RECKLESS COURAGE
STORY TOLD BY CossACK
OF A JAPANESE SOLDIER
Surrounded in House the Oriental
Killed six Men and Wounded the
seventh and Then Jumped From
the Burning Building Upon an Up
pointed Lance-The Jap Laughed
During the Entire Melee.

Berlin, Oct 1.-THE desperate
courage of the individual Japanese
soldier was never better illustrated
than in the following story from
Odessa of a Cossack named Uriadt-
self:
"Near Taschichao we pursued a
jap mfantryman into a Chinese
house. where he rushed up loose
stairway leading to a loft, and began
to shoot We had no ammunition,
so thought we would burn him out,
when down went one of our men with
bullet through his back. This made
us mad and we rushed up the stair.
There was room for only one at a
time. and Misha Medvedtseff rushed
first.
1.-THE Jap waited till Misha was on
him. and then fired right through his
body, wounding the man behind. The
rush from behind drove Misha's dead
body on top of him, and the third
man, taking advantage of this, hacked
at the Jap, cutting his cheek Vel
low face yelled, and fired again, kill
ing our third man. Now 1t was my
time, and though I knew was done
for, I felt no fear, but only thirst Il
cut down the Jap, who laughed a
every shot. However, I wasn't goint
to give myself away, so instead o
rushing on l stuck my lance. Th'
Jap drove 1t down with his rifle muz

A case of this nature has, we learn,

desire to patronize home industries
has had for once to be placed in the
background. We refer to a large pur-
chase of machinery which has Just
been made by the war office for in-

machines, consisting of a set of eight
clever instruments for the manufac-

superior are they in the matter OF
rapid work to our old methods, that
the arsenal can now turn out 10 times
as much finished material as it could
do previously. Both Russia and ia.

THE KOOPYETS' FRIEND
BY VIRGINIA LEILA VENT

In every Russian village you will
find one building that Is conspicuous
because of its location and It's height.
It is always exactly in the center Of
the village, and 1t is always two
storied. This conspicuous two-storied
house belongs to the village koopyets;
1t is his residence and shop The
koopyets or village trader is a person
of the utmost Importance from the
moujlk's point Of view.
Well, Makar Semenovitch, the koop-
vets of the village Of Poltvtsee, was
no exception to the rule. He was
thrifty Ivan. The troughs outside his
house, one filed with water, the other
with grain, never led an idle life; they
were constantly in use by the steeds
of the wagoners who travelled from
Warsaw to Moscow.
Among all the wagoners who passed
that way, none was so gay and none
so we'll liked by Semenovitch as Ivan
Dmitrievitch Aksonov He was
handsome, fair-halred, curly-headed
young fellow, full of fun and always
singing.
Aksenov passed through Poltvtsee
twice a month, sometimes oftener;
now one day, now another, according
to his loads. One morning toward the
end Of May he and several other Gus
toners were drinking tea with Makar
Semenovtch In an inner room adJoin-
ing that in which the koopyets dis
played his stock. One by one the mou-
jiks had turned down their tumblers
in token that they had really had
enough. One by one they had risen,

to Moscow to fetch her next week.
We are to be married on the last day
Of the month Of Mary. She's barely
20, unhappily; but then for a man
past so I'm pretty vigorous-looking
fellow, dost not think, Aksenov?'
THAT you are!" cried the young
man heartily. And wish you joy,
Makar Semenovltch."
Three weeks later, when Askenov
passed through Poltvtsee again, he
saw the young bride. He was in the
tractlr or shop, trading some prian-
nikl and herring for some gorgeous
colored calico when a peal Of merry
laughter reached his ears.

instead Of tho warm, heavy garments
OF former regime. The improved
method of heating houses by steam or
hot water radiators has much to do
with the change, no doubt. We no
longer are obliged to huddle round the
hearth for warmth while the rooms
four corners are lowering about the
freezing point. But it Is not alone in
the house that summer garments are
possible in January. At most Of the
smart restaurants at home or abroad
diaphanous dress is the order of day
and evening. In Paris this was es.

a trembling diamond. The Parislen-
mes are nothing IL not original.

Embroidered Hosiery.

The pompadour patterns have In.
vaded the realm of hosiery, and most
OF the new fancy stockings are en-
broidered in the daintiest of floral
effects. Graceful rose vines form the
clocks in some lovely examples, while
others have Dresden bouquets scat
tered over their surface from instep
to knee. A unique pair, seen in a
smart shop had clocks formed by
delicate sprays Of lilies of the valley
embroidered in white and green.

