Is Cheerful

In the winter time the bazaar Il
really sight; everything is frozen
stiff. The huge long sturgeon from
the interior stand in rows on their very
sharp-pointed noses; baskets full of lit
tie fishes are piled together like chips
of ice; frozen birds hang down in long
festoons, and the municipality is
spared one trouble-it never has to
make away with food gone bad" The
bazaar is almost entirely IN the hands
of the Chinese, the tall, dark, rough
Chinese Of the north, who live wrapped
up in wadded cotton clothes, until they
look like bundles of bedding. With.
out the Chinese and the Japanese
Vladivostok would find it hard to exist.
They do all the work of the town; the
Russians garrison and misgovern It:
the Chinese, the Germans, the Japan.
csc, and the other nations trade in it,
and the ticket-of-leave men from Sag
halien drive the droskies. These last
are not political exiles, but criminals
mostly murderers; and they all live
together in settlement about two
miles outside the town, under strict po.
lice supervision. i:
The great sport of Vladivostok in
the winter is safeguarding, and when
once the harbor is frozen over proper
course is marked off, and everyone
who owns horse takes part. A Rus
sian horse is superb brute; he stands

vent it; and every day people are
taken up frozen from the cutters, the
spirit which is in them only fastening
the freezing, so that the carts which
are always sent round to pick up the
sailors when the crews of the men-of.
war are ashore have to do their work
quickly. In the summertime, when
there is not the same need for hurry,
the men often lie about in cutters
until the afternoon. The word "gut-
tiers" is used simply to designate a
certain part of the roadway; cutters,
as such, do not exist. The drunken
ness among all classes Of Russians is
simply appalling; officers think moth
ing of taking a tumblerful of raw
whisky as q modest "bitters" before
dinner.
When the wind is not blowing the
cold is endurable, though i've fur-lined
overcoats are not at all an extraordi-
nary amount of winter wrap. You
wear, of course, fur boots, fur gloves,
fur caps. Women have their skirts
and bodices lined with fur; wild cat,
being both soft and very warm, Is
often used for this purpose. It is
quite astonishing the partially for
such things as oily sardines that one
develops.

COLONEL c, j, MONFORT.

Colonel G. J. Monfort, who had been
novering between life and death for
ten days died April 9 at the Windsor
hotel, st. Paul For many years he
had operated the hotel, and he was
widely known through the northwest,
both politically and socially.
Col. Charles j. Monfort has been one
OF the best known men in St. Paul for
more than forty years. He assumed
charge of the Windsor hotel twenty
four years ago and since that time his
acquaintance widened throughout the
state and the Northwest.
Col. Monfort was born in Colches-
ter, Delaware county, N. Y, March 49,,
1S41. He moved to st. Paul when a
young man and was connected with
the Peoples bank, of which his BROTH
er, u. A. Montfort, was cashier. Dur
ing the war he was in the Office of
Maj. Phinney, paymaster for the de-
partment of Dakota. He assisted in
preparing Fort Ripley for defense
against an attack from Hole-in-the-
Day during the Sioux outbreak in
1862.
After the war he was associated

To those who have never expe-
rienced it, real Arctic cold is almost in
conceivable. They cannot grasp the
difference between 10 and so degrees
of frost; it remains to them merely
one of numbers. Indeed, when once
the winter has gone it is sometimes
difficult to remember really how cold
it was; but during the four severe
winter months themselves it is very
solid and serious fact. Every night
you go to sleep remembering, if you
are new to such things, that failure
of the furnace which heats the house
means death; you might wake first to
know you were frozen or you might

gray dust, more like powdered ice
than snow, blows over the land, but for
the most part it is a black, not white

more impressive. The earth freezes
