RUSSIANS SUFFERING GREATLY.

what Was the Grain Belt OF the
Steppes Now n Region OF st"rNa-
ton and Illness.
ST. Petersburg. April 20.-The reports
received here from the famine stricken
districts of Russia more than justifying
the authorizations of acute suffering In
those localities. Scurvy and typhoid
fever are devastating the peasantry
throughout the whole of the Altai high
lands of Siberia region, formerly the
chief granary of siberia. The starving
people there have consumed even the
last remnants of their seed grain ana
no spring crops have beer sown. In
some places the scarcity of fodder Is
so great that half the houses have been
unthatched to save the lives or cattie
and horses.

Tn the senate.

Washington, April 15.-The Chinese
exclusion bill occupied the attention OF
the ser ate throughout yesterday, Sen
ators Foraker and McLaurin making
extended speeches in opposition. Mr.
Foraker contended that the pending
measure was ''iolative Of out treaty
with China ard was calculated to pre-
vent our commercial expansion in the
Far East. While strongly supporting
the policy of the government to ex-
clude Chinese labor. the Ohio senator
maintained that this could best be done
by an extension of the present law,
holding that the drastic provisions of
the pending bill would cut off our cot
ton trade with China and thus wreck
the cotton industry of the South.

bate iE the house seems to be waning.
judging by the attendance on the floor
yesterday, but the earnestness of the
speeches on both sides of the question
increase rather than decrease in in
tensity. That the Republican opponents
of the bill are determined to prolong
the struggle as much as possible was
made manifest by their refusal to al
low speeches to be printed in the Rec
ord.

Shoes.

Never wear a shoe that pinches the
heel.
Never wear a shoe or boot tight any
where
Never come from high heels to low
heels at one jump.
Never wear a shoe that will not al
low the great toe to lie in a straight
line.
Never wear leather sole Innings to
stand upon. White cotton drilling or
inen,is healthier.
Never wear a shoe with a sole mar
rover than the outline Of the foot
traced with a pencil close under the
rounding edge.
Never wear a shoe with a sole turn
ing up very much at the toes. as this
causes the cords on the upper part of
the foot to contract.
Never have the top of the boots tight,
as it .interferes with the action Of the
calf muscles, makes one walk badly
and spoils the shape Of the ankle.
Never think that the feet will grow
large from wearing proper shoes.
Pinching and distorting make them
grow not only large, but unsightly. A
proper natural use Of all the muscles
makes them compact and attractive.

"Wonder you wouldn't buy matches

81 never buy matches-never have

ut is my pet economy. Most every

And the bookkeeper was right. Near
~ every man has pet economy and
will go to great length to indulge it.
At the Union club they still tell of
worthy old member who was particular
about using a certain kind Of soap, but
was not willing to buy it. They used
the soap at the club, and he appropri-
ated the cakes as fast as he needed
them. He needed so many that the
steward changed the brand.
The same spirit Of economy in small
things makes other people stuff them
selves with bread in order that no but
ter may be left on their plate and vast
ed. Hundreds Of men would not dream
Of buying lead pencil. To save buy
ing sta ionery others write their let
tiers at hotels which are generous in
providing writing materials. Scores Of
men and women save pennies by pick
ing up discarded newspapers in the ele-
waited trains and ferryboats. And SO
it goes. 1t is not so much the actual
money saved that moves people in
these little schemes; rather an Unborn
desire to economic in something.

buyer and the matches. The bookkeep.

THE GAME OF GAMES.
Golf, Says This Writer, Involves Art,
Science and Inspiration.

Golf, Says This Writer, Involves Art.
Science and Inspiration.
It Is true that there is a point of
view from which golf may be regarded
as an extremely simple game-the very
simplest Of all the games with ball
and a club, says William G. Brown in
the June Atlantic. The players object
is simple and single to the point Of
simple mindedness and singularity, one
might say-to put a small ball in q
small hole with the fewest possible
strokes. But so are the objects Of the
highest ambitions, the guiding stars Of
careers the most perplexed and devi-
GUS. 1t is true, likewise, that all the
countless strokes a golfer makes are
receivable into three kinds Of stroke
driving, approaching and putting. But
Mr.. Everard,. in lecture unsurpassed
for truth and brilliancy by any in all
the extremely clever literature IF golf,
has declared that to make those three
strokes Alright one must have "art, sci
ence and inspiration"
From the moment the ball leaves the
tee, whether it be topped, pulled or
sliced or whether, struck in proper
fashion trif1e below the medal line
and urged forward with an exquisite
free lashing out of the wrists, it takes
fight as with wings and seeks it's true
course as with mind and purpose Of
it's own until it drops into the cup with
Naturalization that no louder clang
or pecan ever surpassed in its sugges-
ton Of victory and contamination,
there is no foreseeing what perplexity
or temptation to carelessness or over
confidence it will present.
Not twice off the tee ground and the
putting green will the possibilities and
probabilities of the stroke be quite the
same. In the lie, the wind, the dis
lance to be traversed, the obstac les to
be carried, there are variations not to
be reckoned by any known mathemat-
les.
Then, as the match approaches it's
dreadfully quiet climax of defeat or
victory, the responsibility may grow
positively appalling. The very. DELHI
Grafton which, impossible. in most
games, is so characteristic of this, so
far from lessening the strain on ones
nerves, undoubtedly heightens it. One
has time to estimate the emergency, to
realize the crisis.
Not the fiercest rally at tennis, not
the longest and timeliest home run at
baseball, not the most heroic rush at
football, requires a more rigid concen-
tration of thought and energy or a
more dauntless courage than the flick
of a putter that sends the ball crawl
ing on its last little journey across the
putting green when the put is for the
hole and the hole means the match.
There is not a quality of mind or body
Il will not except or qualify at all
no, not one, that life itself proves |ex-
cellent which a circuit Of the links will
not test.
