This spirit Of self-sacrifice does not
manifest itself alone in great and ex-
ceptional deeds Of heroism, but in daily
life. The Bulgarians testify that in the
last war the Russian soldiers who were
quartered in the captured towns were
like members of their own families, de-
voted to the children and ready to help
in all sorts of work. The Turks who
were prisoners in Russia testify to the
unvarying kindness and goodwill of
the peasants. General Skobeleff once
told me story of the war in Bulgaria
which illustrates this characteristic.
He overlook the Turkish refugees, fly
ing before him, between PhiIippopolis
and Adrianople. and in their flight the
women threw down their babes in the
road. Although pressing forward as
rapidly as possible, the Russian SOL
diers stopped to pick up these children,
and carried them tenderly in their
arms, until almost every soldier Of the
leading regiment was carrying a baby,
so that at last the general was forced
to stop and find carts and men to take
these children to place where they
would be cared for. 1t is wonder that
no great Russian artist has ever put
this strange picture upon canvas.
How far the educated classes in Rus
STA and the Slavs in other countries
partake of the character of the moujik
swer. The Russian gentleman whom
we meet in society seems to be very
much like every other European gentle
man-perhaps even more cosmopolitan.

a Texas Veteran Who Is Nearing His
111th Birthday.
One of the many remarkable citizens
of Texas Is Uncle Isaac Brock, of Nc
Lehman County. He will soon be Ill
years old, and takes great pride in say
ing, "If l live until 1901 l will have
lived in three centuries" He saw, in his
boyhood days, Washington and Light
Horse Harry Lee. He was Intimate in
later years with Davy Crockett and
Sam Houston. He was engaged in four
wars. He fought in the war of 1872,
and In the war between the Texas re-
public and Mexico; also in the war be-
tween the United States and Mexico.
In the late civil war he was gunner In
a battery at Galveston, and was under
fire of the United States gunboats. In
addition to having fought in the four
wars mentioned, he fought Indians on
the Texas frontier for six years, and
slew n in a hand-to-hand combat.

was a great hunter and fisherman In
his day. Recently he went to Waco to
