' Winnipeg. Mao. ? Two thousand
Doukhobors have marched on York*
town. N. W. T.. and the town baa capitulated
wltboat firing a shot. The
pectaclc presented was a lamentable
one. Tbc Doukbobors bad camped oat
at nisht without shelter, and the thermometer
stood at fourteen degrees belutv
the freezing point. The mob consisted
of mi'u. women and children.
Including infants in arms; one was
born during the night, the mother
marching in the procession. Some of
the nick were borne on litters, some
few were barefoot, many wore rubber
"boots aud others coarse sandals made
of binding twine.
t Immigration Agent Spcers succeeded
in getting tht sick, women and children,
boused in the Immigration sheds
and other buildings, much against
, . their' >vllls. Mothers deserto<l tbelr
babe*, aud allowed them to be taken
into tbe shelter, refusing to follow
them until forced along. They say
TTPM or CANADIAN IKJCXHOBO**.
that If God tell* them to go back to
their farina they will do so. bat if oot
then they will continue as they are.
Infanta that died on the march were
thrown into, bushes by thl roadside. *
The first contingent to descend on
the town consisted of about 1000 person*.
After they bad beeu taken care
f a detachment of 400 arrived. Cor*
poral J. Nugent and a detachment of
mounted police stopped them on the
street until arrangements for shelter
could he found. The smiles Of bystanders
were answered by the recitation
in Russian of a verse of the
Twenty-second Psalm. "All they that
see me laugh me to scorn." etc. A
long, lean ascetic, with unkept beard,
dtahevelled hair and Moodahot eyes,
tarn! a? th? head at the halted nroces*
sk>u and prayed. He was protected
from the cold by a lone cape reaching
from hie shoulders to his feet, while
many of his followers had not sufll>
elent clothing to prevetit their perishing
in the sqpw. a sympathetic citisen
pffered a glass of milk to a pallid baby,
whose mother spot the milk to prevent
the child drinking It. Biscuits
were offered >o the children, but they
were forbidden to eat them.
The Doukhobors' camping ground
wa? about three dulles from town,
where there waa no shelter except the
bush. Parties strayed through the
scrub, picking the "God-giren and
greaselees** fruit of the rosebush to
satisfy their hunger. No labor of snlaula
had helped, to produce this fruit,
and they could eat it without sin.
Their prophet had prophesied that on
their arrival at Yorktown their babies
would be taken from tbetu. and tbey
gave tb?m un willingly, for they take
the voice of tbeir prophet as the voice
ij of- Rod.
Hitherto the Donkbobors hare not
.been propagandists, and they have not
sought to extend their faith among
tbeir Canadian neighbors. Now tbey
are cessionaries, and, hare Invited outsiders
to join them, thus offering a
chance to homestead the fertile lands
reserved for exclusive settlement by
Donkbobors In all the years they have
been here.
The Donkbobors later started for
Winnipeg, saying the Lord has told
them to so. They have left the women
and children. They are very quiet and
peaceable, but It Is Impossible to ssy
what turn their erase will take next.

he descendants from seceders from
he old society, who assert that the

communal lands should be divided.
The petitioners say that Duss has sold

amounting to $500,000 upon the
loclety's real estate. The society owns
1000 acres In the city of Pittsburg.
The Court finds that in 1830 the
society was so alarmed over a schism
nised by a malcontent called the Count

A Popular S?lf-SMk?r.
"If you are perfectly selfish, and
perfectly good-natured, you can get all
pou want In this world." some one remarked.
and the assertion Is. on the
whole, true. Tliat Is to say. goodnatured
Insistence goes a long way.
ind when selfishness is added they undoubtedly
make a strong team. "I

'who is universally liked. lie is immensely
popular, and has more iuvita:lons
to desirable houses than he can
accept, and when there he always gets
the best. The best horse Is always
given him to ride; lie manages to nave
the most desirable seat at dinner; If
he keeps people waiting he Is never
blamed, and so It goes on about everything.
But what people do not seem
to realize is that be is Intensely selfish,
and Is always looking out for number

Among the treasured Vld by the
Antiquarian Sorlety in Portsmouth.
New Hampshire. there Is an old box
the history of which is given on a
label which It bears.
The box is of tin. painted green and
show* flcrns of much usage. which
Ik not surprising when one considers
tiiat it carried the United States mail
between Portsmouth and Boston during
the Revolution. It is alwut nine
Inches long, four and a half inches
wide, and a little more than that In
height.
It was carried on horseback by Captain
John Noble, otherwise known as
uea<-on rsooie. who was posi-riaer until
178.1. This lmx contained all the
mall, and made every week one round
trip, occupying three days in the Journey?from
Portsmouth to Boston the
first of the week, and three days at the
end of the week from Boston to Portsmouth.
The distance between the two
places is little more than fifty miles.
The mail-box Is somewhat battered
and the paint is faded and scraped,
but there is no doubt that in case
need arose the stout little box could
even now serve as It did in the time
of the country's peril,
