Winter Ia Russia.


What winter can be like in Russia
was discovered by Napoleon in 1912
and by Charles XII. Of Sweden a Gen.
tury earlier. Charles made a success:
full drive into Russia in 17OS, but win
ter overlook him In October. The cold
was so intense that wood could not be
made to ignite in the open air. Wine
and spirits froze, birds fell dead on the
wing, saliva CONCEALED on the mems
lips. Says one who went through that
terrible winter with the Swedish army,
"You could see some without hands.
some without feet, some without ears
and noses, unable to walk upright, but

The Mankato Free Press, which pre-
tends to oracular powers on many SUBJ

wants the board of parole abolished

the Free Press did not know that the
board Of pardons had committed the

the case and its circumstances: that
the board of pardons was then COM
posed of Governor Hammond, Chief
Justice Brown and Attorney General
Smith, as conscientious a board AZ the

who brought the case before the board
