Some people long for le IIls,Ils.

To buttermilk; It's then 1 sign
For nectar from the churn.
Somewhere on earth there still must be
A "spring house." deep and low,
Half hid beneath a willow tree.
Whose boughs sweep to and ITO
And whisper to the rilis that gush
Between the roots, ard turn
To loiter in the Swallowed hush
Where stands the sweating churn.

To rob that soothing hoard
But better, better yet than all,

No votary has ever poured
Libations from an urn
Like buttermilk held in a gourd,
Raised from the roony churn!
All, can there be a finer thingi
It's sweet as honey dew
The water ripping from the spring
Is laughing back at you
While merrfly it drips and drips,
Through the watercress and fern
You taste the tang upon your lips
OF nectar from the churn-
Forgotten then are drafts of wine

And you your happy soul resign
To deep drawn breaths of joy.

Has one glad truth to learn:

ADMIT SITUATION CRITICAL
RUSSIANS SEE LITTLE HOPE OF
VICTORY IN PRESENT TER
RIFiC STRUGGLE.

St. Petersburg. March THE result
of the greatest battle of modern times
is expected to be determined within
twenty-four hours. Two of the larg-
est armies of modern times, both in
men and guns, are now locked In
death struggle and although General
Kuropatkin has evidently made every
preparation to cover his retreat by
moving his accumulated stores and
munitions northward it Is the opinion
of military men here that one side or
the other cannot escape an overWnelm-
ing disaster. With both wings bent
backward Kuropatkin's position ap-
pears to be desperate, but the issue is
still in the balance. News OF victory
for him is only regarded as possible by
his breaking through the enveloping
lines and news of concentrated Of
fensive is hourly awaited. Unless Ku-
ropatkin can strike and strike hard
it is realized that he must lose.
Field Marshal Oyama's strategy in
this battle is now clear. He startled
and amazed the war Office by the mar
velous daring of General Kuroki's ad-
vance against the extreme Russian
left and the series of blows delivered
at the center, where no less than thir-
teen separate attacks have been
launched by the imperial guards ten
miles east OF Poutiloff hill. But it is
now realized that the heavy blows at
the left were intended to mask the
real turning movement, which came
Like a Bolt From Clear Sky
out of the west. Kuropatkin fell into
the trap The situation seemed an
exact duplicate of that at Liaoyang
and the Russian commander-in-chief
hastened to mass forces to meet ku-
roki. Friday the whole situation was
suddenly reversed when, with light
ming rapidity, the Japanese turning
operation began on the plain between
the Hun and Lao rivers. In order~to
succeed Oyama threw the neutrality
of China to the winds. General Nogi
with his Port Arthur veterans moved
up the right bank of the Hun and fell
like an avalanche upon the weakened
Russian right, doubling it back In con-
fusion, the Japanese advance being Co
ordinated with the advance straight

FEDERAL SUPREME COURT DE-
CiDES FIGHT FOR CONTROL
OF NORTHERN PACIFIC.
COURT OF APPEALS is AFFIRMED
SECURITIES COMPANY ABSOLUTE
OWNERS OF STOCK TURNED
IN BY HARTMAN.

Washington, March 7.-Thc supreme
court of the United States has affirmed
the decision of the circuit court of aD-
peals for the Third circuit in the
case of Hartman VS.. the Northern
Securities company, involving the dis
tribution of the shares in the North
ern Securities company. The decision
is favorable to the Hill interests.
The decision of the court was an
nounced by Chief Justice Fuller. He
delivered no written opinion, but said
that one would be filed later. There
was no dissenting opinion.
The decree of the circuit court OF
appeals, which was affirmed, merely
reversed the decree Of the circuit court
for the district of New Jersey The
latter court issued an injunction re-
straining the Securities company from
transferring or distributing 717,300
shares OF the common stock of the
| Northern Pacific Railroad company
acquired by the Securities company
| in the merger of the Northern Pacific
and the Great Northern roads. This
decree was oyerruled by the circuit
court of appeals sitting In Philadel-
phia and the days verdict sustains
the reversing decision. The court of
appeals held in effect that the Securi-
ties company had become the absolute
legal and equitable owner of the stock
of the railroad company and that the
question of ownership had not been
involved or even incidentally passed
upon by the supreme court of the
United States in the government case
for the dissolution of the merger. The
suit was brought by K. III. Hartman,
Winslow S. Pierce and other owners
of the Northern Pacific stock held by
the Securities company to obtain pos
session of the shares of stock orig
inally deposited by them and TO re-
strain the company from pursuing its
plan of distribution, which was to give
| to each stockholder a proportionate
amount of the stock of the two railroad
companies.
The par value of the stock involved
is $82,391, ,871. The case was argued
| only week ago and the decision came
with a promptness that was quite un-
expected.

