X. at home. surely hope so.

don't know whether or not ! have

scales in Russia are balanced.
Russia does not look as old az
expected All the streets are either
mud or cobblestone. There are few
street cars. The horses are all small
and pull from yoke in the form of
an arch around their neclSS All
axles are of wood and are well
creased
The Russian dress is sure queer
saw one fellow, who had a purple
silk shirt on that | would like TO get
my hands on. Some of the girls look
like Yankees in their dress.
The Russian churches have large
globe domes, generally gifted. They
have lots of huge bells, which when
they ring, ring steadily for about
forty minutes. One of the churches
around here has large picture on it.
Looks like a hand painting, but Of
course it isn't because the weather
would soon destroy it. Another
church has pictures of saints all over
one side. There are plenty of wooden
sidewalks around here.
The Russian language Is sure a
tongue twister. Already we have
mastered a few words like good and
no good, thanks, the names Of towns,
cigarettes. dog, etc. They make a
noise like rattlesnake TO stop their
horses
met a fellow from Alma named
Hughes. a sickly looking fellow who
used TO work for a. NJ Wood. and

around town. Maybe you will re-
member him. He Is in another COM
