FLOWERS in Siberia

Amidst the filth. squalor and

something which seems devoid OF
all these, and which speaks to this
desOlate country of a better day.
After months of snow and ice and
within a week from the time the
snow has disappeared, spring be-
gins and with it come the flowers
Spring and summer and autumn
are all one in Siberia-there is no
time for them all: brief six
months is the most which nature
allows, and so they have to cram
into that space everything they
can.
The chief flowers are anemones.
irises and lilies-o -the-valley. All
of them, especially the latter, grow
wild in great profusion, and the
whole world seems to smell of ILL
les for brief two or three weeks.
Travelling between Vladivostok
and Hardin little semi-Chinese,
Russian boys bring great lunches
of lilies-of-the-valley to the trains,
which can be bought for few
cents. They start perhaps by ask,
ing 10 cents for a basket or its
equivalent, nowadays, of four to
five rubles. This you refuse and
pass on to the next door. Then
the whistle blows, and the boys
rush up to you shouting Three
rubles, two rubles," Still YOU
take no notice; then you Chamber
on the train, which very slowly
crawls out of the station. and you
eventually buy as many lilies as
you can carry for one ruble, the
boy being perfectly content, and
you, thinking of the prices in Fifth
Avenue, are also happy in the
thought of your possession-Chris-

Ais Well That Ends Well

Paper Sir, only two cents; all
about the war;" called a little shiv-
ering cripple on Fifth Ave Mr..
! Carson, for this was the name of
the gentleman addressed, passed
on as many others had done that
evening All he saw was a small
boy OF about ten years, very poorly
clad. He did not see the sad pa
thetic look on the face of the lad
as he passed on. He did not notice
that although the clothes were
patched and worn; they were
brushed and clean. Mr.. Carson
was not hard hearted. No, indeed
for he had once lite boy 1t was
about this he was now thinking. So
absorbed was he that he hardly
noticed Jimmy Rallies as he con-
tinued his walk homeward.
1t was a sad home he went to
that night. His wife, a pale faced
gentle little woman could not think
of anything but her own son, Ned
tonight and Of the servant girl
who disappeared on the same
night. Clues were found but all
failed to lift the cloud from the sad
hearts of the parents. At the en-
try of her husband, Mrs. Carson
started, for on this very morning
another clue had come in. But
soon all hope vanished for his ap-
preaching steps told her that his
heart was heavy. And she was
right, the clue was only like a
shooting star.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carson retired with
heavy hearts-almost wishing they
would not awake.
But there were other sad hearts
tonight for as we go back to our
little newsboy, we find MIN still
employed at his post. No moon
had arisen tonight and the snow
was falling in a sheet. 1t seemed
to Jimmy that God had almost for
gotten him. Crippled and cold he
turned bis weary steps homeward.
His thoughts were of his mother,
(the only mother he knew who
was very sick He soon reached
neat, but poorly built house.
"How's mamma?" he asked of
kind faced woman as soon as he
entered. His sorrow deepened on
hearing that his mother was no bet
ter. Mrs Rallies had terrible dis
ease. She had kept up as long as
possible, but at last had to give up.

taken her in, but she was poor so

When old King kertzie saw the

who they were and when he saw

has the warrior. Just then a
scream came from the King Kert-

warrior had felled all the Puppets

high above his head but lo!-the

heard in the castle. All ran to see,

was broken into pieces. The evil
spell was broken and the King
Kertzie looked at Rooer proudly
and putting his arms about him

saved his life. his daughters life

A wedding was performed in the
Holy church, it was the wedding of

smile on his face looked at them.
KOr was sitting on a crimson seat,
his left arm bandaged He had
been shot thru it by an arrow. He
was smiling too. That night two
young people. the Princess and her
husband were looking at the full
