Running a paper in Russia is
preeminently a risky operation.
The Cars government spends
more on the press censorship than
it does on education, and quite re.
Gently the staff of press censors
has been increase by eight. Last
year eighty-three newspapers were
suspended for periods amounting
in all to thirty-one years and ten
days; twenty SIX papers were for
bidden to accept advertisements,
and 25o editors were officially
threatened with Siberia if they did
not mend their ways. The censor
ship even pursues the unfortunate
editor after it elects him. One
eminent conductor Of a scientific
journal recently dismissed at the
instance OF the censor is practi
cally condemned to starve or emf

II. L. Verthien related an experience
which seems marvellous in the eyes of
the uninitiated. A young operator
from one. of the stock brokers' offices
in that city originated Il bright joke
one morning. and when the line to New
York was not busy. put it on the wire
for the dedication of the opera tor
there. with whom he had often Lad
lonG-distance conversation by means
OF the Morse alphabet. Half an hour
later a friend of his from an office
across the street came in and sprung
the same gag on him. He said that it
was brand new. as he had just heard
1t from New York not ten minutes be-
fore. Investigation showed that the
New York operator had passed the joke
along and inside of an hour at the
utmost it had been told almost all over
The country. and had come back to the

THE cH1PMtNk AT HOME.

The little chipmunk. which We see
scampering along the stone walls
everywhere. is one of the very pretti-
est of our fOur-foOted animals. BY
reason of his beautiful markings of
black. bun and chestnut he is some
times called the painted squirrel. and
because he seldom leaves the ground
for the trees he is also known as the
ground squirrel. He is one Of the
most provident of animals. spending
most of the autumn in storing away
food to last him through the winter
First OF all. though, he digs a long.
winding tunnel in the earth. with sew
eral short branches. which he uses as
storerooms. Into these he carries nuts
of all kinds. wheat. buckwheat, grass
seed and any other available food
which will keep. He carries these
things. n few at a time. in two pouches
one In each cheek-and when you
see him homeward bound on an au-
tumn morning. YOU will notice that
his face looks very much swollen.
Watch him little while and you will
see him enter his burrow by small
round hole, close to an old stump.
perhaps. In a few moments he will
have stored his load of provisions. and
will reappear at the doorway with the
swelling all gone from his face.
When the weather becomes cold In
November the chipmunk retires to his
well stocked burrow and sleeps away
large part of the winter. waking up
at intervals to stretch his limbs and
to sample the good things DE spent so
much time in gathering. When the
warm days toward the close of Febru-
are herald the approach of spring. the
little ground squirrel comes to the door
of his home to sniff the fresh air and
to warm himself in the Strengthening

1t has always been a theory among
Westerners that an Indian a full
blood-wouldn't work. But all this
summer forty Indians from Haskell
Institute have been at work for the
Santa Fee near Emporia. Side by side
with them gang of Greeks has been
employed. and the railroad bosses say
the Indians excel the Greeks in every
way. Indeed. it is acknowledged that
the Indians made the best workmen Of
any engaged on the road. and there
are gangs of several nationalitics en-
ployed near Emporia. All summer
these Indians. many of whom belong
to the football and baseball teams at
Haskell. have kept up their practice
in these games. They never seem
too tired to play game of ball. and
they have beaten all the teams in the

SEA BIRDS AND sron.is

that most of the sea birds nesting
along the coast have been peculiarly

those kinds that have the ll.tit of

by the immense numbers of some
kinds, such as the shag. that are en-.
