''Eventualry, as in similar instances which were to follow, we retired, leay- mg the work of driving the enemy from the summit to the resistless guns of the neighboring forts, notably those of Liaoti mountain.
 "One incident of this assault will re- main forever impressed on my mind. When a Japanese standard bearer reached the summit and planted his flag gigantic Russian corporal left his retreating comrades and, rushing back seized the flag, which he was tearing with his hands and with his teeth when he fell pierced with sew eral bullets.
 ~When the Japanese retired under an artillery fire the Russians. reoccu- pied the summit.
 ''The second and third assaults were repIicas of the first, although the sec ond was the most ferocious, being near ly all hand to hand fighting, in which mercy was neither asked nor given.
 "The Japanese have adopted a curi- ous expedient which assisted them greatly in the assaults. They had pre- pared huge piles of wood, coal and cornstalks, which they ignited, the wind being in the faces of the Rus sians. The resultant Are was immense, and the flames and smoke compelled the Russians to retire. 's,

Scending scale, ana there IS nornlng beyond but starvation and boggary." !" Cobbet, the noted English political writer, called the potato the root of poverty.
 The great famine commenced in 1s45, but there were previous years marked by the absence of the essential potato harvest. The first recorded famine occurred in 1739, and was caused by 8 severe early frost. The calamity resulting lasted two years, pestilence following on the feet of the famine, destroying many people.
 An extreme wet season resulted in the famine of 1921, but the want then was not widespread, being confined to the provinces of Connaught and Mun- ster. Tn these provinces the potatoes routed in the pits and became unfit for food. For the relief of ths needy England and Ireland promptly set to work, and very shortly raised, by sub scription, the large sum of over a million dollars, which amount was distributed with due care. Parliament voted large sums for the purpose of providing employment on public works, and to facilitate emigration from the destitute land.
 The next famine (1331) was caused by heavy rainfall and violent storms, and here again western Ireland suf- fered, the three counties of Galway, Mayo and Donegal being the victims. Private philanthropy and government aid came to the rescue without delay. Tn 1885, 1886 and 1887, western Ireland suffered once again, and in 1889 the western and midland counties. In the latter year special officer was ap- pointed by government to aid the landlords in employing the destitute.
 Mir. o'Brien declares that the failure of the potato crop experienced in Ire- land in 1S45-6 has never been paral- leled in its magnitude or its conse- quences at any other time in any other country. 4 blight came upon the potatoes in 1s45, and a much worse one the following season. The food of the people, and of the peoples standby, the pig, was gone. Nothing was left to depend upon, and whole families died In their wretched novels of starvation. Relief measures were put into operation, but the misery was something frightful. Revolt presently raised its head, and poor Ireland was indeed in the throes of crisis Hosts fled from the land and in two years Ireland lost, because of the famine and consequent emigration, half q million of her people.

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

The mysterious "She,' about winch or whom speculation has been rife the past few days, is opening weeks engagement before a deeply interested audience this afternoon at the Jacques. So much has been heard of She" since the sensation made at Hammerstein's New York theater this past fall and there has been so much written about the mystery i'n the me tropolttan newspapers. that many of our people have a more or less con fused ide1 of what ''She" rdaIN ls Many of the explanations are, of course, far astray, and it may be sex- pected that much mystery will remain even after "She'' will have been seen. There is certainly much beauty in the nlyriastic n1iracle--beauty of form and feature and beauty of accidental features that go to make up and in. tensify the mystery. "She" has made sensations in New York and Paris, and there is hardly doubt that these sensations will be repeated in Water bury. People should drop in early fn the mystery of "She" in order to get the week, however, and investigate in on the ground floor and be able to explain it to others. Ill addition to ''Shs'' there is another important teadliner in Press Eldridge, "the com mander-in-chief of the army of funs Press is classed among the best of the black face nlonologlle entertainers for the reason that he is always orig inal and up to date, in this respect re sembling very much the noted Lew Dockstader. The comedy part of the bill, in addition to Press EIdridge, fn- cludes such capable entertainers as the Mignani troupe, Barr and Evans, Frances May, Hathaway ana Walton, and tho electrograph. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents. ladies 10.

DOLL'S EVOLUTION
THE ONES or YESTERDAY AND
 THOSE or TO-DAY.
Countries Where They Are Manu- factured, and Something of the
 Cost of Our Little Girls :, Popular Playthings.

