A WALK IN THE CORBTN GAME
 PRESERVE.

There was wild weather in this part of New Hampsire yesterday afternoon. A strong, gusty wind from the east, tossed the big trees until they seemed to be spinning, hissed through the long grass which fled over the ground be- fore 1t, and dashed occasional showers of stinging rain into my face, as I started northward through the Corbin big game preserve. Dark rain-clouds were drifting across Croydon Noun tain, and speeding away to the west, and there was every indication that we should get & heavy downpour before evening.
 The frosty nights of the past two weeks had wrought a change in the appearance of the landscape The great stretches of ferns were no longer green some of the fronds were shiv- |elIed and black, and others were in beautiful shades of yellow, red or brown. The apple-trees were a brave sight, laden, as they were, with their red or golden fruit, which dotted every twig and weighed the outer branches to the ground. These apples are not destined to be picked by men, but not one of them will be wasted, for they are favorite food of buffalo and boar, of elk and white-tailed deer, and of many another smaller creature, to whose welfare we seldom give a. thought.
 Soon left the open country, and entered g. spruce wood, where there was comparative shelter from the wind which sang through the tree-tops, drowning all other sounds. Now and then there came lull, and then could be heard another, fainter sound, the steady tinkling of spruce needles upon the floor of the forest, and upon the dead and resonant twigs which every where projected from the trunks of the trees. And speaking of these twigs re- minds me of a beautiful experiment re- gently tried by a scientist whom I visited some weeks ago. A few days before, he had as his guest one of the great violinists, who, at his hosts re- quest, took his instrument out to a lovely pine wood near the house. Here he hid himself and played with an abandon in keeping with his sur- roundings, and the strains of the violin were caught and taken up by myriad resonant tWigs, until the woods were filled with strange wild music such as his host had never heard. It was the idea of a poet, and it's possibilities are infinite,

An old Timer.

I'm weary of paint and powder. I'm weary of eyebrows and curls; And the busy soubrette who sings
 louder
 Than all of the rest of the girls, And my fancy turns to the past to dwell On the lassie who used to recite
 The story they tell
 Of the curfew bell
 Forbidden to ring tonight. Pm tired of the leading lady, With the frown and the alto voice; In the past that's described as shady No more can my heart rejoice. To that curfew lassie--the village
 pride
 My memory once more inclines,
 Who sweetly tried, 3#fg
 And who almost cried, &4- .a Because she forgot her lines. No queen of the drama is half so fair As the star of that night, in sooth; There is none with such gold in her
 waving hair, -. And none with such artiess youth. And how I resent each ruthless year That curtains the scenes of oldi I'd pay right dear
 For a place to hear That tale of the eurfew told.

AN INFER EsrIKa INouIEE.

The Massachusetts Bureau of statis- tics of Labor labors hard to find out some things that are perhaps not to be clearly found out. It sent out 664 let .ters to leading business men of. the State asking their opinion as to the cause of the higher prices of the neces- saries of Iife-that is to say, of articles which fix the cost of living. The re- plies differ widely in their estimate of the relative importance of the various causes operating to raise prices. Over 46 per cent. of the answers are to the Ieffeet that labor combinations, with shorter hours, higher wages, strikes, letc., are the chief cause. Over 30.S per lcent. convey the idea that high prices are caused chiefly by combinations of capital, while 2S6 per cent. attribute existing conditions to variety of Icauses-supply and demand, increased prosperity, general advance in all commodities, abundant crops, increas- ed supply of gold, extravaganza, higher taxes, a higher standard of living, shorter crops, etc. Over 50 per cent. of
 the replies indicate, however, that
 prices are not higher, while S2.5 per
 cent. assert that they are lower. shoes
 butter, provisions, canned goods
 cheese, soft coal, coffee, vinegar, rice, Hard, salt, molasses and teas are said to
 be lower in Massachusetts, while cere-
 als, clothing, fruits, spices and oranges Iare about the same. Flour, sugar,
 meats, potatoes, fish, rents, leather, Iiron and steel, wood and wool are men, ltioned as higher. There are frequent lexpressions of opinion squinting toward Ifree trade or reciprocity with Canada.
 The price Of leather, wood. lumber and Iwool, for example, is ascribed to the duty on raw material. The effect of the trusts, unions and tariff in enhanc- ling prices to consumers is repeatedly asserted. The higher cost of houses, rents, metals, etc, is thus explained.
 Higher prices" says the bureaus re- bort, "are the poor mans taxes" Upon Ithe poor man--the general consumer Ifalls ultimately the heavier burden lcaused by any element of the eommu- Inity extorting too much. Scarcity, p lsays the report, raises some prices, combinations advance others. The ac-
 tion of earnings and prices Is mutually Ireflex. If the workingman tolls for less
 hours and gets more money for his la
 bor the costs of production and distrib- tution are increased and manufacturers land dealers advance prices"

HE nE1nrH oF RIe rALK.

The dearth of big campaign talk in New Haven is, it appears. distressing others than those who call themselves irregular Democrats. It is now sadly said that the chances that Hon. Thomas Watson, the Peoples party's candidate for president. will talk in this city are slim. The managers of Mir. Watson have urgent appeals that he be allow ed to spend his talking time and breath in the South, and though there has been an urgent appeal that he be al~ lowed to talk in New Haven the indi- cations are that that appeal is going to be treated in about the same way that the urgent appeal for big talk by reg Iular Democrats was treated.
 Hard lines for the New Haven urgent appealers and their followers. Judge Parker wont come here, other big Democrats wont come here, and now 1t lis more than hinted that MT. Watson wont come here. Of course it wouldn't make any difference if they should all come here and rend the air with their shouts tnot shouts, MT. Compassion, Iplease). But it Is humiliating to reg ular and irregular Democrats to be sighted in talk. What is there for them but talk? If they can't get that they are indeed forlorn and futile.

