to the effect that the Japanese in their
attack during the night of August 22

tween Takushdn and the eastern de-
fenSes and reduced another fort i'm
media tely east of the railroad. Poidoi
mounted only two sn1dn guns when
the Russians were in possession of it.
The ISSanit was preceded by heavy
fire from Takushan where the Japan
ese have big naval guns. The Rus
slams lost considerable before they
were compelled to retire.
Ihe fort was not occupied by the Jpp-
anese as il is behind n nloat which the
japanese in no instance have been able
to cross. Recent arrival here who were
in Port Arthur as late as August "a.
believe that the Russian resistance will
prove successful foF1Seme time yet.
They explain that the japanese are un-
able tol occupy Etseshan fort The
japanese feinted constantly in attempt

tremendous labor, raised the summit OF
smaller hill behind it to the level of

SLEEPS ON THE PORCH.
Girl, Has No Fears Whatever of Cold Weather.

With the temperature at nearly zero. Miss Margaret Dwyer occupied her cot on the rear piazza of her home on Ten Broeck street, Albany, N. Y.
 When asked the all-important ques- tion: Why? Miss Dwyer responded: First, because cannot sleep well in- doors and can in open air. When l returned from last summers vacation it was very warm in the city, so one night when I could not sleep at all got up and went out on the porch. where easily fell asleep on a couch.

Beaver Mnie a High Raise.

POUGHKEEPSIE, x. T., March 10. A. NJ. Beaver, a stock speculator of Hyde Park, N. Y., is under arrest charged with raising check on the Irving National bank of New York from $2.70 to $5,200. Beaver, who is thirty-one years old and the son of a laborer on F. w. Vanderbilt's estate at Hyde Park, has made a confession of the crime. Beaver shipped a barrel of apples last month to New York under the assumed name of M. Finch, Milton, N. r., and received a check on the Irving National bank for $2.7O. He raised the check to $5,2OO and altered the name of the payee to his own. He presented the check at the Poughkeep- sic Trust company, where he has a small account, ordered $2,00O placed on deposit and drew $3 200 in cash.

 The bed that Miss Dwyer sleeps in is an ordinary cot. with woven wire springs, situated against the partition which separates her uncle's from his neighbor's back porch. Her bedding consists of pair of fieece-lined sheets, a rose blanket. comfortable and a pillow. She disrobes in, the house. dons a nightdress, a bath robe, pair or knitted bootees and hood, which, while it protects her ears, leaves her face entirely exposed. Thus attired she seeks couch almost under the broad expanse of the heavens. Her fancies are somewhat poetic and she says it is the most sublime sensation to watch the myriads of stars overhead until sleep closes the eyes. r~raAt.. --r..+.

Netie rose in her wrath and threw bombshell into the meeting by announcing that Laura Hopkins, the president and founder of the trust, had set an example of dis loyalty, that she had made up her quarrel with the man who had thought her as near perfect as girl might be, that. so far from discour- helped confirm him in this belief. The faltering members of the trust turned to Laura in impatient ex- pectance of an indignant denial from her lips. But alas, the biushes and embarrassment of Laura proved that the president and founder of the Ab- beyville Bachelor Girls trust had set the example of disloyalty.
 With treachery within and temptn- ton without the trust was plainly doomed to failure. Nothing was left CASCpt to AoA 0AuAAy AA5O0AA. A~0 A~S olution of censure was upon Nettie. Instead she left the meeting in tri- umph, arm in arm with the late prest- dent The young men of Abbeyville, however, warned by the danger which they had so narrowly escaped by the downfall of the trust, were discreet in their triumph and individually and collectively tried to prove that the need for such an offensive and defen- sive alliance had passed. The result was that none of the fair founders of the trust seemed to regret its untime- ly end And Nettie was least of all regretful.

Fat Women Disturbed Meeting.

NEW YORK, March 10. - Wedged into the Masonic temple last evening were as many women as the hall would hold. They stood between the seats and on top of them. Too many fat women tried to get on one bench, and It crashed beneath their weight. That wouldn't have happened if they'd dis tribute their weight like I tell them.' commented Miss White, the dress re- form lecturer who Is showing fat wo- men how to appear lean. There they come! Look at those shoulders! That's the six foot model!' Hers was the decollete Of any of the underwear that has been shown. Her fragile corset cover was held up only by strips of baby ribbon over the shoulder, and they slid down over her arm with a careless grace. When the tall model was put into corsets there was an ex- clamation of relief. Not only had she been given fine figure but she had been, at least in part, supplied with much needed clothing.

Rising Water sweeps Away Bridges

 WILKESBARRE, Pa, March 10.- Three spans of the great steel bridge erected by the state at Catawi3sa were swept from their piers here and car ried 400 yards by the ice. The two re- maining spans have collapsed. The ice began running early. in the afternoon at Catawissa and moved for an hour and then gorged again.
 The Pennsylvania railroad bridge over Catawissa creek went out, taking with it four large steel cars. The Sec ond street wagon bridge was also swept away. This was the last bridge remaining on Catawissa creek.
 Mill street at Danville, the business thoroughfare of that city, is under wa ter for it's whole length, more than a mile. The ice moved at Danville and carried the great covered river bridge from its piers. This bridge was 2,OOO feet in length and was owned by Mon- tour and Northumberland counties.

Jenkins Renominated.

The Hon. John J. Jenkins was
renominated for his sixth term in
Congress at Spooner last Friday.
The nomination was unanimous.
1t is a credit to the Republicans of
the 18th district that they SO har-
moniously came to this conclusion.
This year throughout th- state the
great majority of Republicans have
cordially accepted the proposition
that the conservative portion laid
down two years ago, that national
politics should be considered sepa-
rate from state issues. 1t is now al
so recognized as most creditable to
the states delegation in Congress
that the members resolved not to
mix in the factional scrap that
divides the party, not iQ fact on is
sues, but practically on La Toilette
alone.

How Naples Make Sugar.

The exact methods by which
maple trees manufacture the sugar
which we get from them in the
spring has been solved by some
government scientists in Vermont,
these scientists having devoted
some years to the study.
They say that all the sugar is
made during the summer. Starch
gathered by the roots is brought
into the leaves, dissolved into sap,
and is there changed into sugar in
the same way a PERSONS saliva
changes starch into sugar-a fer
ment acts on the starch.
The sugar is the food of the maple
tree; part of it is used at once, and
part is stored away for future
growth.
In the spring an extra amount of
sap comes up into the tree, dissolv-
ing this sugar. Now, if the tree be
tapped, the sweet sap runs out.
According to these scientists, the
sap runs out for the same reason
that steam comes out of boiler if
an opening be made-the warm
spring sun has heated the sap in
side the tree, the sap swells from
the heat, and a pressure is formed
which forces It out.
A sap run depends, then, on the
previous summer for sweetness; if
the tree be thrifty, with lots OF
leaves, there will be lots of sugar.
1t also depends on alternate cold
and heat in the spring, to draw sap
up into the tree, and then to swell
it to cause a pressure.
Most naples are so thrifty that
the loss of sap does not hurt them
at all.
Maple trees in Europe do not
make sugar-even when transplant
ed from America. There is some
difference there which has not been
determined as yet.-Spring Valley
