J w. Perry's at
Elk Grove. offord ample accommoda-
tions, The Central Park Hotel at
Central, Exchange Hotel and Nc
Henrys Hotel at Benton are also
favorite resorts for fisherman. Persons
who want to spend time at it will
find scores of available spots of
easy access from here The
head waters Of Fishingcreek is one of
the best trout districts in the State.
POINTERS FOR BEGINNERS.
| he best bait to be used in the
early season is the red angle worm or
an artificial worm made by mixing to
gether oil, flour and long fibered cot
ton until it forms a kind of paste.
With this plastic substance bait in the
shape OF the worm can be easily
moulded. The latter bait is preferable
for deep water fishing when sinker is
used. Artificial rubber minnows or
the real article if they can be Sc
cured are also a good bait for early
angling. Fly fishing can be properly
pursued after May 1. but earlier than
that the worm is the best bait.
Ofrcds, there are many varieties
ranging in price as high as $45. A
cheap and durable rod which is a
general favorite is the cork handled,
split bamboo rod found at all houses
selling sporting goods. There are
scores of hooks and hundreds of flies
to select from, while in lines, baskets,
bait boxes, wading bieeches and last
but by no means least, bait bottles,
there are also numerous varieties all OF
which are kept in stock at Schuyler's in
Bloomsbury, Bittenbender's in Benton
One of the new things in reels
IS one made of Aluminium, which is
capable Of carrying 5000 feet of line
md yet weighs but two ounces
Another excellent thing is "Lolloca-
pop" kind of soap which if rubbed
on the face and hands, keeps off
mosquitoes and other iasects.

A LION HUNT.

Graphic Description of an Excit-
ing Adventure in Somaiiland.
Capt. Swayne, r. E., in letter to P
c. Sclater, secretary to the Geological
society, and published in the Field,
gives the following graphic description
of lion hunt in Somaliland:
"Last June, when on shooting eX-
cursion in North Somailand, my broth
er, Lieutenant E. Swayne, and L and
two gun-bearers found two lions and a
ionesS in the open, ten miles from any
bush, in short green grass. The two
lions walked away slowly, looking over
their shoulders at us; but the liOness
crouched, and would not let us pass her.
My brother shot at her, but fired too
high, and wounded her In the withers.
making her spin round like a top
in cloud of dust, so that /
could see nothing to fire at. My brother
and l were sixty yards apart, and the
lionesS sixty yards from both of US, the
three forming triangle. Suddenly out
of the dust came an apparition of a
charging lioneSS, ventre terre, coming
straight at me. | fired both barrels, re-
serving the second till she was only five
yards away, and l still had the rifle at
my shoulder when she struck me, seEd-
ing me over and over. and with such
speed that l altogether lost conscious
ness.
Both of my bullets (.570 had passed
through her foot. The two gun-bearers
had bolted. and we were so mixed up
that my brother could not fire from
where he was. so he ran up close to me
and shot the lioness in the chest as she
sprang at him, killing her instantly.
You will see. therefore, that it was a
very narrow escape, as l was uncOn-
scious, and the lioness had already
given me six fang-wounds in my right
shoulder. 1t was twelve days before L
could get medical assistance, but luck
lily my brother was with me, and
nothing had come of it. MY brother,
seeing [ was all right, mounted pony
which he borrowed from native, and
followed up and shot one of the large
lions. The third escaped. as the Somalis
were shocked at the maulng l had re-
celved, and would not follow. The
larger lion charged my brothers pony
for over sixty yards, after having been
shot through the heart. We cut its
heart out. and found the hole made by
the bullet through it."
