URGED RUSSIANS TO YIELD.
Japanese Fired Letters as Well as
Shells Into Forts at Port
Arthur,

That the Japanese soldiers besieg-
ing Port Arthur sought from time to
time to induce the Russians to sur
render, in order to prevent as much as
possible unnecessary sacrifice of life
and to save the Russians from unnec-
essary privations, is made plain by the
following story told by correspond
ent of the Osaka Aashi:
In the early part of October last tho
Japanese occupied an outpost of a
Russian fort on the northern slope of
the East Kikwan mountain. Now that
the opposing forces were brought very
near to each other, the Japanese gen.
erals in charge thought of a hundred
and one plans to induce the individual
Russian soldiers to surrender Finally
they arrived at an ingenious device.
Miyagoshi Jusaku was Russian
Japanese interpreter in the service of
the Japanese army. He could write
in Russian very nicely. So he wrote
the following letter, which was fas-
tened to an arrow and was sent with
the latter by skilful archer, who ex-
erted all the strength of his arms in
bending the bow.
1.-THE Russian Soldiers.-Gentlemen |:
Isn't it very cold? We are now weary and
bored every day. We believe it is the same
with you. You must be tired of this long
war. Your wives and children, we pre-
sumo, are worrying about you. We SYM
pathize with you.
"You must be wanting food. Why
xuou1dn,t VOL, IF do xxIo will
give you warm food We will do you no
harm, but offer you all the comforts to your
satisfaction.
eff you wish to communicate with your
home, fasten your letters to stones and
throw them to us. We will forward them
for you.
'At Mukden, Kuropatkin has been de-
feated again. There is no certainty in ref
erence to the. coming of the Baltic fleet.
Port Arthur is doomed to fall.
''Those of you who surrender soon will be
happy, but those who hesitate will meet a
horrible fate. We request Of you to take
our words as from your God who protests
your wives and children.
eff you are willing to accept our offer, we
will make all the necessary arrangements
for your surrender. Steal the eye Of your
superior officers, abandon your weapons
and come. During the daytime, come wav-
ing your handkerchiefs. At nights come
saying aloud 'Anata (Sir).
1--WE pray for your health. Good-by."
The effect of the missive was soon
seen. Three Russian fugitives came
in front of the East Kikwan mountain.
While two of them were unfortunately
shot before their actions indicated
their pacific intention, the third sue
ceeded in his attempt.
He was a sergeant of artillery st the
fort. Upon investigation, it was found
that he had made up his mind to sur
render after he read the arrow mis-
sive.
This method was repeated often,
with various success.

stones down in the lava, and sailing
chips down the streams of hot stuff,
just as I sailed chips on ice water at
home when the streets were flooded
by spring rains. Say, there is no more
danger on Vesuvius than there is in a
toboggan slide, or shooting the chutes
at home. l thought we would have to
hire dagoes to carry us up to the top,
and be robbed and held up, and may
be murdered, but it is just as easy as
going up in the elevator of a sky
scraper, and no more terrifying than
sitting on a 50-cent seat in a baseball
park at home and witnessing the de-
struction of Pompeii' by a fireworks
display.
The crater looks sort of creepy, like
big cauldron kettle boiling soap on
farm, only it is bigger, and down in
the earth's bowels you can well believe
there is trouble, and if you believe in
hell, you can get it, illustrated
proper, but the rivulets of lava that
flow out of the wrinkles around the
mouth of the crater are no more ap-
palling than making Judges over gas
stove. When the lava cools you would
swear it was Judges, only you can't
eat the lava and get indigestion as you
can eating Judges.
1t was hard work to get dad to go
up on the volcano, because he said he
knew he would fall into it, and get
his clathes burned, and he said he
couldn'. climb clear to the top, on &C
count of his breath being short, but
when I told him he could ride up on
trolley car, and have the volcano
brought right to him, he weakened, and
one morning we left Naples early and
before two hours had passed we were
on little cogwheel railroad going up.
ane dad was looking down on the
scenery, expecting every minute the
cogs would slip and we would cut loose
and go down all in heap and be plas-
tered all over the vineyards and big
trees and be killed.
don't know what makes dad so
nervous, but he wanted woman from
Chicago, who was on the car with us.
to hold his hand all the way up, but
she said she was no nurse in home
for the aged, and she said she would
cuff dad if he didn't let go of her. /
told her she better not get dad mad If
she knew what was good for her, for he
was regular Bluebeard, and wouldn't
take no slack from no Chicago female,
cause he had buried nine wives al
ready. So she held his hand, and l
guess she thinks she will be my STEP
mother, but l bet she don't.
Well, after we got almost to the top
the car stopped, and we had to walk
the rest of the way, several hundred

