BY ORDER OF CZAR

Nicholas Savin, Adventurer, Released From Riga Prison. International Swindler, “Mart of the Hour" In Russlc, Hw Earns Honest Living—-Was Street Car Conductor in Chicago. Moscow. —Nicholas Savin, the notorious Russian adventurer who calls himself Count Nicholas de ToulouseLautrec, has been released from prison in Riga by the czar’s manifesto of March 5. When the count came otft of prison he had only three rubles in his pocket. He has earned 5,000 rubles so far. A Moscow newspaper is publishing his diary and a cinematograph flrm has paid him $1,500 for films illustrating his life. In Russia he is the man of the) hour. He is known to the police all over Europe and America as an exceedingly accomplished swindler, who speaks half a dozen languages and whose specialty is the passing off on the guileless of forged bonds and securities. He accounts for all the records of charges and convictions against him in various parts of the globe in two ingenious ways. Either they were crimes committed by a cousin who is remarkably like I him or he says they were charges trumped up against him by the Russian secret police in order to get rid of a dangerous nihilist According to his own story, he took part in the Russo-Turkish war of 1877 Z / ftp ~ y / ■ Mfr Czar of Russia. and was severely wounded at Plevna. There is some ground for doubting this account, for he received no medal and no wound pension. All that is known is that in 1878 he gave up his commission. When Savin was on trial at Pau in 1908 for swindling ne told the same story of being wounded at Plevna as well as at Santiago de Cuba The French court ordered the prison doctor to examine his “wounds.” The doctor reported that there certainly were scars visible, but they were received in battles other than those of -war. After a thrilling escape from the French gendarmerie he fled to the Balkans, where he enlivened proceedings by presenting himself as a candidate for the Bulgarian throne. His schemes, however, were frustrated by a Moscow barber, to whom he owed money, and who, happening to be in Constantinople at the same time, gave information to the Russian - embassy as to Savin’s Identity. The luckless adventurer was sent to Narim, a desolate convict settlement in Siberia, but within three months he succeeded in escaping. Afterward he lived in Chicago, where he worked as a car conductor and was naturalized as an American, citizen. He was married in Canada and arrested and sentenced there for dealing in forged bonds in 1900 and has since been arrested in New York, Lisbon, Finland and Pau. He tells

Chester, Pa.—Superstitious people of this city believe that the whale which was recently seen in Delaware bay is a precursor of war. They refer to past omens of a similar charae ter, reciting that the whale whict came up the Delaware river in 1811 was a precursor of the War of 1818, and that in 1860, one year before the outbreak of the Civil war, a whale came up these waters to Philadelphia. This latter whale Edward Culen, a veteran fisherman of this city, avers he saw. He says: “It was just this way. It was during the summer of 1860. Horace Davis and I were out in a boat fishing. It was a little dark, and we had a lantern. I was drawing in the net and Davis was banking ’it. All of a sudden Davis said: ‘Ned, there’s vessel upside down out there.’ I looked and saw a thing that had the appearance of the hull of a craft upset. ‘See how swift the tide speeds by it,’ said Davis. “We’d got pretty close to it then, and I lifted the lantern to take a good look. Just then there was a terrible splash and the water went clear up into the air out of that thing, just as though a powder magazine had busted; { “I dropped the lantern, and Davis and I grabbed the oars, and we didn't stop until we got ashore. There wasn’t any steamboat on the river that could have beaten us that trip. When

COYOTES ARE NEARLY EXTINCT

Closed Ranges and Bounties on Scalps Causing Extermination of Animal. Cottonwood Falls, Kan.—According to stock raisers and farmers of this county the coyote seems to be fast becoming extinct. The fencing up of the big pasture districts in this and neighboring counties, where practically every acre is now stocked with cattle, has robbed the coyote ot his once free and open range. Because ot his depredations on young and helpless domestic stock a bounty has been set on his head and he has long been a fugitive, hunted and killed by every farmer. The bounty of a dollar which is paid by the county for every coyote scalp turned in probably more than any other cause is responsible for the decreasing wolf population. In order to get the reward many farmers, and especially the farmer boys, not only trap and kill coyotes whenever the opportunity comes, but have made a practice of hunting the coyotes’ dens and robbing them of their young. For the scalp of a baby wolf, though only a few weeks old and innocent of any wrongdoing, is the same in the eyes of the law as would be that of a veteran chicken killer. • Only a few years ago the county money paid out in this county alone for coyotes ran as high as S3OO or S4OO annually. Now, it is said, the number will hardly reach 100 a year. The bringing in of a dozen or more scalps by one farmer, which was once so common, no longer occurs. The greater part of these bounties are collected in the spring months before the mother wolf has left her den with her family. So persistently have the farmers carried on the warfare of extermination that the coyotes which rear thsir families in safety must be cunning indeed. Though this may seem cruel, yet from long experience the farmers have found that in a stock-raising country the coyote has no place. Were they left to multiply even for a few years so great

