directly across the course which hun

which was long unknown-was too
high to be surmounted by pack ami

BABY ON A BATTLEFIELD.
Suddenly Found One Day in the Thick
Of the Fight.

NV s'S"s
Perhaps the %strangest incident of
the ChinO.Japanese war vas the ap-
pearance of the famous Wei-hai-wei
baby. II is discussed to this day in
every Japanese barracks and the story
is told to the tourist who foregathers
with the soldiers.
During the lull Of the land attack on
n of the forts a Chinese woman sud
denly made her appearance on the FIR
ing line Of the sixth division. She
was h%urriedly ordered to the rear and
disappeared. A few minutes after
ward a lusty baby boy was found on
the ground beside a gun. Capt. Higu-
chi Seizaburo. who is a man of family,
picked up the baby.
The bugle rang out for the advance
of a storming party on the fort. The
captain tried to hand his tiny captive
over to "A Chinese prisoner, but the
youngster yelled az II he would go
into commissions. He did not want to
leave his friend the enemy.
The bugle rang out again. and, with
the baby on one arm and his sworn in
the other, the captain led the charge
and captured the fort. The baby
nestled to his breast, untroubled by
the roar of battle, and passed safely
through the fight. After 1t was all
over a home was found for him in a
Chinese village.

Holidays.

The hottest of all holidays are those
Kept by ourselves In silence and apart:
The secret anniversaries of the heart.
When the fun river of feeling overnows;
The happy days unclouded to their close:
The sudden joys that out of darkness
AS flames from ashes: swift desires that
dart
Like swallows singing down each wind
that blows,
White as the CLEAN OF a recedlng sail,
White as. the cloud that floats and fades
In air.
white as the whitest lily on a stream.
These tender memories are: a fairy tale
OF some enchanted land, we know not
where,
But lovely az n landscape In a dream.

 The Standard publishes a dispatch rom Russian correspondent in whom the paper says it places great confidence containing most sensational statements regarding the alarming condition of Rus sia as result of the war. The corre- spondent asserts that disturbances in various cities have been followed by wholesale executions without any civil trial. It is stated that 600 persons have been hanged In Cronstadt and Moscow, At the latter place the troops buried eighty coffins containing the bodies of those who had been hanged. The bodies were buried secretly in the dead of night, presumably In the woods.
 This Correspondent asserts that the war has resulted in the utter paralysis of all business, and says that even the most soberminded are drawing omnous con clusions from the significant fact that regiments stationed in European Russia have been retained in their places, and that only reserves have been mobolzed for the front
