Forty million people in Russia are

can scarcely be conceived by those
who are not familiar with the life

death from starvation has come upon
the farm and village people.
In the present case even the pota-
toes have been burned up by the ter
rible heat which prevailed during six
weeks or more Of this summer. The
chief crops of the nation are wheat
and rye. This year the heat and
drought prevented the maturing of
the grain aud caused it to wither and
be destroyed or to be small in size.

sufficient these steps will be can only
be judged by history of past fam

they have absolutely nothing The

But Jefferson and Madison aye buried

lightly be ignored. But how can This
be possible with our great men in

would involve certain danger which
our pious and patriotic contemporary

To whom, or to what body, for in
stance, would it intrust with the de-
cision of claims to interment in the
National Valhalla? The opportunity
for unseemly controversies, and still
more unseemly selections, would be
very great. 1t is well, occasionally,
to visit the resting places of the noble
dead, but perhaps isolation adds to
the impressiveness of such resting
places, and the emotions which one
of them excites in the sensitive mind
would hardly be proportionately in
creased by a dozen or hundred in a
single group. The truly great are not
forgotten, wherever they may lie, and
the establishment of an American
Westminster abbey would not neces-
sarily or altogether be an improve
ment upon the simplicity Of our own
system.

On approaching The village we saw

they pierced the taut skin, were
covered with fostering sores They
had lain too long on the stable floor,
not having strength to get up. The
village itself seems wrapped in the
arms of death No barking of dogs

No pigs in the street. No sign or

1t is low, Of no particular shape; the
thatch is wanting in several places,

spectacle we should doubt whether it
could serve as dwelling for human
beings, utterly unprotected as il is

father and his son, on the other
shelf lie the mans wife and an ell

A TANTALIzINd PROSPECT

The conditions of the grain
market, corn being above 40 cents
at Chicago and oats at 30, with n
stiff price for wheat and the minor
grains, cause revolutionary
thoughts in the mind of every pro
gressive Colorado man. 1t is pos
itively tantalizing to look out from
any upper window of one of our
tall city buildings and see thou
sands of acres lying idle, unfenced
and unplowed, which would pro
duce carloads of these valuable
grains, under proper conditions,
Then the eye glances up at the
fiocks of clouds moving about
each of them carrying tons of
water away to some country which
is already well supplied with
water,
Then the glance wanders to the
poor little Arkansas river, and the
imagination goes away down to
the strata of clays and rocks more
than thousand feet below the
dull brown surface of the plains
The river is not carrying one tenth
of the water that is escaping from
the mountains or being pumped
from the mines or is flowing from
tunnels and canons A vast body
of water is flowing eastward all the
year round, probably spread under
most of the territory all the way
from Pixies Peak to the Spanish
peaks. 1t may be collected in
channels here and there, but there
is certainly an enormous amount
of it. Lucky or skillful searchers
may some day intercept its flow at
the foothills and bring it out upon
the plains; or people drilling for
oil may tap deep geysers of water
that will come boiling to the sur
face and be of more value than the
oil they hope for.
Certainly great wealth awaits
the ingenious discoverer who can
bring the land ana the water to-
gether. This matter is touched
upon in the press from time to
time, purposely, in hope of keep
ing it before the people and pos
sibly attracting the notice of that
genius for whose advent the arid
prairie is SO long and patiently
waiting. 1t is waiting with gold
en- rewards and will make him rich
when he ecomes Pueblo Chieftain.

SLANG FROM THE BENCH.
An7AustraIian Jurist Is Betrayed In- t,o the Use of Prize Ring
 Expression.

Even jurists are not exempt from the prevailing custom of using slang in expressing their sentiments. Quite recently Sir John Madden, the chief justice and lieutenant governor of Vic toria, New South Wales, angry at the absence of all the barristers in libel case that was down for hearing, char acterized the proceeding as ''fake.' This is piece of pugilistic slang and is understood to mean a ake-believe fight, both boxers having, previously agreed as to the final issue. Next morn ing the three leading barristers con cerned appeared in court, explained their absence and indignantly repudi- ated any idea of flake" The chief justice then apologized. expressing his regret that he had permitted himself to use such a word, and adding that the bar would understand how such ex- pressions sometimes slipped out with out due regard to the surrounding cir cumstances. A bland assurance of his belief that the parties in the case were animated by the fullest litigant ami mostly raised laugh and agreeably closed the incident.
