JAPANESE FLEET ATTACKS PORT ARTHUR.
KUR0PATKIN WANTS FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND MEN

The surprising and almost astound'
in6 latest news is that General kuro-
patkin will not go to the front as was
previously announced in three days
time, but not for several weeks. The
reason for this, is that II is not worth
while for him to go therp until 100000
Russian soldiers are gathered at the
seat of war. In fact, he cannot take
the offensive until that number is
forthcoming. The present force avail.
able outside of the heavI contingent
guarding the railroad does not exceed
130, 1000 men.
General Kuropatkin, 1t Is remem.
bered, was recently in Japan, where
he formed a very high opinion of the
efficiency of the Japanese troops. II
may also be recollected that he be-
longs to the anti.war party At re-
cent audience with the Emperor, Gen
eral Kuropatkin spoke very openly
about the necessity of his having
large number Of troops, and he is fur
ther credited with having said: Your
majesty will need me back soon to
look after European developments" -
and very propably the key to this is
given in the statement of a widely
known Russian International iurist,
who says 1t is quite possible that Rus.
sia will wage war concerning the Thi-
betan question, but with Thibet the
only ostensible cause to be used in
case England should make any move
of too friendly nature toward Japan.

BEARERS OF BURDENS

Useless self.Pity Makes Us cowards.
No Man Should PLY the Baby Act.

In some form OF other we ere ali
burden-bearers, says the "Parsoa IN
The Washington Post. Sometimes the
weight presses hard. And In NO re-
spect Is there sharper difference be-
tween men than in the way In which
they carry their respective bardens
What, then, is the secret OF susoessfH
burden-bearing?
In the last analysis much depends on
pne's fund OF courage. Most q - are
tempted to whimper over our burdens.
We say to ourselves, II not 70 others:
II can't carry another ounce Eve mad

or I've been suddenly called apon to
support a distant relative, OF I'm
bearing more than my share of respon-
sibility in the church or In the club.
and can't stand 1t much longer" Then
before we know 1t tho habit 0 self
pity grows upon us and instead OF fac
Ing our burdens like heroes We draw
back from them like cowartR.
A beautiful woman, one Of the army
Of "shut-ins," and herself wasting away
with consumption, said to me when
boy: God will never pat anything
upon you too heavy for you 10 bear"
The years have confirmed the truth OF
that prophecy. Certainly no man ought
to play the baby act because Of his bur-
dens. He may undertake Of his own
volition to do too many things at once.
but the things which are put upon him
to bear by higher power he ought TO
stand up to man-fashion and not be
perpetually whining about them in pub
lie or bemoaning them in private.
1t helps, too, to look upon ones fell
lowmen and realize that each Is carry
ing burdens, too. You are not the
scapegoat of the human race while ev-
erybody else moves through life dane

But very few people have as much to

but you have probably forgotten the IA

When they had come together he com
manded that all the burdens be massed
in one great pile.
Then by lot he selected one man to
help himself from the pile to the bur-
den which seemed to him the lightest
and most agreeable. After walking
around the pile and looking carefully
at all the other burdens, he selected the
very one he had brought. So did No. 2
and No. 3. and so on through the list.
Finally all went silently home with
their old burdens. but with eontented
hearts. There is deal OF philosophy
In this ancient tale. You are better or

Russian Account Of Attack.


St. Petersburg. Feb. 27.-A dispatch
from Port Arthur says the Japanese
torpedo boat attack Of Feb. Is result.
ed In a Russian success. The accurate
shooting of the batteries inflicted
losses on the enemy and caused the
boiler Of one OF the Japanese torpedo
boats to explode. Early in the morn.
ing a japanese fleet consisting Of six
battleships and four cruisers appeared
on the horizon. The Russian cruisers
Askold. Bayan and Novlk were then in
the harbor and the japanese torpedo
boats advanced to within 80 or 35
cable lengths TO attack them. The
Iapaneses battleships and cruisers
Icparated and then advanced against
TWO Russian torpedo boats cruising in
Pigeon bay. One Of the latter broke
through the enemy's lines under hot
are and reached the harbor. At l0:i5
o'clock fierce engagement took place
between a japanese battleshlp and the
Russian cruisers supported by. the
shore batteries. In view OF the su-
pcriurIty Of the onemy's six battle.
ships over the three Russian cruisers,
the latter were withdrawn. The enemy
ceased fire at l1:25 o'clock and at
l2 o'clock the japanese cruisers
which were chasing the Russian
torpedo boats began to fire on the
forts, but the firing did not last long
The japanese maneuvering was
clumsy. and In turning their vessels
came 70 close to one another that
Russian shells could be seen falling on
them as they huddlcd together. A
Japanese torpedo boat which was
driven ashore near Dielywool is sup.
