DRIVES GIRLS INSTEAD OF OXEN.
Wealthy Russian Works Lands with
Peasant Women Yoked to Plow.

The following report from Orel were
well nigh incredible if the Orlovski West
mix did not, in earnest and indignant
terms, youch for its complete accuracy.
A young and wealthy noble land own
er in the district of Yeletz is in the con-
slant habit of driving about his estate in
a light victoria in summer and an ornate
sleigh in winter, drawn by four peasant
girls, yoked two on either side of the
shaft.
The brutal driver guides his slave
team, with which he exchanges no words,
by reins attached to the girls arms,
and, when necessary, the exhaustively
tagging human cattle are stimulated by
something more than a cracking flourish
of the horsewhip.
During the last season, the local jour
nal adds, this mobiles arabic lands were
mostly plOyed and narrowed by peasant
women yoked in place of oxen, only two
being allowed to each plow or harrow,
both implements being of light American
structure.
These white slaves are, with few ex-
ceptions, unmarried girls, the daughters
or sisters of the land owners peasant
tenants

THE CAMP.

Then have We seen the mining camp
They're building over yonI
Twas suddenly created there
Between the night and dawn.
They built it. by the glinting light
OF geld, beside the street,
Aud they built 1t on the desert
Where the desOlatiOnS meet.
And mountain rocks and lesser rocks
Berib the rugged scene,
And some are hard and golden rich
And some are hard and lean.
There's not enough of water there
10 bicker down rill,
But stronger drink, of vicious red,
Flows ever up the hill.
The homes, of mud or canvas like
The dice of fortunes throw
Are scattered on the ups and downs
OF rush and fever row.
And fifty hundred men are there,
Aud twenty hundred mules,
And twenty dozen gambling nails,
And twenty hundred fools.
Ana have We seen the fling Of chance
The men that luck Will choose
The tyros here who win the gold,
The pundits there who loseE
And have We seen the ancient shame
OF women lost to hope
That may not even walk to hell,
But weakly toward it gropef
And have ye counted hair the sum
Of pity and applause
The gods record who traffic not
With puny human laws?
And wot We aught of tragedy
And comedy--the twain,
So fair and dark. and dark and fair,
That march beside the strain:
Yet when YOU see that mining camp,
iYon cannot miss the trail:
It's blaZed with empty bottles and
With signs Of fierce travail,
Regard the hOmes-the garden spots
That ON the desert press
Where men of strength, with womans q
Subdue the wilderness,

She turned her head restlessly from side

Il could not speak--the old Joy had

sadness that never lightened. Her hus-

He had grown coarse and worn, and on
his face were the lines of a tyranny
which would deal humiliation for her
guileless taking Of my hands"
The professor covered his ewes. Years
had passed, yet that scene never came
without raising the primitive rage of his
impotence. The girl at his feet laid a
comforting cheek against his knee His
voice rcgained its gentleness after a min
ute, and he continued:

"Mother!" breathed the girl, her heart
stirred to its depths. My beautiful

The professor rose slowly and laid his
arm along the maHtcl-shelf, above the
glowing Goals.

Be to Work the Contempt Of Millions
Of Honest Men.
Columbus. O.. March 27.-Rev. Dr.
Washington GLADDEN.. pastor OF the
.Yrst Congregational church Of Colum-
bus. and moderator of the Gene. al
Council Of Congregational churches OF
the United States. in a sermon dis
cussed the gift Of 100000 made by
John ID. Rockefeller to the American
Board OF Missions He said.
The money profered 10 our board
OF missions comes out Of a colossal
estate whose foundations were laid IN
the most relentless rapacity known 10
modern commercial history.
The success of this business from
he beginning until now has been large
~ due to unlawful manipulations OF
railway rates.
THE United States government Is
now engaged in a strenuous attempt 10
ferret out and punish this injustice.
And the people of the United States
have a tremendous battle on their
hands with the corporate greed which
has entrenchcd itself in this strong
hold. and has learned to use the rail-
ways for the oppression and spoliation
Of the people
And now. on the eve of this battle,
they are asked TO accept a great Git
Of money from the man who more
completely than any other represents
the system they are summoned TO fight
Il hope they are not mean enough 10
take his money and then turn arouhd
and fight him. | hope they are not 80
faithless to their obligations as to take
his money and shut their mouths or
become his cpologists
I'VE do not want this mans money.
To accept il will be TO work the con-
tempt of millions of honest men; TO
reject II will strengthen our churches
in the respect and affection of millions
who are inclined to doubt whether the
churches love God more than mammon.
Our missions will be richer and
stronger without II than with it. and
we shall lose nothing by our Loyalty
to the things unseen and eternal
