COLLISIONS ARE AVOIDED Strike Continues to Spread
 in Russia. THE SITUATION NOT ACUTE Men and Masters Show Spirit
 of Moderation. The Whereabouts of Father Gopon Not Known, Although it is Be-
 neved that the Priest
 is in Moscow.
THE SITUATION NOT ACUTE

With troops patrolling the streets in St. Petersburg, Moscow, Libau, Odes- sa, Kieff and other industrial centres in Russia. there were no serious col- lisions with strikers yesterday. In Moscow some of the employerN are evincing a willingness to make some concessions to their workmen but there has been no general agreement on that point
 In St. Petersburg the return of workmen has enabled several factories to resume operations and the authori- ties hope for a general resumption there on Monday.
 The Minister of the Interior has promised to consider the cases of the prominent writers who were sent to the St. Peter and St. Paul fortress for their activity in the political and eco- homie agitation and he has given a qualified promise that they shall be re- leased.
 St. Petersburg, Jan. 27.--(3 a. m.)-- Although the strikes in Reval, Libau, Kieff, Odessa and q few smaller places are extending. the situation is nowhere acute. An increasing number of work men are out in Moscow. but there IS no general ue-up or disorder there. The whereabouts of Father Gopon still remains mystery, although 1t is be- liexed the priest is in Moscow.
 The Russian capital presents almost . normal appearance and the authori- ties are confident that the backbone of the strike has been broken.
 Some factories and mills already have resumed, and general resump- tion of operations is expected on Mon- day. The authorities expect that the failure of the strike here will have a diseouraging effect upon the workmen in other cities to which the troubles have been spreading. and believe that there Is no longer danger of a com plete suspension of all the industrial concerns of Russia.
 Minister of the Interior Sviatopoik- Mirsky has promised a delegation of editors who called upon him to protest against the arrest of a number of prominent writers who are now con fined in the St. Paul and St. Petersburg fortress to secure their release as soon Rs possible.

THE STARRY WHEEL

She saw the wheel go round and round,
And ever to the West,
While groups of fairies danced thereon
In rainbow colors dressed.
Then half the wheel sank out of sight,
But westward still it turned;
And still upon its upper half
The fairies were diScerned.
And as they danced among the stars,
Twas towards the east they went
Till Myra woke and understood
Precisely what it meant
For some were dancing near the hub"
To Brother 10 she said;
while others near the misty rim
Were further on ahead.
And Jupiter was king of those
Most easterly, l thought
And following on the smaller round
Were Venus and her court.
But Venus, though she's now behind,
Will be in front some night
Before the wheel has rolled enough
To take them out of sight,"
"We'l watch them BOTH" quoth Brother Jo
tbs no great thing to do,
Since the fairies came from Fairyland
To show the wheel to you"
but does this wheel turn really round?"
Submitted Aunt Maria.
''Were on speaking terms with elves
I'd certainly inquire.
| The daily twirling act is done
| By earth, it seems to me-
! Then Myra unused perplexedly,
And 10 remarked, "We'n see."

BIRTHDAY

This was my birthday when I dwelt on
The Great Shade murmured, land fain
would see
How the inheritance of priceless worth
Has prospered since t was held in
For strong, true souls untainted by foul
greed,
And by me left in honest, loyal hands,
Splendid fruition of splendid deed
That made my country pole-star of all
lands,
Sister of Justice mother of the free.
Handmaiden Of the Goddess Liberty
Upon his wishes wings the spirit hurled
Himself through midnight space to
Showed by its golden CLINT it was our
world
For yellow leprosy of gold shows far
He paused above a rich and mighty state,
Fecund, broad bosomed, lowered with
vast store
OF Natures bounty, part inviolate.
Part reft, and part greed cankered at
A land OF plenty and of needless want,
OF lordly eagle and Of cormorant.
He heard the laughter of the affiuent,
And muttered protest of the multitude,
Glow rumbling of hot angered discomfort
'Twixt peace and conflict warning in
terlude.)
He saw wealth greater than mankind erst
In contrast sharp with penury and woe.

"I'm watching Venus" Myra said,
One night not long ago.
"She's overtaking Jupiter,
Who seems to be so slow.
She means to pass him very soon,
IN three more weeks at least;
And therefore hurries so along
Her patch from west to east
From west to easti'' cried Brother 10,
NO Myra. that can't be.
For Venus goes from east to west,
AS all the world may see.
AT supper time she's there on high,
And gloriously glows;
At bedtime she has gone the way
The sun at sunset goes.
And everybody knows the sun
Sets always in the west
Said little Myra, THAT may be;
But Uncle John knows best.
And Uncle John said plain and clear,
She's moving towards the east;
So, as for what the sun may do,
1t matters not the least
Then Brother 10 laughed loud and long,
And little Myra sighed;
Her loving faith in Uncle John
Was very sorely tried.
So when she said her prayers that night
There came special clause
Requesting Revelations light
On planetary laws.
The fairies of the snowf1akes heard,
And made a starry wheel;
And placed it where the sleeping child
Its influence could feel

of the infrequent breathing spells.
Yes, they ask US most anything, from
the current quotation on an industrial

