This is true story.
About the middle OF the last century
there lived ii France a sickly little

and bis mother desired TO give him an
education To do this she practced
pincbing economy and often worked In
The fields. as so many peasant women

the first day Of the siege a shell fell
at his feet and wounded him He was
carried to his home in the country,
where ne lay In and idle for two years.
The work on bis picture for the salon
had been ruined during the siege by a
shell that exploded in his studio, but
Rastian could not remain idle always
and as be was too delicate for manual
labor he resolved TO return to Paris.
There was 40 prospect OF his making
a success at painting pictures to sell

fans. But even this was high art
compared With what followed. One
day a patent medicine manufacturer
gave him an order to paint picture

a group Of young girls The advertis-
ing feature was that the fountain came
from the spring Of the elixir Of youth,
or the patent medicine.
Bastian. being true artist, while
he worked forgot the ignoble use to
which his picture was to be put and
became absorbed In it. The landscape
and the dancing girls under his touch
became things Of beauty. The coloring
was delicious: the delicate leaves shone
in the soft April sunlight; the maidens
became living beings. fair and grace
full.
When the picture was finished its
creator looked at it, and the melan-
cboly fact came upon him that It was
to be used as an advertisement He
could not resign himself TO believe that
1t was not fitted for better purpose.
Indeed, he was much pleased with his
work While he was musing before 1t

Bastian explained that such a fea-

angrily Then ! viii not pay you a
sou for It.
Bastian was in despair He could
not give up the price of his labor with
ont going hungry. There was but a
slender chance or the pictures being
accepted 1t the salon Hundreds Of
hopeful artists send pictures there to
have them refused. Would he not meet
the same fates Nevertheless there was
something 50 attractive about his pie

It by glaring advertisement. He re-

Then came a weary waiting while

news came that his picture had been
admitted.
II was relief, but did not insure
success. Would it have a place before

prize itl
The result. though II did not all come
at once. was pronounced. The picture
attracted great attention, sold for a
good price. and orders came for others
Bastian, relieved Of his distress and
finding himself enabled to do the best
work, left OF painting fans, and so
far as pictures for advertisements were
concerned be was foated far above
them. He became a patient laborer In
an exalted field and In time produced
pictures that placed him among the
greatest French painters.
But what said the manufacturer Of

Slaughter at Battle
of Liaoyang

a copy Of the N1agodo Magazine,

Haute, Ind. from Tokyo by friends Of
man in the American navy. Among
the articles Is the story Of ''The Naked
Hero" who has received the special
attention Of the emperor and is talked
about In oil Japan. The article says
that Lance Corporal Ohashi gained
the sobriquet by which he is known
throughout the army, 1.-THE Naked He
70, In the battle Of Chiutencheng on
May /. The story Is told as follows,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer:
Our readers viii remember that in
this battle our troops had to cross sew
eral streams In order to reach the en-
emy's position on the other side Of the
Yalu During the engagement the main
body Of the Imperial guards arrived
on the left bank Of the Aiho and found
that they must cross the stream to at
tack the enemy, who were strongly
posted on the right bank There was
no bridge, and Lance Corporal Ohashi,

the river to test its depth Dlvesting
himself Of his uniform ana taking with
him only short sword, he jumped into
the river. which he succeeded IN cross

showered upon him.
aWhen he had thus demonstrated the
Portability Of the stream be was fol
lowed by the whole regiment, and the
enthusiasm was so great that Ohashi
never paused to resume his uniform.
which his comrades brought, but naked
as he was, headed the charging col
umns. The sight of the naked warrior
was enough TO strike fear to the hearts
Of the Russians, who fed before him.
One man concealed himself behind a
bush and took deliberate aim at him
with musket But our hero saw the
musket and quick as thought. selling
the weapon, killed its owner with one
blow from the stock. The enemy's out
posts having been carried. the column
advanced some 1000 meters to where
the enemy's artillery was posted at the
top Of a steep hill Ohashi, still too
busy to resume his garments, was
again in the forefront Of the charge,
personally killing two men and max
ing one prisoner. and It was remarked
with wonder that, although he had
been a target and in the thlckest Of the
fight. he did not receive a scratch. The
emperor was much delighted when he
heard OF the exploits Of Ohashi and
examined with much interest the mus
ket with which Ohashi killed his enc
