we said he did not betray the fact Bid
we'll was so provoked by the situation
that he fred I, whole hroa..siue of Con
necticut oratory into the official, ending
| up by threatening a suit for 100000
damages, but he might as we'll have
saved his breath. By and by we were
taken to headquarters under a strong
escort and there ushered into the pres
ence of the chief of police. We were
taken in singly. My turn came first
The chief consulted a memorandum
and began:
You arrived in ST. Petersburg on the
9th. You claimed to be an American
tourist. You received a letter from Par
is on the 10th and one from Hamburg
, on the 11th. You have spoken disre-
specially of the police to the proprie-
tor of the Park hotel You were very
disrespectful toward the officer who
was ordered to follow you about Do
you wish to leave st. Petersburg by the
evening train?"
l replied that had come to visit the
city as a tourist and had planned to re-
main for at least a month.
The chief touched a bell. and two
police officers appeared. Out Of my own
money they bought me ticket for the
German frontier, and both rode with
me for the first 500 miles.
What happened TO Bidwell learned
long afterward from his own mouth
and through the American press. He
born American citizen to bend the knee
to the autocrat Of st. Petersburg. The
charge against him was more serious.
His baggage at the hotel had been
Overhauled, and his samples of wire
, clOtheSlines We're at once spotted" as
! a menace against the peace Of the
car. He also had laid violent hands
: on the sacred body of a police spy, and
that proved him a desperate man if
; not conspirator. He was defiant
when put on examination, and the up
shot was that he was taken to the
fortress of St. Peter to be held foi
further investigation. That simply
the chief Of police. No papers were
ever served on him nor was he ever
taken into court. He was put into a
dark. damp ceh. confined to prison fare
and treated like a criminal. 1t was
three months before he saw any other
face than tie jailer's. Then a police
official came to ask him if he would
agree to leave Russia and never return
in case of release.
! Not by a long shot" was his ready
reply. For every month you hold me
in here III demand $4,000 extra. and
if Uncle Sam doesn't back my lawsuit
every Bidwell in Connecticut will move
out of the country"
At the end of seven months he was
set at liberty. He started for the
American legation, but was intercepted
and taken TO the depot and forced tC
enter a train. Two officers accompa.
MED him to the frontier, and he re-
ceived such a solemn warning against
attempting to recross the line that he
never tried it. He filed a claim or
reaching the United States, but it was
pigeonholed and heard of no more.

According to recent cablegram
from Stockholm no less than 10000
persons living in Norrland are suffer-
ing from hunger. In many localities
the people eat sort of bread made
out of pine bark and boiled reindeer
moss. In addition to the failure of the
crops the fisheries give no returns
The fishermen return from the lakes
and rivers empty-handed. Even the
ptarmigan (vipor), which used to be
very numerous, have almost disap-
peared. 1t is. estimated that over
$6,OOO,OOO will be needed to save the
people from destruction. So far $780,
600 in cash has been raised, $12,500 of
this amount having been contributed
by Swedish-Americans.
A servant girl at Raa wrote an orig

:GOSSIP FROM:
: SCANDINAVIA:

The negotiations between the gov.
ernments of Sweden and Norway for
a satisfactory settlement of the ever
lasting consular service question are
said to be characterized by goodwill
and fair-mindedness on both sides.
This sounds we'll. But the following
statement, which was made by cred
liable authority, will make the
thoughtful reader ask himself wheth-
er the negotiations are carried on in
the most practical way: ''In the first
place endeavors are made to arrive at
an agreement about the details, on
the basis of the opinion of the COM
mittee, after which the question of
the diplomatic service and the for
eign Office will be discussed" This
means that the minor details will be
disposed of before the main points
are settled. This method will no doubt
strike the reader as the very reverse
of practical

PRUNING TREES.

Limbs TO be removed should be cut
of as smoothly as possible with a
sharp saw ard as close to the main
stem as possible. When a limb enters
q shoulder at the trunk. the cut should
be as close TO the former as possible,
yet never through it. There should
never be any stump left. because the
cambium dies back and when the
stump decays there is a hole left which
is apt to cause the trunk Of the tree
to rot and become hollow. Torn
wounds are q source Of danger to a
tree II large limbs are to he removed,
which should. never happen in good
pruning, there is danger Of the weight
OF the limb tearing the bark. TO avoid
this cut from below first and meet this
cut with one from above, or. if this can
not be done, cut of the limb a foot
from the tree and remove the stub.
Large wounds should be smeared over
with tar o. thick paint to keep out
moisture. 1t is very important that the
healing process should start soon after
the wound is made otherwise the cam
blum will be killed back quite a dis
tance from the exposed surface and
healing will be greatly retarded. For
this reason pruning should be avoided
in cold, particularly frosty weather. II
spring the camhium is active, anj
wounds made ut this time start tC
heal ut cace, and there is little or n,
dyinS back OF the cambium.-Gre2n:

Ghost reces Communal.

Ghosts differ quite as widely in IA
cial expression rs in other characteris-
tics. One always has a long clean
shayen physiognomy, cadayecous and
pitiful in expression. Another clean
shayen spook aears his hair high on
his head and has a generally distin-
guished and gentle air. One of the
percipients Of a woman ghost, though
frightened by its first appearance, af-
terward anticipated pleasure in the
hope OF seeing It's kindly disposed face.
Its eyes were green and glistening,
but the rest Of it's face was mufled
up" is recorded of another haunt
tall, black ghost frequently seen upon
rural roads paralyzed some children
with fright when they looked mp and
beheld the lawful expression" Of its
countenance. Women who saw its
face at other times describe It as thin
and deadly pale. The face Of a young
mans spook haunting a modern city
house is pale and luminous. His eyes
are downcast as though in deep
thought. The majority Of ghosts ap-
pear to look sad and deathiy rale. A
conspicuous number among the mascu-
line persuasion are clean-shayen; yet
many are adorned with the shades OF
mustGches and boards worn in real
life. To those who were near to them
in life they usually appear in their nor
NAL form. Sometimes to those who
have not seen them for long intervals
they exhibit changes experienced be-
fore death, but not previously OBJ
served.-Washingt Star.

Yanlee Enterprlse in Honolulu.

No more opposite illustration of Yam
kee energy can be afforded than the
telephone system Of the city of Homo
lulu. The wires run everywhere, even
far out into the suburbs. They do not
disligure the view as in American cit
les, but seem a part Of the vines and
creepers which leap from wall to tree,
from tree to tree, and tree to house.
Nearly every house and store is CON
nected, and the rates are so low that
they would make an American stock
holder weep with sorrow and disgust.
Most notable of all, the company
owns small submarine cables, and for
a mere pittance viii connect a man-of-
war CT a merchant ship anchored far
out in the harbor with the city. Naval
and maritime folk are socially impor-
tant, and this ingenious innovation
proved an invaluable boon to the sa-
Ions ashore and the slips afoat
In the stores you can hear the cap
tains, stewards, pursors and paymast-
| ers ordering goods over the wires,
growing at dilatory messengers. or
making inquiries regarding hundred
subjects On one occasion a friend ar
ranged a dinner party Of twelve per-
sons, including the invitation to two
naval officers on their ship, invitations
to the other guests, ordering supplies
and engaging walters, in half an hour,
without leaving the hall in which her
telephone was situated. - Washington
