recently: I'VE would consider a game

A Greaf Old Man.

One Henry Jenkins died in England
Dec 6, 1910, at the alleged age Of 169
years. He is said to have been fisher
man for 40 years. Though he could
neither read nor write, his reach Of
memory was such that he would calm
ly give evidence in court in matters on
which his memory went back 120 and
40 years. As boy he is said to have
taken a horse load Of arrows to North
allerton to be forwarded north in time
for the battle of Fl0dden. At the age
OF 100 years he used to swim a wide
stream in Yorkshire with ease. He
lived until four years after the great
fire of London, was poor all his life.
but subsisted cheerfully by thatching
and salmon fishing.

BATTLES ON THE YALU
Japanese Soldiers Cross the
River to Manchuria.
Fierce Fighting Follows and the
Russians are Forced to Re
tire, Losing Many Men.

For more than a week several large
divisions of the japanese army has been
crossing the 1alu river into Manchnrian
territory and after fierce fighting have
1Orced the Russian army to retire. The
Japanese commenced this aggressive
movement on April 20, warships in the
mouth OF the river guarding the army

command Of General kuroki, have been

sitions deserted by the Russians and an
aggressive campaign will probably be
made.
Reports indicate that about 80. 900
Russian soldiers are along the Yalu
river cOntesting with a similar number
OF japanese for every foot If ground on
the Manchurian side. Losses on both
sides have not been as heavy az was
expected, but that is accounted for by
the fact that all of the battles that have
been fought have only been of short
duration The armament OF the con
tending forces is modern in every re-
spect and the flowers of both armies are
now contesting. Both the Japanese and
Russian soldiers are well equipped with
modern rifles. field guns, siege guns,
mountain guns aud rapid fire artillery.
On tuesday the japanese made another
attemut to blockade the entrance to
Port Arthur, but the Russian reports
say the little Brown men were unsuccesH-
ful. Under an escort of torpedo boats
the japanese sent hreships toward the
harbOr entrance, but these were discOv-
cred by the Russian land batteries and
warships in the barbOr and were sunk
before reaching their destination, which
was the narrow neck leading into the
inner har6or. Many of the crews per-
ished
Later reports concerning the casual
ties resulting from the several days Sc
we're fighting state that the banks OF the
Yaln are covered with dead, an estimate
placing the japanese loss of life at be
tween 5000 and 1000 In the very face
of such a calling and disastrous fire the
heroic chargers climed the hills, charged
the Russian breast-works, bayOnetted
the tzar's soldiers and captured the
Notifications. 1t was a most gallant
charge and one that will probably go
down in history. The fords crossing the
Yalu are piled with dead Japanese
soldiers The attack was brilliant and
successful one, but cost the MikadO
dearly in human life. The Russian losses
are not known.

HEARST CARRIED KITTITAS.
Will He Name His Baby Boy After
the Evergreen County.

Let us not deceive ourselves, says the
San Francisco Call. The Hearst boom
is booming. When RhodOpe took dip
in the Nile and left her tOgs on the bank
an eagle s@iped one of her shoes and
flying away dropped it before the king
Of Egypt. The king picked it up and
declared that the lady whose foot fitted
it should be his tOOtsy-wOOtsy and his
queen. He went forth, shoe in hand,
and when he found her RhOdOpe got her
shoe back and also a new Easter crown.
just now the American eagle is flying
around with LincOln's boots to tind the
man who fits them. Mr.. Hearst has
announced that he is the man and ex-
hibits his feet to prove it. Does any
one suppose that such q mixture of
RhodOpe and Cinderella in politics can
be beaten? May the thought 60 away
