' WITH THE RUSSIAN TROOPS
toMitr Writtt of Amusing Adverv
tursa In Manchuria.
Letters published In Russian news-
papers from soldiers in Manchuria
rive some vivid pictures of life in
.the Russian ranks A private named
Veruinan writes from Port Arthur:
"Two Poles Catholics from Warsaw
fot white all over when the yellow-
faces began to shoot. Our Jew Yanko
rold them amulets made of leather
tf a dead man's boot to keep oft the
Uap shells. Thank Qod we orthodox
believers are not afraid of shells. The
?oles asked Yanko why he did not
jwear it charm himself but he put
vheir money in his pocket ami said
''This is charm enough for me.' There
are hundreds of fellows here trying to
'do us soldiers but one fellow got left
badly by Yanko. Yanko had a 10-
ruble note which he said the 'Makaki'
(Japanese) forged; he bought it for
a ruble at Harbin and kept it as a
curiosity. A man tried to sell him
a gold ring made of brass for a ruble
and Yanko pretended not to know
the difference and paid him with the
Jap note getting nine rubles change.
Next day the man came back and ask-
ed for his money but Yanko threat-
ened to get him flogged for trying to
swindle poor ignorant soldiers and
we all laughed. Afterward Yanko ex-
changed the gold ring with the ma-
jor's cook for a bottle of vodka and
treated us all which Is quite decent
considering he is a Jew."
-Philanthropy Is Rewarded.
A stock broker who was on his way
to the city observed that one of his
fellow-passengers in the car was
closely regarding him. After a time
the man looked over and asked:
"Didn't I see you in 'Frisco in 189.0?"
The broker wasn't In Frisco in that
rear but thinking to humor . the
stranger he replied in the affirmative.
"Don't you remember handing a
joor shivering wretch a dollar one
night outside a hotel?"
"I do."
"Well I'm the chap was havd up
out of work and about to commit
suieide. That money made a new
man of me. By one lucky speculation
and another I am now worth $25000."
"Ah! Glad to hear it."
"And now I want you to take $5 in
place of that dollar. I cannot feel
easy until the debt is paid."
The broker protested and objected
but finally just to humor the man
he took the $10 bill offered him
and returned the $5 change. Tho
stranger soon left the car and every
thing might have ended then and
there if the broker on reaching tho
office hadn't ascertained that the $10
was a counterfeit and that he was $5
out of pocket.
' Sams Idea Variously Expressed
I It is curious to trace how slmilai
ideas have tsken root in different Ian

proverbs in our language. We say
F'A bird in the hand is worth two in
(the bush." The same idea is express
'ed by Italians when they say "Bet-
ter an egg to-day than a pullet to
imorrow" and the French proverb it
