Russian Girls on Begging Tour.

Geneva.-Coming from French ter
ritory, band of nomad Russian girls,
fourteen to twenty years old, and who
were headed by two Old women, have
entered Swiss territory over the Col
des Roches, on their way to Neucha-
tel. They were arrested by Swiss gen.
darmes, and the old women explained
in broken German that their fathers,
husbands and brothers had been killed
in the Russo-Japanese war, or had
been exiled to Siberia, and as they
could not obtain living in Russia
they had undertaken begging tour
in Europe.
The story happens to be true. but
how the band of girls crossed the
Russo-German and French frontiers
without any papers or passports is a
mystery.

New York.-On the afternoon OF
the 18th of July, after ten days sail

Next morning | walked through the
principal streets of the city, and saw
the historic walls, which,, mounted
with cannon as of old, still stand as
sullen reminders of the memorable
conflicts they once witnessed. The
walls originally Enclosed the city,
which has since extended its bounda-
ries beyond them. 1t is not great
industrial city. 1t has few short
factories, which employ few thou
sand women, but it has no employ
ment for the men except casual dock
labor; a state of things which results
in many cases in the wife being
the bread winner and the husband the
housekeeper. There are far too many
hard-faced beggars to be seen on the
streets, and undoubtedly the precari'
Gus nature of the dock work allows
too many opportunities for workmen
to become loafers and tapsters. Ac-
cording to one of the members of the
Royal Irish constabulary with whom
talked, Derry is the worst town in
Ireland in a moral aspect. The low
groggeries and lodging houses in
which the city abounds lend color to
this accusation.

meeting was not held in Derry that
day, but in a place called Raphoe,

Ghosts For Two

BY JOHN PHILIP ORTIZ

There was Miss Kitty Vernon, visit
ing her married sister at Keith Hall,
far out in the country, and there was
Mr.. Jack ST. Clair, stopping at his
brothers place, three miles from
Keith Hall, for the fall hunting and
shooting. Only three miles apart, and
Miss Kitty galloping over the high
ways on her pony, and Jack roaming
about on foot, and yet three long
weeks had passed and the two had
not caught sight of each other.
There is much talk about magnetic
attraction, but the weather is some
times against it, or there is range Of
hills to carry the current off at a
tangent.
Jack st. Clair was poor shot and
worse fisherman. 1t is just such fell
lows that go sloshing around and
spoil the fun for others When q
snipe has been shot at 40 or so times
without being even grazed he flies
away to Canada for a rest, and the
fish who has been permitted to eat
all the bait off hook time after time
without being caught finally seeks
other waters where there is some
thing doing.
When Jack came home from his all
day excursions without so much as a
birds tail-feather or the scale of
fish his sister-in-law would say to
him:
why not give it up"
why should II"
Give it up and spend your time
looking for wife, You are twenty
five years old, fairly wealthy, and It's
time you settled down"
but am looking. That's one good
thing about the country-you can look
for snipe, fish and wife at the same
time. No lost hours. If you don't get
snipe you may get fish. If you don't
get fish you may meet a caulsel in
distress and rescue her and marry
her"
Miss Kitty Vernon was not much OF
a horsewoman. When riding in the
city park her horse was used to the
paths and sights and cantered along
