patch adds that for over a fortnight
past Count Oyama's army has been
steadily marching In two divisions down
the peninsula 10 Port Arthur. No or
ganized resistance was offered by the
Chinese troops for three-quarters of the
march. Since then. however, there
were occasional brushes with the
enemy.
Early Wednesday morning the right
division crept up a range OF low hills
northwest OF Port Arthur and carried
them at rush. Guns were then dragged
up and fire opened on a strong redoubt
1000 yards distant. The enemy re-
turned the fire briskly. The japanese
infantry advanced against well dl.
rected fire without faltering. Shortly
before nine o'clock the fort was car
ried by storm In most gallant fashion
The Chinese stood for minute or two
against the final onslaught, fighting
fiercely. Then they fled toward IN,

HOW TO BUY A HORSE.

An old holseman says: eff you want to
buy horse don't believe your own brGther.-
Take no mans word for 1t. Your eye is your
market. Don't buy horse in harness. In
hitch him and take everything off but his
hal er and lead him around If he has q com
or is still, you can see it.
LET him go himstlf away, and if he walks
rislt into anything you know that he is blind
No matter how clear and bright his eyes are,
he cant see any moe than b; t. Back him,
too. Som, horses show their weakn ,ss or
tricks in that way when they dol't in any
other.
"But, be as mut as you can, ,oul get
caught sometimes. Even the expert GETS
stuck A horse may 90 ever so nice and 90
great pace and yet have fits. There isn't a
man who could tell it until something hap
pens. Or, he may have . weak back. GIVE
him the whip and of he goes fer mile or
two, then a of a sudden he stops on the road
After a rest lie stops again and no hing but a
derrick can staff him
The weak points abort : horse can better
be discovered while standing than moving. If
he is sound he will stand firmly and s1narely
on his limbs without moving them, with legs
plumb and natna lily poised; or, if the foot is
raised from the ground and e weight taken
from it, disea, e may b. expected, or at least,
tenderness, which is the precursor of disease

straddes with hind Legs, there is weakness
in his bins and his kidneys are disordered.
Heavy pulling bends the knees. Blush,

"A bad tempered one keeps his ears thrown
back; stumbling horse has bl mished knees.
" hen the skin is rough and harsh and does
not move easily to the touch, the horse is a
heavy eater, and digestion bad. Never buy a
horse whose breathing organs are impaired.

HOW NEWSPAPER MEN ARE IMPOSED
on.

The Dover Inder packs some good common
sense into the following paragt aph that needs
to be circulated freely for the benefit of those
who have all idea that it does not cost any
thing to print newspaper, and especially for
the fellow who waits the editor TO puff his
business or some scheme in W hich he is inter
ested, as the paper has to be filled up anyway.
We notice, however, that the editor has to pay
for his groceries and drygoods just he same as
other people, and he shoul not be thought
everlastlngly mean when he demands pay for
his goods, whether it be a sheet of paper or
space in his columns. Hear the 1nder:
"The newspaper Publisher makes his living
by selling his goods the same AS his neiehbor,
and every line of type, every ream of paper
and every pound af ink costs the printer just
as much in proportion as the merchandise
costs the merchant, and he could be paid for
it on the same basis. The day has long since
a country news paper to approach any degree
of pros perty. The publisher has just claim
reasonable profit, and it is unfair for any com
munity or individual to infer that his pros
parity was gained by charging exorbitant
prices. while in other branches of business
such success would have been attributed to
the sagacity and enterprise of the finn thai

The effect was sometimes ludicrously painful.

might be taken of the statement. But the
