QUIET RUSSIAN CHRISTMAS
Day Given Over to Old-Time Hospi-
tality, Even the Guns of the Rad
ieal Press Being Silenced.

ST. Petersburg, Jan. Fine snow
sitting down from a cold sky furnished
ideal weather for the Russian Christ
mas so far as st. Petersburg was con-
cerned. All the theatres and other
places of public amusement, even the
restaurants, were closed and the day
was given up to the prOverbial Rus
sian hospitality. The dissensiOns which
have torn and distracted the country
seemed to have disappeared for the
moment and even the radical neWsDa-
pers, animated by the sentiment of
peace and good will to all, silenced
their guns.
The day passed quietly and without
untoward incident. The religious ser
vices in the churches were largely at
tended.
At the palace at Tsarskoe-Selo, the
emperor himself presided at the Christ
mas tree. Later, accompanied by the
imperial children, his majesty visited
the quarters of his imperial CoSsack
escort, to the members Of which he
distributed presents.

I'VE want those people to see some
thing else besides oCr scenic wonders;
we don't want them to see a country
that is only 'half-baked' as to the
things which they regard as essen
tials; we don't want to show them a
country that is down at the heel be-
cause we have not had time to dress
it properly. We do want to interest
them in our resources, our oppor-
tunities and our responsibilities, so
that they will wish, above all things
else, to stay with us, to invest their
money with US, to do business with us,
and in the best and most complete
sense of the term, to become one of
US Then they will enjoy themselves,
which is better than if we give them
only natural attractions for their
