ST. PETERSBURG. Russia. My Dear j
Groceryowskl: "Well, sir, I 'spose
you -will be surprised to hear from i
xae In Russia, but there -was no use talk
ing -when Dad said he was going to St. ;
Petersburg- if It was the last act o his
llle. He got talking with a Japaneser
in Rome and the Jap said the war in the
Far East would last until every Russian
Tras- killed, unless America interfered to
put a stop to It, and as Roosevelt didn't
appear to have sand enough to offer his
services to the Gear, what it needed was
for some representative American citi
zen who was brave and had nerve to go
to Bt. Petersburg and see the Czarevitch
and give him the benefit of a good Ameri
can talk. The Jap said the American
who brought about peace, by a few well
chosen -remarks, would be the greatest
man of the century, and would live to be
bowed down to by kings and emperors
and all the world would doff hats to him.
At first dad was a little leary about
going on such a mission without creden
tials from Washington, but as luck would
have it he met an exiled Russian at a
restaurant, who told dad that he re
minded him of General Grant, because
dad had a wart on the side of his noss.
and he told dad that Russia would keep
on fighting until every Japanese was
killed unless some distinguished American
should bo raised up who deemed It his
duty to go to St. Petersburg and see the
Little Father, and in the Interest of hu
manity advise the Czar to call a halt be
fore he had exterminated the whole yel
low race. Dad asked the Russian if he
thought the Czar would grant an audience
to an American of eminence in his own
country, and the Russian told dad that
Nicholas Just doted on Americans, and
that there was hardly ever an American
"ballet dancer that went to Russia but
"what the Czar sent for her to come and
see him and dance before the Grand
Dukes, and he always gave them Jewels
and cans of caviar as souvenirs of their
visit.
Dad thought it over all night, and the
next morning wo started for Russia, and
I wish we had joined an expedition to
discover the north pole instead of coming
here. Say. it is harder to get into Russia
than it would be to get out of a peniten
tiary at home. At the frontier we wore
met by guards on horseback and on foot,
policemen, detectives and other grafters,
who took our passports and money, and
one fellow made me exchange, my socks
with him. Then they imprisoned us in a
stable with some cows until they could
hold a coroner's Inquest on our passports
and divide our money. "We slept with the
cows the first night In Russia, and I do
not "want to sleep again with animals
that chew cuds all night and get up half
a dozen times to hump up their backs
and stretch and bellow. We never slept
a wink, and could look out through the
cracks in the stable and see the guards
shaklns: dice for our money.
Finally they looked at the great seal
on our passports and Baw it was an
American document, and they began to
turn pale, as pale as a RusBian can get
without using soap and when I said
"Washington. Ambassador, Minister Ple
nipotentiary, Roosevelt. Hot Time in the
Old Town Tonight, E Pluribus Unura,
whoople, San Juan Hill." and pointed to
dad. who was just coming out qi me
stable, looking like Washington at Valley
Forge, the guards and other robbers
bowed to dad, gave ,hlm a bag full of
Russian money in -place of that which
they had taken away, and let us trfke a
freight train lor St- Petersburg, and they
must have told the trainmen who wo
were, because everybody on the cars took
oft their hats to us and divided their
lunch with us.
Dad could not understand the change la
the attitude of the people toward us -until
3 told him that they took him for a dis
tinguished American statesman, and that
as long as we were in Russia ho must
try to look like George Washington and
act like Theodore Roosevelt, so every
little while dad would stand up In the
aisle of the car and pose like George
Washington and when anybody gave him
a sandwich or a cigarette he should show
his teeth and say "Dee-lighted," and all
the way to St. Petersburg dad carried
out his part pf the programme, and we
were not robbed once on the trip, but dad
tried to smoke one of the cigarettes that
was given him by a Cossack and he died
In my arms, pretty near.
They make cigarettes out of baled hay
that has been used for beddings and cov
ered with paper that has been used to
poison fliea I never smelled anything so
bad since they fumigated our house by
the board of health after the hired girl
had smallpox.
Well, we got to St Petersburg In an
awful time, and went to a hotel, sus
pected by the police, and marked as un
desirable guests by the Cossacks, and
winked at toy the walking delegates and
strikers, who thought we were non-union
mm looking for their Joba
