sat on the steps al midnight
Watching the stars in the sky

And the daylight fade and die
No one came to bother me
So thought in my lonely place
OF the events that came upon me.
To doom me with disgrace.
oh, for the days Of my childhood
In n-hundred-three
When the boys all swarmed around
me
And called me gay Marie.
But now l sit and grieve
Till the stars and moon have gone
And the sun comes up and shines or

RUSSIA NOW FACES
 RAILROAD PROBLEM
Use of Freight and Passenger Cars As Dwellings Cause Serious
 Shortages On All Lines.

Vladivostoll, Oct. 8, (By the Asso- ciated Press. )-The inter-allied rail- road commission is considering meas ures to cope with the problem of the shortage of railway cars for the Trans-SlbeTian railway which con- tinues to be serious as winter ap- breaches, owing to the long blocks on the railroad and to the large number of freight cars and even passenger cars side-tracl<ed at various points along the line and occupied as dwell ings by refugees.
 The line beyond Irl1tuslI is often blocked for days at time so that great numbers of cars are held inac tive between terminals It is eStimat- ed that 1000 to 0,000 cars are still occupied by refugees and kept out of service.
 Danger of the expected coal fam inc at VladiVostok had been eliminat- ed it is believed by the prospective reopening of the branch railway to the Suchan coal mines within d few weeks. Freight traffic along this line has been impossible since early last summer, having been interrupted at the time of the clash between American troops and the Bolsheviki

 Topic for Tonight.

Record breaking attendances are recorded nightly at the mission being conducted in St. Mary's church by the Passionist Order from Boston. Fully 1,SOO women occupied seats in the auditorium, gallery and sanctuary of the church last night and listened to Father Damin'S instruction and Father Bonaventum' sermon.

 Instructions on the doctrines and preachings of faith are being given in the morning and before the sermon in the evening. The fathers have a m OSt convincing way of presenting religious truth to their hearers and they make a powerful appeal when they urge the acceptance of the more Weighty be- liefS.