Mr. William K. Radford will answer juestlons and give advice FREE OF JOST on all subjects pertaining to the lubject of building, for the readers of this >aper. On account of his wide experience is Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he a. without doubt, the highest authority »n all these subjects. Address all inquiries » William A. Radford.

It often seems that the style or appearance of the house doesn’t make so much difference as the site on which it’yls built. In every town and village there are examples that prove this. are dellghtfiHUittle places set back gmong shade treeaand flowers, which/ give one a restful?) home-like feeling Just by walking pait; yet the housals really very ordinary tn design. Then one of this kind there is one of the other sort to keep the balance, probably. Every town has .them —the house is large and pompous, quite an architectural creation in fact, but it is set down onto a small lot, crowded in, with all the trees and shrubbery cat down to make room for it. In spite of its size and cost a residence of this kind is very tar from attractive. The home builder would not knowingly take such as a model: yet, many times he does because he does not understand the real elements of success in planning an attractive home; and a barren uninviting place is the result. The experienced home builder will always, if possible, select a rough and wooded site; if it is slightly hilly so much the better. The labor and expense, it is true, for grading and preparing the site for the building, and for smoothing up the ground afterwards are greater; but the satisfac-

tion and success of the project is also greater and the attractiveness of the place increases the years go by, while the extra, labor at the beginning Is very soon forgotten. Almost any style of house harmonizes well with such surroundings and is improved in appearance by the natural beauties of the building site. Some materials and some styles of domestic architecture seem especially well suited, however, for such use. The accompanying design is one of these. It is planned something on the bungalow order, with prominent roof, broad on the ground and not overly high. A distinctive feature of this design is the use of cobble stones in the large chimney and fire place. These could also be employed very effectively for the foundation of the building.,. A cobble stone wall can be made very attractive if the man laying it properly understands the work. In any kind of stone work the mason must use his head as well as his hands. The more variety of color, shape and size can be obtained the more attractive appearance will a cobble stone wall present. The stone -SU-. . . ***** * •B? ■: T I First Floor Plan. should be rather large and laid at random, not in rows, and should fit together closely, so that few of the montar joints are more than one-half inch thick. The stones should stand out prominently and should not be plastered to a smooth surface with mortar, neither should any broken edges be visible. A good workman, by the proper use of cobble stones, as shown In this design, can secure a very ornamental effect and one exactly in keeping with the general atmosphere of the rustic site on which the house is built. For the walls of this house either clap-boards or shingles may be used. Shingles are always appropriate for the walls of a house of simple design, especially In connection with cobble stone work. There are various pleasing ways In which may be laid to' suit those who consider the ordinary method of laying the shingles In uniform rows, five Inches to the weather, too monotonous. A pleasing variation Is to place the shingles tn alternate rows of two and eight Inches to the weather. This requires no more material or labor and gives a very attractive appearance. The shingles on the roof, however, should always be laid In the regular way. A glance at the floor plans will show a very convenient and comfortable arrangement of space In this house.