The next day the religious ceremony
of "blessing the Neva" took place, whore
n1! the population gets out on the bank
of the rtver. with overshoes on, and fur
csats. and looks down on the rivor. cov
ered with ico four feet thick, and the
river Is blessed. In our country the
people would damn a rivor that had
ice four feet thick, but In Russia they
bless anything that will stand it. Wo got
good place oh the bank of the river.
with about a million people who had
sheepskin coats on, and who steamed Uko
r sheep ranch, and were enjoying the per
formance, looking occasionally at the
Winter Palace, where the Czar was peek'
lng out of a window, wondering from
which direction, a bomb would come to
blow him up. When a battery of artillery
across the river started to fire a salute.
and then the devil was to pay. It seems
that the gentlemen who handled the guns.
and who were supposed to flro blank
cartridges into the air, put in loaded
cartridges, filled with grape shot, and
took aim at the Wfntcr Palace, and cut
loose at Mr. Czar.
Well, you would have been paralyzed
to efi the change that came over that
crowd blessing the river one minute and
damning the Czar and the Grand Dukes
the next. The shot went into the Winter
Palace and tore the furniture and ripped
up the celling of the room the Czar
was r. and in a moment all was chaos,
as though every Russian knewtho Czar
was f be assassinated at that particular
moment, and all rushed toward the Win
ter Palace as though they expected pieces
of the Lattlo Father would be thrown
out the windows for thom to play foot
ba'l with. For a people who are sup
posed to be lawful and law-abiding, and
who love their rulers, it seemed strange
o seo them all so tickled when they
thought he was blown higher than a kite
hv Ms own soldiers.
Dad and I started with the crowd for
t-f Winter Palace, and then to had
taste of monarchical government. The
crowd was rushing over us and dad got
mad and pulled off his coat and said
he could whip any confounded foreigner
that rubbed against him with a sheep
skin coat on. and he was just on the
point of smiting a follow with whiskers
that looked like scrambled bristles off
black hog. when a regiment of Cossacks
-amo down on the crowd, riding horses
like e Wild West show, and with whips
in their hands, with a dozen lashos to
itach whip, and they began to lash the
crowd and ride over them, while the
peoplo covered their faces with their
mrms, and run away, afraid of the whljfcc,
which cut and wound and kill, as each
lash has little lead bullets fastened to
them and a stroke of the whip is like
being shot with buckshot orkicked with
a frozen, boot.
Well, sir. dad was going to show the
Cossacks that he was pretty near an
American citizen, and didn't propose to
be whipped like a schoolboy by a teacher
that looked like a -valentine, so he tried
to look like George Washington defying
the British, but it didn't work, for a Cos
sack rode right up to him and lashed
him over the back (and about 15 buckshot
in his whip took dad right where the
pants are tight when you bend over to
pick up something), and the Cossack
laughed when dad straightened up and
started to run.
I never saw such a change in a man
as there was- in dad. He started for
our hotel, and as good a sprinter as
I am I couldn't keep up with him, but I
kept him in sight. Before we got to the
hotel a sledge came along, not an "old
sledge," such as you play with cards,
high-low-Jack-game, but a sort of a
sleigh, with three horses abreast, and I
yelled to dad to take a hitch on the
sledge, and he grabbed on with his feet
on the runners, and a man in the sledge
with a uniform on, who seemed to be
a. Grand Duke, 'cause everybody was
chasing him and yelling to head him off,
hit dad in the nose with the butt of a re
volver, and dad fell off In the snow and
the crowd that was chasing the Grand
Duke picked dad up and carried him on
their shoulders, because they thought he
had tried to assassinate the. Duke, and
wo were escorted to our hotel by the
strikers.
We didn't know wiiat they were, but
you can tell the laboring men here be
cause they wear blouses and look hungry,
and when they left us the landlord noti
fied the police that suspicious characters
were at the hotel, and came there es
corted by the mob, and the police sur
rounded the house and dad went to our
room and used witch hazel on himself
where the Cossack hit him with the load
ed whip. He says Russia will pay pretty
dear for that stroke of the whip by the
Cossack, and I think dad is going to Join
the revolution that is going to be pulled
off next Sunday.
They are going to get about a million
men to take a petition to the Czar, work
Ingmen and anarchists, and dad says he
Is going as an American anarchist who

