a trip through Little Russia, east
or the faliTOdQ track duOIuS al Illus
tration of what may be done by in
dustry and economy. This is a settle
ment of Russians who come to this
country. A few years ago this was
an unsettled section lying between the
tracks and the river. considerable
portion is now covered with neat cot
tages, a village by itself with neat
clean streets. The houses are painted,
ometimes, perhaps, in too gaudy col
ors with little lawns and flower beds
in front and vegetable gardens in the
rear. The notable points in this con-
nection is the fact that these families
came here very poor. 1t is said that
scarcely a family arrives here with a
debt of less than $50 or 5000. Yet
even with several children, oftentimes
they manage in a few years to clear
off such Indebtedness and build their
little homes. They are honest, indus
trious people, mostly devoted members
of the Roman Catholic church.
