St Petersburg is Alarmed
Shanghai, February 26. (Special j
Tjorrespondence.) Shanghai is over
run with Russians. From Port Arthur
2,000 and over have flocked to . the
Chinese port via Nagasaki and Chef oo
Officers on parole with their sailors
and soldier servants, civiV officials,
merchants, refuges of all sorts, Greek
camp followers with their women,Bur
iats, Circassians, Siberians men from
every Province of the Russian em
peror Ide' realm. .They tirong the
streets unkemptf ttneared for. ''Long
lines of jinrickshas roll up and down
the bund dearing booted burdens.
, Women, their heads kerchiefed, their
dresses sagging through the road
ways, slush and mud, drag shivering
children here and ihere aimlessly.
All day long the crowds are blocking
the sidewaks in front of the Russo-
Chinese bank and the Russian oonv
sulate. From early morning till long
after sunset the strange procession
shuffles to and fro without guidance,
unheeded. No 6ne seems to know or
care what becomes of the waifs from
the north. From Port Arthur spme of
them have gonetoChefoo bysteamer;
many of them have made the trip in
junks, their one desire-being to leave
the stricken fortress. On the bund
the Russians are everywhere in view.
-They stand watching the passing
river craft, dressed in skin lined coats
Astrakhan caps and rusty top boots.
W and then there is an officer, sun
icen cheeked, talking in a whisper,
gasping almost a limping as he Ifans
n his rough stick. More often they
are healthy enough in smeared gray
.overcoats, the wealthier men in shin
ing "uniforms. They crush by four in
a carriage smoking, talking, gesticu
lating. The better class of refugees
have been distributed among ; tHe
Hotels; the poor folk sleep on park
benches in the light horse riding
.school. .

THE SOLDIER OF THE CZAR
(New York Evening Post)
1 Hitherto his faith has been simple
and childlike. A phrase, "God and the"
czar," has covered for him both reli
gion and .philosophy and helped him
to endure his frightful trials patiently
and bravely until the end. The czar he
has up to this time been willing to
hold blameless. Will it continue, so
much onger? If the Russian soldier's
eyes are once opened, if his imagina
tion Is ever stimulated by a knowl
edge of a better and freer life outside
of Russia, these very stayingualities
which make him so wonderful a sol
dier in adversity may yet be equally
worthy of admiration in a struggle
against his oppressors.
Nell He always seems so interest
ed in what he is talking about.
Belle Naturally. He is generally
talking about himself.

VALUE OF GOOD HUMOR
. (Sioux City Journal)
A thing always to be cultivated Is
good humor. No prop to trouble has
yet been discovered the equal in
strength of good nature. It is just as
much an obligation of men to fight
against depression as it is to fight
against oppression, and yet men yield
readily to depression and say they will
die befor they will submit to oppres
sion. They begin at the wrong place
with their heroics. Good humor is the
safety valve. It' provides a way for
unnecessary and harmful steam, which
if confined, may result in a ruinous ex
plosion. Good humor, dwells in the
house of comfort; it waters the plants
feeds the canary, draws the curtain to
admit the sunlight and at evening time
it lights the lampv
