KUROKPS STORY
OF HARDSHIPS

TOKYO. Sept. IA dispatch from
Kuroki. covering his operations from
August 2S 20 September 8, has been is
sued.
It is a long. unimpsssioned record Of
movements and combats, indirectly tes-
tifying TO the desperate character Of
the struggle Of his army in face of a
resolute. Cnfinching enemy.
he confirms the report that he was cut
OF from the other japanese armies for
twenty hours on September .. The re-
port says:
Our difficulties reached the utmost.
The officers and men were unable TO get
food or a drop Of water. All had TO sat
isfy their hunger with unbOiied rice
This was during the combat around
Heiyingtai. where the Russian resist
ance succeeded in covering the retreat
The Typographical features afforded the
japanese artillery the most disadvanta-
geous position, and communication was
cut on all sides by the enemy's shells.
The forts at Huughopao have had their
armament increased by from ten to
thirty guns. in proportion TO their size.
8 Dispatches from Moji state that the
japanese right army, under Kuroki, oc-
cupied the Russians position at Fan

" STUMPED"
Coffee Put Her In Bad Shape.

one Of the worst coffee experiences Is
the case OF a Danvllle. Va, lady. who
says:
I have been married five years and
always had good health until the spring
after my second child was born. I'm 1901,
my health began giving away. I was
coffee drinker, and commenced having
many pains about my heart after eat
ing, was very nervous and kept getting
worse until June.
My physician could not help me, and
I took everything 7 could think OF, but
kept getting worse; so in August saw
another doctor who said had nervous
dyspepsia. but who did not help me any.
and by that time ! was so nervous Il
seemed I would go crazy. did not have
energy for anything. and could hardly
eat anything, ana became so weak /
could hardly walk, had 20 stop nursing
my baby. and in September l changed
my physician again The next one said
1 had female trouble, that would have
20 be operated on; but 1 would not have
that, so I kept changing physicians. and
some would say one thing, and some an
other. and still ] got worse. until De-
cember. when I commenced with nerv-

nervous I could not eat anything

-Gellett Burgess.
Men with a desire 70 see purple cows,
or cows of almost any other color that
cows don't grow. will revel in the So
called color photography which a
FreT nman alleges he has discovered.
Advertisements Of the new French
process announce that all the colors of
nature are reproduced from an ordi-
nary film or plate by the use Of mar
velously prepared paper which Is so
sensitized that It catches the wave
lengths Of the various colors from the
plate and reproduces them more faith
fully than a skilled artist.
A Washington scientist who is much
interested in photography ordered some
of the French paper and has produced
results which he says are more wonder
ful than some Of the impressionistic
pictures in tho COrcOran Art Gallery.
Il got cOlors, more colors than I bar
gained for explained the scientist
laughingly. Il got landscapes with
cows in them Of nearly all the colors Of
the rainbow and houses that were won

Bicycle Lawn Mower.

For the proprietor of a moderate size
suburban place who wants a carpet
like lawn without the expense of a
horse-drawn or automobile grass cut
ter the bicycle lawn mower has been
designed. A velvety stretch Of green
grass can only be maintained by fire.
quent cropping, and the lawn mower
Of the ordinary type has it's limitations.
A lawn Of even moderate proportions
becomes a. burden when it must be
traversed frequently behind a lawn
mower. The combination of the bicy.
Gle and lawn mower is IN ideal one
under such circumstances. The prin.
ciple is much the same as that EN-.
ployed in the horse-drawn mower with
the re%ciprocating blades. The rear
wheels Of the combination are geared
to drive the cutting blades, which are
supported on a movable arm, at a
point abreast of the front wheel, where
its operation is constantly under the
eye Of the operator. The position of
these blades with respect to the ground
is easily saised and lowered at the will
Of the Sperator for the purpose OF
overcoming my inequalities in the sur.
face of the lawn.
BY the use Of gearing connecting the
driving wSeels with the cutters it lie
possible 20 cut a greater swath
through tle grass than with the ordi.
nary type Of lawn mower, and thus the
lawn can be covered in much less
time and with less exertion.

Here is a story apropos OF the matri.

cepted a damsel of 81. whose name

ing to the lady, told her frankly that
Nj. "X." was not an Adonis. but pos
sessed more sterling qualities than
beauty. At the same time he intend
ed to send her a carte-de-visite of the
gentleman, but by mistake slipped in
to the letter a vignette portrait of a
favorite ape. Next morning he discov-
cred his error, but at the same time
received a note from the lady saying:

OF flowers that lend themselves to the

sounding board V the pulpit, and
after putting it right he called in his
coachman with a view to testing it,
and made a speech from the pulpit.
How does that sound, James,"
ut sounds very we'll. master; I
heard every word" replied the coach
man.
Now, James, you change places
with me. and say something"
James at once entered the pulpit
and said very distinctly, and even en-
phatically: Il haven't had any wages
fer a month. How does that sound,
