NOTED PORT OF WANDERERS
samara, on the VoIga, Long the Lure of Nomadic PeopIe-its
 Past History.

Samara, the Volga port, seems to offer peculiar significance for the wanderers of the world. Through the years, says The Villager, the district has been an especial lure for nomadic peoples; the fierce tribe of Bulgars occupied it until the thirteenth cen tury and were followed by the Mon gols, and when the power of the Col den Horde had waned the VOlga bank was still ravaged by Bashkirs, Kal- mucks and Nogal Tartars; the insti- tuition of the city of Samara itself was for the protection of the Russian en- pire's frontiers against the depreda- tiOns of these nomadic marauders from the steppes.
 In the effort to stabilize this border region and make it solid bulwark, Catherine II offered Germans of Wuertemburg and Baden special priv ileges for settlement here; today as much German as Russian may be heard in the streets of Samara.
 Yet. after all the centuries of effort, the city is again swept by wanderers, fighting hordes who know no military base" gypsy warriors who have tray erSed the Siberian cXpanSe without baggage and without plan of cam paign, with no orders save their own impulse, with no responsibilities save their own purpose; their exploit will go down into history with full as much picturesqueness as that of Genghlz Kahn's followers and with far more honor.

RANKED WITH GREAT POETS
John Greenieaf Whittier Has Written His Name Among the lmmortals
 of the Earth.

John Greenleaf Whittier. one of the best loved and most famous of Amer ican poets, and. perhaps, the most ar dent abolitionist known to United States history, was born December IT near Haverhill. Mass. He was appren- ticed to Journalism and became an ed itor at the early age of twenty-two. He held various editorial positions, and throughout his life devoted himself to the writing of both prose and poetry, having DO doubt a deep inspiration in that he belonged to the same age that gave Emerson and Longfellow to Amer lea and Tennyson and the Brownings to England. With such as his cOntem- poraries Whittier, being himself bless ed with natural talents, could do no less than what he did in literature.
 Whittier, however. is better known to fame because of his poems. His prose is not so exalted, though true. He wrote "My Psalm." Barclay of Ury," Barbara Frietchie," "At Sun- down" and various other wonderful poems. He lived to be eighty-fve years old. dying peacefully September 2, 1892
