Battle in the Manchurian Mount
aims.

The official announcement comes
from Toxic today that the Japanese
have occupied the summit of 2o3 Me-
tre Hill. This important position has
been the object of severe and contin-
uous fighting, and cable reports from
time to tim heave indicated that ma
ny men have been sacrificed in the
effort to capture it. 2o3 Metre Hill is
the dominating height in the range
of hills which lies to the westward of
the town of Port Arthur, and accord

the main town. Its approximate dis

fenses is three or four miles. Reports
from both Toxic and ST. Petersburg

more or less severe nature are occur
ring along the front of the Manchur-
ian armies, but it is not apparent that

Curious Experience OF Partisan Lady OF
Position.

Clr.ons Experience OF n Partisan Lady OF
Position.
The recent experience Of Partisan
lady of position, writes Miranda in the
Lady's Pictorial, may serve as useful
warning to some of my readers who
reside abroad. The lady in question
returned from ball one night much
earlier than she had given her servants
reason to expect, and to her consterna-
ton found three members Of her
household missing, the nurse, the
houscmaid and-the baby! Greatly
terrified, she rushed to the concierge
to make inquiries, and after some pre-
varication the man informed her that
the two servants, fancying their mis-
tress would not return for some hours,
had gone to notorious dancing place,
taking the baby with them, and there
the lady would be certain to find all
three quite safe and sound" AS the
master of the house was absent, the
distracted mother went to seek male
relative, and together they visited the
locality indicated, where they found
the two women drinking with friends,
bnt no baby. In reply to frantic in
uuiries after her child, the housemaid
impudently told her mistress-whose
smartest new gown she had borrowed
for the evening, by the way-"that
madam need not excite herself, the
infant was in good hands" At first
she refused to say where; but by dint
III threats it was dragged from her
that the child had been taken to low

parent found her precious offspring
