THE SITUATION APPROVING,
The Strike in st. Pefersburg Seem. to Re Broken and industries
 Are Resumtng.

St. Petersburg. Jan. 2s-The strike situation generally is improving. In St. Petersburg there is no longer any doubt that the strike is broken. Fourteen establishments, including the Franco Russian, Aboukoff. Baltic. Russo America Rubber Go. and the Ropes American refinery. already have re- sumed. and an entire starting up of factories seems to be assured for next Monday.
 The men who are returning to work are not asking conditions of the em- ployers. They have seemingly turned their backs on political agitators and accepted the governments promises in the matter of shorter hours and an equitable adjustment of their griey- ances at their face value.

Russians Retire Because They

St. Petersburg. Jan. 90, 1925 a. m.- Instead of confirmation of Saturday nights report that Gen. Kuropatkin had broken through the Japanese left. there came Lieut. Gen. Sakharoff's of- ficial admission to-day that the Rus sians had been compelled to retire from Sandepas on account of their in- ability to carry redoubt It Is also significant that the dispatches from Russian correspondents at the front have again suddenly ceased. which Is regarded as an indication of the fail- ure of the operation and strengthens the first impression that it was a dem onstration undertaken to distract the people at home from the present situa- tion.

The Wine Cellars Passing.

Wine cellars are said to have gone
out of fashion, says the London Tele-
graph. Proud fathers no longer lay
down pipes of port for the coming age
of their infant heirs, and no longer
enjoin upon their successors the sa-
cred duty of keeping the family eel
lar replenished- It is not that people
have lost their taste for wines. though
fashion has greatly changed in re-
spect of them, and sherry, for exam
pie. is growing as rare as Madeira and
Madeira as obsolete as sack. When
ever a good cellar comes into the mar
ket the competition at auction is as
keen as ever TO secure the best lots,
and fancy prices are often reached.
None the less, the day of the private
cellar is practically over. What is
the cause?

Dinner and a Little Chance.

One day a well-dressed stranger
called at a Lawrence hotel and told
the landlord that he was broke and
very hungry. The landlord took him
to the dining room and gave orders
for the dinner. When he got up from
the table $50 bill dropped from his
handkerchief which he drew from his
pocket. A waiter picked it up and
handed it TO the landlord, who con-
fronteG him with the fact and at once
took out 70 cents (25 cents is the regu-
lar price) and returned 1925 to the
stranger, who was apparently dunn
founded and speechless. Later on the
vigilant landlord learned that the bill
was ounterfeit.-Kansas City Journal

The Doorway.

heart OF the tangled wood.
And there. like a dream. before me 6
desolate portal stood.
Strange and solemn and somber II stood
and l was alone;
Mystery fell like fog; fear swept ny
like a moan.
1t was bolted strongly above. and boIted
below again.
And one of the bolts was Sorrow and the
other holt was pain.
Two dim lights hung In the shadow, two
red and misty spheres
And my soul sank as I saw them, for l
knew they were Blood and Tears
The way was lost behind me, backward
l dared not go:
I beat upon the portal. and my neaFt
broke with the blow.
Bruised and bleeding and blinded forced
the bolts to move

REGION OF THE "DoLDRUms.'
Expanse of Ocean Once Much Dread
ed by Sailors.

We may hear it said Of one who
is in low spirits, che is in the dumps"
or he is in the doldrums." but many
who use the latter of these phrases
have caught it up without any knowl-
edge of its real significance. The
region of Gains is a belt which
stretches across the Atlantic and Pa
cific almost on line with the equa-
tor. Here meet the north and south
trade winds, and squalls and heavy
rains are frequent, but the character
istic of this region, which is known
also as the doldrums, is an oppressive
calm. The name nowadays loses
much of the significance attached to
it by sailors in the past, who, If their
ships ran into that region. might whis-
tie in vain for wind. as their sails
hang heavily, and all seemed to be
LAS idle as a painted ship upon a
painted ocean,"

A Walters Walk.

Some interesting particulars are
given as to the ground covered by a
waiter in dancing attendance upon
the guests in a restaurant in Chris
tiania, says the Westminster Gazette.
The waiter had provided himself with
a pedometer before starting his work.
According to his calculations. he took
rather under 10000 steps. covering
some thirty-seven miles. between S
a. m. and 1890 ?. n. Working (and
walking) four days a week, he cal
culated that he covered more than
1000 miles in a year. Which would
seem to show that Swedish walters
take their work very seriously; I'M
less, indeed, the pedometer was fast.
