On the evening of the 2oth of August
the Russian army lay entrenched in a
semicircle about the city of Lao Yang
The center and the right wing were
posted on chain of hills in which were
three prominent elevations. Opposite
the Russian lines lay the japanese army
in a huge horseshoe. General Oku's
army was on the left, General Takushan
in the center and General Kuroki on
the right. In the Takushan army were
two divisions and in Kuroki's were four.
General OkSu had between three and
four hundred guns in the cane fields in
which his army was encamped. The
Russians maintained two lines of de-
fence.
The battle began with the attempt of
General Kuroki to cut off Kuropatl1in's

Oku's cavalry and Stakelberg's corps.

SCHOOL FOR MESA CHILDREN.
Little Ones Climb Down Immense Rock
to Get Instruction.
From the Youths Companion.

From the Youths Companion
The home of the Oraibi branch of the
Mouui Indians is mesa 800 feet hish' ui''''
which the old Indians practice the Snake
dance and other favorite ceremonies OF the
tribe But it Is probable that the coming
seneration or. perhaps, the present one
will grow out of these things. The white
man with his school house and other
usages of civilization has found the young
Indians and made friends of them.
few years ago these Indians OF the
mesa were considered hostile because they
exhibited more opposition to the influence
of the whites than did the other Moqhs.
When it was proposed to build school
house at the base of the mesa and to place
all the children in school, the parents STUB
bornly refused to permit it, But a house
was built and after long and persistent
effort every child of proper age was en-
rolled as pupil. The Indians, VINO had
so vigorously opposed at first, became zeal
Gus friends of the school as soon as they
saw the results of it.
The enterprise has been very successful,
and now one may stand near the school at
o'clock in the morning, and looking up al
the plateau 800 feet above, see suddenly
curious thing Little children. looking
like dolls. begin to appear over the edge OF
the mesa. One child comes into view be-
hind another, and soon the face of the
great rock is alive with the little creatures
as they descend. in single file, the steep,
zigZag path leading to the base of the
mesa and the school. The little folk seem
to be hanging to the wall of the immense
rock as they slowly descend the face of It,
They keep pouring over the edge at the top,
and the head of the line has reached the
school on the plain below before the last
of 1t leaves the mesa.
When the struggling line comes fully into
view it is nearly half mile long. fancl-
full person might see in its convolutions on
the path some resemblance to the move
meEts of snake, and think of it as tho
snake dance with which the young Indians
have replaced that of their grandfathers.
In this school there are 175 children and
in regularity of attendance 1t is said to
head the list of Indian day schools In all
the country fine large new building,
costing between So 900 and 81 900. has taken
the place of the first school house. New
clothes. such white children wear, are
supplied the pupils when they enter school.
The children are fond of their lessons, and
the teachers have but few complaints to
make of bad behavior.

Mark and Luke needed no second invita-
ton. The ride was a success The Sharp
boys proposed trying it again. and Jim
wagon back. Three, four, five times they
rode. for Jim was proud as the owner OF
something that could give them all such
fun. The road turned at the foot of the
hill, and it was glorious to steer the cart
spinning around that bend. At last Jim
rand, so the boys pulled the cart up the
hill and Jim went down alone. waving his
hand goodbye from the foot of the hill.
Mark said Luke, IF We only had such
a Cart
At once they started to hunt all over the
place to see if there wasn't one that had
belonged to Cousin Leonard. In this they
cid mot succeed, though they did find an
old phaeton to which Cousin Leonard used
to drive his little pony.
20, Lukey, wouldn't this be fine to ride
down hill inr' exclaimed Mark.
Luke agreed that it would, and without
more discussion they ran it out from under
the shed 1t was a delight to find how easy
it ran. They had no trouble at all getting
it to the road and the top of the hill.
What to do with the shafts puzzled them
at first, but they soon found that by kneel-
ing in the bottom of the phaeton and lean
ing out over the dashboard they could each
reach a shaft That enough. They
did not see that they could do no steering
this way.
When all was ready Luke held the shafts
up while Mark reached around and by
few pulls on the spokes of the hind wheel
set the vehicle going.
And how it did go! Jim Huddleson's cart
was an old slow coach in comparison.
Their delight was intense.

Inside of half an hour Jim Huddleson

But this particular morAing he happened

dooryard and the road, his head bent down

sadly. Poor old man. Poor boy, Hank!

the captains voice proceeded. 1t was drawn

In an instant sturdy arms were pulling

Then great cheer went up. drowning the
roar of the storm itself. the crew gath

served to explain what had happened.
Bob, with his eye on the captain, mad

one end of the light tough rope on which he
sat was secured to the bulwark. for he had
tied the knot that very day. Without paus-
Ing to think of his own danger, he took
the free end of the rope between his teeth
and was in the water almost as soon as the
captain himself.
Though he could swim like a duck, he
was borne helplesSly along on the crest of

Parker, who caught him he sweep

The storm blew itself out during the

Early in the morning Capt. Parker sent
