RUSSIA'S SATURNALIA OF BLOOD.

The assassin is abroad in Russia. He is reap
ing frightu harvest and there is no telling when
the terrifying slaughter will end Thus far the
terrorsts have kept the pledge made in the proc
lamation issued several months ago. They have
not attempted TO destroy the life OF the car For
the present. at least, he is safe, but how long will
his immunity endure?
But though safe himself it is a path OF blood
Nicholas ii is treading. But couple OF weeks
ago his cousin and namesake narrowly escaped
death from bullets aimed at him by his own troops
while manoeuvring review.
The awful slaughter following the explosion
OF bomb in the residence of Premier Stolypin
proves beyond question the cruel and mplacable
determination OF the extreme revotionists And
now comes the murder OF General Min at the rail-
way station at Peterhof when he was shot down in
cold blood by young woman who calmly avowed
herself the slayer
From the moment the cars decree suppressed
the douma and drove il from the Tauride palace
the assassin has stalked among his trusted sup
porters and laid rhem low by the score Among
the thirtytwo victims OF the explosion in the Stoly
PIN residence were six generals, the governors OF
provinces police and court officials.
1t would seem TO be the purpose oi the terror
lists to utterly demoralize the car by encircng him
with Gordon OF death made up OF the bodies of
his slaughtered supporters. Such spectacle must
exercise terrifying influence on one who has
shown himself such weakng as has Nicholas III.
But what good can come OF it. What gain can
the Russian people expect from this saturnaia of
blood? Assassination never yet won liberty for
an oppressed people will it bring freedom 10
the suffering, but misguided subjects OF the Russian
despot.

THE WASP AFFECTION

\ colony OF wasps made nest In the
dark room OF studio last summer. At
first the party who used the room did
not relish their company, but for certain
reasons he did not mo!est them. He paid

came and went at their own sweet will.
After "A time he began to study them
and soon came to the conclusion that they
were gradually becoming acquainted with
him. his ways and his dark room one day
a stranger was seated on the window sill.
The first wasp entering the room paid
no attention to him, but made for the old

window like a bullet. Within five minutes
half dozen wasps came with a rush at
