reliable firearms and eternal vigilance

make all warnings ridiculous. Every

tion.. French cuisines, steam heated

Makes Its Own Commerce.
The Amur Is the Mississippi of ST.
IBERIA, 1t makes it's own commerce,
since the fertile plain through which
it runs supplies the basis of the trade
which it transports. For distance of
perhaps 1000 miles the river is nav
igable and is piled almost daily by
government and private steamers of
luxurious passenger accommodation
and with a great carrying trade.
Entering Siberia at Vladivostok, my
first objective point was Khabarovsk
on the Amur For some hours the
train traversed the famous trans
Siberian route and then at Nikoisk
shot off to the north, independently.
I say shot off" inadvertentlyv-there

Whether it was professed milk

all possible resemblance to an Arkan-

sparsely populated.

wonders of the country. From the car

Man and His Rush.

First he swan, then learned to crawl
Next upon all fours he went.
Then walked upright. slim and tall.
Still he harbored discomfort.
Having learned to ride astride.
He began to put on style,
And was filled with foolish pride.
AS he gelloped-for a while.
But in time there came once more
That old discomfort of his,
That old restlessness; therefore,
He at length began to whiz.
Though he zipps along on wheels.
He has not yet ceased to sigh:
He must mount the air, he feels
Wild desires now to fly.
After he has found his wings
What will he his next desire:
Unto what more speedy things
VIII he. ten years hence, aspire?
