When a year ago the earthquake

chord in the hearts OF a particular
class Of people in America. There
were the Italians who themselves in
years past lived in and emigrated
from Avezzano or the country imme-
diately around it. Thousands of these
persons still had relatives there. and

A certain little Philadelphia girl is
distinguished chiefly by her fondness
for cats and kittens. which she much
prefers to dolls.
Several days ago she was sitting on
the sunny steps of the front porch,
tenderly nursing on her lap a coal
black kitten; very small as yet, but
stu and full of promise.
What pretty kitten!" remarked
neighbor in passing. What do you
call him. my dear?"
L call him Allies" was the reply.
Allies! l think you must mean

lady with a smile.

load for such little fellow TO carry,

AS the lady proceeded up the
street, she heard childish voice say
tenderly: Come, Allies, we must go
in. II is time for you to have your
rations."

half that time. There are at present
studying English in Japan proper. in

bristle with a fierce independence.
must burn with a passion for war.
And thus in the tale of the Cossack
and his sweetheart, when we find Os-
tap ready to thrust aside the sword
for the love of Marienka. we must
see in his abandonment of the fight
the greatest sacrifice possible to
Cossack. We come to the marriage
Of Ostap and Marienka. At this mo-
ment troop OF Cossacks is going by,
within Ostap's hearing. The latter.
despite all vows, seizes his white
steed. jumps on his back and makes
mad dash across hedges, bitches and
reaches the plain where the Cossack
army is on the march. The war-god
has claimed his own. Day by day
Marienka watches for tine return of
her sweetheart, and at last the army
comes back. But ostap is no longer
alive. Marienka takes one look at
the corpse, brought back with full
honors. She smiles sadly. signs. falls
and expires.
For to Cossacks the war passion is
even stronger than that of love. Most
of the regular Cossacks, Pascal tells
us, form really a OBLIGATORY corpora
ton. Not that this should betoken
any confluence on their part. II is
the freedom from domestic ties rather
than any absence of sensuality which
is thus denoted
So strong is the appetite for drink

horses are really part OF their very

Bohdan Chmielnicki (164S-165D is the
subject of Sienkiewicz's widely;read
novel, by Fire and Sword" The
Cossaeks of the Don gave Russia No
little trouble. Under the leadership
of Stenka Razine, who promised free
dom to all who would follow his
standard, the Cossacks rallied faith
fully to battle. AS with all such fig
ures, legends have grown up around
Razine, one of which imputes to him
a felt cap which rendered him invis-
ible. He was finally captured in 1911,
dying by torture without so much
as a murmur.
For long time the death of the
famous leader was doubted, and le-
gend has 1t that he made various APP
pearances, now among Russian sail
ors, among Persian prisoners and on
the Caspian sea. He is here repre-
scented as a white-haired old man.
