RUSSIANS ON CANAL.
Panama Welcomes the Big Felloaos
Who Haze Come to Dig.
Written for The Tribune by George Steep American
Legation. Panama

Panama. October l.
A element that recently presented itself
the scene of canal activities is the
advent of large numbers of Russian immigrants.
AT first this feature seemed to be of
little value in that it was feared that this class
of labor would prove to be as unstable
physically as are all other Northern workmen
who take service under tropical conditions.
So far, however, there has been less sickness
among the members of this colony than among
any other foreigners the isthmus. Whether
this is due to their temperate habits and so
merely a temporary condition. is as yet question
to be solved Men who arc used to the luxuries
that mark the homes of most Northern nations
soon succumb to the rigors OF malaria and other
fevers. but these Russian peasants are men who
have lived in the most simple manner known,
and who seem to be of almost perfect physique.
They have lived temperate lives. and easily
adapt themselves to conditions. They work
with remarkable steadiness, in marked contrast
to the Jamaicans and nati-Fe Pansman laborers
They do little no complaining. and in the
course of a day accomplish double the amount
of work accredited to equal number OF ia
maicans.
These men are not temporary gangs and
nornads but are thrifty farmers. who have fed
from their native land to escape oppression.
they can follow their pursuits in peace The
large number of Russians coming thus suddenly
is due directly to the Russo-Japanese war. They
are refugees, who decided. rather than go to
the front to shed their blood in the cause of a
nation for which they could have but little love
and in principles of which they had no faith,
to give up their homes and seek peace in a land
where war is thing of the past, where oppres-
sion is unknown and constant labor the great
est virtue And these are. they declare.
oniy the forerunners of many thousands more
who will come If health conditions continue
good.
They have not come to this country before
because Central America has been a land OF
revolution and bloodshed since it's discovery,
and would have continued so had not the United
States taken it in its protective hand and ap-
piled it's principles of justice and peace, that
what was once a wilderness occupied by dis
satisfied. Iethargic race. and with small SEM
bIance of civilization, has become the scene OF
the most gigantic engineering problem in the
worlds history, with all its attendant problems
Of labor and progress. The pursuits OF peace
have been founded in Panama by the united
states government and in doing so it has not
on1y made a new centre for the worlds pollClcal
and engineering interest, but it has created

THE BLUE COAT BOY.

The blue coat boy, with his yellow stockings
and no hat. is a constant source Of wonder To-
the French observer. How came he by that Co.'S
tune, and why does he brave the elements With
nothing on his curly head? A Paris Journalist
has unravelled the mystery. The pious founder
Of the celebrated school was deep In thought ons
day. He had elaborated the costumes OF his
scholars beginning with the yellow stockings,
and working his way upward. he had devised
the coat and the belt and was waiting for an
inspiration concerning the headgear, which was
to be as striking the rest of the toilet, when
he suddenly died. Out of respect for his memory
his task remains exactly where he left it. and
the blue coat boy has no hat. How fortunate =

bears the title of LAS You Like It, BY sub
iecting a man to a fusillade of comic cards of
this description, the friend of the picture postal
saws he will become a teetotaler in self-de-
fence. , -
Another plea for the picture postal is that 1t
makes people laugh, and laughter aids digestion
and lengthens life. Most persons are not hu-
morous and yet. with few pennies, they can
now make their friends laugh as hard as though
they were professional comedians. If man is
at a summer resort, and writes back that he
NAV be there for some time, his friends read
what he says, and then feel glum because they
are not there too But il he sends a postal card
showing tramp up tree and bull glaring
up from below at his red stockings with the
words II may spend some time here" envy

were getting through, and he issued a special
notice to keep close watch for them AS re-

of which would put those WHO made or sold

picture postas which passed through the New

half were from abroad Often one steamer will
bring in $4,000 TO 10000. In one bag which
came in the other day European steamship
there were 5000 cards from Switzerland alone.
At the present time three times many picture
postais of all kinds are sent through the mails
as year ago.

MODEST BEGINNING.

Two years ago the picture postal card fad
began in this country in such a humble way
that it was unknown to the great majority of
people In fact it could not then be called a
fad at ALL 1t was limited to few picture
postais representing local scenes These We're
cards with Photographic views of the streets
and buildings of cities, or of mountains, lakes
and rivers of country regions. most of winch
were bought by travellers who found them
handy means of letting people at home kno"
where they were The postals took far less
time than letters Instead of having to compose
a laborious essay on the things seen. the KIND
of weather what everybody said OF this or that.
besides excuses for mot writing before the
traveller needed only to scratch down Two or
three words Of greeting and his name. ana ne
did not need to excuse his prey1ty. either. Inc
picture on the card was so big there was 40
more room for anything else.
Such postal cards We're supposed 10 sabisiE
those who received as well as those Inat sent
them They brought glirapses of other parts OF
the world which amount Of description troEa
the average pen could depict so distinctly They
made pretty keepsakes to frame, to cover up
old walls or file away in scrapbooks.
Another reason why the picture postal cara
became popular on its first appearance was
that il appealed more or less to the self-conceit
OF the sender When The native of Lonesome
vile. for instance. came To New-IorA he was
sure TO mail home cards pictufing the most
luxurious hotels and the highest skyscrapers. III

kind. Whenever a certain postal card makes
hit it is parodied and initiated out OF existence.
When "The Whole Dam Family appeared for
a cent it proved so popular that 1t was shouted
from every corner by falSirs. who could hardly
keep up with the demand. Within twenty tour
hours after "The Whole Dam Family" proved
itself such a drawing card rival appeared IN
sThe Whole Dam Household" Instead of having
Mr. l. B. Dam as its head and the Dam dog
as its net this neighbor had Mr.. u B. Dam
and the Dam cat Then followed in rapid sue

pecans was shipped from this city to-
day. being consigned to South Allan
tic cities This Is the first carload on
peoans shipped from this section and
was consigned by a local firm, the
nuts being shipped and brought to
Waco from nearby points.
Local dealers say pecans are not
so plentiful in this district as in some
others and they arc paying a good
price for them. There is a good mar
ket in the east for pecans and while
this is forcing prices up here at the
present time, it is not probable that
prices will remain as high as they are

that as soon as the bulk of the fruit
is put on the market The price will be
materially reduced from what II Is al

the eastern cities is maintained as Il
is now the natural result will be tha
