Assistant Secretary Armstrong in the

gusted tones: II ate beefsteak the

beefsteak cost me $1.25 and the first

The dentist looked me over and said
there were so many improvements nee
essary in my jaw it would cost me $1O''
Mr.. Armstrong listened to this tale
with a severe expression. "Wilkie,"
he said, reproachfully, you should eat
more regularly. Then you will not at
tack your food SO voraciously."

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-
ters" is used simply to designate a
certain part of the roadway; cutters,
as such, do not exist. The drunken

the winter is passed by the insect be-
meath the scale. The true louise is a

two antennae and strong beak. They

with their beaks to the limb and become
permanent fixture, never thereafter

sLEDeB RACING ON THE HARBoR IN WINTER

American cart-horse, but he goes like
the wind. He will walk or he will gal
lop, but he does not condescend to do
anything between. His harness is
wierd and wonderful and very Rus
sian, consisting primarily of a huge
wooden half-hoop over the head-the
keystone of the whole structure, which
is attached to the shafts by winding
long thin straps backwards and for
wards. 1t takes hours to put this on,
is always liable to come undone, and
II undone is very dangerous. An Eng
fish lady once related to me with hor-
ror how she was taken for a drive in
Vladivostok, and the horse AMI car
riage just went over everything
walls, banks, or whatever came in the
way. 1t is quite true, Russian horse
does; and if you have once driven be-
hind one you are never nervous again
you are either killed or cured.
In Vladivostok you take your daily
skate as here your constitutional, and
the most exciting thing to do is to
sledge along the coast-dangerous be-
cause shore ice is never quite trust
worthy-to, say, the original Askold,
which does not lie sunk in Port Arthur,
but is an island on the northeast coast
of Siberia.

1t Is Z Bleak. Black, Frozen City in Which There |
Is But Little to Be Found That

In the winter time the bazaar is
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,

They do all the work of the town; the
Russians garrison and misgovern it;
the Chinese, the Germans, the Japan

and the ticket-of-leave men from Sag

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.

Wide Tires Aid to Roads.

In France every freighting ana mar
ket cart. instead of cutting deep ruts
in the highways, improves it. MANY of
the tires are ten inches wide. IN the
four-wheeled vehicles in that country
the rear axle is about one foot longer
than the forward axle, and as result
the rear wheels run in a line consider
ably outside that produced by the front
wheels. After few loaded wagons have
passed over the road it looks as if a
steam roller had been at work on it.
A national law in Germany provides that
wagons heavily loaded must have tires
not less than four inches wide. In Aus
tria the minimum for similar vehicles
is six and half inches; in Switzerland
six inches. If the law-making bodies of
our states would pass laws of this char
acter, instead of expending money for
new road machinery and building roads,
the people might be just as we'll satistied

platform by more earnest though often
less polished men. In the practical
work of management he has been mag
nificent figure-head; Platt has been, un-
til recently, the real power. Now Platt
himself is back number.
That, brutally stated, is the net result
of the new truce arranged between Platt
and Odell. Gov. Odell says that he has
been repeating on an average once a
month for long time that Platt can be
the Header" as long as he lives and
wishes the title. Cdell is tie chairman
Of the state committee; is the dispenser
of patronage; is the real power.
Odell is heavily built, nliddle-aged,
deep-chested, with a powerful chin, dull
eyes, sagging cheeks. He speaks plain
ly without a sign of the oratorical
graces. Piatt is an I'D man and rather
feeble, very slender, speaks in a rather
thin voice, has even less ability to sway
men from platform than Odell. And
ne is out of power. Odell could have pre-
vented Platts reelection at the last va
cancy had he wished. 1t is said that he
has often regretted his good nature in
not filling Platt's place by a friend of
his own. He will not run for the gov
ernorship again; and he tells his friends
that he has no desire to be "chloro-
formed" upon his retirement from Of
ice.
This is taken to mean that Mr.. Odell
desires the senatorship.