All afternoon walked, sometimes in the dense woods and sometimes in the open. but animal life seemed scarce. To be sure, I saw a red squirrel, who might have been the owner of the en- tire reservation if one could take his word for it. ..-.s With the exception of snow-shoe rabbit, which leaped across my path in the woods. and a flock of robins which were swept past like leaves be- fore the strong wind, saw no other living creatures on my outward walk.
 It was nearly six o'clock and grow ing dark, when I turned towards home. The prospect of the homeward journey was a pleasant one. There was a ten mile walk, and in the uncertain light and with the sound of one's footsteps drowned by the rushing of the wind, there was no telling what one might have chance to see. The route chose was not quite new one; had been over it once with guide months ago, by daylight, but much of it looked new enough in the gloaming. For time the trail lay to the west ward, up long grassy hill, the top of \ which was outlined sharply on the i sky. Suddenly I saw a picture. Up, over the ridge, appeared the head of a doe elk, black upon gray ground, and immediately it followed by the body as the great beast strode along the top of the hill. Behind it came another, and another, until six elk, four does and two lawns were marching in Indian file, clearcut against the sky. Save that 1t lacked the glowing color, it re- minded me of the paintings of some body who makes a speciality of depict l ing camels across the desert, in sil- houette against the sunset. In a moment they got my wind, and the outlines of the black figures changed, as the animals paused and turned their noses toward me. Then, one and all. they wheeled, and the whole band were galloping down the far side of the hill, \ while I ran as hard as I could to the summit to get the last glimpse of them. Then saw that one of the fawns was lame and was limping far in the rear. What ailed him? Who shall tell2 Possibly a lynx had struck but missed his kill; possibly d stray bullet from hunters rife had found him out. l strove to overtake him, but, cripple as he was. over ground uprooted by boars and strewn with stones and bushes. he soon left me far behind.
 Now 1t began to rain. cold, driv- ing. soaking rain, which not only pene- trated the clothing from without, but, beating into one's neck, ran down into ones boots in tickling rivulets. Down in hollow I saw two deer in their brown winter coats. which rendered them so inconspicuous that should have passed them by had it not been for their white -bordered tails, which they twitched nervously back and forth. They saw me. but not we'll enough, perhaps, to satisfy their euri- osity for they stood until was very close before they moved. Even then they did not run away; they simply made jump oratwo. and stood star ling as before. A rairl-soaked khaki suit is not conspicuous at any time, and in gathering darkness these deer were evidently puzzled by 1t, and they seemed so curious that it looked as |

Who would be Russian mu1jk in these days, or even the Russian Czar? War has made much trouble in south- iern Russia. In that part of the coun- try the situation of very many of the |reseryists' families when the bread-win- |ners leave for the front will, it is said, inevitably be one of almost complete destitution, Only in very few cases have reservists been excused on the plea of their having an exceptionally large family entirely dependent upon them. Horses have been communicated right and left alike from wealthy trad CTS in the towns and from poor mujiks on their farms. The sums paid by the military authorities for the animals represent a mere fraction of their value. Much discontent is openly manifested in consequence, Many of the wealthy class have succeeded as usual in evad- ing the acquisitions by temporarily substituting during the "horse mobiliza- tion" period inferior animals for those they generally use, in some cases with the connivance of the military depart ment itself, upon the usual considera- ton. The poorer landowners and ever- patient mujiks have no such means at their disposal for evading the law. The better the mujik's horse the less chance there is of it's escaping requisition. Moreover, he must take what the gov- ernment offers him for it. He weeps, appeals, offers his insignificant bak- sheesh, and mumbles curses by turns as he stands with hundreds of others in the market-place concentration en- closure. Half his land must go un- ploughed until he can add enough out of his own pocket to buy new horse with the slender dole he may get as compensation from the authorities.
 Poor Russians! Their country is en-
 gagged in an unpopular and unjust war, and they are having hard time of 1t. All they can do is to grin, or grunt, and bear it.

The most accurate clock in the world is in the basement of the Berlin Observatory, and has been running since 1865. when it was set up by Pro- lessor Foerster. It has often run for three months at time with a daily de- piation of not more than fifteen-thou- sandths of a, second.

MORE RUSSIAN FALLENG BACK,

MORE RUSSIAN FALLING BACK.
 At last accounts the Russian warriors were falling back again, and as they have had much practice in the art of falling back they ought to be able to do it we'll. But they are evidently hard pressed, and if the Japanese are able to follow them up sharply there may be some decisive work. The talk now is that the Japanese have gained a great victory, with great slaughter on both sides, and that the Russians are retreating. There is gloom in St. Petersburg, and no wonder. When Ku- ropatkin went out against the Japanese the other day the Russian idea was that he was about to sweep Russia's foes off the earth. But they have refused to be so swept, and it looks now as if Kuropatkin's sally was one of despera- tion rather than of confidence.
 It is large war, although we are per mltted to know little about it. The history of It when fully told will be very interesting and instructive.

Later the hen showed up in the barnyard with six teen fine black bass following her, and she is as proud of the job as little boy is of his first pair of copper-toed boots. :. .:.-..

The citizens of Chattanooga, in the big pasture reserve of Oklahoma, are making preparations for big wolf hunt. It.is expected that hunters from Indian Territory and Oklahoma will take part. The plans are for the sportsnen to gather on the four sides of a six mile square tract and proceed to the center, forcing all game ahead of them; when at the center they will, with the aid of their dogs, kill the wolves. No guns will be allowed in the hunt.
