Pictures of misery seen here are du

Tsarttaln, and every other city in the
famine-stricken valley of the Volga.
Docks and rallcpad stations are piled
high with the belongings of the refu

grasshoppers that destroyed even the
meaeer grain that had defied the heat
of the terrible rammer now drawing

Large peasant families arrive In a
state of exhaustion, their carts being 1
dragged by cartels and starved
horses. There Is no hay or grain
here, and there is slight prospect that j
the animals can be kept alive until
spring.
In the carts are samovars, talking
machines, concertinas and American 1
sewing machines, which are bartered
for food or for coffins. The dead

them are pitiful groups boiling a few
potatoes and onions with which to

armed guard, but this appears to be
unnecessary, as the peasants are too
vyak and passive to take violent j
measures.
Typhus Claiming Victims.
Great crowds attempt to cling to
the few trains that leave here dally,
and soldiers often pul? some of the
refugees from the cars, frequently
separating families, some members of
which havs managed to secrete them
selves between the cars.
Typhus has appeared in many
places and the hospital superintend
ent at Samara said the other day the
only way to handle the situation was
to segregate those who have been
stricken. They receive rations when
food to available, but there 1s no aoap.
Five hundred sick children were
found grouped In one building In Sa

were lying about on dirty beds, more

THE SINGE* SEWING MACHINE
It is simple, light and airy.
And the life and light of home.
Formed by some engenious fairy.
Or the enchantment of a gnome.
Tis its finest near erratic,
the smooth running automatic,
Singer Sewing Machine
Tis the sum of human science.
Not the product of wild dreaws.
It has gained the world's reliance.
For it is just what it seems.
Others go unto the pttic.
With the old things which have been.
No equal has the automatic?
Singer Sewing Machine
Bow it goed, goes without laying,
At the lightest touch of foot.
Sewing with it is like playing;
And its stitch is bound to suit.
Women praise grow emphatic,
When its ways and work are seen.
Naught is like the automatic?
Singer Sewing Machine.

Tis the 40th century treasure,
And is always at the fore.
Tis a beauty and a pleasure,

All who have it fre ecstatic;
All their hearts they will never ween,
from the charming automatic?
Singer Sewing Machine.
