8be Miserable Railway Acccnr N odHtiOnR
for the Poor.
It is wonderful how much travel is
done By the poor class in Russia The
third-class cars are always full. They
are. according to the Cleveland Leader,
more like cattle sars than anything
else. There are 90 cushions on the
seats, and the people are crowded in FL
all sorts Of nays. They are notsupposed
TO have Sny rights that the railroad
officials are bound to respect, aud saw
one man knocked down and showed
back into the station just as the car
was about TO start because he did not
have his ticket in his hand he told
the guard that the party of peasants
with whom he was travelling had the
ticket and they had already gotten on
the cars, but this did him no good. and
though he cried and howled he was
held back while the car bore his friends
and his family away. The peasant can
not travel in Russia without a pass
port. ! have not had to show my pass
port at the railroad depots except when
J came into Russia, but the peasant
dare not go from one part of Russia to
the other without permission Of the
local government under which he
lives, and he Is asked to show his pass
port at the ticket Office.
At Tamboff | saw whole crowd of
peasants who were about to emigrate to
another province. Each had mis- pass
port in his hand and they stood in single
file waiting their turns TO buy their
tickets, 1t was at this same station
that ! saw my FIRST prison car. Russian
roads have ears especially devoted to
the carrying Of prisoners, and the pris-
oners which are taken from here to ST.
IBERIA go by rail to Mini Novgorod,
whence they are put on prison boats
ana are carried down the Volga and ND
the river Kama to Perm and thence
start on their march to the wilds of ST.
IBERIA. These cars had iron bars and
windows, and they are guarded bv sol
diers who are ready to shoot any who
try to escape. The ears themselves are
third-class ones, and TIE prisoners sit on
hard boards rather than cushions.

KEPT BUSY.
Tweaty-Four Bricks Entirely Abradod by
Hands of Baby Convict.


Hands of Baby Convict.
Capt Powell, in his description of life
in southern Convict Camp" tells one
story which bears sad testimony to the
imperfection of human law, even in tho
nineteenth century and in the United
States. The story concerns negro
named Cy Williams, who was entered
upon the books of the convict camp.
When q mere pickaninny, running
about in the one garment that forms
the costume of all negro youngsters in
the south, he was arrested for stealing
a horse. He was not large enough to
mount the animal, and was caught in
the act Of leading it off by the halter,
for which he was duly-the word
should be unduly-sentenced to twenty
gears imprisonment.
Warden Martin was puzzled 10 know
what to DO with so small convict, but
finally invented task that certainly
reflects credit upon his ingenuity He
placed two bricks at each end of the
prison yard, and giving the black baby
two more, ordered him to carry them to
one of the piles, lay them down, pick
up the other two, which in turn were
to be carried TO the farther end, ex-
changed again, and 50 on back and
forth all day long, always carrying two
bricks.
He was warned that he would be
whipped if he failed to pile the bricks
neatly or broke any of them. He grew
up at the task, and the constant abra-
sion Of merely picking up and laying
down wore out four sets Of bricks be-
fore he was put to other labor.

4 Dogs ssnse of Military Honor.

A resident of West Chester, Pa, Is au-
thority for the following dog story"
as it was recited to him by soldier:
Troop Of the Sixth cavalry owned a
dog which accompanied it on every
trip. At the battle of Wounded Knee
some time ago the animal was aban-
doned and was found in a snow drift
by a sergeant of troop, who took it
away and cared for it. The animal
could not be persuaded to return to its
former owners and remained with the
sergeant One day the sergeant was
reduced TO the ranks for some breach Of
discipline. From that day forth the
dog would have nothing whatever to
40 with him and took up its quarters
in another tent. 1t could never again

it was a toss-up with me whether to go
on and finish the expedition or to take
