Life in Old
siberia

People usually think OF Siberia as
land of ice, snow. freezing weather.
wolves and convicts. There Is another
and brighter Siberia. Winter springs
into summer. and during six weeks
birds sing. hills and valleys are car
peted with wild flowers, the grasses
grow lush and nature rejoices- One
sunny day In June a Russian baby
girl Of three stood in doorway in the
careless grace OF infancy and was
caught by the camera. Civilization
could hardly furnish a daintier pic
ture OF innocent childhood than this
Siberian fairy. And she is as sweet
as she looks. Born In Foochow. Chi
na. of Russian parents, she talks
pidgen English. Before ] Fcochow l

she wished to convey. Are there
schooiboys In Siberia? OF course there
are.
The cabdrivers OF Siberian cities like
vladiyostock, Khabarovsk, Blagovest-
chensk. and Irkutsk are often stylish
ly dressed. and always active and ag
gressiye. They exchange compliments
in impolite language. and. finally. II
one or tive quarrels spit over his left
shoulder there Is a fight. To spit thus
is to show the most profound contempt
for your adversary. vlsdivostock
driver wears green velvet petticoat
and waist. the sleeves OF the latter
made of red wool. dotted with blue
and yellow. A dingy red silk sash
circles his expansive waist, and Is
knotted on one side. He has the high
and crumpling boots peculiar to the
Russians, and a weather-beaten black
velvet cap. His skirt imparts a fem
irine aspect to his personality. The
illusion is dispeiled when one sees
hfs coppery face and sta beard. and
hnars his remarks to obstrnctsng
pedestrians.

From San Francisco comes story
Of horse that saved It's life by holding
to q rope with Its teeth. At the time
OF the incident the horse was being led
across q gAng-plank to boat The
footing whistle of tug caused the
horse to shy into the water. There
was no place for tho unfortunate crea-
ture to get out. and 1t looked as II II
would have to drown. As last resort
man threw a coil Of rope out to the
horse. The line no sooner struck the
water than tho Intelligent animal
se.sed 1t between the teeth and held
on. In this way Its head was kept
above water until boat came. a haw-
ser was fastened around the horses
neck and the creature was towed
ashore. The horso was valued at
81 900, and after its unexpected plunge
was loaded aboard ship and went to