Nutrlment in Rice Water.

When boiling rice some cooks allow
the cereal to absorb all the water in
which 1t is cooked, while others keep
1t supplied with more water and then
drain off and throw 1t away. When
the latter method is adhered to much
Of the nutriment of the rice is wasted.
The orientals long ago discovered
that rice water contains the very
essence Of nutriment, and travellers
In oriental countries when attacked
by stomach troubles incident to the
climate have found that rice water,
when sweetened and favored with
some favorite extract, and set away
TO cool, makes Jelly which may be
eaten cold with cream. This makes a
very nice dessert to serve to children.

To Remove scorches.

This Is a sure way to remove a
scorched spot as long as 1t has not
made a hole in the material: Take
the juice from two peeled onions, one
half an ounce of white CASTLE soap,
cut In small pieces, and two ounces of
Fuller's earth, stir all together with a
cupful Of vinegar. Stand over the
fire and let boil. When this is cool
spread over the scorched spot and
leave till it is dry. Then wash out
the linen and you will find no stains
remains.

Magistrates Clerk Compelled to TeS'
tify to Superlor's lncompetency.
Among the most successful practl.
TONERS at the English bar is Lord
Brampton, whose strong point is the
cross-examination of witnesses. In
this he is quick to see a point in his
clients favor and to take advantage OF
1t. Lord Brampton tells a story OF
how he once won a case on techni.
cal ground when he had no defense.
He forced a magistrates clerk to be
put into the witness box by the prose
cution to prove a purely formal mat
ter; now, having gotten him there, he
cross-examined him and made him
practically admit that he lied his mag
istrates by the nose," to admit also
that they had refused bail by his ad.
vice, and that judge at chambers
had afterward granted 1t, although the
witness had come UP all the way from
London to oppose 1t. Then, asked the
cross-examiner:
"You were in the room, sir, and did
you not hear the learned judge say
there was not rag of a case against
my unhappy client?"
The prosecuting counsel objected,
and 1t was ruled out. But the jurors
had heard 1t, and had heard the an.
swer stopped. The dissatisfaction thus
adduced in their minds made them
acquit the prisoner.
Leaving the court that day the pris'
oner's counsel asked his opponent:
"Why did you object to that ques.
tlon"
The latter Indignantly protested
that his adversary must have known
that 1t could not be put.
Eyes, did" was the answer; "but

you would object at the right time.
But you should have waited for the
answer, as 1t would have been No."

The Sachet BAD.

Sachets play an important part in
the modern womans wardrobe. That
delicate, evanescent perfume that
cllngs to dainty garments can be
given by sachets alone, for liquid per-
fumes are invariably the reverse Of
subtle or delicate.
Nearly all straight-front corsets are
worn with a sachet tucked into the
top. Sometimes it is long, straight
cushion, very soft and thin, and deli
cately perfumed; tied around the mid
die with a ribbon bow. Again, it may
be heart-shaped and lace-rufTled, with
. tiny bow at the top.

The other hand was stretched out Sc
ductively to the greyhound leaping
round her. A crystal buckle flashed at
her waist; the sunshine coming in
through the open window caught the
red-gold Of her hair, the pink cheek,
the white, moving hand.
And it was so that Aksenov and she
met.
Twelve months rolled by, and life
in the little village of Poltvtsee grew
wearisome to Sergia.Kara. Often In
her morning and evening walks she
would pause and look far off, follow.

country which ran toward Moscow.

Then out stepped the koopyets and

Aksenov as he fell, pressing his hands
to his breast.
"Semenovitch, one last service!"
whispered the dying man. Hand me

The koopyets hesitated, not under
standing; but when he handed It to
him Aksenov frowned between his
gasps Of pain.

There-like that. Now, put it In my
hand. Good. Do you see, Semeno-
vltch-it is for your sake-for the
sake Of Sergia-nara-no one must
suspect you-every one must believe
it was myself"
Then, making last strenuous ef-
fort, Ivan Dmitrievitch Aksenov
shouted to his horses to go on. They
started at his voice, and 1t was not
long before the cart came to the next
village. The horses, trained by long
habit, stopped at the village traders,
and the koopyets himself came out to
greet Aksenov. When he caught
sight Of him stretched out on the
floor Of the wagon, stream Of blood
flowing from his breast, he called to
some moujlks for help.
There, grasped tight in Aksenov'a
hand, they found his knife with inl
tials carved in the handle.
"They are his own initials" ex.