pened to your" said I, as | rushed up
to him.
"That woman has happened to me,
that is ALL" said dad, as he took a
swallow of water out of canteen one
of the dagoes had.
"Tell me about it, dad" said l, try
ing to keep from laughing, when saw
that he was not hurt.
"Say, let this be a lesson to you,"
said dad, land don't you steer another
woman to me on this trip. Do you
know you hadn't more than got around
that big rock when she said she was
tired and was going to faint, for the
altitude was too high for her, and
tried to soothe her, and she did look
pale, and, by gosh, l thought she was go
ing to die on my hands, and would have
to carry her corpse down the mountain.
l heard scuf1ing on the rocks, and
she looked up and saw man not ten
feet away, and she said: Me hus-
band!' and then she tainted and
grabbed me around the neck, and I
couldn't get her loose. She just froze
to me like person drowning and that
husband of hers, who had come up on
the last car, hunting for his wife, who
had eloped, pulled long blue gun and
told me he would give me five min
utes to pray, and then he would kill
me and throw my body down in the
crater, to sizzle.
81 told him I could-pay up enough
ahead in three minutes, and he could
take all l had if he would loosen up
his wife, and bring her to, and take
her away, and let me die all alone, and
let the buzzards eat me, uncooked. He
took the bet, pulled her arms away
from my throat, took my money and
coat, brought her to, and said he was
going to throw her into the crater, but
l told him she had certainly been good
to me, and if he would spare her life.
and take her away in the cars, he
could have my watch and scarfpin, and
he took them, and they went to the
cars.
"She looked back at me with the sad
uCoI Lace ever saw, duu SdlQ. ~,
sir, it is all terrible dream, and I
will see you in Naples, and explain
ALL and now, by Christmas, want to
go back to town and find her, and res
cue her from that jealous husband"
and dad got up and we started for the

people expected every time they went
up to the top that it would be their
last trip, as they knew that some day
the volcano would open in new place
and swallow them whole, with all the
tourists. Then he gave them dollar
apiece to pray for him, and wanted to
go back down the mountain and let
Vesuvius run its own fireworks, but the
Chicago lady told dad to brace up and
she would protect him, and so the
guides gave few more pushes, and we
were on top of the volcano, and dad
collapsed and had to be brought to
with smelling salts and whisky that
the woman carried in her pistol pocket.
Gee, but it was worth all the trou-
BILE to get up the mountain, to see the
sight that opened up. The hole in the
mountain filled with boiling stuff was
worth the price of admission, and the
roaring of the boiling stuff, and the
explosions way down cellar, and the
flying stones, the smoke going into the
air for a mile, like the burning of an
oil well, the red-hot lava finding crew
ices to leak through, and flowing down
the side of the mountain in streams
like hot maple strip, made a scene
that caused us to take off our hats and
thank the good Lord that the thing
hadn't overlooked enough to hurt us.
But I could see dad was scared, cause
when 1 wanted him to go around the
edge of the crater with me, and see
the hell-roaring free show from other
points of view, and see where the hot
ashes years ago rolled down and COW
cred Pompeii and Herculaneum, he
baked and said he had seen all he
wanted to, and if he could stay alive
until the next car went down the noun
tain, they could all have his interest
in Vesuvius, and be darned to them,
but he said if l wanted to go around
looking for trouble, he would stay
there under a big rock, with the Chi
cago lady, and wait for me to come
back. She said she knew dad was all
tired out. and needed rest, and she
would stay with him, and keep him
cheered up; so left them and went off
with one of the dagoes, to slide down
hill on some flowing lava, and pick up
specimens.
Well, sir, wish I could get along
some way without telling the rest of
this sad story, but if l am going to
be historian have got to tell the
whole blame thing.
When I left dad and the Chicago
woman she had produced lunch from
somewhere about her person, and
small bottle, and they were eating and
drinking, and dad was laughing more
natural than l had seen him laugh
since we run over the old woman with
the automobile at Nice, and she was
smiling on dad just as though she was
his sweetheart. CAS- went around the
crater, couple Of blocks away, I

