Under these conditions, the presi.

This department has directed the
Immediate distribution of rations to
the sufferers by the army in Porto

A FAIR DEMONSTRATION.
They Were satisfied the Thing Could
BE Done. hut by Some
One Else.

Mark Twain and his friend, Rev. Joseph
III. Iwltcneil, once planned a bicycle ride
from Hartford, Conn. (their home), to
Boston, and wrote beforehand to an ac.
qualntance IN the latter city, telling him
their line OF route and what time he might
expect to see them arrive. The appointed
time was an ideal one for a long run, and
the two friends started quite early in the
morning. But neither of them was accus-
toned to long rides, so after u or IL miles
had been ridden, it became apparent that
each OF the riders was waiting for the 9TH
er to say something. Finally Twain said, az
they came in sight OF the railway station in
small town they had entered: Lets take
the train the rest of the way"
OF course Mr.. Twitchel agreed, and so
the acquaintance in Boston was surprised
by seeing the two friends walk up to his
door about one O'Clock in the afternoon. He
had not expected them till evening. but he
greeted them warmly, and addressing Mr..
Iwltchel, said: well, you made pretty
good time, didn't you?"
,"Oh, fairly good time for novices." was
the reply.
What time did you leave HARTFORD" he
asked OF Mr.. Clemens.
About seven a. m
What, YOU don't mean to say that YOU
have ridden all the way from Hartford to
Boston on your hicycles!"
NO. replied Mark Twain, "but we rode
far enough to demonstrate that it could be
done. Detroit Free Press.

Russia is a very large country,
and, with Siberia's immense area
included, the size of the United
States suffers in comparison with
her. One of her newspapers has
vaunted the proposed transporting
of whole town more than 40 miles
along a frozen rivera heretofore
unknown feat, it claims-the object
of the removal being to place the
town among some hills that lend
themselves admirably to the pur-
pose of Notifications, thus securing
a valuable military station. 1t will
undoubtedly be quite a feat to ac-
complish such a task, and if the
Russian engineers find any hitch In
their plans they can surmount the
difficulties by reference to a similar
undertaking successfully accom-
plished in the state of Illinois
namely, the moving of the town of
Nauvoo over a frozen river. Ir the
course of three winters this was
done, and 700 houses were trans
ported, and new town, now pros
porous place, was established. The
Russian newspapers can boast of the
great work of moving one of their
towns, but it is a pleasure to know
that the United States long ago an
ticipated them in such matters
