The Picnic.

Father took a chunk of ice,
Mother took the bread,
Henry took the lemons. and
Sue, took the spread.
Willie took the chickens, fried,
Henry took the ham,
Baby took a tantrum, and
May a jar Of jam.
Maggie took the olives; and
| the forks and knives.
Uncle Frank and Uncle Tom
Came and took their wives.
For we all notion took.
We ought TO take a day,
And take little outing where
Nature holdeth sway.
Father took US with his team,
Where the woodland lies,
The horses and a couple Of dogs
Took plenty flies.
Then we took a while to breathe,
And wipe our beady face,
Then a longer time to hunt
A cleaner, cooler place.
The men they t,ok the horses out
The women folks the food.
Then we took a while to eat,
And fight the insect brood.
Auntie took the chance to talk,
What a sad mistakel
While we took our time" she said
THE ants they took the cake.
Everybody took a pain
Underneath the vest.
Chiggers came and took just wha
We went for o. the rest.
Then the skies took on a tinge
As if to spring Il leak.
Hurriedly we hitched the teams,
And quickly took a sneak.

ing the refuse and dumping it into
the sea. And these convict stations
and settlements seemed to me like
monstrous dumping grounds.
1t made me sad to think that down
in the prison settlements and all
around me all traces of the human
which may have remained in this
refuse were irretrievably doomed to
perish
The second impression concerned
Sakhalin itself.
My first steps on the island ap-
parently took me back at least so
years in the history of Russia. The
grievous compulsory toll, the cringing
servility and dofing of caps and many
other signs brought to my mind the
days of serfdom.
The first impression of Korsak-
offsk is distinctly pleasant There
is nothing at the first glance to re-
mind you of the galleys. 1t is neat
little place. Two rows of pretty little

houses for officials are located on
the side of rather steep hill. The
prison is a long way up the noun
tain. It is low one-story building,
and does not command the view nor
intrude itself upon the observer.
Houses of settlers line both sides Of
the hill. Nothing horrible, nothing
somber is revealed at first sight. You
are inclined to rejoice over the ap-
parent responsibility Of the place,
and driving up the road to Korsa-
koffsk you smile and think: "Well,
this is very neat, very neat, indeed"
But wait! Sakhalin is a swamp,
the surface of which is covered by
pretty meadows. 1t looks charming
ly green, but step and you sink
in the deep, cold, sticky and viscous
mire.
The remark about the neatness
hardly escapes your lips when you
hear around the corner the rafting of
chains. Harnessed to a cart, grasp
ing the shaft in their hands, convicts
are dragging refuse to the sea.
What depressing sight to see men
doing the work of horses.
The road leads past the prison, and
one can see the grimy window panes
behind heavy iron bars. Right above
us is the hospital and directly oppo-
site the mOrtuary.
The Chain Prison.
The chain prison of Sakhalin is in
tended for the criminals of the worst
kind. Officially it is called the prison
for the testing of convicts," while the
prison for convicts showing signs of
reforming" or the free prison." is
used for convicts who have passed
the test of the 'chain prison"
Our chain prison is bad, very bad"
remarked the inspector. 1--WE are
building new one, but it will take
years to get it ready -.
Attention." calls out a guard A
rattling Of chains, and the convicts
rise from the benches. On Easter
Sunday two of the convicts fled from
the prison, in spite of the fact that
the convicts in body had given
their word of honor" not to attempt
an escape. AS a punishment, all of
them were put in chains. It is moist
and close. Not an attempt at venti-
lation. No attempt at making the
place habitable. No effort to make

The Russian Prison Colony and Its
Terrible TRAGEDIES.
DESCRIBED BY A RUSSIAN WRITER
Terrible Cruelty of the Keepers and the Exc
cutioners Methods of Punishment That
Stagger Humanity-Dreaded" knout"
and How 1t Is Applied.

The interest of the world in the
Russian penal system is awakened by
the capture of the island Of Sakhalin
by the Japanese. From time to time
during the past quarter of century
the civilized world has been shocked
beyond measure at the tales Of cruelty
to which the Russian convicts in this
vast prison have been subjected, and
the depths of degradation to which
these once human beings have been
brought. But Russia has been careful
that but little of the true picture of the
island should reach the outside world,
and newspaper and magazine writer's
from England, France and the United
States have made repeated attempts
to secure authentic descriptions OF the
conditions in this great prison land,
and of the atrocious cruelties prac-
ticed there, but none have ever been
fully successful. Much has been
guessed at, and the world would
scarcely credit these pictures of the
imagination.
1t has remained for a Russian to
give us practically authentic pic
ture of Sakhalin, and though the pic
ture is tempered by seeing things
from the Russian standpoint, it is still
a picture that is so horrible that it
staggers humanity. This story of the
horrors of Sakhalin has been pub
lished in book form, and it is only
translated extracts from the book
that we can give here:
The First Impression.
First Impressions are likely to be
very vivid. l shall certainly never
forget the moment when our steam
launch came alongside the jetty at
Korsakoffsk. The landing was crowd
ed with men. A few more steps and
l was lost in that sea which / so
yearned to fathom.
During the months l passed among
the convicts at Sakhalin / could not
free myself from two impressions
which held me in thrall, tortured me
and oppressed my soul like a heavy
burden. They still are holding my
soul under their ban and still are
depressing it. The first of these i'm
pressions concerns my trip to SAX
halin. Our steamer, which trans
ported the convicts from Odessa, re-
minded me of a huge barge, like those
used in our sea-coast towns for tow

existence tolerable. Not even the
usual convict chests are to be seen
anywhere Bare benches filthy straw
mattresses are bundled together at
the head end of the benches A
NANCY, lean cat plays among the
benches and purrs ingrati atingly. The
convicts are fond of animals, for they
alone regard them as human
In the center of the room is table,
or rather tall bench. 1t is triangu-
lar in shape, wet and dirty, COW
cred with bread crumbs and filthy tea
cans.
We enter cell, where we find two
convicts chained to barrows.
Lets see your Instrument"
The rusty barrow squeaks, the
chains rattle, and the men attached
to the barrow show us the implement
of torture
The barrow, which weighs about
100 pounds, is welded to the chain
around the convict's ankles.

, .sThe Little Homestead, ,,

The bitterness of friendship turned to
hatred is wildly portrayed in the char
acter of the villain in "The Little Home
stead" Here is man whose soul is
consumed with desire for revenge upon
his one time college chum for an imag-
mary wrong. His oath: wherever you
go, whatever you do, will be there in
time to destroy your happiness. | swear
to you that sooner or later | will ruin
your whole life," he fulfills to the letter,
by robbing the young master OF mis- lit
tie homestead, OF his most precious treas
ure-his wife. But in the cruel execu-
ton OF his vow, the villain works his own
undoing and finds punishment in death
at the hands of a faithful cripple who
has been devoted to the erring wife.
The play is charming emotional rural
| drama in which the characters are taken
from life and set in the atmosphere Of
homelike New England. There is Just
enough comedy, the right proportion of
pretty dialogue and sufficient number
of thrilling situations to round out a
we'll balanced drama of heartfelt inter
est. This will be the attraction at Royal
hall, Tuesday evening, April 18th. Seats
on sale Saturday.
