Rua.,.n Emotions In Siberia.

It would appear that Russia Is de-
termIned to run every profitable busl-
ness by the State. The Government
has a monopoly Of transportation. has
prc-empted the spirit industry. and may
Mt any time seize the tobacco trade.
The State regulates wages. grants or
refuses rights to work for precious and
base minerals and to obtain fuel; In
fact. leaves to the individual little
but the cultivation Of the soil and the
raising Of stock. The cry is. "Siberia
Is rich and Siberia Is for us Russians
alone" and the State answers, not In
words. but In deeds. siberia Is for the
Russians, and shall be rich by admin
istrative order" The pioneer finds
gold or strikes oil. then the pioneer Is
ousted and his field Of operations re-
served exclusively for exploitation by
the State, when and as the State may
deem It expedlent to act. No one
questions the right: many criticise the
policy.-The Outlook.

The Habits OF the Robin.

Let US hide behind that clump OF
blackberry bushes and watch the par
ent birds as they come to feed their
young. There comes the father robin
now; you can distinguish him from the
mother by his darker plumage. You
will notice that in coming with the food
he alights on a particular twig. hops
along a particular branch and alights
on a particular side Of the nest. II you
watched him for q week you would
probably see him approach the nest In
precisely the same way each time.
Now here comes the mother-a lighter
colored bird. with gray on the back Of
her head. You see that she reaches the
nest by quite a different route. and
alights upon the other side Of 1t. and
she will do this over and over and over
again. Like men and women. birds
acquire habits which they rigidly ad.
here to. unless something happens to
prevent them.-Ernest Harold Baynes.
In the Woman's Home Companion.

MURDERERS GARROTTED
Four Porto Ricans Put to Death After
Long Legal Fight
Public Sentiment Strongly Against the Ea-
ecusIons-Soidiers Built the Plat.
form ON which the Men Died.

San Juan. Porto Rico.-The four mur.
derers. Bernabe Acevedo. Jose Torres,
Ramon Cadeno and Juan Torres. who
were convicted OF murder, robbery and
outrage committed four years ago In
suburb Of Adjuntas. have been gar.
roted In the Ponce jail. Only about
thirty Official witnesses were present.
A convict murderer acted as execution.
er, as no other person could be obtained
to perform the duty. At the garroting
OF murderers last year this same con.
yict acted as executioner. for which
service his term of imprisonment was
,commuted. He will now be set at lib
erty. and will receive 500 for his work.
The garroting Of these murderers had
been set for May 81. and was to have
been carried out secretly. 1t had to be
postponed on account Of the tremen-
dous sentiment against capital punish.
ment. No workman could be found
who would build the platform. and no
one would sell nails or timber to be
used In It's construction. 1t was finally
constructed by soldiers.
The four condemned men occupied
the corners of the rude platform. They
were brought out separately and
screens were arranged so that none or
the murderers saw the garroting or
the others. In each case death was
practically instantaneous. The men
were pronounced dead as soon as the
doctors examined them.
Notwithstanding the fact that all the
men admitted their guilt OF terrible
bandit murder and assault on women.
In the last moments prominent citizens
appealed to the Governor and Supreme
Court to suspend sentence. From 8
o'clock until II the court listened to ar
guments as to the unc0nstitutionality
Of Furnishing criminals without indict..
ment by the Grand Jury. The point
was finally overruled.
Originally FIVE men were convicted OF
these crimes. The Governor. however.
commuted the sentence Of one TO I'm.
prisonment for life.
The men were first convicted in June.
1900. and the case was fought through
all the courts. Then the press OF Porto
Rico started q campaign to have the
Governor pardon the men. He re-
ferred the cases TO the Attorney-Gen.
eral. who affirmed the convictions.