''SOme of the questions would stick
anybody, but we have to do the best
we can and look pleasant about it. If
all the inquiries were as easy to an
Swer as the ones you heard, there
would be nothing TO it, but when the
passengers ask about bank references
of commercial firms and freight rates
to and from the Granger gateway and
the likelihood of intercepting a gold
brick artist in St. Paul, We have to do
some puzzling to satisfy our pat
rOnS.
Some information clerks make it Il
point to answer any question off hand
that is put to them. They would make
a stagger at the construction of an ir-
regular Greek verb or lay down the
law concerning an abtruse application
of the binOmial theorem, or even elu-
cidate some of the more obscure pas
sages in the philosophy of Kant, al
ways providing that some one asked
them over the counter of the informa-
ton bureau.
Personally, 1 do not believe in TAX
ing chances. Some fellow might have it
framed up on me and then it is appar-
ent that when information is given it
should be based on knowledge and be-

which were answered as if the very

"A LII things are said to come to the
lM man who waits, and all persons,
1u sooner or later, come to the Union
depot. Nowadays when a man dies and
his survivors tell how he had never
been on a railroad train, the world
wonders, because it is so exceptionally
remarkable.
On busy day. when excursions are
coming in and going out, the interior of
the gloomy old railway station at the
foot of Sibley street seems as if it held
nearly everybody in st. Paul. Con-
slant streams of intent people flow
through the building in ranks as I'M
broken as those of a regiment on
parade. Each one of the members of
the crowds has some specific point as
an objective, and like magic they sift
along as if in the hopper of a vast mill,
and eventually land in the place aimed
at.
James Farrell, depot master, has been
watching these crowds for twenty
years. He has seen the great rush into
the Canadian Northwest, which was al
it's height nearly score of years back
He saw the hardy gold seekers stream
through in the later ninetieS, bound fol-
fortune or death in Alaska, and he has
witnessed the more stable travel which
has resulted in the peopling of the
Western states.
He estimates that he has seen 100000
900 persons of all ages and condition:
pass in and out over the marble pave
ment.
Every. day some tragedy and som,
comedy come under the eyes of thu
depot officials. At first these things ar,
noted, but with the years their novelt!

newspaper story gradually sink back
into routine, and are scarcely remem-
bered once they are passed.
The concentrated woe In the mind Of
the average lost child comes to be re-
garded as merely a serious obstacle
standing in the way of finding the
parents or guardians of the child, and
one that must be overcome before the
lost one may be restored. The black
tragedy lying behind the desertion of
trusting women, common enough oc-
currence in any great gathering place
like the Union station, while carefully
noted is quickly forgotten, and the
next train that rolls in bearing its load
of new faces wipes the slate of memory
and leaves it clear once more.
1t is not that the tendency of the
times is toward heartlessness, but sole
ly because constant recurrence of SINH
lar cases has taken the novelty away.
There are employees at the station
who say they can tell by observation
alone the origin and destination of a
large percentage of the passengers
They do not require view of the ticket
to do it either. Just as a knowledge OF
human nature is valuable in dealing
faro bank and buying groceries, so il
| is valuable in handling the big crowds
and determining what a given passen-
ger wants without going through list
| of categorical questions.
Mr.. Farrell is something of an expert
| in this line, and for him it is claimed
! that he can tell very closely the age
| occupation, home and destination of 81
per cent of those with whom he has oc-
casion to talk.

asked a man with eyeglasses and a

After Mr.. Dunn had learned the route
of his ticket, he responded:
"Wednesday evening, $685." and the
tourist edged out of the crowd and
gave place to a young woman, who evil
IDENTIFY knew just what she wanted to
know and just how to get it;

where board might be obtained.
Next came a fiurried female person

could possibly manage.

Never a smile cracked Mr.. Dunn. He

The iron entered deep into his soul
And in his agony the spirit spoke
My country, o my cOuntryt is the goal
OF thy ambition bound within the stroke
or servfle pens that sum the misers
Within the sordid limits of dull trade?
Was it for this thy founders barred the
sword,
And for thy serfdom with their life
blood paid?
All! great republic, lurking danger lies
where wealth accumulates and men
decay
Where children's toll brings tears to
childhOod's eyes.
Where lust of gain takes women for its
prey.
Twas not for this we broke with king
and throne,
And brought, through war. people to it's
own"
The spirit ceased. Then far above there
shone
White light where Hopes bright star
And through the night there rang
prophetic tone.
Once more he spoke. My birth land,
From worship of the base. false dollar

Back TO the paths thy stern souled sires
Back to the shrines of honor. right and
