DESPERATE
sThe Men Threw Themselves ON the
DayonetS of the Enemy"

1t is Il phrase merely to those Of us
who do not know var ut first hand,
'"Then the men threw themselves on
the bayonets Of the enemy" 1t sounds
desperate and dramatic, but this ac-
count in B!ackwood's Magazine by a
naval sublieutenant at Port Arthur
shows what 1t really means:
For thirty long minutes a hand to
hand struggle had continued. Men
threw grenades in each others faces.
Half demented samurai flung them
selves upon the bayonets Of the dozen
Muscovites that held the traverse in
the trench. Who shall say that the day
of the bayonet is past? Although there
was not a breech that had not its ar
to the limit Of their animal fury over
look the mechanical appliances that
make war easy. They tlIirsted to come
to grips, and to grips they came.
But it had to end. The old colonel
had fought his way through his W
men to the very point Of the struggle.
lie stood OIL the parapet, and his rich
voice for a second curbed the fury Of
the wild creatures struggling beside
him.
Throw yourselves On their bayonets,
honorable comrades!" he shouted.
"Tlose who come behind will do the
rest"
His men heard him; his officers heard
him. Eight stalwarts dropped their
rifles, held their hands above their
heads and flung themselves against the
traverse. Before the Russian defend
ers could eXtricate the bayonets from
their bodies the whole pack OF the war
dogs had surged over them. The trench
was won,

AIDING II MEMORY.

MnemOnic Systems Have Been In Use
From Time Immemorfal.
The art Of rendering artificial aid to
the memory by associating in the mind
things difficult to remember with those
which are easy Of recollection is said to
have originated with the Egyptians.
The first person to reduce it to a system
was, according to Cicero, the poet 81
mOnides, who lived 500 B.. G. His plan
is known as the topical or locality
plan and was in substance as follows:
Choose a large house with a number of
differently furnished apartments in 1T.
Impress upon the mind carefully all
that Is noticeable in the house SO that
the mind can readily 60 over the parts.
Then place a series Of ideas In the
house-the first in the hall, the next in
the sitting room, and SO on with the
rest. Now, when Il wishes to recall
these ideas in their proper succession,
commence going through the house, and
the idea placed in each department will
in connection with it.
1t is related that this mnemonic plan
was first suggested to the poet by a
tragic occurrence. Having been called
from a banquet just before the roof Of
the house fell and crushed all the rest
of the company, be found on returning
that the bodies were SO mutilated that
no individual could be recognized, but
by remembering the places which they
had severally occupied at the table he
was able to identify them. He was
thus led to notice. that the order of
places may by association suggest the
order Of things.

Iowa College Base Ball Situation Is
Declared to Be Clear.

Iowa City, April 21.-The refusal OF
Cornell college to meet Ames base ball
team with the professional Brown in
the box has definitely settled the fu-
ture of the Iowa State College Base
Ball League. Much credit Is given
here to Coach Chalmers and Manager
Walker for the stand they have taken
for pure athletics in the state coll
leges ami considerable satisfaction ov-
er the outcome of the controversy is
expressed.
There is little doubt that Ames will
be willing to come under the western
conference rules next season after see
ing what an uncomfortable position
the playing of professional base ball
team has placed her. The agricultural
college has already expressed a will
ingness TO play an amateur team as
soon as the professionals now in col;
lege have played their four years, since
it is understood that the agricultural
authorities believe that they are in a
measure responsible for making sew
eral of their men professional.
The discussion, which has resulted
in the complete vindication Of the pol
icy of clean sport for Iowa colleges,
has been of particular value in giving
the state thorough understanding of
the principles involved. Another year
will undoubtedly see every state col

Special to Times Republican,
Clarksville, April 21.-Ethel. the s.
year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. u.
Goodnow, who are residents of Dayton
township, received burns on Monday
which caused her death Wednesday.
Ethel was attending school at district
No. s, that township, and was with other
children when fire was started in the
school yard for the purpose of burning
rubbish Getting too close to the
flames her skirts caught fire, and she
ran about, a pyramid of flames. Her
acquaintance rushed to her assistance
as quickly as they could and did ev-
erything to eXtinguish the flames, but
not until the girl had been frightfully
burned from the knees to the hips and
along the back. Only the presence of
mind of one Of the boys in throwing
his coat about her and smothering the
flames prevented more serious injur-
les.
Ethel was a winsome girl and very
popular with her companions. Her ter
rible death is greatly regretted and
deeply mourned by all.
