HARD BLOW
FOR RUSSIA
Loss of Makaroff Can Hardly
he Estimated-he Was the
Soul of the Fight

fSnecial Telegram to Evening Teller.)
LONDON, April 13.-The loss Of
Nakaroff is a blow hardly to be esti-
mated. He was the very heart of the
Russian aggression at Port Arthur.
Irp to the time of his assuming direc-
zion Russian warships were crouched
and shivering under the guns Port Ar
thur waiting the renewal of the Japa-
nese intermittent attacks and .when
they came spluttered back in a blind
way. In place this Makaror actually
resumed the offensive. On the night OF
March 10 he sent six torpedo boats to
sea to look for the Japanese warships.
These met the enemy and maintained
a hot fight each side losing torpedo
boat. Observing that his torpedo boat
was laundering. Makaroff went out
with two cruisers to face the entire
aJpanese fleet, but was too late to be
of any assistance, Such an action is q
perfect index to his work since infus-
ing new life into the dry bones at
Port Arthur.

THE WITCHING CEDARS.
(High School Credit.)


I have fondness which is almost passion for the
cedar tree with its low spreading branches and rough
bunny roots. Perhaps my native Partially has been
enhanced by the important part which this tree played
in the building Of Solomons temple Nevertheless, the
belief is firmly established in mind that the cedar is
the grandest tree knew.
Go into the woods a bleak November day, select
place to camp for the night and look about you
boughs to make you bed To what tree do you turn9
To the birche No; it has needles. To the spruceg
No. it's needles hard and harsh. To the pineq Mo-
its needles and scrawny Where then9 To the
cedar, of counsel And you lay the plant branches in
soft and easy bed you breathe prayer of thankfunes
to Him who made that tree You pass the night in rest
full and wake invigorated in the morning.
The cedar is cone-bearing, evergreen tree with
spreading branches coming almost to the ground tapers
to point like jagged spire The wood is Of red color
and bitter TASTE which is offensive insects The gum
which exudes from the trunk and is soft and
sweety odorous the balsam Of Mecca Cedar is very
desirable for carving It is fragrant and takes high
polish which develops beautiful grain and grows darker
and richer by time The itself has beauty grace
which fascinates with irresistible charm. An
overhangng cedar lends enchantment to the STILL trans
parent waters Of isolated pond The red loves
the CEDAR for gives him RIBS the white loves
CEDAR for it yields him useful timber. Therefore
love the cedar. Norman fully,
