just arrived from Russia. Altogether
I had 62 battalions. The enemy had
twice as many.
"The battle of the next day was con-
tinued until the evening. We did not
surrender an inch of ground. My
left flank, which was clearing the road
to Sandepas, being weak, asked the
commander-in-chief, who had 60 bat
talions available, for reenforcements.
He declined to send any. Early the
following day, the fiercest fighting oc-
Cured. We again held our own.
The road to Sandepas, the Japanese
point of concentration, was quite clear
of the enemy. I therefore again ap-
pealed to the commander-in-chief for
reenforcements. If he had listened to
my entreaties we would have riven
the iron ring of 100000 of the enemy
In desperation they four times as
saulted our outer positions and were

remember the galiantry Of my brave
comrades.
Il might easily have followed up
these repulses by headlong often

by the commandsr-in-chief's restric-
lions and his refusal to send us reen-
forcements.
"The reply Of Gen. KuropatlSin ar
rived at five in the evening in the
shape of an order to leave small
force in our positions and move up
the army to his support in view of the
expected Japanese advance on the
center. How was it possible for the
Japnese to attack the center when all
their available forces were diverted
west?

THE TRICKS
Coffee Plays on Soma

1t hardly pays to laugh before you
are certain of facts. for 1t is sometimes
humiliating to think of afterwards.
when l was young girl / was
lover Of coffee but was sick so much
the doctor told me to quit and did,
but after my marriage my husband
begged me to drink it again as he did
not think it was the coffee caused the
troubles.
$50 commenced it again and con-
tinued about months until my
stomach commenced acting bad and
choking as If l had swallowed some
thing the size Of an egg. One doctor
said it was neuralgia and indigestion.
"One day I took drive with my
husband three miles in the country
and I drank q cup Of coffee for dinner.
I thought sure l would die before
got back to town to doctor. l was
drawn double in the buggy and when
my husband hitched the horse to get
me out into the Doctors Office. misery
came up In my throat and seemed to
shut my breath OF entirely, then lett
all in q flash and went to my heart.
The doctor pronounced it nervous
heart trouble and when l got home I
was so weak could not sit up.
my husband brought my supper to
my bedside with nice cup of hot COZ
fee, but said: Take that back, dear,
I will never drink another cup Of COT
fee if you gave me everything you are
worth, for it Is just killing me- He
and the others laughed at me and
said:
"'The idea OF coffee killing any,
body
"Wel1,' said, 1t is nothing else
but coffee that Is doing IT,
"In the grocery one day my husband
was persuaded to buy box Of Postum
which he brought home and made it
for dinner and we both thought how
good it was but said nothing to the
hired men and they thought they had
drank coffee until we laughed and told
them. Well we kept on with Postum
and it was not long before the color
came back to my cheeks and got
stout and felt as good as I ever did In
my life. I have no more stomach
trouble and l know I owe It all to
Postum In place of coffee.

Waiting Mice.

Waiting mice are curious and inter-
esting little animals. They are not
quite so long as the common gray
mouse, and much more slender. They
are spotted black and white at each
end of their bodies, and are clear white
in the middle. They whirl around
on their four feet as if on a pivot,
sometimes stopping and reversing the d.
rection. Frequently have seen two or
three of them going around together in
a large circle. Although they waltz
sometimes as long as five minutes
without rest, they appear never to
get dizzy.

against the powers that were before
ent high estate. More than one editor
of the radical school found the prison
cell his sole reward for championing
the cause of liberty during the period Of
reconstruction" But as in Scandinavia
legislative halls were compelled to open
to farmer, burgher and aristocrat on
equal terms censorial restriction became
a dead letter, until to-day the press of
no nation in the world is freer from per-
nicious Interference than that of Den
mark and Sweden-NOrway. AS pro-
moters of education among the masses,
the Scandinavian newspapers can teach
their European contemporaries more
than one lesson. That the Danes are
great readers, the publication of more
than 20 daily papers in Copenhagen
alone bears testimony. The monthly
magazines, the illustrated weeklies and.
the many technical journals are evil
dence that this reading is not confined to
the newspapers.
Foremost among the progressive
newspapers VI SOpcAu06cu, Which,
means, of course, Of Denmark, is the
Politiken (Politics). That it is the
organ of the liberals may be assumed
from it's aggressive title. Established
by the late Viggo Lauritz Hoerup, in his
day the most brilliant among a con-
spicuous group of journalists, the Politi-
ken was born, so to speak, during the
most strenuous political period the
country ever witnessed. 1t was Hoerup's
virile pen that fought relentlessly
against taa fogyism of the ultra-con-
servatives: and, instrumental in bring
ing about me great political reform of
1901, this champion of equal rights be-
came member of the Deuntzer cabinet.
The present editor of the Politiken is
Edward Brandes, a brother of the ia
nous critic, Ge0Tg Brandes, and him
self an author and dramatist of fame.
The managing editor is Henrik Cavling,
who has been frequent visitor to the
United States.

IN A NEW ROLE
ESSEX Is ELECTED TO LONDON
COMMON COUNCIL.
Lordship Abandons Reckless Eztrav-
agance in Order Thet He May Ac-
complish Something Really
Useful to People.

London.-If a United States senator
should seek election to board Of al
dermen in any American city it would
be thought that he had fallen low in
the political world. But such matters
are judged by a different standard
here. When a peer seeks election to
the London county council-the central
governing body of this huge metropolis
it js regarded as evidence of COM
mendable desire on his part TO play
useful role in public life. AS heredi-
tary Legislators the occupants of the
upper house are not held in high
esteem. The newspapers pay little at
tention to their speeches. Their chief
function is to keep the commons from
going ahead too fast.
No less an authority than Lord Rose
berry, who was chairman of the first
London county council, declared that
a member of that democratic BODY had
far greater opportunities of rendering
good service to the community than a
member of the house of lords. There
fore when Rt. Hon. George Dew
ereux de We're Capell, earl of Essex,
announced his intention of running
for the London county council, as a
representative of the borough of
Marylebone, it was regarded as proof
that his lordship's desire to accomplish
something that should be accounted
as good works in life which hereto
fore has been more conspicuous for
private extravaganza than for public
service. So his friends warmly con-
graduated him on his election.
There is no doubt that this salutary
change in Lord Essex has been brought
about by the influence of his wife, who
was formerly Miss Adela Grant, the
daughter of Beach Grant, Of New York.
1t is said that the title of countess of
Essex has been borne invariably by
beautiful women, a statement that is
abundantly substantiated by the an
cient family portraits that adorn the
halls of the family seat at Glastonbury,
in Hertfordshire. The American Lady
Essex will compare favorably with any
of her predecessors among the chate-
LANES of the noble house. At the cor

is hardly believed that he is subject of
the peninsular empire. He opens his
description by declaring the emperor to

the logical outcome where the people of

they should be given gladly, for that

more distinguished for "going the

fare nre essential to success in the
profession of arms. The lessons
learned in that costly school he has
not ceased paying for yet. Of late
years there have been many evidences
that his financial condition was fast
approaching hard pan," coupled with
rumors that the countess was sorely
grieved at his failure to put curb
