Heroisnn in Animals.

Animals are capable Of what we
should call heroism in man. In one
field was donkey in another horse.
Through the first went mastiff and
made for the ass, seized him by the
throat, pulled him down, and that so
suddenly that the donkey looked like
ly to be killed. The horse in the next
field leaped the hedge dividing the two
pastures, collared the dog with his
teeth, swung him on the fall-ball
teeth, swung him and like a baseball
player caught him on the fall-with
his heels. The mastiff was whisked
over the hedge which the horse had
just crossed, and the donkey was left
in peace to recover from his wounds.

Lawsuit Proves. Windfan.

Two orphans of Cairo have just come
into fortune of $4,000 in a singular
way. They are the two sons of a
Tunisian named Bousnach, whose faith
er brought an action against the late
Bey of Tunis, claiming heavy dam
ages for wrongs suffered by him. This
was forty years ago, when the Bey of
Tunis was an unmitigated Oriental
despot, and the suit failed, as it was
bound to do. The claimant died, and
his son emigrated to Egypt, where he
in turn died, leaving two sons. A
short time ago, under the more equita-
BILE regime of the French administra-
ton, the suit was revived and brought
to a successful issue, the Court of APP
peals at AK reversing the old decis-
ion and awarding the orphans the
$4,000 damages claimed by their
grandfather.

FIVE LEADING CAUSES OF
THE DISASTROUS WAR.

First-After the Boxer disturbances the
powers agreed to maintain the territorial
integrity of China. Russia reserved the
right to occupy ManchTia, agreeing to
eyacuate when peace was restored April.
1908 was the date fixed for this evacua-
ton. This was afterward extended to
Oct. s. Russia, despite the objections of
Japan, still continued in its occupancy
of Manchuria.
Second-The fear on the part of the Ian
anese that should Russia absorb Manchu-
ria it would inevitably follow that Russia
would absorb Korea.
Third-The Russian occupancy of Korea
would be a vital restriction of the com
merce and peaceful activities of Japan in
the most promising field for Japanese de-
velOpment in Asia.
Fourth-The action of Russian agents in
pursuing a course indicating design to
control important strategic points
Fifth-The warlke preparations of Russia
in Manchura and Japan throughout it's
territories, during the time when both
countries We're mutually engaged in diplo-
matte negotiations.

PORT ARTHUR TAKEN BY THE JAPS

Port Arthur has surrendered. Tx
hHGsted by months of almost constant
fighting, decimated by disease and
casualties and hOpelesSly scaled in its
rock fortress, the gallant garrison
yielded to its gallant besiegers and the
end is now written of the most dra-
matte war incident Of modern times.
Port Arthur surrendered at 9 O'Clock
Sunday night. The capitulation was
preceded by Il letter from General
Stoessel to General No2i, asking under
what terms he would be allowed to
turn over tie stronghold and his
troops. Nogis demands were agreed
to. -....
The fall of the fortress was preceded
by an attack on the main chain Of
forts, in which there was a terrific
explosion. followed by the upheaval OF
Il huge pillar of earth and stones. y
mine had been. successfully exploded
at the northeast corner of the main de-
Tense, which, in its collapse, buried
number of the devoted garrison. A
second explosion was heard directly
afterward from the interior Of the fort
and q Japanese stO"ming party, which
had been held in readiness, ut once
dashed into the breach. They threw
showers Of their deadly little hand
grenades over the wall, and amid the
smoke and confusion caused by them
the Japanese poured headlong into the
shattered works. The survivors Of the
garrison were quickly overp0Wered.
General Stoessel then offered to sur
render and at 9 o'clock Sunday night
all of the forts were occupied.
The news that the Russian forces at
Port Arthur have surrendered follows
upon month of reverses. The siege
began almost with the firing of the
first gun in the war, now nearly eleven
months ago. and when perhaps the
greatest stronghold in the world was
garrisoned by 10000 Russian soldiers,
supported by Il formidable squadron Of
modern battleShips, cruisers and tor

torpedo boats remain in the harbor.
The garrison had been reduced to
about $4,000 men.

of the most commanding positions in
the series of forts held by the Rus
slams, was captured by the Japanese

Certain Habits Unconscious1y Formed
and Hard to Break.
An ingenious philosopher estimates
that the amount Of will power neces-
sary to break lifelong habit would,
II it could be transformed, lift a
weight Of many tons.
1t sometimes requires a higher de-
gree of heroism to break the chains Of
pernicious habit than to lead a for
lorn hope in bloody battle. A lady
writes from an Indiana town:
From my earliest childhood was a
lover Of coffee. Before I was out
of my teens l was a miserable dys-
peptic, suffering terribly at times with
my stomach.
Il was convinced that it was coffee
that was causing the trouble and yet
| could not deny myself a cup for
breakfast. At the age of SO was in
very poor health, indeed. My sister
told me was in danger of becoming
coffee drunkard.
But l never could give up drink
ing coffee for breakfast although it
kept me constantly i'll, until 1 tried
Postum. learned to make it properly
according to directions, and now we
can hardly do without Postum for
breakfast, and care nothing at all for
coffee.

pepsia, do not have spells of suffering
with my stomach that used to trouble
me SO when drank coffee" Name
