A LOYAL Younqster.

Mr.. Ogle, a "blueblood" from Vir-
ginia, had recently moved to Wash
ington, where he purchased a hand
some house on a fashionable street;
but, as is often the case in that city,
small frame houses were in close
proximity, and from these houses lit
tie urchins issued and played on the
pavement near his home
Little Beverly Ogle, aged 6, watched
the children longingly. One day his
father saw him playing with one of
the dirtiest of these little boys. He
called the child to him.
Did I not forbid your playing with
those children?" said he sternly to his
son.
Eyes, father, you did; but Robbie is
Virginian; you said bad boys"

SHAVING HIS DOG.

Your whiskers, sir, are much too long;
It's time you thought of shaving.
You're older far than l am. Smut,
(Now don't you turn away, SIR;
And yet your hair has ne'er been cut,
Nor have you used a razor.

My whiskers will be showing;
Ten years next birthday l shall be,
And fast, they say I'm growing.

Folks will not let our tails alone.
But needs must cut them shorter;
Our very ears are not our own
They crop of quite quarter.

We have to struggle under;
But when It comes to shaving-well,
This is the browning wonder!

American Jokes in ENGLAND.

These American jokes seem to be
good only in the states, don'cher
know? I was dining with an Ameri-
can lawst summer, and after he had
finished his fish he said to the waitah:
Bring me a CLAWS of watah; this fish
wants to swim"
Good joke, bah Jove. When I got
back to Lunnon I tried it at my first
dinnah. We had no fish, so when we
got to the veal chops I said; wait
ah, bring me a CLAWS of watah; this
calf wants to drink" and, don'cher
know, they laughed at me and not at
the joke.

Persistent Ansemia Cured by DE-.

Remedies Had Failed.

"When I began taking DIR. Williams''
Pink Pills" says Mrs. Nathaniel Field,
of st. Adams, Somerset county, Maine,
"I was the palest, most bloodless person
you could imagine. My tongue and
gums were colorless and my fingers and
ears were like wax. I had two doctors
and they pronounced my trouble an8mia.

with gas which caused me awful agony.
The backache I suffered was at times
almost unbearable and the least exertion
made my heart beat so fast that l could
hardly breathe. But the worst of all was
the splitting neuralgia headache which
never left me for seven weeks. About this
time had had several numb spells. My
limbs would be cold and without any
feeling and the most deathly sensations
would come over me-.
"Nothing had helped me until I began
taking Dr. Williams Pink Pills, in fact,
I had grown worse every day. After I
had taken the pills short time I could
see that they were benefiting me and
one morning I awoke entirely free from
pain. The distress after eating disap-
peared and i'll three weeks l could eat

BY Henry G. Farmer.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 6.--Rus-
STA is being deserted by her popu-
lation at a rate crater even than
the general flight from France
during the French revolution.
Cities, provincial districts, and the
smallest villages are all represented
in the hegira. During the past
three months 100000 people have
fed from the country, and the ex-
odus is now proceeding to the ex-
tent of at least $4,000 people a
week.
Everybody who leaves the coun-
try has to receive a permit from
the Russian government. This
aniquated procedure has not yet
been abolished and the passport
bureau of the ST. Petersburg police
department is employing a huge
special staff to deal with applica-
lions for departure papers. The
authorities interpose no obstacles
to those wishing to cross the from
tier. The only rule that has to be
followed is the presentation of a
declaration from the local police
brueau in the district where an in
tending emigrant resides, stating
that there are no police reasons
against the applicant leaving the
country.
Many Russians who do not care
to go abroad, and who at the same
time are afraid to remain in Rus
STA proper, are going to Finland
which is the only peaceful part OF
the czar's dominions. Many thou
sands who cannot afford to leave
the country in any event have ar
ranged to go to Finland if a reign
of terror begins. The local self
government given to the Films has
been followed by entire quiet
throughout the country, which is
now as safe a refuge for the Rus
SLAMS as America.
A large portion of the army OF
emigrants moving toward the from
tier are Jews. Only those who
cannot obtain enough money tC
leave the country, or whose loca

BY HER own PEERS, Be HANGED?

and maintained at any cost, even
of life itself!
There is one reason why in equi-
ty this unhappy young woman
should have a retrial. The consti-
tuition of the United States guaran-
tees to every person within its jur-
isdiction the right of trial by "a
jury of the peers of the accused.
This inalienable right was denied
to this poor young thing. She was
tried by jury of men who cannot
by any possibility be considered
her peers. Politically they are her
superiors and POLITICALLY they are, in
the language of gallantry, her in
feriors.
Every man of them probably con-
sidered the members of his sex so
superior to the members of hers
that it was a sort of lese majestic,
the attack of a subject on a king,
for a woman to kill a man.
What did any one of them care
for his own chastity that he should
feel it worth defending even to the
death?
How much could they realize
what it is to a woman to be hound
ed by man with odious attentions
that terrify her?
Never will there be real justice
in this country, or in the world,
until women have an equal part in
framing and executing the laws.
The pitiful story Of this unhappy
creatures life will soon close. I'M
less a steadfast effort is made to
save her. The execution is fixed
to take place on Jan. II. Such a
little time in which to try to pre-
vent cruel and unjust tragedy!
We have recently been shocked
and sickened by the hanging of a
woman in Vermont with every
horror Of bungled execution!
Must We who are of the silent sex,
with no means to make our voices
heard in the great deliberative
bodies that frame the laws, we who
are the mothers of the race, must
we again be distressed by the tx
ing of a young life, the killing of
faithful wife and a devoted par
ent?

Portable.
This man, Jos. Sonta, had a fam
lily and it never occurred to her
that he had more than a kindly
interest in her. But from the mo-
ment that she became his debtor
he began to force his odious atten-
tons upon her. She resisted him
and evaded him and escaped him,
as a woman will a man whom she
detests, but whom she fears. Her
life was made wretched because
she could not repay him.
Then one day when he forced
himself into her home and demand
ed that he should share it with
her and her husband, when he
sought to inflict upon her the last
degradation, she shot him.
She was at once arrested, and
when asked why she had done this
thing, she replied: What else
could | do?"
To her mind there was no way
of escape from the danger that
threatened her except by making it
impossible.
And so she is to be slain because
she protected her honor. What a
long way have We travelled from

of man and the chastity of a
woman were things to be honored
