TURED PORT ARTHUR.
Example Of the Determination and
Courage OF the Mikado's Troops
Incident in the Capture Of the city's
Outer Defenses.

I'VE we're to perform a s-mous feat
in crawling on all fOurs for mar1
meters. Our ambition was ESt ex-
actIy to attract attention Of the hts
slams and receive their applause from
their quick-frers. All sorts Of fire
vOrks seemed to help the work OF
their searchlights- We made slow
progress, always on all fours. We
reached the second netting OF barbed
wire, and this we hacked away with
out very much trouble. In front Of
US was the final fence. we had q
happy run OF luck so Tar. We do not
wish to spoil 1t by a touch Of careless
ness or too much daring Cautiously,
therefore, we went on our stOmachs
to make the distance between the sec
ond and the first barbed-wire entangle-
ments- All this distance was a sur
prise to US; il was covered with many
things evincive OF the skill and
tEOughtfulness Of the Russian engi-
neers. II was about one hundred
meters in length. The ground was
slOping. 1t was filed with pitfalls and
mines innumerable. For a second
th~se mines made US forget the first
line Of wire fence toward which We
we're making our way. First OF all.
we had to dispose Of the mines. We
had reason to suspect that they were
electric mines, and, in fact, the Rus
sian engineers. with all their thought
fulness, did not always take the trou-
bic to bury the conductors. We dis
covered and cut as many as four con-
duCtOrs, which were Just about the
size Of my thumb. They were wrap
ped in rubber coating and within
the rubber coating we found over
twenty-fOur small wires carried no
scissors with me. These electric
wires we're a neat surprise to US. The
severe usage to which it had been
put had dulled the edge Of my axe
almost as blunt as the edge Of my
palm. 1t could not cut the rubber
wrapped wires on soft earth. Time
was pressing We were in danger Of
being discovered before we could get
&C the first line Of barbed-Wire fence,
which was the last goal Of our ef-
forts; moreover, we were somewhat
impatient So all OF US fell upon those
electric wires, and with our teeth We
bit them on. I fear we may have
been somewhat excited. We did some
damage to our teeth by this work.
When a man tells you that he did
not know when his teeth were being
broken, you would not believe him.
That man might be telling the truth.
under some circumstances, however"
He laughed a laugh innocent and
childlike, and in the laughter you
could see more than two broken teeth
is his mouth. Nothing else could
drive home the conviction quite so
powerfully as those broken teeth Of
his.-Adachi Kinnosuke in Success

TALE OF A BORROWER.

Attempt at Economy.

Trail Of Ills That Followed Unwiss
Attempt at Economy.
AS the story goes there was a man
who was too close listed to take a
paper. He always borrowed his neigh
bor's paper to read. So one day he
sent his boy over to borrow neighbOr
Browns paper. The boy thought he
would cut across lots to save time.
He ran into a beehive, the bees Gov
ering him from head to foot. His
cries reached his father, who started
and ran to the rescue. Going over
the fence, his clothes caught on the
fence, spelling a brand new pair Of
pants that cost him 81
The old COW, seeing the break in
the fence. jumped into the orchard
and choked TO death eating apples.
His wife, hearing the outcry, started
out to see what the trouble was about,
tipped over a churn full Of cream into
a basket Of little kittens, drowning
the whole lots While she was gone
the baby took to crawling and crawl
ed through the cream into the parlOT,
spelling a new tapestry carpet
The dog ran through the henhouse,
breaking up three setting hens. The
calves got out of the barn and chewed
the sleeves of from four shirts. And
the maid took advantage of the situa-
ton and eloped with the hired man.

these were coon kittens, worth from

Eat Meatless Meals.

A prosperous physician was lunch

adjoining that at which sat one OF his

remarked as he attacked it, that he
would not eat it except at a noon
meal. when he knew he would get no
bad results from its richness. The
lady thought it a good time TO secure

The case Of Mr.. MarstOn shows that

lowing account: ssI was attacked by a
numbness or dull feeling Just back Of my

stiffness that would wear away IN a

SEEDING IN PROGRESS IN WEST.

The splendid yields OF wheat, oats

Of Western Canada and the excellent

made upon them for carrying passen-

to a nest prosperous year There is
room for hundreds OF thousands ad-
ditiCnal settlers, much new land hav-
ing been opened up for settlement
this year.
