A TRIBUTE TO THE DOG.
one OF the Thlnss That Gave Senator
Vest Fame as an Orator.

Vest was a great debater and an
eioqueht orator who was at his best
IN eXtempore speech. His plea before
the Jury in a case wherein one man
sued another for damages inflicted by
dogs bite Is famous:
Gentlemen OF the jury, the best
friend man has in the world may
turn against him and become his enc
my. His son or daughter that he has
reared with loving care may prove un
grateful. Those who are nearest and
dearest to us. those whom we trust
with our happiness and good name,
may become traitors to their faith.
The money that man has he may lose
1t flies away from him. perhaps when
he needs 1t most. A mans reputation
may be sacrificed in q moment OF i'll
considered action. The people who are
prone to fall on their knees to do us
honor when success Is with us may
be the first to throw the stone Of
malice when failure settles its cloud
upon our heads.
1.-THE one absolutely unselflsh friend
that a man can have in this selfish
world, the one that never deserts him,
the one that never proves ungrateful.
or treacherous. is his dog. A mans
dog stands by him in prosperity and
in poverty, in death and in sickness.
He Will sleep on the cold ground,
where the wintry winds blow and the
snow drives fercely. II only he may
be near his masters side. He will
kiss the hand that has no food to Of
fer. He will lick the wounds and
sores that come in encounter with the
roughness of the world. He guards the
sleep OF his pauper master as II he
were a prince. When all other friends
desert he remains. When riches take
wings and reputation falls to pieces
he is as constant In his love as the
sun in its journeys through the heav
ems. II fortune drives the master forth
an outcast in the world. friendless and
homeless, the faithful dog asks no
higher privilege than that of accom-
panying him, to guard against danger,
to fight against his enemies.
"And when the last scene of all
comes and death takes the master in
its embrace, and his body is laid away
in the cold ground, no matter II all
other friends pursue their way, there
by his graveside will the noble dog
be found. his head between his paws,
his eyes sad, but open i'll alert watch
fulness, faithful and true even IN
death. Kansas City Journal.

PORT ARTHUR THE GOAL.
kuropatkin viii Fight His Way to
Rescue OF Garrison.

st. Petersburg The news OF Gen.
Kuropatkin's southern movement Is
greeted with Joy throughout Russia
and by the press of st. Petersburg with
deep thankfulness and an expression
of confidence that 1t marks the turn
Ing point In the campaign.
There Is little detailed comment on
the situation, but the expectation is ex'
pressed that coming battles will be
even more serious than those Of the
past, and that while Russian arms are
destined to ultimate victory it will be
bought at the expense of much blood
and suffering, and that it Is a pros
pect to be looked upon seriously. The
Russ" says:
Our advance has begun. That great
thing we know cannot be uninter-
rupted triumph, We are facing pow
erful and cunning enemy, The Japa-
nese have not failed to take advantage
of naturally strong positions and Iorti-
fy them to the utmost.
Our movement morally will be
easier because we are going forward
instead of retreating, but materially
1t will be even more awful than the
past. We are going to victory, but
must be prepared to pay heavy
price
The "Novosti" expresses unqualifled
confidence in Gen. kuropatkin ana
says:
"Thjs Is the man who at the begin
ming of the war said: Patience, pa
tience and again patience We have
awaited in obedience fer his words:
Now the time has come to turn south
ward
Advance now will be no idle word,
Kuropatkin is going through to save
his comrades at Port Arthur, though
he may have to defeat four opposing
armies to do so. But our soldiers are
happy. 1t is not nature to desire
Russian troops to retire

Russians Isolated.

Tokio.-General activity has been re-
sumed in the theatre of war. 1t is
believed here that general engage
ment is progressing between Liaoyang
and Mukdn.
Field Marshal Oyama has met Gen.
Kuropatkin's advance with general
advance of the main strength OF his
force along broad front.
The opposing forces were in touch
Yesterday, and It is believed that a
great battle south of the Hun river
is inevitable.
Besides this direct movement the
Russians are attempting to strike the
Japanese right at two points widely
separated.
A considerable force OF Russians
which was sent across the Taiste river,
IS miles east Of LiaOyang, has appar'
emily been isolated by the japanese
cutting its rear, and the report OF It's
defeat or capture is expected.

Apprehe nsion at st. Petersburg.

st. Petersburg-I is now midnight
on the battlefield below Mukden, and
the failure to receive news that the
Russians achieved decisive results in
today's fight north of Yentai, coupled
with the Toxic report that Field Mar
shal Oyama is gaining ground, causes
increased apprehension.
The dispatch of the Associated Press
from Toxic was the first positive in
formation that Russian troops in any
force were already across the Taitse
river, although 1t was already known
here that some cavalry had passed
over the river, but the reports that am
9th, ,r column was attempting to cut
the japanese line of communication
with the Yalu river did not come as a
surprise. as 1t was known, although not
revealed for strategic reasons, that
wide turning operations were proceed
ing on the Russian extreme left
screened by the column eperAtina
against Shanpintaidze.