As to you, Carruthers, you would havo

I had taken to shield, this girl for I
loved her, Mr. Holmes, and It la tho

was it fairly drove me mad to think
that she was In. the power of the great

man whoso name is a noly terror

Why, Mr. Holmes, you'll hardly be
lieve it, but ever since that girl has
been in my employment I never once
let hor go past this house, where I
knew the rascals wero lurking, with
out following her on my bicycle, just
to see that sho came to no harm. I
kept my distance from her. and I wore
a beard, so that she should not recop
nize me, for sho Is a good and high
spirited girl, and she wouldn't have
stayed in my employment long If sho
had thought that I was following her
about the country roads."
Why didn't you toll her or ner aan-

Because, then, again, sne woum
have left me, and I couldn t hear to
face that. Even if stie couldn't love
me, it was a great deal to me just to
see her dainty form aoout tne nouse
and to hear tho sound of her voice."
"Well," said I, "you call that love,
Mr. Carruthers. but i snoinj cau it

Maybo the two things go together.
Anvhow. I couldn t let ner go. re

woll that she should have someone

cable came. I knew they were bound
to make a move."

Carruthers took a tola gram from his
pocket.
"That's It." said no.
It was short and coucise:
"The old man Ib dead."

if you round on your pals to this plain

"Your reverence need not be excited,"
said Holmes, lighting a cigarette. "The
case is clear enough against you. and
all I ask is a few details, for my pri
vate curiosity. However, if there's any
difficulty in telling me. Til do the talk

have a chance of holding back your
secrets. In the first place, three of you

native is smarting more than dad is.
'cause be has to stand up to eat and lie
on his stummick to sleep. ' There is go
ing to be a hades of a time here in St.
Petersburg this next week, and dad and
I are going to be in it clear up to our
necks.
Dad has given up trying to see the Csar
about stopping the war, and ays the
Czar and the whole bunch can go plum
(to the devil) -and he will die with the
mob and follow a priest who is stirring
the people to revolt.
Gee, I hope dad will not get killed here
and bo buried In a. trench with a thou
sand Russians, smelling as they do.
I met a young man from Chicago, who
is here selling reapers for the harvester
trust, and he says it you are once sus
pected of having sympathy with the
working peoplo who are on a strike you
might Just as well say your prayers and
take rough on rats, 'cause the Cossacks
will get you. and he would advise me
and dad to get out of here pretty Quick,
but when I told dad about it he put one
hand on his heart and the other on his
pants and said: "Arnica, arnica, arnica!
and the police that wero on guard near
his room thought he meant anarchy, and
they sent four detectives to stay in dad's
room.
The peoplo here, the Chicago young
man told me, think the Cossacks are hu
man hyenas, that they have had their
hearts removed by a surgical operation
when young, and a piece of gizzard put
in In place of the heart, and that they
are natural murderers, the sight of blood
acting on them the same as champagne
on a human being, and that but for the
Cossacks Russia would have a population
of -loving subjects that would make it
safe for the Little Father to go any
where in Russia unattended, but with
Cossacks ready to whip and murder and
laugh at suffering the peoplo arc becom
ing like men bitten by rabid dogs, and
they froth at the mouth and havo spasms
and carry bombs up their sleeves, ready
to blow up the.members of the royal ram
lly. and there you are.
If you do not hear from me after next
Sunday you can put dad's obituary and
mine, in the local papers, and- say we
died of an overdoso of Cossack. If we
get through this revolution alive you will
hear from me, nut this is tne last revo
lutlon I am going to attend. Yours.

to know what they were after. Two

Sho was leavkig me this week-end, and

should be shoveled into the locomotive to

assimilated and made part of our bodies.
and thus become the capital of the brain.
It- is, therefore, necessary that the con
ditions of nutrition should bo as favorable
as possible. The engineer knows that he
must not clog his drafts with smoke, nor
load his firebox with strong coal. The
student doesn't seem to know that his
fire of genius will not burn clear if he
clogs his brain with Intoxicating sub
stances and loads his stomach with indi
gestible food.
It is necessary, then, to know just
what foods will supply the body and
then demand pure food. Much of the
food material offered for sale is unfit
for food, which emphasizes tho fact
that an inspector is necessary. Even
when the food purchased is in prime
condition much Is spoiled by erroneous
combinations and Improper treatments.
Some one has said that the pathway of
tho missionary lies through our kitch
ens, and It seems to be true, so atro

The kitchen is the head center of our
system of housekeeping, and the sooner
the idea obtains a firm hold upon our
oommon sense, that the work planned
and executed there has & very impor
tant influence upon the welfare of in
dividuals and families, tho more un
willing will home-makers be to turn it !
