ARCHANCE;L. HAS
FEARFUL TALES
OF B0LSHEW'N.
Russian Nightmare is Col
urnn Of Convict's
Stories.

Archangel, Jan. 16.-Tales Of hor-
| rors within the territory controlled
by the Bolshevik government are
brought here almost daily by some
I adventurous Russian, often a young
officer who has made his way through
the Bolshevik lines. These stories are
published in the Archangel newspa-
pers under the headline. The Rus
sian Nightmare"
Two Of the members Of the Arch
angel City Duma who recently return-
taken under arrest, quoted Nikolai
Lenine. the Bolshevik premier as say
ing: ''Our days are numbered. We
know that, but, in leaving the power,
we will shut the doors in a way to
make Europe shudder."
One Of the Archangel papers says
that the record of the Central ALL
Russian Investigation commission is
one of ~tortures and horrors. Arrest
ed people, it adds, disappear by
groups. Agents of the German gem
eral staff are working in the commits
sion. People are shot in the building
Of the commission itself and in groups
Of 20 to 80 at a time. Those who
come in order to inquire about arrest
ed relatives are themselves arrested
and disappear. Only those who can
afford to pay a large sum Of money
are liberated. For 10000 or $4,000
rubles one can save his life. Trotzky,
formerly foreign minister, has lost all
sympathies among the working men,
but Lenine still has great success in
some places" 81
One Bolshevik. member Of the Gen.
trail Soviet, Comrade Zinovieff, is
quoted as saying in a speech: "1f you
come to Petrograd you will see the
b%ourgeoise paying the court Of
Smolny Institute, unloading the ships
on the Neva and cleaning the bar
racks. Winter clothes are being re-
in Petrograd. The bour-
geois fur coats will not exactly fit the
Red Guards but they will patiently
bear this inconvenience. On the Ural
front we have already distributed
among the Red Guards 600 suits and
o%vercoats belonging to the Romanoffs.
The bourgeoise must disappear in a
Socialistic state. If we go on steadily
We will soon teach the Russian
b~ourgeoise what it ought to be and
after that the bourgeoise Of the
world"

The Boy Trappcr is Disappointed.

Now the Country Boy was awake
before the sun was up. the next morn
ing. And he could hardly wait to
dress, he vas in such a hurry to go
to Mirror Pond, to get the Beaver
| which he was SURE would be caught in
his steel trap.
He ran all the way. for he was
afraid the Beaver would get out Of
his trap, before he got there. And
when he got near the dam he ex-
claimed. Well. I've got my Beaver
and 1 see the legs Of the Beaver stick
ing in the. trap
The Country Boy scrambled up on
the dam, to get the Beaver. And
what do you suppose was in his trap
this time Why some sticks had been
stuck in the trap, and had hit the lit
tie pan that had sprung the trap!
The Country Boy was very angry,
for he said to himself, II know some
mean Trapper has been here, and has
done this trick to injure my business,
so that he can catch all the Beavers"
But the Country Boy was plucky, too,
and he said, well, I'll fool that
tricky Trapper and I'll set my trap in
another place." .
So he set the trap this time under
water, in the little footpath that Fa-
ther Beaver and his family used every
night in going to the poplar grove to
cut down trees.
You see, this little foot-path led
down the bank into Mirror Pond;
and the trap was set cleverly in the
shallow water in the edge Of the
Pond, where the Beavers walked out
of the water to climb up the bank.
It did look very bad indeed for the
Beavers.
The Country Boy hen went back
to his camp and said to the Lumber
men: Look here, 1 want to show you,
these sticks, which I found in my
trap. Some mean Trapper is trying
to injure my business, and he stuck
these sticks in my trap and then
sprung it, so he could catch all the
Beavers himself"

COUNTRY NOT RIGHTLY NAMED
iceland by No Means the Barren
Waste Which AppeIiatIon Would
Seem to imply.

Iceland suggests to many people @
land of glacial coldness populated by
fur-clad shiyering natives probably
kskimoS. The real Icelander wears
clothes no warmer than those needed
IN Canada. His winters are usually
no more severe than those Of Canada.
The lcelander is not an Eskimo He
is descehfnnt Of the fair-haired vIk-
ings Nothing excites an Icelander
more than 10 have some one pleasant.
~ ask him If 1t is ever warm In Ice
land and If any flowers grow there.
That Iceland Is so misunderstood Is
entirely the fault of the Morse explor-
ers who landed OF the island and felt
obliged to name It AS 1t was q cold
day and the land was frozen beneath
q blanket of snow, they thoughtlessIy
called 1t Iceland and departed hastily.
Had they first visited the island on a
spring day, when the wind blew across
the broad plains, they might have felt
the vastness of the place and with
equal carelessness called 1t Greatland.
The name Iceland was officially adopt
ed and instantly became the islands
hoodoo
Summer In Iceland !s warm, some
times hot In June the sun pours
down upon the plains continuously
save for a few minutes at midnight
Another unicelandic phase Of Iceland
are the hot springs which spout up
Steaming water. To this hot water
supply the women carry their wash
ing as matter of convenience.
Iceland Is not land Of luxuriant
vegetation or perfect climate. II is q
fairly prosperous little country that
struggles bravely against its handt I
caps. not the least Of which is the
worlds attitude Of persistent misun
derstanding.
