NAV Attack Hal chena.

Lao Yang, June 2O.-The Japanese
continued to press the Russian forces
returning from the battle of Vafangow
on the night of June Is. They had
remained at Vafangow all day and at
night persistently pushed forward
and tried to get around the Russian
right wing, which had borne the brunt
OF such heavy fighting the previous
day. A terrific thunder storm burst
at night, rendering the roads almost
impossible. They were bad for the
Russians and equally so for the Japa-
nese, who were unable to overlap the
Russian right. The Russians. there
fore, were enabled to retire gradually
to the north. 1t is stated here that
General Kuroki, with the main force
of the Japanese, is at Siuyen. 1t is
believed he intends uniting with the
force advancing from the south and
make combined attack on Hal
Cheng.

General oku Commanded.

Toxic, June 20.-General Oku, the
victor of the battle OF Nanshan hill on
May 26, fought and won the battle
of Telissu (Vafangow) on June 10.
There is a strong similarity between
the two fights. At Telissu the Japa-
nese had to drive the Russians from
two hills. While at Nanshan the en-
envy occupied one hill. The Russian
position at Telissu was superior to
that of the japanese and equalized the
advantage OF the Japanese in having
a larger force. The Russian position
extended from east to west and
crossed the narrow valley through
which run the Foo Chou river and the
railway From their positions on the
right and left in the high hills which
flank this valley, General Oku drove
the Russians down into the valley.
The Japanese general carried first the
enemy's right and then his left. The
fight at the left of his line was the
most desperate of the day. The Rus
ate determination and only fed when
they were almost enveloped. The
field had been disputed all day and
when the japanese reached it 600 of
the enemy's dead were found there.
The japanese left succeeded in am
bushing 900 Russian infantrymen who
were discovered retiring toward WI
chiatun. They sent two companies Of
infantry and one battery of artillery
to hill east of Hong Chiatun and the
Russians were completely trapped.
Many of the enemy at this point were
killed OF wounded.
In his report General Oku says the
Russians began the fight with twenty
five battalions of infantry, seventeen
squadrons of cavalry and ninetyefght
guns. They were reinforced several
tines but the number of reinforce
ments is not known. Seven Russian
officers and 300 men were taken pris.
oners. The Japanese casualties
amounted to about 900 men, including
eight officers killed and fourteen
wounded.
A dispatch from St. Petersburg says
the total Russian losses at the battle
of Vafangow (Telissu) were about @.
600 men, including more than tifty-five
officers.

seed selections aad improved methods
Of cultivation.
The scientific advantages Of flat
shallow cultivation over former meth
DDS, in state like Iowa, have an an
nual money value that will more than
equal what the government pays for
all the experiment stations of the coun-
try for any one yeer. They also have
worked miracles in improving the
quality and yield of corn. 1t has been
estimated that the difference between
a single crop of corn for all ILL.,, grown
from the best selection of seed, as
compared with one grown from i'm
proper or careless selection of seed,
will amount to from $5,000,000 to
$lO,OOO,0oO.
The improvements made in dairy
ing, feeding and breeding. live stock
grasses and grains and saving to farm
ers through proper use Of commercial
fertilizers, suppressing destructive
insects and cereal diseases, etc, have
been of untold value to the agricul-
tural interests of the country.
INVESTMENT IS PROFITABLE.
The money expended by the gov.
ernment and by the states for the sup
port of exper iment stations partakes
more of the nature of a profitable in.
yestment than of an appropriation.
The money expended has brought won.
derful cash returns, besides elevating
and popularizing the greatest vocation
open to the rising generation. Con
gress could do no better thing for this
country than to increase the govern
ment's annual investment in each
state experiment station from 700
to $30,000 The returns on the invest
ment would be rich beyond compar-
ison.
Agriculture is the foundation of our
national prosperity. 1t is the prime
source of our national wealth, and to
increase the products of the soil and
yet conserve its fertility for future
generati ons is worthy the attention Of
statesmen. Can the government af
ford to spend annually for the benefit
of the farmers Of the United States,
in the form of increased experiment

than sufficient to build a couple of tor.

SOMETHING TO LOOK FOR
WARD TO.

No matter how rough the path we tread, TO m tier
how long the way.
There's a charm to brighten the tired eyes and
tighten the dreary day,
If the heart holds fast to the thought Of home (as
the sunf1ower turns to the SUM,
Ii there's something to look forward to when the
long days work is done!
1t may be only smiling face that will greet you at
the gate,
1t may be the patter of childish feet, that your
weary footsteps wait;
1t may be the cheering word of a friend, whose
strength you may lean upon,
But it's something to ot forward to when the long
days work is done!
Oh, the healing touch that the nder love of
trusting wife bestows,
Oh, the pure delight CT childish kiss, how many
toiler lows!
Oh, the helping clasp of faithful hand that in
friendship meets your own:
These are we worth looking forward to when the
ng days work is done
Alas for the eyes that ook in vain for loves welcome
at the gate;
God pity the steps that lag alone. where childish
feet may wait!
And the empty arms outstretched in vain God
strengthen that lonely one
Who has nothing to look forward to when the long
days work is done!
Let him turn his tear. dimmed eyes aoft from this
world Of want and woe,
Let him dream of that hallowed meeting place,
where the soul shall no parting know.
Let him set his feet the upward slope that is lit
by the setting sun,
WI ere his loved ones wait at the pearly gate till
lfes long days work is done!

Eeleet Miscellany.
Snowbound.

1t was an awful storm; the snow
curled up over the tops of the fences,
and there were no roads to be seen
nothing but white fields, broken here
and there by black clumps of trees.
Dick Harwood bent his head to the
wind and spoke softly to his horses.
They were foundering sturdily through
the snow, eager for the end Of the
Journey and for the comfort of the
warm barn and well-fille managers.
"Whooo oo-oopee!'
z Dick lifted his head and looked out
over the storm swept night. That
was Myra cry-the one he had taught
her when he was in short trousers and
she wore long braids.
"Who 90 oo-oc- peel again came the
cry but Myra was miles away in the
big city. 1t came from the little
schoolhouse at the crossroads, which
was half covered with drifting snow.
Dick urged bis horse nearer and dis
cerned in the doorway a dark figure;
then he caught the sound of voice.
"Please, whoever you are, won't you
stop?"
"Myra!' he cried, and flung the reins
down and ran to her.
"Why, Dick Harwood." She held
out both of her hands and then, while
he held them in his warm clasp, she
broke down and explained with little
sobbing gasps:
II started from the station before
the storm thought : | could get

Wasn't there any wood in the
stove?' asked Dick practically.
"Yes, but | hadn t any matches, and
here have been for hours with wood

Dick flung the door open and went
into the schoolroom. The rows OF bat