The world is full of dolls at the present moment, an infinite variety offered the thousands now playing the role of Santa Claus. An infinitely wider choice than there was but a few decades ago. And, toE acme reason or other, dolls arc especially cheap this year.
 The date 1860 marks the birth of the modern doll: previous to that time wood and kid were the chief ma terials used in the construction of this most popular of toys. To-day, bisquo, china and eellu1oid dolls are to the fore, although quantities of wooden dolls are still manufactured t1 the Hartz mountains in Germany. And 1t seems pity that not more of them are in demand now, for they are just the thing to put in the hands of care- less youngsters. According to an article in the New England Magazine, there was exhibited few years ago in the South meeting house of Boston (which is now museum for histori- cal relicsl & wooden doll that had withstood the ravages of time for over a hundred years, and which, m that long period, had been a much used toy. The museum card accompanying the doll bore this testimony: Polly Sumner, purchased by Mrs Williams, a relative of Gen. Sumner, in 1773. The old English oak of which she is made enabled her to withstand the caresses and abuses of five genera- tions"
 The countries that buy the most dolls are England and the United States, The countries that make the dolls are Germany, Switzerland. and France, and the United States, at New York, is now making strides in this industry. The New York stores dis play the highest t-priced dolls to be found anywhere in the world, and the newly-rich that want to throw their money away can here pay from $2OO to $500 for a single doll. But this is the rare case, and, comfort to. the average shopper, the large shops offer very dainty dolls at very reasonable

FAMINE IN IRELAND
rHE POTATO CROP AGAIN FAILS
 IN WEST COUNTIES.
q Short Glimpse at the Various Pe- riods in Which the Emerald Isle Has Suffered
 Dire Want.

Still fresh in our minds is remem- brance of the horrors of famine in India, but more or, less vague, for most of us at any rate, is the picture of famines from which old Ireland has suffered. When the potato falls, then, alas! for the Irish peasant And the potato crop this year is no crop at all in western Ireland, the tubers if not diseased, are wretchedly small and a large area of the poorest district in the western part of the island is threatened with actual famine.
 MT. W P, O'Brien says, in his book called "The Great Famine" that the

have received their heads in France, their bodies have been made in Ger many or Switzerland. their eyes manufactured in Germany. The manufacture of doll-eyes is a secret jsaIously guarded: they are fashioned very much as artificial eyes, for hu- man beings, and are vsry expensive. They are difficult to make, but very easily gougsd out!
 Doll clothes are . very important article in the world of small feminity, and the big stores have showcases and shelves given over to the outfit ting of the little girls little giri. The price asked for these email clothes ig seldom a low one, and doll stockings, doll shoes, petticoats, frocks, coats, jewelry, cost a pretty penny. There are doll corsets to give the little madame the fashionable figure of the moment, doll-hamrnocks for her to swing in, gArden-hairs and couches, elaborate houses, 9urs, parasols-ev- erything, 1t would seem. The New York Sun tells the story of vest erner that purchased a doll for $360, and then bought for her earrings, rings, a watch and bracelet costing $2oO more
 It goes without saying that the re- cipient of this wonder got no more pleasure out of her showy toy than the child whose new doll was a.small rag or rubber one.
 A noted educator once made a study of dolls, and, in his investigation in regard to preferences, found that the children were by no mean unanimous in favor of the costly dolls. "Of s45 children with 9S9 preferences. between the ages of three and twelve, 1S1 pre- tfsrred wax dolls, 163 paper dolls, 153 china dolls, IA rag, 115 bisque dolls, ss china and cloth, 69 rubber, 12 china and kid, il pasteboard. plaster-of- paris, wood, 8 knit, with few each of papier mache, clay, glass. cotton, tin, celluloid, French, Japanese.

Irish have frequently been warned of the danger of relying exclusively for their support on the one root, but that the tuber appeals to them be- cause of it's exceptional productive ness. 1t being estimated that an acre of land sown with potatoes is calculat- cd to yield as much food as three or four times that extent devoted to any other cereal. An article in the Edin- burgh Review gives this verdict in re- gard to Erins favorite food: "Who are habitually and entirely fed on po- tatoes, live upon the extreme verge of human subsistence, and when they are deprived of their accustomed food there is nothing cheaper to which they can resort. They have already reached the lowest point in the de-
