The police, strange to say, raised no
objections to the jubilee in the grave
yard. They allowed the caterers wag-
ons to unload huge piles of eatables
and great baskets filled to the brlm
with bottles of strong vodka. They
allowed the guests-the queerest as
semblage in the city-to gather to the
number of round thousand. and, fur
thermore, they raised no objections to
the graves and gravestones being used

FEAST FOR BECCARS,
Russian Tramp King EmuIated
Chicago's Hobo Banquet.
JUBILEE HELD IN A CEMETERY
Sumptuous Repast Laid on Gravestones
In St. Petersbuse-PIenty to Drink,
but No Drunkenness or Unseemly
kose-Cost Estimated at $500.

From faroff Chicago there came to
st. Petersburg. the capital of all the
Russias. the tale Of the great banquet
to American tramps and beggars,
writes St Petersburg correspondent
Of the New York Press No doubt the
gayety and magnlficence of DR.. Reit-
mans spread to hoboes were much dis
tortsd when the story reached the ears
of Russian beggars. Yet 1t made an
impression, and especially on Ivan
StepanOtf, the king Of Russian beg
gars. Ivan the other day celebrated
the thirty fifth anniversary of his rule.
This king of the underworld was
most anxious to celebrate the event i'll
an up to date manner, and 50 the mo-
ment he heard Of the Chicago feast he
decided that he would follow suit and
give gorgeous banquet.
Those familiar with Russia and
Russian life know that one of the fea-
lures of the land is the army Of beg
gars. There is no charity organiza-
tion society to bother, and the police
are friendly-so friendly, in fact, that
there is probability that the beggars
either pay u gOodly percentage or buy
outright from the police their numer-
Gus stands in the streets Of the cities.
Ivan Stepanotf Is man of siXty-a

Bakers cabin WAS the scene OF many
MI exciting skirmish. aHd the foresight
Of the old trapper In building the queer
lookout on his house WAS more Than
once rewarded when he headed of In
dians who sought to surprise him. In
1859 Baker entered the service Of the
government us scout. and for several
years he was looked upon as one of the
greatest scouts and guides in the serv-
Ice of the army. The Pixies peak ex-
element drew him TO Denver and in
1859 he built n home on Clear creek,
not far from the present capital Of Col
orado. Here he remained until 1873,
when he Went back to his first love. the
Little Snake river valley.
Baker. like the other old trappers of
his day. had several Indian wives.
Many OF his children live in Colorado
and Wyoming and are proud Of him.

came the time for the cemetery 10 be
closed for the night. There was no un-
seenly noise. Each party VI junketers
had its own merriment: but. although
the vodka was plentiful. there were no
drunkards and no rOwdies Ia the crowd.
Ivan StepanoT announced early In
the day with much eclat that Ia view Of
the festivities he w.uld abstain from
impOrtuniug strangers for aims for
that day. the first day Ia thirty-tiye
years in which he had not attended to
his business.
Toward closing time StepanOff mar
shaled his guests in small parties and
conducted them 10 the gates. From
there they vanished TO their holes.
IL is estimated that the celebration
cost the king OF beggars fully $500
But he is plying his trade more vigor-
ously than ever and may soon make
up this.
Although this is the first beggars' ban
quet In Russia, there are now likely to
be others. Chicago has evidently sowed
a seed which promises to be fruitful.

God help the boy who never sees
The butterflies, the birds, the bees,
Nor hears the music of the breeze
When zephyrs soft are blowing;
Who cannot in sweet comfort lie
Where clover blooms are thick and
high
And hear the gentle murmur nigh
OF brooklets softly flowing.
God help the boy who does not know
Where all the woodland berries grow:
Who never sees the forests glow
When leaves are red and yellow:
Whose childish feet can never strayl
For such a hapless boy say
When nature does her charms display
God help the little fellow!

A portly German Of obvious Hebraic
ancestry boarded Broadway car. He
handed the conductor--a ruddy faced
lrishman-a transfer not good on that
particular line. The inevitable wrangle
followed, in which much vehement Ian
guage found expression, colored with a
strong Hibernian flavor and an un-
mistakable Teutonic accent
At length the fat German rose, but
before he left the car shook his fist In

not yet lost your broc-que." e."-Lippin-
