In view of passing events in the Far East the
following paragraph from Writ Gerrares book.
Greater Russia" is of timely interest:
Russia has acquired enormous dominion In
Asia which she wishes both to extend and CONSOLE
date. These territories will not be opened to
Element by Europeans, but peopled by Russian
subjects for whom the commerce and industry of
these regions viii also he reserved. The Russian
railways in Eastern Asia are intended primarily
to serve a political purpose and until Russia's
military dispositions completed there the lines
will not be opened to general traffic. Probably be-
fore that happens the world will be asked ac-
cept Russia's views and Russian rule in the Far
East.

Lovers of country life can draw moral from
the story of DIR. John w Streeter. author of
The Fat Of the Land" Broken in health from
overwork. he gave up his profession and took to
farming. where he regained his strength.
and wrote his book to induce others suffering
from the strain and stress Of city life to follow
his example. With singular inconsistency, then,
perhaps to prove the permanence Of the cure,
he re-entered professional life and pursued his
calling with much energy that In a few
months he fell Ill again. and has returned
to his farm for keeps"

at the same time, the exact location OF
the spot where the Paterson Young affair
took place. He said that he had learned
that the mans name was Young but
beyond that he knew nothing When in
formed that Nan Patterson had been
