Mrs. Helen Epp to A. HILBERT, dated,
December 10th, 1910, recorded in

The reasons for making this appli-

wild and uncultivated land, and is so
situated with reference to other tracts
of land adjoining it, that it cannot be
advantageously used by the guardian
for the benefit of his ward, and for
the reason that it yields no rents or
profits, and that the income from the
property in it's present condition is
not sufficient to pay the taxes and
other upkeep of the land.

ten RATS and when they began to place
tins OF bareback on the RATS, a tin to
each, we imagined they were going to
heave US over the side and let us go
on the RATS. But instead they began
telling us we would land In the States
and then they rousted US between
decks again.
We had only been there a short time
when some of the German officers came
down and asked IL any of the men
would volunteer to go firing On the
Yarrowdale and we almost mobbed
them to take us. They began putting
down the m of the men who were
to 60 and I talked them into putting
mine down too. Then / felt about
Eve hundred pounds lighter.
Five o'clock came and by that time
I had forgotten TO do any worrying.
We received our usual rations and
most of us who had volunteered fig
ured that we would receive clothes
and shoes. In the morning an officer
came down below and read out the
names of those who were to 90 and I
felt even lighter when he called mine.
We were each given a life belt and
mustered on deck
The sea was pretty nasty and some
of the men had narrow escapes from
falling between the Moewe and the
lifeboats when the swells rocked US.
One man fell from the ladder and
broke his neck on the gunwale OF the
lIfeboat. They took over boat after
boat to the Yarrowdale until finally
we were all there. Then they mus
tered us on deck and warned us not to
start anything. because the- had G

tants Of Some Parts OF Rural
England.

Superstition dies hard, and in the
out-of-the-way rural districts of Eng
land the people still have a firm be-
lief In herbs and charms as a cure for
their various ills.
In Cheshire. perhaps. such supersti-
lions are most numerous, and q native

ment should never be applied with the
first finger, as that one Is venomous,
and that a child's nails should never
be cut during the first year of its life,
or 1t VIII grow up light fingered.
Most curious, however, are the cures
recommended for whooping cough. A
lock Of hair should be cut from the
sufferers head, and put into a hole
bored In the bark Of q mountain ash,
after which the hole should be closed.

Many strange cures are suggested
for ague. In Lincolnshire, for instance.
the method is very elaborate. The suf-
fcrer should get up at sunrise on the
FIRST day of the month, making sure
his pockets are empty, take a carving
knife that he has bought and used him
self, plunge 1t into an ant hill. and
twist the knife as many times as he
has had tits. Then. lying fiat on the

and so on. Even allowing for the de-
probation Of the paper ruble, the rates
are very high.
Rough Country Without Roads.
Alexandrovsk, the naval station on
Ekaterina harbor, was during the war
q depot of British submarines and
other mosquito craft. When Russia
fell to pieces at the revolution, and
Finland became a German vassal state,
1t was to be expected that an attempt
would be made to seize the Thurman
coast. Hopes were held out to Fin
land of acquiring an ice-free exit to
the Arctic ocean.
The difficulties in the way Of an ex-
petition to the Thurman region are
great. The country is practically I'M
inhabited, so that a military force
must take its own supplies. There
are no roads, and the country to be
traversed is largely mountainous, In
t~erspersed with tracts of forest and
marsh, presenting many obstacles to
military operations, apart from the
arctic climate. On the coast, 1t may
be mentioned, the climate is decidedly
milder than in the interior.
Kola, the port near Murmansk, where
Americans, British and French marines
landed in order to protect munitions
and provisions originally intended for
the Russian government, is situated
at the junction Of the Kola and Tulo-
ma rivers. Before the war 1t had
only about 600 inhabitants, according
to a war geography bulletin of the Ma.
tional Geographic society.
In peace times the chief occupation
of the people Of Kola is fishing, which
Is proftably followed by the natives
from May to August. Kola is well
within the arctic circle, being in lat
itude 6S minutes 80 seconds. 1t is
335 miles westward Of Archangel, the
great White sea port of Russia.
The Peninsula of Kola constitutes
the major part of what is known as
Russian Lapland. 1t is bounded on
the north by the Arctic ocean and on
the south bysthe White sea. It's ares
equals that Of the state of New York
and Is largely a plateau having an av.
erage elevation of 1000 feet.

CHAPTER XVII.



They had a coolie crew on the Var.
rowdale and when they routed them
on deck the coolies began to pray, and
though 1t Is nothing to laugh at l could
not help but chuckle at the way some
of them went about talking to their
various gods. They were beginning to
smell danger and were pretty nervous.
Every one Of the coolies had a cane
and a pair of Palm Beach trousers.
The Huns were loading them in the
lifeboats to be taken back to the
Moewe with their sea bags and n of
them got toe nervous and was slow
about getting into the lifeboat, so the
Germans shot him without saying a
word.
Then the Germans called out the
names Of those who had volunteered to
go stocking and this included me. We
were drilled down the fddley into the
fire Dom The iddley is a shaft that
runs from the main deck of a ship to
the engine room. I looked around a
bit and saw a German standing not
very far from the fiddley. so l asked
him If we would be given shoes. He
said no. Then / asked him If we had
to fire In our fare feet and he said
yes-that we did not need shoes. Then
he went into the engine room.
I looked at the narrow passage he
went through and at the narrow pas

and I tolkad RI INV faat IiGa 7 Mood IN

duty" They did 1t and / flew up the
fddley. / never wanted to see that
stoke hole again.
I sneaked up to where the rest OF
the fellows were and the guards
drilled us into No. 4 hold. There was
nothing but ammunition In it. They
battened the matches down on us,
which made the hold waterproof. And
