SIBERIAN TERRORS.
Where Criminals Move ON Like the
Wandering jew, But Always
Further East.

In Siberia murder is rarely punished
by death; the criminal is only sent
farther east. If the crime is repeated
he is passed on to distant and more
Indictment zone. Some convicts at the
Lena mines were credited with being
murderers to the fifth degree. The
nurse of my mOtherless boy was an ex
lie who had killed her husband. One
lost the sharp sense of antipathy to the
criminal so instructive in the west.
Robbery accompanied with murder is
common enough. | saw four crosses
on the road just as l entered Irlkutsk,
one of which marked the spot where
ten people had been murdered in open
daylight. At night robbers wrap them
selves in white calico, and, invisible in
the snow, cut the luggage from behind
the sleighs. Near the mines a consider.
able trade in Illicit spirits is carried on
by the spirit nocu, as the smugglers
are called. These buy contraband
vodki at WITHIN and carry it into the
mining districts, where they make a
fabulous profit in exchange for stolen
gold. They travel along obscure foot
paths which cross the main road at
well-known points.
These are VIGOROUSLY dangerous
spots, from the murders that take place
near them. Travellers gallop swiftly by,
peering anxiously around. Shafts of
old disused mines hold CHASTITY secrets.

corpses lay in some of these, and that
the company is afraid to reopen them
for fear of the scandals that would
arise. Returning home one midnight

light in a dell, to find two mounted

of man who had been murdered few
minutes before. Men are slain for a
pair of boots or even passport.

A Startling Answer.

A Latin professor was explaining the der,
ivation of our word ''ostracise" to his class
in local academy the other day. He told
the story of the early Roman republics and
the scheming of the politicians of the
times. He related how, when any man in
the republic became obnoxious to his Neigh
bors, they used to write his name on an
oyster she'll (Latin-ostreum, SHELF, and on
the receipt of specified number by the
consuls that man was banished, killed or
otherwise removed in some one of those
pleasant ways the old Romans had. When
he had finished his explanation he said
Now, the boy here in the front seat,
what did we derive from the old Latin use
of the shell, which was called ostreum?"
The answer he expected was far from
what he got, for the little student with
spectacles in the front seat arose and de-
livcred himself thus
From the Roman habit of using shells
to get the best of people we derive the
present Coney Island shell game, which is

BIGGEST GAME CLUB.
Canadian SpOrtsmen Have OrEan-
lied to "Preserve" 10000 Square
Miles Of Territory.

Sportsmen's clubs have become COM
mon enough with rich men who delight
in bagging game, and many of them
have been organized upon grand
scale, but all become insignificant be-
side the proposed st. John club, which
will preserve 10000 square miles of
Canadian territory.
Of course, this will have to be fenced
in, and the cost of this fence will be
$1.250,O00, which gives an idea of the
magnitude of the undertaking.
The organizers of this club and most
of the members are Americans, al
though there will be few prominent
Canadians and Englishmen. The men,
bership will number many thousands,
which is possible because of the re-
sources of the great territory. The
initiation fee has been placed at $500,
although this will likely be increased.
Already more than $4O,Oo0'has been
expended in securing the fishing waters
of Lake st. John and tributaries. All
the rivers flowing in from the north
and west, some of which are 200 and
200 miles long, and all the waters cou-
nected with them, are included.
Arrangements are also being made
with the Quebec government for Sc
curing two immense tracts for game
parks, each having 1000 square miles
They will be fenced in with wire net
ting. In addition to moose, deer, ell;
and caribou, it is proposed to stock
these parks with the best species Of
foreign game and birds from localities
having similar climatic conditions.-N
