The woman in far-off Germany, know
ing nothing of farming, but certain
that she would need to be something
more than a clog to her husband who
was to be, took service on a German
farm, where she learned dairying,
poultry raising and all the intricacies
of agricultural life. Also she saved
money, and a few weeks ago, receiv-
ing a letter from her Jacob, for whom
she had toiled ten years, the woman
sailed for the United States in the
Darmstadt.
On landing she did not have much
money with her, she was alone. and 1t
was necessary that she be brought be-
fore the board of special inquiry 1t the
Baltimore custom house.

That the fiance ought to be happy,
too, in having such a loyal sweetheart,
who had tOiled longer for her modern
Jacob than Jacob of old toiled for
Laban's daughter, was the unanimous
verdict of the board, which sent her
on her way rejoicing.

for themselves the condition of the
inhabitants of the districts where
famine may be said TO be chronic;
especially the governments of Kasan,
Simbirsk and Samar. They received
the utmost assistance from the
''popes," as the Russian clergy are
called.
What they found may be gathered
from their description of a once we'll
to-do village, which serves as a type
of all:
On approaching the village we saw
a few horses worn to skeletons, one
or two oxen whose bones, where
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
announces us-the dogs are all dead.
No pigs in the street. No sign or
sound of children-the cruel winter
and hunger have laid them in an
early sleep of death. Nothing to be-
tray the presence of human beings.
-. We enter one of the cottages.
1t is low, of no particular shape; the
thatch is wanting in several places,
the woodwork which supported it
being gradually used up for firewood.
We're we not accustomed to the
spectacle we should doubt whether it
could serve as a dwelling for human
beings, utterly unprotected as it is
against rain and cold. Reclining on
one shelf in the one room are the
father and his son, on the other
shelf lie the mans wife and an ell
derly woman huddled close together.
Which of the two women is the wife
and which her mother we cannot dis
tinguish from their aged, wrinkled,
emaciated faces distorted with
scurvy. The peasant says: ''We lie
here and die; no one comes near US. D"
Don't they come with bread for you
from the Red Cross bakery" l ask.
"For three days past there has been
no bread" is the reply.
"Why not?"
Because they have no -four. The
police captain has the key of the
flour stores, and he is away"
"How is it with regard to seed
eorn?"
"Seed corn is distributed, but we
have received none"
''Why not?"
''The elder of our village says there
Is seed corn for US, but he does not
know where it is, and he has sought
for it everywhere"
Such is the story repeated IT every
farmhouse in every village. The Red
Cross society is helpless in the face
of such vast distress. II is equipped
to provide bread for, say, 40 people,
and finds 400 looking to it to keep
them alive. The government corn
that is to be distributed rarely finds
its way to the most deserving cases'

big Reptile at Central Park, New

Captive Companion.

The largest Of the three Rythons in
the Central park menagerie at New
York felt hungry early the other
morning. Uncoiling itself from
around the top of the tree trunk in
it's cage in the monkey-house, it
crawled over toward the tank of wa
ter, where three young alligators
were lying asleep, and swallowed the
largest one, which measured two feet

feet long. The swallowing process is
supposed to have taken about an
hour.

STARVING TO DEATH.
Frightful Conditions in the Famine
Districts CT Russia.
Peasants Have Neither Fodder far
Their Cows and Horses Nor
Bread for Their Children
Death Is "A blessing,

Forty million people in Russia are
facing a famine the horrors of which
can scarcely be conceived by those
who are not familiar with the life
OF the common people of the czar's
empire. The golodovska-the little
hunger-of many provinces has be-
come merged III a golod-a great
hunger-embracing a region of 50O,-
600 square miles. In all that part Of
Russia from the Volga to and beyond
the Urals and in the north and west
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 and caused it to wither and
be destroyed or to be small in size,
nutrition and yield. AS a result, Rus
sia is facing the most terrible win
ter in its history and the govern
ment is preparing to take steps to-
ward feeding the people. How in
sufficient these steps will be can only
be judged by history of past fam
ines.
Last year the farmers had a little
store of seed corn, but this year
they have absolutely nothing. The
reports frequently conclude with the
words: "The famine committees
must use every effort to obtain the
necessary corn and -four, as Tell as
fodder for the domestic animals"
What these few lines imply can be
gathered from book by DIR. C. Leh-
man and "Parvus," published at
Stuttgart by Dietz. The former is a
Munich physician. "Parvus" is a Rus
sian who has been studying political
economy at Swiss universities.
The two friends visited Russia in
May, 1899, with the object of seeing

Hobart, says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
She lives with her aged father and
mother.
1t came to pass in the course Of
events and occurrences on the reser-
gation this summer that Paul Eagle
and Jack Bear Robe fell in love with
this woman. Heretofore they had
been the best of friends. Young
Eagle is an Indian policeman, or was
before his death. She induced him to
cast aside his star and have nothing
more to do with the white people. He
followed her everywhere. He and
Bear Rob came to be enemies of the
worst kind. Hence it was no surprise
when Eagle challenged his former
friend to gamble at monte for the
gri.
Miss Bed Buffalo was chosen by
both as dealer, and the game was
drawing card for all the members of
che tribe. 4 few white people ven-
tured on the gambling ground, but
they were assured that their pres
ence was not needed. The game last
ed three days. during which time
neither could beat the other so badly
ct the game as TO win favor in the
ewes of the dealer. She would with
hold her decision when one player
nearly "broke" her former friend,
and the same way when the other
succeeded in winning nearly out.
Then, cross from loss of sleep, the
young men agreed TO shoot it out.
To this the girl assented cheerfully.
Rifles were chosen, and the young
men stepped back 80 PAGES. At the
word fire, given oy the woman, two
shots rang out on the night air.
Eagle fell, pierced by the assassin's
bullet. Bear Robe was arrested and
is now in Jail at Fort Sill 1t was not
before the young woman for whom
ne fought had married him in the
most approved Apache fashion. She
says she will spend her fortune in
having him cleared if possible.

It is well-established principle that
1t is much easier to ward off an attack

to destroy them after they are once in

orchard culture have long been recog-
