as indeed even our own soldiers have
done. Far from treating the wounded
Turks with indifference and cruelty,
the Russian soldiers even while they
remembered the fact that the ottoman
generally killed every wounded Mus

than otherwise paid friendly attention

This is why they have never had Il

MOTHER PAWNED HER SON.
Method Employed by Woman of
Mexico to Raise Funds.

hCAiSO 10 hat5c
That human beings can be pawned
the same as pair of shoes has been
demonstrated by woman Damel Ell
ena Davalos, who. whenever she was
very frequently-pawned her Syear,
old son, Francisco, for sums ranging
between So and $S
For time she used to pawn her off
spring with some neighbors, who used
the little boy as servant until he
was redeemed. They paid nothing for
his services, but exacted high inter
est for their money invested in the
operation. More recently she found a
Spanish pawnbroker who lent her
money on her son and also used him
as "a clerk in his shop.
A few days ago the woman redeem
ed her son from the pawnbroker, but
subsequently found herself without
money again, and pawned the boy with
a woman named Dolores Garcia, who
loaned the mother $40. With this
Elena went to visit a number of pulque
shops and taverns, and when she had
spent one-half OF the money she called
upon Dolores and urged that her son
be given back to her. A quarrel en-
sued, a gendarme interviewed, and the
whole affair was disclosed at the po-
lice station.
Now the two women are in Belem
and the boy has been sent to an or
phan asylum. AS this offense is not
foreseen in any code, it is not known
what penalty will be applied to the
method of the boy and to the woman
who loaned money on him.-Mexican

THE RUSSIAN SOLDIER.
He Is Brave, Uncom planning, obedient
and Sympathetic. ca


Writing of the Russian soldiers,
Frank d. Mlllett, former war corre-
spondent of the London Times says:
| have marched with them in the heat
and dust of the waterless region of the
Dobrudscha; have wallowed with them
in the mud for weeks during the disas-
trous campaign on the LON; have suf-
fered with them in the depressing days
after the Plevna defeats; have slept
with them in the trenches during the
dull siege of that stronghold; have
waded through the snow and bivouacll-
ed with them through the long winter
campaign; and finally have reIoiced
with them when the treaty of peace
was signed at San Stefano-and |
know what rare and unsuspected quail
tiles these simple peasants develop
when the exigencies of active service
demand of them that they should be
men.
The first popular reproaeh against
the Russian is that he is cruel and i'm
placable as an enemy. The catch.
phrase, Scratch Russian and you
will find Tartar while true in Il
certain way, Is by no means descrip-
live of his nature. He is perhaps some
what Indifferent to what we should
call suffering; but he is as Indifferent
to his own woes as he is TO those Of
others.
What we should call hardships are
to him familiar and not trying expert
ences. His notable lack of Imagination
keeps him from ready sympathy. but
his heart is as tender as ehlld's and
