 Superior Squadron.
 St. Petersburg, Feb. 19.-The govern ments report. of the naval action off Chemulpo. Korea. Feb. 8. says the Rus sian boats Variag and Korietz sank a Japanese cruiser and a torpedo boat de- gtroyer and crippled another vessel. The officers of these two Russian ships in their reports show admirable handling of their warships in the face of over whelming odds.
 The officers confirm the statements that when the Japanese squadron of eight warships appeared off ChemuIpo, they were met by the small torpedo gun boat Korietz, which had been sent ou to reconnoiter; that the Korietz on sight ing the Japanese squadron immediately returned to the harbor and rejoined the Variag and that the Japanese followed to the mouth of the harbor and sent the cruisers peremptory summons to surren- der.
 This message. the officers say. was dis regarded whereupon the Japanese threat ened to enter the harbor and engage the Russians there. As this would have en- dangered the other vessels in the har- bor including the French and other for eign Warships, Captain Roudneff, of the Variag, as senior officer, boldly gave or ders that both vessels steam out and meet the enemy.
 The fight outside between the Variag and KorietE and the eight Japanese war ships resulted, according to the officers report, in the sinking of two Japanese warships. one cruiser and one torpedo boat destroyer. and the crippling of a third vessel.
 The Russian ships were repeatedly struck, but they succeeded in re-enter- ing the harbor, where the captains de- clined to blow up their ships to prevent them from falling into the hands, of the enemy. The survivors of the crews were taken off and the two warships were set on hre The Russians also blew up a emaI1 steamer which was acting as a tender to the Variag.
 There ia question of Russia making a protest against the Japanese attack as a breach of Korean neutrality, as Korea. being occupied by Japanese troops has lost her neutral character.

REMARKABLE
Negro, Who Threw a Powerful Steer
With His Teeth.
(Harper's Weekly

The great event at Cheyenne this
year was the remarkable feat of Will
Pickett, negro, mailing from Taylor,
Texas, who gave his exhibition while
10000 people watched with wonder
and admiration a mere man, unarmed
and without a device or appliance
of any kind, attack fiery, wild eyed
and powerful steer and throw it by
his teeth. With the aid of helper,
Pickett chased the steer until he was
in front Of the grand stand. Then
he jumped from the saddle and land
ed on the back of the animal, grasp
ed its horns, and brought it to stop
within a dozen feet. BY a remark
able display of strength he twisted
the steers head until its nose pointed
straight into the air, the animal bel
lowing with pain and its tongue pro-
truding in its effort to secure air.
Again and again the negro was jerked
from his feet and tossed into the
air, but his grip on the horns never
once loosened, and the steer failed
in its effort to gore him. Cowboys
with their lariats rushed to Pickett s
assistance, but the action of the COM
bat was too rapid for them. Be-
fore help could be given, Pickett,
who had forced the steers nose into
the mud shut off his wind, slipped,
and was tossed aside like a piece Of
paper. There was scattering of
cowboys as he jumped to his feet and
ran for his horse. Taking the saddle
without touching the stirrups, he ran
the steer to a point opposite the
judges stand, again jumped on to its
back, and threw it. Twice was the
negro lifted from his feet, but he
held, on with the tenacity of bull
dog. Suddenly Pickett dropped the
steers head and grasped the upper
lip Of the animal with his teeth,
threw his arms wide apart, to show
that he was not using his hands, and
sank slowly upon his back. The steer
lost its footing and rolled upon its
back, completely covering the ne
gro's body with its own. The crowd
was speechless with horror, many be-
lieving that the negro had been
crushed: but second later the steer
rolled to its other side, and Pickett
arose uninjured, bowling and smiling.

HOW TO GAIN FLESH

The life of food is the fat
within 1.-THE more fat the
more real benefit from the
food; that is why cod liver
oil is a powerful builder of
flesh.
SCOTS Emulsion of pure
cod liver oil solves the prob
lem of how to take cod liver
oil. That is one reason why
doctors have been prescrib-
ing SCOTS Emulsion for all
wasting diseases. coughs, colds
and bronchitis for almost
thirty years.
One of the inducements
offered In order to substitute
something else for SCOTS
Emulsion is the matter of
cost. You save a few cents
at the expense of your health.
SCOTS Emulsion costs more
because it does more and does
it better than the substitutes.