There is a large central hall, with a living room occupying the entire space at the left, while the dining room with the kitchen back of it is at the right. On the second floor there are three bedrooms and a bath room, also four clothes x closets. It is a design and arrangement that would be hard to improve upon for any one desiring a comfortable residence of artistic appearance. The cost I F-dSE-I )i Lg • ! ................ 4 Second Floor Plan. is estimated at $4,000 Including a good grade of plumbing and lighting and first class basement heating plant EATABLES MANY AND VARIED What One Race Looks Upon With Loathing May Be Considered a Delicacy by Others. It is a fact that grasshoppers from an early time were regarded as a favorite food by the Israelites. They were called under the more familiar name locust, which resembles the grasshopper so closely that in mod-

era times they would have passed for one. Tho favorite way of preparing them was to crush them with wine or boll them in hot water and dry them in the sun. They formed a salad course of many a famous dinner in the old, old days. In Africa, even in modern times, ants are considered the most delicious form of food. One prominent English historian quotes having received as a present jJO baskets of ants pounded into a paste. He says himself that jt was quite an eatable dish, tasting like the livers of chicken. The old Romans ate beetles and considered them a delicacy. Even in the present day Brazilians egl bugs, and it is not an uncommon thing, if you are invited to a festive dinner in a'Brazilian home, to have served you in your first course some 20 varieties of bugs, powdered and cooked in different ways. In fact, many of the black tribes in Africa eat flies and their larvae. In the Andama Island a man must eat a live rodent before he can marry. If he is not willing to go through this ordeal he is not permitted the pleasure of a wife. Chinese eat roasted dogs, as do many Russians and our Sioux Indians. A century ago dogs were favorite meat with our Louisiana darkies. Catching Fish With Dynamite. In many countries of the east where fish is the staple article of diet it is caught in large quantities with the help of dynamite. To each stick of dynamite is attached a fuse which is fired and then thrown into the water. The force of the explosion which follows stuns the fish, which rise in large quantities to the surface, then the natives wade into the water and catch them easily in their hands. As very often the larger fish are only partially stunned, however, upon being seized they will often inflict severe bites upon their captors, so that dynamite fishing is not without its excitement in more ways than one.

AROUND THE CAMPAxa FIRE gßa 33D ILLINOIS’ FIRST FIGHT Attacked by General Jeff Thompson, the Noted Guerrilla, and One Whole Company Captured. In September, 1861, the Thirty-third Illinois left Camp Butler, near Springfield, 11L, for the front. On arriving at Pilot Knob, Mo., where Colonel Thayer of the First Nebraska was in command three companies of the Thirtythird Illinois were stationed od the Iron Mountain railroad: Company K (Captain Lippincott), with 90 men, at Lawson’s Station; Company E (Captain Elliott), at Big River bridge, about ten miles north of Lawson's Station, and Company B at, Victoria, 30 miles from St. Louis. In addition to the regular government rations, abundance of fresh milk, butter, eggs, chickens, etc., were obtained from the country folk, and the boys got fat, writes William H. Edgar of Chicago, in the National Tribune. Late in October, one morning, while the company was at breakfast, two soldiers came running into camp, and reported to Captain Lippincott that Company E, at Big River bridge, had been attacked by Gen. Jeff Thompson, the noted guerrilla, with 700 men, and needed immediate help. The captain called for 50 volunteers to go to the relief of Captain Elliott As we proceeded up the track occasional shots were heard in the timber from Thompson’s pickets, and soon after, following a big curve in the track, we came in sight of Blackwell’s Station, about half a mile distant, with a straight track in front, a cornfield on the right full of corn shocks and a deep rocky cut extending the whole distance on the left of the track. A switch, with some cars, were standing on it, and some woodpiles about the station, which afforded shelter. The company proceeded cautiously, when suddenly a fierce volley came from the cornfield, and it was apparent at once that the Johnnies had captured Company E, and were moving down on Company K, and were massed behind the cars, station and woodpiles, and were well secreted in the corn shocks on the right. The company at once deployed along the cornfield fence, a few feet distant from the track, and directed its fire upon the corn shocks, which seemed alive with Johnnies And there for 20 minutes the boys with the old Fremont muskets in their hands learned about “hot shot” all they cared to know. When the captain saw that the enemy was surrounding us he ordered a retreat. A number, including the first leutenant of the company, were taken prisoners, while those not taken began a hasty retreat down the track, encouraged greatly by the bullets of the pursuing Johnnies. About a dozen of the boys took refuge in a cave. Several squads oi Johnnies passed and repassed the place, until finally the first lieutenant of the company, with several men who had been parolled, came along and he ordered the men to come out. This they did, and were passed intc camp as prisoners of war. The John nies fearing reinforcements from the south did not pursue the company very far, and bn arriving at camp tents were struck, and the company marched to Mineral Point, ten milea to the south, where 2,000 Union sol diers were encamped. Captain Elliot’s entire command was captured and at once paroled. On the day following the writer, in charge of a squad, proceeded on a hand cat to the cave, and secured the guns and equipments he had left there. It was a pleasure later for this company tc participate in the battle at Freder ickstown, which put Jeff Thompson and his raiders to flight, and drove them out of the state: Halleck and the Teamster. General Halleck, like General Sher man, was in military as well as personal affairs a man of some odd ways. When in camp he was accustomed to put on citizen’s clothes and to privately take a look at men and things. During one of these tours he helped a teamster out of the mud, and then gave him a severe lecture for not driv ing carefully. The teamster, after floundering through it, and, having reached the top of the bluff, relieved himself of volley after volley of oaths upon everything in general, and upon General Halleck in particular, for not having the creek bridged. The criticism was just, but the general had al ready ordered the construction of a bridge, and, being incognito, hugely enjoyed the verbal castigation.