Naples, Italy.-Seignor re Grocerino:
| guess that will make you stand with
out hitching for little while. Say,
l am getting so full of dead languages,
and foreign palaver, that l shall have
to have an operation on my tongue
when l get home before can speel the
United States language again so you
can make head or tail of it. You see,
don't stay long enough in country
to acquire its language, but get few
words into my system, so now my
English is so mixed with French
words, Italian garlic and German
throat trouble that cannot under
stand myself unless l look in glass
and watch the motions of my lips.
Dad has not picked up word OF any
foreign language, and says he should
consider himself traitor to his coun-
try if he tried to talk anything but
English. He did get so he could order
a glass of beer by holding up his fin
ger and saying "ein," but he found
later that just holding up his finger
without saying "eln" would Drlng the
beer all the same so he cut out the
language entirely and works his finger
until 1t needs rest.
When l used to study my geography
at the little red SCHOOL, ouse, and look
at the picture of the volcano Vesuvius,
and read about how Il would throw
up red-hot lava, and ashes, and rocks
as big as house, and wipe out cities,
it looked so terrible to me that was
glad when we got through with the
volcano lesson, and got to Greenland's
icy mountains, where there was no
danger except being frozen to death,
or made sick by eating blubber sliced
off of whales.
Then I never expected to be right on
the very top of that volcano, throwing

a putter for dad, dago to go ahead
and pull him up, and another to put
his shoulder against dads pants and
shove. Gee, but it was q picture to
see dad Ego up old baldhead,' with
the dagoes perspiring and swearing al
dad for being so heavy, and the Chi
eago woman laughing, and me pushing
her up.
One thing that scared dad was that
every little way there was a shrine
where the guides left dad lying on the
ground, blocked with piece OF colo
lava, so he wouldn't roll down, like you
would block wagon wheel, and they
would go to the shrine and kneel ano
say some prayers.
Dad was afraid they were going t.

Isn't This Absolutely Truep

Nothing ever became popular-here or
in any other country-without reason.
Popular men have merit of some kind,
must have, or they would not be popular.
They must have exceptional merit and
wonderful character if their popularity in
creases with time.
As with men, so with goods. So with
any article that is on the market. 1t can
not increase its sales, it cannot be adopt
ed as a standard article, it cannot sur
vive generations unless it have real, inner
emit merit.
Millions of dollars spent in advertising
any article without merit, are just wasted,
so far as continued sales are concerned.
Intelligent housekeepers cannot be COM
PEELED to buy what they do not approve of.
That much is a self-evident fact. It
cannot be gainsaid. But it tells its own
story of Lion Coffee and its quality
coffee that has been the leader of all
package coffees for more than a quarter
of century, that has steadily grown in
the affections of millions of American
homes since the first introduction, long,
long ago.
It's unexcelled flavor, perfect purity. and
uniform quality; it's absolute, cleanliness
and neat appearance, have endeared it to
the hearts of the people.
Good grockrs will tell you this, but those
who drink coffee ought to know much
more about quality than they who simply
sell it.
Insist on Lion Coffee, buy no loose cof-
fee Tin bulkl-you don't know what you
get. How can your grocer?

WHY THEY ARE HAPPY
TWO NOTABLE RECOVERIEs FROM
EXTREME DEBILITY.
Husbands Strength Had Been Waning for
Three Years, Wife Sufferer from
Female Weakness.

Female Weakness.
"My strength had dwindled so that I
couldn't apply myself to my business
with any snap but was tired and Gstless
all the time" said Mr.. Goldstein.
I" went to bed completely used up by
my days work, and when I got up in
the morning didn' feel rested bit. I
had awful headaches too, and my kid
neys got out of order and caused me to
have severe pains i'll the back. At one
time became so feeble that I could not
stir from bed for three weeks"
Mr.. Goldstein is young man and had
then but recently established home of
his own. His anxieties were increased
by the fact that his wife was far from
being robust. Mrs. Goldstein says:
For two years I had been i'll most of
the time. Sometimes was confined to
bed for weeks in succession under ply
sician's care. had headaches, kidney
trouble, pain about the heart and many
more uncomfortable symptoms con-
nected with that weakness to which my
sex is peculiarly subject"
Trouble had invaded this household
and settled in it in just the years that
ought to be the very happiest. Physicians
could not tell them how to get rid of it..
ST was utterly discouraged, said Mr..
Goldstein. "Then the urgency of some
friends led me to try blood and nerve
remedy which was said to be wonder
fully successful. Within a month there
were unmistakable signs Of improvement
in my condition, and within a year I
was completely well. Through the use
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills I have now
as good health as lever had in my life. I"
Mrs. Goldstein adds: "The wonderful
effect that DR.. Williams Pink Pills had
in the case of my husband led me to try
them and they helped me even more
quickly than they did him. One box
made me decidedly better and few
months treatment cured me-"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are the best
tonic and regulator, they make pure,
rich blood and when there is general
weakness and disorder that is what the
system needs. Mr.. and Mrs. Fl. Goldstein
live at 36 Cove street, East Boston, Mass.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
druggists everywhere.
