all trains that passed through Colum-

time of the robbery are being held up
by the officers and carefully inspected
by them to ascertain if the bandits are
undertaking to escape in this way. The

for the time being, the officers directing
the search have arranged to keep

The robbery took place at 1906 at
place known as Whisky Hollow. six
miles out of Muscatine and near Fruit
land. The train, known as No. IL, is a
through Chicago and Kansas City
train. The robbery was at the end OF
sharp curve and exactly where a sim
liar holdup was engineered two years
ago by the Chicago car barn bandits.
The engineer, as the train rounded the
curve saw a red lantern the track
and stopped the train. Immediately
the express and baggage and engine
were boarded by the robbers, apparent
ly five in number. A fuSillade Of shots
was fired along the sides of the train to
prevent interference by passengers. The
messenger of the express car was COM

was left standing on the track.
The manner in which they handled
the engine, the knowledge of the fact
that Let's was a closed station and
abandoning the engine near Columbus
Junction, convinces the officers tnat the
robbers or some of them are experY
fenced railroad men.

tinuous struggling. General Kuropat-
kin was defeated, but after holding
his ground for four days he effected
a mastery retirement along the rails

half of his men who were killed in
action.
The part that the japanese under
command of General Knroki played
in the conflict was remarkable. From
the 25th to the 30th of August, when,
they effected a junction with the other
Japanese armies around Lao Yang

enemy before him. He then made
rapid change of base from Anping
to point on the eastern side of the
railroad with his left wing ten miles
north of Lao Yang, thus leaving
wide gap between his troops and the
main body of the Japanese The pur-
pose Cf General Kuroki was to cut
the railroad. which was General Kuro-
patkins only possible avenue of re-
treat. and attempt a surrounding
movement. On the night of Septem-
Der his force reached a position two
or three miles from the railroad with
the right division ready to strike but
General KurOpatkin was able to send
a superior force against him and hold
him at bay while the Russian armV
made good its retreat. For two DAYS
it seemed possible that the Russians
might assume the offensive on a large
scale and perhaps force the Japanese

position. This morning, September 5,

cry out in the hours of the night and he
who held the gift within his heart locks
forgiveness fast within his soul as some
thing sacred which the offender did not
want. And each goes on his way. But in
each heart holy thing lies dead
Dead is the spirit that would be forgiven,

that while il glories in its victory will not

In the heart OF that one wronged lies
dead a trust, a confidence, fond belief in

pride dominating YOUR life? Is pride
stiffening YOUR tongue when YOUR

that BETTER SELF within your heart?
What is pride that it should rule the
soul! What is pride that it should guide
the tongue? What is pride that it should
usurp the throne sacred to the nobler and
higher self?
What JOY can pride give when the friend
you wronged is beyond the reach of your
hand, beyond the sound of your voice

offer as comfort when father, mother, sis.

AFRAID TO SAY "FORGIVE"

"Forgive!" the heart cries, and pride
calls out, 'Be stili'
A thoughtess word. an ill-timed jest, an
unkind laugh and brother, sister, father,
mother, friend is panied
Forgive the heart cries, but pride
seals the lips.
In the long hours of the night the heart
OF the one who has injured brother or
friend yearns for the forgiveness which the
tongue has refused TO ask Morning comes
and pride * ever ready with reasons why
that other is the one to blame. Let him,
that other be the one to ask. Let the
other sue. Why should you acknowledge
a wrong? Why seek forgiveness? 1t Is
folly. II * weakness. Think of that

brought You humbled to his knees
The bright light OF the day dspels the

But pride, indignant asks: why should
YOU stoop? Why should YOU bow your

One day and then another passes. Each
makes it harder for the one to sue and for
the other, in his heart, to grant forgiveness
for the wrong. They meet, the two. Each
feels the other has forgotten. To one for

other, it is a hope that the first injury was
not felt. And ever-ready pride whispers,
