Americans Not Particularly Welcome
 There These Days.
 Some interesting observations on Russia are furnished by w R. McAl- pine of San Francisco, who recently returned from q two months soiourn in that country and was in Washing ton, by reporter of the New York Post.
 Tt was difficult to realize from the behavior of the Russian people that any war is being carried on," he said. Now and then I conversed about it with some intelligent civilians, ard in varfably they used these words: We haven't begun to fight yet This is in- deed the truth. Russia has not started in, and these initial successes of the Japanese make no sort of impression on the sturdy and fearless subjects of the czar, who have no sense of danger and are defiant of death. How such giant as Russia can be subdued is more than anybody who goes through the. empire and sees its millions of popula- tion and its unlimited resources can understand.
 Americans are in no great favor over there, and, though was treated politely, I could see that German was greatly preferred to an Hnglishman or a Yankee. I had an experience right on the threshold of the country which may serve as warning to other Amer jeans. carried not only my passport, but the strongest credentials that could be presented by stranger visit ing Russia. For the two ladies with me had no individual passports, hav- ing been told that these would not be necessary, and yet when I got to the little Russian town on the frontier be- cause of this lack my Journey was ar rested, and had to go back to a Ger man city a hundred miles away and secure through the American consul the necessary papers, which required negotiation through Berlin and held me up for three days, besides putting me to lot of expense"

WALK WITH 4 BEAR.
A NATURALIST DESCRIBES THE
 ANTICS OF A CUB.
He Was an Adept at Climbing Trees, Walking Stone Walls and Rail Fences-His Encounter
 with Cow.

When called him Johnny" I had forgotten for the moment that already there was a celebrated bear cub of that name, well-known to all readers of MT. Seton's Lives of the Hunted" and as soon as I recalled this fact my hopeful was rechristened Jimmy" At first he seemed to resent the change of name, and when called Jimmy" in a tone of authority, the. cub would saunter off with sort of nds-in-his-pockets'' air and rather tough sidelong look, which seemed to say: Who are you talking to, anyhow? My name ain't Jimmy" But he got used to it in the course of a few days, and now he an- swers to the new name as often as he did to the old one, which is about once in ten times.
 Yesterday, Jimmy and went out for walk, and before we returned we had some rather exciting experiences. But before he would take one step out of the garden, the cub insisted on hav- ing his breakfast, which, as usual, con- sisted of a large pan of crackers and milk. He was hungry after his all- nights fast, and he rushed at the pan like a-well like a hungry bear. His nose went down and touched the food, but with a disgusted look he raised his head without taking a mouthful He walked up the steps to the piazza, and, as the door was locked, he began to weave back and forth as bears and other wild animals will do when caged. Won dering why he refused his food. made inquiries. thinking that perhaps the milk was a little sour. It was perfectly fresh, but found that it was last nights milk, while Jimmy usually had that which was fresh from the COW. We made a change, and gave him the mornings milk, and with a hungry growl be fairly widowed in 1t. After licking the pan

all questions within the wide range of this new science. In roomy arcade are comfortable chairs where one may sit and study forests by dozens and mountains by scores, noting the forest treatment as illustrated most graphical ly by huge transparencies. Outside the arcade is massive testing machine in which tough hemlock log is bent to the breaking point, showing exactly the strain that 1t will bear-to the straw that breaks the cancels back. Here sits the forester as on a throne of knowl- edge, with object lessons and evidences of his wisdom all about him-not as an oracle or lawgiver, but himself a mod est student, telling what he may know and having the one aim of promoting knowledge of practical forestry among the people and to improve his own in- sight in the science that is his life.

clean, he was given a bowl of water, in which he washed his face with his fore paws, and then he was ready.
 Along the country road we went, Jimmy galloping along, now in front, now behind, and making frequent excur- sions into the woods on either hand to satisfy his curiosity or to pick wild raspberries, of which he is very fond When he came to a raspberry bush, he would first eat those which hung near the ground. and then, standing on his hind legs, he would pull the tall branches down to him with his fore paws. The amount of energy he displayed was re- markable; he never seemed to know what 1t was to be tired even after the most violent exertion. After galloping perhaps hundred yards to catch up to me, he would make a playful run at me, biting at my legs and giving me vigorous hug and shake with his fore paws, breaking away only to dash up a tree to point perhaps 50 feet from the ground, without so much as twig to aid him in his ascent Here he would probably chew the green leaves mo- ment, and then, turning round, he would come sliding down, tail first, at once breaking into 8 gallop to make up for the ground he had lost He would march boldly along the tops ofthe stone walls, walk slowly and cautiously on wobbly rail fences and rush up the trunks of trees when there was noth- ing more exciting on hand Sometimes, he would remain up tree so long that I got far ahead of him on the road, or. sometimes I would hide in the long grass and call him to see what he would do. Apparently he never followed my trail by scent, as a dog would have done, but relied on his ears and eyes.
 By and by, we struck into the fields, and had not gone far when we en- countered COW with her last-year's calf. She was interested in Jimmy at once, and started after him at a very business like pace. But Jimmy was attending to business, too and before the COW was near enough to be dangerous, the little bear was looking at her from safe position in the crotch of a wild-cherry tree. The COW was sensible creature. and did not make any useless threats, but kept her gaze on the impudent cub, who stared at her with devil-may-care expression on his naughty little face. Presently, he seemed possessed of a de- sire to find out what she would do if he faced her, so he slid down the trunk, and went boldly to meet her as she ad- vanced with lowered head. Just as she neared him, Jimmy stood bolt upright on his little hind legs, and, "squaring off" like 8 prize fighter, swung for the jaw with 'left" and right" in rapid succession, and landed twice. It was plainly surprise for the COW, for she stepped back in a hurry, and before she could recover, Jimmy, with that pe- culiar sneering look of his. turned and boited up the tree again. drove the COW away, and we continued our walk.

Kenneth Moering of Algeria, whose seven-year-old son Isaac died in Par kersburg, W. Va, short time ago from eating poisoned ice cream, has had the boys body placed in a glass casket, which is filled with alcohol says Parkersburg dispatch to the New York World. The latter has pre- served the body, while the glass cas- ket enables the parents to see the fea- lures of their son at any time. The casket is in mausoleum, and the par ents say the body will always be kept as 1t is now, so that they can always behold the face of their son.

Secretary Taft,s Little Joke on Gen.
 eraI Weston.
 Brigadier General John F. Weston, the commissary general of the army, is happy at the order permitting army officers to wear civilian clothes while on duty at the war department, says a Washington dispatch to the Kansas City Star. It is current gossip in mili- tary circles that General Weston was responsible for the order. He went into Secretary Tafts office several days ago, when the heat was intense, wear ing his heaviest uniform blouse. Some of his fellow officers say he donned it purposely to show that he was uncom- fortable Whether Weston's over heated condition was or was not re- sponsible for the order, the fact re- mains that it was issued by Secretary Taft Immediately after the general left the secretary's office. Secretary Taft recently met General Weston in a cor ridor of the war department.
 tI was looking for you" said the general ''I wanted to tell you how good 1t feels to be able to wear my jacket unbuttoned."
 General Weston had on light civilian coat He threw it back around his shoulders to display the pinkest pink negligee shirt that ever adorned the person of a general officer of the army.
 General Weston" said Secretary Taft, If had known that that order would permit any officer to expose a shirt like that I'd never have issued it."
