RUSSIAN PRtvATE's LETTER.
Writer Tells Of His Amusements on
the Way to the Front.


a. small shopkeeper named Veruinin.
who carries onabusiness near the Ar
bat, has received curious letter from
his son, giving particulars of how the
cars soldiers amuse themselves DUR
ing the long journey, says the Moscow
correspondent of the London News.
The letter is dated from Muisoyaya,
the western terminus Of the Trans
Baikal railway. 1t begins with innu-
merable loves and greetings" to
relatives, and proceeds:
we were kept four days at Tchelia-
binsk, and only started on Feb. 3. We
got here very tired, as we took two
days to get across Lake Baikal, and 1t
showed all the time. Two Of our men
were frostbitten. We spent a night In
the 'teplushka' (station in the middle
of the lake where soldiers rest). There
were over seventy of our men in it.
We had to get up in the night and
pile logs on the fires outside. / won
der they did not burn through the Ice.
I'VE are hungry to get at the Jap
anese. Kiss Lukeria, and tell her
will bring home their pigtails to tie
up the old cow with. Now for our
anIusepaents. We have Jew named
Yanlxo, drst-rate little chap. His ia
ther is a rich man, and he taught us
to play cards. He played quite fair,
but won all our money. He says he
can count to a million. Markoff sold
him the buttons off his coat, but the
sergeant hit Yanko and made him
stand In the snow and sew them on
again. We call Yanlxo lobster as he
got very red, being a proud man.
Z Our men who were frostbitten got
an extra tcharI1a of vodka. 1t is aston
ishing how easy it is to get bitten.
What we want first is matches, as our
train has hot air pipes. wish we had
a stove. Yanko had whole box OF
matches which he sold sfngly. I owe
him one ruble and three kopecks.
we got lots of .nfakhorka' coarse
tobacco}, but Our cigarettes are all
gone. Send me a pipe
tThe second battalion Of our regi-
naent Is at HarI,ir. and we shall see
our old friends and also the Cinnamon
who are going to fight on our side. So
what does it matter ff the English 60
against us? II they do, we shall stop
at Chfta and go back to India. Some of
our officers fought against the English
in the last war against the Turks A
Turk is a better man than Japanese
any day, and if we beat the Turks we
can beat the Japanese.
I'VE are going to get new boots at

through here went in second-class car

sunshine gIrthday Parties.

Did you ever take part in Sunshine
Birthday Party?' If you did not you
have missed a great deal Of pleasure
Perhaps you do not know just what "a
Sunshine Birthday Party is like, SO we
will tell you.
There are a great many members Of
the international Sunshine society who
are shut -ins. which means that such
one is, because OF sickness or disease, or
other misfortune, shut m from the active
business or social enjoyTnents of life and
is compelled to spend many weary, lonely
hours ON bed or couch of suffering. To
such Slaut-ins the members of the Sun
shine society have tried In various ways
to carry good cheer from time to time
throughout the year, remembering their
birthdays especially by bright, comforting
letters and little tokens OF friendship and
Iove.

Natural History.

The open car once more is here:
Adown each neck the wind doth play:
The bell doth clang with tones severe
To bid pedestrians clear the way.
Teh birds conjoin IN merry song,
The winds make music in the trees,
But Ger the music of the throng
Resounds the words, Step lively,
pleased"
The car conductor comes apace.
And to the scene excitement brings;
With primitive arboreal grace
From post to post he stoutly swings,
And like some hive of monster size,
Where men are thick as honey bees,
The car moves on, while loudly rise
The old time words, Step lively,
pleaser'
The crow in springtime singeth cav"
While other birds do carol ''tweett;'
All creatures have. by natures law
Some April strain that's harsh or sweet.
And what man loveth best, by far,
Is when these veFnal signs he sees,
To perch upon an open car
And hear the song, Step lively. pleasei''

At all events Nance ends as a famous
actress and wife OF ObermulIer. The
book is more thoroughly alive, more
nearly a piece Of life, than anything Of
the kind that has appeared in years.
But it certainly does not leave a good
taste in the mouths. of the fastidious.
That Miriam Nicholson has made a
success of a sort with her first book
cannot be denied. It Is fascinating

The Silent PIaces-By Stewart Edward
White. Mcclure, Phillips & Co., pub
fishers. For sale by st. Paul Book and
Stationery company.
The author of "The Blazed Trail"
stands in no danger of being neglected
by the reading public. He has a way
of writing Of outdoor life that con-
vinces one he has not made his OBJ
servatlons from a country club win
dow, but has learned the secrets Of
nature from its very heart. The present
story is absorbingly interesting and re-
lates to a great man hunt through the
oW-coVered forests Of Canada, which
gives the reader a scent of the fresh
air of the Northern woods 1t Is a
narrative of the chase, doggedly press
ed, While both fugitive and pursuer
desperately battle with every obstacle
auished by cold and starvation The
tale is virile, intense and powerful.
Mr.. White has added fresh laurels to
his crown and makes his place as ma
ture writer even more secure. There
is curious and intense love story
running through the work, between a
white man and the Indian girl which
has all the charm of old time romance.
How well the author can write is wit
messed to by the following: "Dick
padded in the bow. His face had re-
gained its freshness, but not entirely
its former bOyish roundness. The old
air of bravado again sat his Spirit-a
mans nature persists to the end, and
immortal and unguenchable youth is a
gift of the gods-but in the depths of
his strange, narrow eyes was a new
steadiness, a new responsibility, the
we'll known, quiet, competent look in
variably characteristic of true woods
men. At his feet lay the dog, one red
trimmed eye cooked up at the man
who had gone down to the depths in
his company"

Not When I'm Dead.


The following little poem from the pen
OF Fred II. Yaple. a son of ex-Congrees-
man Yaple, Will voice the sentiments of
many who are weary Of watching life
struggles without a kind word or even a
thought to help in the everyday trials.
Wnlle the coffin that holds the nulseIess
Iorm and the mound beneath which the
tTed heart rests are heaped with flowers:
In your garden are many roses.
some OF them are white and some are
Really. | am very fondN of roses,
But want them now, not when I'm
dead.
Don't wait to show me your affection.
When the earth is piled above my head,
In your garden there are many roses
But want them now. not when I'm
dead
Why wait until my Iabor's ended.
Don't you think it better if you said:
Please accept this little bunch of roses.
4ou want them now, not when you are
dead.
For in your garden there are many roses,
And their blossoms like our years ara
Really, am very fond of roses.
But l want them now, not when I'm
dead"

Though clouds arise to chill the heart,
And fill it with despair,
While happiness will soon depart,
AS life seems SO unfair.
Keep hope, fear not, for God is near
To drive the clouds away,

Will dawn brighter day.

Beneath Gods sunshine bright,
For faith beholds our Father near,
In darkness as in light.

Negroes

The census gives 2,065, 9S9 ne- groes in the United States of vot- ing age. This statement shows plainly that there are 125. .000 negro votes in the seven states named, while the republicans had total majority of less than H. GOO votes. Or in other words, there are between three and four times as many negro votes in these states as the republican majority in the states named in 1902. If these states were added to the dem ocratic column a democratic presi- dent would be certain of election.
 It may be said the republicans have these black votes, and what are you going to do about 1t. l answer, we will act within the law, without violence or injustice to any. Let the white people of the country understand they are ruled by the back vote added to the republicans, and a remedy may come. The white men of this country pay nearly all the taxes, and they should rule.