though rumors of the presence OF the
latter column westward of Mukden
were circulated as long ago as Tues
day Kuropatkin evidently was taken
by surprise, possibly refusing to be-
lieve that the Japanese would thus
openly fling Chinese neutrality to the
winds. at any rate ii was not until
Saturday night that he was able to
shift sufficient reinforcements west to
stem the tide when the Japanese were
within sight of Mukden. But the lat

Japanese, exhausted by their tremen-

and now, il ever, Kuropatltin's hour
has come. The Japanese lines are ex-

RUSSIANS ON THE OFFENSIVE
kUROPATkIN LAUNCHES A BLOW
AT MARSHAL OYAMA'S
LEFT CENTER.

st. Petersburg, March THE Asso-
ciated Press has just learned that
General Kuropatkin has launched a
blow at Field Marshal Oyama's left
center just west of the railroad. The
fighting is desperate along almost the
entire line.
Kuropatkin's losses in killed and
wounded up to Sunday night are
placed at 23,500. Oyama is believed
to have already lost fully 10000 men.
The Japanese army, according to the
prisoners, is greatly exhausted. They
repeated the statement that some of
General Nogi's men have not had any
food for two days.

OVER AN EXTENDED AREA
BATTLE AROUND MUkDEN RACED
CEASELESSLY ALL DAY
SUNDAY.


Mukden, Sunday, March 5.-All day
long the battle ragged ceaselessly. The
Japanese have been concentrating
their energies on Machiapu, for the
possession of which they have been
struggling for two days, but with all
their gallantry they were unable to
dislodge the Russians, who are cling
ing to their works with bulldog tenac-
ity. Japanese shrapnel has been
bursting within mile and half OF
the Hun railway bridge, which evi-
IDENTIFY is the Japanese objective. The
capture of that position would render
the occupation of the Hun river posi-
uon south of Mukden untenable.
A fierce and continuous artillery en-,
gagement is taking place about four
miles north of Machiapu,
From the Hun bridge long line OF
battle stretches in both directions SC
far as the eye can see. Northwest to-
ward Tatchekiao and eastward along
the Shakhe river it is marked by a
line OF bursting shells.
The Russian losses are not exces'
sive. considering the severity of the
five days fighting. The Japanese. as
the attackers, have suffered heavier
than the Russians.
At 4:30 this afternoon guns began
to roar west and northwest of Muk
den railroad station, where General
Kuropatllin is launching an attack
against the Japanese extreme left.
During last night the Japanese re
peatedly assaulted Pienchiapudgu
Kaotou pass and Kaniayen, farther
east, but all their efforts were un
availing.
The bombardment of Erdagou, Nov
gorod. and Poutiloff hills continues un
successfully.

PURE-BRED STATIONS.
They Alone Should Be Patronized in
Mating the Brood
Mare,

Each owner of a brood mare should in
sist that the stallion with which she is
mated shall be pure-bred and duly re-
corded. 1t is ruinous policy to continue
breeding to scrub, grade and cross-bred
sires. Such horses may appear excel
lent individuals, but they lack fixed
breed power to transmit their character
istics. Pure blood means hereditary
power to reproduce breed type and in
dividual excellence, and is necessary in
the stallion to overcome the breed power
of his less excellent mates. Unrecorded
sires standing at cheap fees prove an ex-
pensive proposition at the selling time
of their colts. Good feeding can never
Offset faults derived from a poor sire,
but will perfectly bring out the good
qualities born in colts from an in6ividu-
ally excellent, sound pure-bred, record
ed stallion. Demand that every stallioner
shall show the pedigree certificate for
his horse, and learn to judge correctly
of the merits Of such papers. Each stall
lion should have a certificate of registry
in the stud book of the breed to which he
belongs-Dr. A. 8. Alexander.
