Almost before the Turcoman could
denounce him Obrubcheff sprang to
his feet, drew his sword. rushed to

land in recent years; in the absorp-
tion of Manchuria, and in the threat
ened attacks on Corea, his hand is
plainly to be seen by any one familiar
with Russian politics.
Before becoming minister of war,
Kouropatkln commanded the Russian
army. He would probably command
it again in the field in any campaign
that amounted to a national emer-
gency, for he is unquestionably Rus
! sia's greatest general.
He is the idol of the army. for Sko-
belief is name to conjure with in the
Russian service. and he was Skobe-
lens righthand man in four campaigns
tho RussoTurkish war. the Khivan
expedition and the Khokandese and
Merv campaigns.
One of Kouropatkin's strongest sup
porters to-day is the same Gen. Amen
koff who admired his march through
the desert to join Skobeleff before
Cock Tepe.
Gen. Annenkoff made a great repu-
tation by building strategic railways
in Central Asia, and his was the vast
oththC AOA II llHt " tut
Pacific. He first outlined that plan in
detail during visit to Paris in 1891.
Many so-called practical men
laughed at him them. but his ideas
have since produced the greatest rail-
road in the world. at an admitted cost
of 955.000.oo0. and perhaps a great
deal more.
Michael Anneukoff was born in
1898. and received his first commits
sion in the Russian army in 1863. He
is an older veteran than Kouropatkin,
for he served as stan captain dur
ing the Polish insurrection, and rose
TO the rank of colonel at the remark
ably low age of 2S.
Gen. Annenkoff has played leading
Fart in the inrrigucs against England
on the Indian frontier. and is credited
with having at least fifty specific
schemes for conquering India pigeon
holed In his desk
Another well known Russian sol
dier, who might be expected to play
leading part in time of war. is Gen.
Obrubcheff. He is the hero of hun

Central Asian campaigns. and enjoys

declared would take lifetime.
Geek Tepe. the great stronghold of
the Fircomans. was carried by assault
after months siege. The brunt of
the attack fell on Kouropatkin. who
commanded a body OF light troops
from Turkestan.
1t was a great victory. but 1t sullied
the reputation of both the Russian
leaders, They ordered their troops to
give no quarter to the Turcomans of
either sex, and all the horrors usual
when such orders are given were per-
petrated
Spectators say that even when the
Turcomans fed in disorderly mob
across the desert. men, women and
children mingled together, no mercy
was shown to them. Artillery and
cavalry followed in their rear and
moved them down until darkness put
an end to the pursuit
In that few hours chase / 900 pur-
suing Russians slaughtered 5000 fu-
gitives. while over six. thousand were
massacred in the fortified camp of

witch, who acted as Interpreter in the
Russian forces. The morning after
the battle they lay in rows like fresh
ly mown hay, as they had been swept
down by the mitrailleurs and artillery.
Hundreds Of women were sabred.
and | myself saw babies bayoneted or
slashed to pieces. The troops. mad
with drink and the lust of fighting,
were allowed to plunder and kill for
three days after the assault"
This is the single great blot on Gen.
Kouropatkin's record. II is true that
he was not in supreme command. but
his Turkestan troops played the lead
ing part In the slaughter.
He is a great leader of men. The
march OF his Turkestan contingent
across the almost unknown deserts of
Central Asia. in order to join Skobe-
leff for the siege OF Cock Tepe, was
as fine an achievement as Lord Rob
erts' famous march to Candahar.
"Kouropatkin," said Gen. Amen
koff. who met him at the end of the
march, had been for twenty-six days
marching over sandy and waterless
desert. yet his force marched in clean
and trim, and as fresh as a daisy"

stalked the most terrible and awe in
spring object have ever seen In my
life. 1t was Skobeleff, whom | knew
well. but had to look twice before
recognized him.
"His smart generals uniform was
torn into shreds and stained with
blood and gunpowder from head to
foot. His sword, which he held In his
hand, was simply smothered in blood.
and great drops OF 1t fell on the floor
of the tent as he greeted me.
There was a terrible cash across
the top of his forehead, and his eyes
still blazed with the fierce excitement
of the hand-to-hand fight which he had
just had with hundreds of Turks.
while he stood there telling me
about the battle. his favorite Captain
Kouropatkin, came up and caIled him
away to decide about the disposition
of some of the prisoners. Kouropat-
kin looked even more like god of
war fresh from the scene OF carnage
He was bleeding from half dozen
wounds. but he stood as steady as
rock when he saluted Skobeleff. The
latter suggested that he had better go
into the hospital, but he curtly re-
piled:
mo. general. There is work to be
done"
Il heard afterward that SkobeIeff
and Kouropatkin had fought side by
side throughout that bloody day, and
had slain the Turks literally by doz-
ems. Their exploits formed the theme
of many story told beside the camp
fires of both armies throughout the
campaign"
Capt. Kouropatl1in, who was the
right-hand man of Skobeleff all
thr' h the Russo-Turkish war. as
well as in the fight at Plevna, is now
Gen. Kouropatkin, the cars minister
of war, and the most noted of all the
Russian fighting men.

and fine generalship at the capture of

The Robust Physique Can Stand More
Coffee Than a Weak One.


A young virginian says: Having
a naturally robust constitution far
above the average and not having a
nervous temperament, my system was
able to resist the inroads upon It
by the use Of coffee for some years but
finally the strain began to tell.
For ten years have been employ
ed as telegraph operator and type
writer by railroad In this section
and until two years ago had used cof-
fee continually from the time l was
eight years old. nearly 20 years.
THE work of operating the tele-
graph key Is a great strain upon the
nerves and after the days work was
over | would feel nervous, irritable,
run down and toward the last suffer-
ed greatly from insomnia and neu-
ralgia. As l never indulged in intoxi-
eating liquors, drugs or tobacco In
any form came to the conclusion
that coffee and tea were causing the
gradual breakdown OF my nervous
system and having read an article in
the Medical Magazine on tho compost
tion OF coffee and its toxic effect upon
the system. l was fully convinced that
cofee was the cause of my trouble.
Seeing Postum spoken OF as not
having any OF the deteriorating Ell
fects of coffee decided to give up the
stimulant and give Postum trial. The
result was agreeably surprising. After
time my nerves became wonderfully
strong. l can do all my work at the

greater ease than ever before. My
