and traverSing q mountainous region
which long baffied every attempt of en-
gineers to lay the steel lines which
-ould complete the system to the coast
BY building the line Russia has made
itself the dominating power in all af-
fairs Of the far east. The railway is
primarily a military work, and second
arily a means of settlement and ad-
vance of trade For travellers 1t means
that trip around the world can now
be made in 40 days.
Near the Pacific coast the road di-
Arthur, the famous stronghold
wrenched from China, and the other
extends to the more nOrtherly port of
Vladivostock, the San Francisco of the
far east. From both there are steamers
running to Japan, 400 miles across the
Sea of Japan, and to Shanghai and Hong
Kong down the coast, and the traveller
is in the heart of the Orient 20 days
out from London, and Ia q days from
New York he is more than half way
around the world.
A Straight Track Eighty Miles.
One striking feature of the Siberian
railway is the almost straight line 1t
follows across Russia and Siberia. On
the journey eastward from Moscow,
the train frequently travels for an hour
on a perfectly straight roadbed. A can
non ball fired from between the rails
would fall between them a dozen miles
away. If the aim were true and the
trajectory faulfless. There Is positively
one stretch where the line Is as straight
as plumb-line for nearly so miles. The
landscape Is dull and monotonous over
nearly the whole route, the train run
ming for hours at a time through a re-
giOn one part of which can hardly be
distinguished from another. There are
many stations. far too many for the ac-
commodation of the travelling public
merely, but their Importance in times
Of war is readily apparent. Another
feature which demonstrates that the
advance of commercial interests in a
fN"NSi VI uduntI was hot thC ohiy w
Ject of the railway lis the fact that the
rails are set on a different gauge than
are those Of the European countries.
The Russian fixed on a width of track
all his own, reasoning that in case of
war other nations could not rush train
loads of soldiers into her territory nor
ship in supplies for advancing armies.
The annoying delays to commerce ne
cessitating trans-shipment amounted
10 little in the eyes Of a despotic gov
eminent as compared to the increased
advantages of national defense.
In crossing Siberia. the government
did not. as do American railway pro-
moters, attempt to touch the large
cities. The most important city in 81
IBERIA, Tomsk, is left 40 miles off the
Iine Nearly every town along the en-
IRE line lies from one to three miles
pack from the road. By running this
way the railway officials did not have
TO condemn or purchase any private
property, but kept on unoccupied gov
eminent land. The officials reasoned
mat the towns would grow to the rail-
roads and this they are doing.

There are two things essential to
success in advertising. The first is
common sense, and the second Is nerve.
Perhaps in most cases nerve is a part
of common sense, so that l might say
there is only one thing necessary.
Nerve in advertising implies the pos

NEXT MAYOR AND GAMBLING
Prelude to Rev. G. L. Morrills Ser
mon Last Evening.


mon Last Evening.
Rev. G.. L. Morrill,, pastor of the Chicago
Avenue Baptist church, last evening in
prelude to his, sermon discussed Cam
bling and the Next Mayor of Minneapolis. !"
He introduced the subject by an allusion
to election betting for hats and boxes of
candy by church members often-a hit at
the church fair grabbing and warning
against playing for keeps" by small boys
and dice shaking for cigars and drinks
by older persons. These he said were the
beginnings of gambling; they led to the
kind of gambling that gratifed the demand
for more excitement and often to ruin and
the state prison.
Mr.. Morrill, then told what he had seen
in several local resorts. In one place
called straight" he said he had seen
young boys and poor laboring men gam
bling with money probably begged, Dor
rowed or stolen, or withheld from needy
families. In certain Turf Exchange
he had seen white and black men gam
bling. In CLUB" he said he had seen
professional men playing so-called square
games; but they were gambling con
trary to law and to the principles of mu-
tual benefit which underlie Legitimate
transactions" The dangers of all Of these
forms of gambling Mf.. Morrill, pointed
out. He then stated that there were
three remedies:
Christianity in the home and in the church
Education in the public schools.
A ballot at the polls against machine poll
ticcs, empty promises and hypocrital cant.
The next mayor of Minneapolis, he said,
should enforce the statutes and ordinances
against gambling and suppress the vice OF
public gambling.

wife dragged him around the house by the
hair OF his head. It seems to me that it

to me for advice. and she belonged to good
society, too. She had borne nine children,
six of whom were dead, and her husband
had been beating her for years. In proof Of
her declaration She showed many marks and
scars. told her that, for a woman Of her
disposition, there was nothing for her to do
but to bear It for twenty more years If she
could. II suppose you think that i was cruel,

New York, April Elbow long should a
wife submit to beating, before she leaves her
husband? This is The question seriously de-
bated at a recent weman's conference OF the
In His Name society at All Souls church.
Mrs Louis Houghton created sensation
nv saving a wife should submit to being
beaten rather than leave her husband to be
at the. mercy of bad influences. She said that
she had known, in the lower walks OF life,
of husbands who had beaten and ill-tfeated
their wives, and that, after all, they had
come around all right whereas, If the wives
had left their lords and masters, the men
men might have gone irretrievably to the bad.
What wish to ask, said Mrs. Arthur
Smith, SIS, how long should wife submit
to beating before she leaves her hueband?' Z