t The story ol this namelesi woman and th« miracle of het healing is found in each of ths synoptic gospelSf and it is especially prominent in that of St. Mark; in fact, it is on« of the striking cartoons which this evangelist uses in describing the work ol Christ Os all th«

characters in ths « gospel this nameless woman is ths most touching, and her attituds toward Jeeus, his treatment of her, and the gracious results serve as encoun agement to anyone who doubts his fit- ” ness for approach to Christ or his won thlness to receive anything frois Christ. It is the story of a miracle by ths way. Jesus had been requested by Jairu* to come to his house and heal his daughter. As he was going on his way and much people followed him and thronged him, a certain woman ( seriously ill for twelve years, suffering 4 many things of many physicians, and growing worse instead of better, cams in the crowd about Jesus and touched the hem of his garment She was a ( great sufferer from her disease and disappointment, and probably now shs was in despair. To her Jesus may have been nothing more than a great doctor who had healed many people and of whose fame she had heard. He> great need made her forget lm« ’ modesty of her act, the uncleannosa of her presence, the improbability ol attention, and drives her to Jesus. Het superstition wae not unmixed with faith, “For she said, if I may touch g but his clothes I shall be whole.” Recognition. Jesus noticed her touch; “And Jesus Immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?” He knows the slightest movement of the eoul toward himself, he feels the burdens we bear, for he is touched with a feeling of our Infirmities. Like the father in Luke 15 he goes out to meet the returning wanderer. What an encouragement it is to the sinner to realize this approachableness and responsiveness of< the great Savior. Sometimes we are in doubt about the character and love of God, but every revelation of the tenderness, compassion and thoughtfulness of Jesus is also a revelation of the fact that God is like him. He knows our reaching out after him; let us be sure of that. “I waited patiently for the Lord, and he inclined unto me and heard my cry.” Get close to Jesus in love and faith, and touch him. His heart and .love and power will respond. “The healing of his seamless dress Is by our beds ot pain; We touch him in life’s throng and press « And we are whole again.” Jesus rewards the woman, though she had mistaken ideas about his character and his work; but one thing she knew—she was sick and there was a healer; she touched him and that brought blessing and benediction. Jesus did not stop to raise questions as to her character or criticise her for her conduct. He responded to the weak faith and the earnest desire of • the woman, “And said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go In peace, and be whole of thy plague.” The story shows that faith is personal allegiance to a personal Christ. Many of us need simpler ideas and teaching about saving faith. Christ saves, t not a Christ saves, net a church; althoughcreed and chun h are important and must find their place in ths life of the saved sinner. ' he woman got more than she asked the experience of every believing, oyal, trusting soul is, “My cup runnetl over.” Co fessiorf. Who touched e? Cb-ist waits for ♦ the answer, althc igh the disciples said unto him. “Thoi seest the multitude thronging to th- . and sayeat thou, who touched me And Jesus waits until the woman ells hisi all the truth and goes away n t only with a healed body but with 1 r sins forgiven and the affectionate approv U of Jesus. •There is a vast differ* ico between thronging about Christ and touching him; the supreme thing is to get at him.
