A DWARF IN BATTLE.
Cssan Won Praise and Honor FROM tn
Great Genghis Khan.


Great Genghia Khan.
From time to time Mrs Mary Shears
Roberts has contributed to st. Nioho-
las papers on Historic Dwarfs =" In
one number she tells of Casan, Tar
tar dwarf who took service under the
great Mongolian khan. Mrs Roberts
thus describes his first appearance in
battle:
Now, it so happened that Genghis, in
order TO subdue the deserters from his
fathers tribes, had dethroned several
princes or khans These petty chiefs had
been in the habit of paying tribute to
the great sovereign of the Kin empire
In North China. This high and mighty
potentate now demanded money from
Genghis Khan, thereby rousing the ire
of our Mongolian warrior, who an
nounced that, rather than pay one cont
for tribute he would fight the whole
Chinese kingdom. Preparations for war
were at once begun, and Casan was de-
lighted when he received orders to join
the army. At last his dream was real
lied, He was going to fight real battles,
and he was in command of a body OF
troops. He babe adieu to his family and
with proud heart set out to meet his
sovereign.
AS first step, Genghis Khan invaded
western Hea, captured several strong
holds and retired in the summer to a
place called Lung Ting, in order to es-
cape the great heat of the plains OF
eteppes While there news reached him
that several other khans were preparing
for war. He thereupon descended from
the heights, marched against his foes
and in a pitched battle on the river
Irish he overthrow them completely.
Casan attracted a great deal Of notice
on this occasion. He was here, there
and everywhere. On his mettlesome
charger he bounded into the thickest OF
the fight, hurting his lance with unerr-
ing aim and displaying great courage.
After the fray he was summoned t6
appear before the oonqueror, who com
plimented the dwarf, saying: "Th3
valor and thy courage have completely
justified thy promises. From this day
forth thou shalt be a khan Thou shalt
have command of large body of troops
and shalt hereafter be- my companion il
arms"
