Will Visit Exposition.
Mrs. Warren is looking forward
with a good deal of pleasure to a visit
to the exposition, for she expects to
meet many pioneers there and have an
opportunity to talk over the early
days of the northwest, which mas been
so transformed in the last few years
that she declares she hardly recognizes
it. She expects to end her days on the
banks of the beautiful Lake Chelan,
itself one of the wonder spots of this
mighty young state.
One of the most highly treasured of
Mrs. Warren's possessions is a dairy
kept by her mother during the years
from 1886 to 1910. The first entry tells
of the young bride leaving her home
in New York to journey with her nus
band in trackless wilderness. The
writing was done with a quill pen in
a fine, delicate hand, and even with the
lapse of years the writing is as clear
clear as copperplate. The diary is of
historical interest because it tells in
a matter of fact way of the hardships
which the pioneers had to endure when
winning the west. 1t was written by
country was known, as she jotted down
her observations and impressions. The
old book is in the nature of a photo
graph of the wild country at that time.

WEEVIL EATING ANTS.
Doctor Cook Has Hopes keIep WIFI be
Useful In Killing Cotton Pest.

DALLAS, Tex, March 21-A letter
from Washington says: Doctor o. F..
Cook, the department of agricu1ture's
scientist, who discovered the kelep or
boll-weevil- eating ant, will leave
Washington Wednesday for a two
months stay in Kuatemala. The insect
was found there, and it is hoped the
experiment of this visit will help to
exterminate the cotton pest.
"The department already has three
men in Guatemala, who are studying
the process of probation by which the
native cotton resists the attacks of
the weevil, and two others who are
making experiments with the ants, and
who will bring new colonies of them
to Texas during the coming spring.
Doctor Cook says that the reports
received by him concerning the con1i
ito of the keleps already placed in
Texas were favorable. They indicated
he said, that the ats had been able to
withstand the Texas temperature, al
though some of the colonies had been
destroyed by cold water which found
it's way into their nests.
He is of the opinion that the ants
can hibernate in Texas under anything
like favorable conditions, and he has
hopes that they will be very helpful
as enemies of the weevil. He will prob
ably not reach Texas until some time
in May.

MILLIONS STARVE IN RUSSIA.

BERLIN, March 21.-Prof. Reuss-
ner, an authority on Russian affairs,
in an interview with the Publishers
Press correspondent today, declared
that 100000 inhabitants of the Rus
sian empire are literally starving.
Eighty per cent of the population are
unable to purchase the necessaries of
life, he said. Mortality from starva-
ton is increasing by leaps and bounds.
In some districts it has reached the
enormous figure of 10 per cent.
monthly. The peasants are living like
animals, devouring hay, fodder, rats
and mice. The awful popular upheaval
in the empire, ne declared, is not due
to any political reasons, but to pure
hunger.

Chief of Police Martin has collected
the dog taxes from persons who own

to have it said he only collected the
''easy ones" and let the others go. If
parties did not think enough Of their
dog to pay the taxes he would take all
such up and impound them and at the

SAVED THE DOG.

Recently in the city of Omaha hap
pened an incident that ought to be
carefully considered by every human
being. 1t had the elements of tragedy
and there was in it bit of comedy,
too. 1t was fraught with lessons of
love and of life, lessons which might
give courage to the hopeless, lessons
which might inspire the prosperous.
A man, brought to the depths Of de-
spair through his own folly, feeling
that his career Of usefulness was at an
end, went to the rivers bank deter
mined to end it all. Those who thought
they knew this hopeless creature might
have been pardoned by concluding that
1t would have been just as we'll had
the man been permitted to carry out
his purpose. But something happened
which saved this being from sui
cide's grave. We are told that Just as
this man was about to plunge into the
current of the Missouri some one threw
little dog from the bridge. Instantly
the better nature Of the would-be sui
eide was aroused. His desire to de-
stroy his own life was forgotten in
his consideration for the little animal
struggling in the waves. Instead of
plunging into the water bent upon talk
ing the life which 1t was his duty to
preserve and use for the benefit of the
world-he plunged into the stream and
rescued the little dog.
Newspaper reports say that "with
the wet, shivering dog nesting in his
arms" the wet, shivering man applied
for shelter at the police station. He
refused to part company with his
little protege and the newspaper re-
ports state, when lie went to sleep
on the bench In the hallway at the po-
lice station the little black dog was
curled up Oh his breast."-The Com
moner. 7

sleeve. Another bullet smashed his
gold watch. When on the poop he
stopped his head under a rolled avn
ing, and while bent like that a shot
passed through the awnings folds. AT
another time he had just turned from
spot on the poop when the place
where he had been standing was cov-
cred with wreckage from aloft. which
would have crushed and buried him.
And yet throughout the battle. when
men were being slain and wounded
everywhere around him Codrington es-
capped uninjured."
Other incidents of the same battle:
AN lrishman seized musket and,
with a roar of Make way. there. he
swept road through the Turks by
swinging his weapon from side to side
with crushing force. One of my fellow
midshipmen named Hicks was among
the bOarders, many of whom had for
gotten to take their pistols. Hicks
shouted to the first lieutenant, Give
them cold shot. sir" And the boarders
did, for they picked up the cold shot
which was lying about ready for the
guns and hurled it down upon the
Turks"

How Reed HeIped His Friend,

An important political meeting, to
nominate one of the county officials,
took place in a small town near Port
land, Me-, in the fall of 1886. Tom"
Reed came home from Washington to
help his friend Mr.. Carlton, one of the
candidates. The nominating commit
tee consisted of thirteen citizens. OF
whom six were for Mr.. Carlton and
seven for Mr.. Grover, the other candi-
date. Two Of the seven Grover men
were named Smith. Mr.. Reed heard
of this when he arrived in town. The
vote had to be taken that night, and
Mr. Reed thought of way to help his
friend.
Just before voting time he sent
messenger in great haste to the COM
mttee rooms with orders to deliver
the following message, and hurry
away: MIR. Smith is wanted at home
Immediately" OF course, both Smiths
rushed to their homes. The vote was
