JAPs REFUSED.
Russian Forces Are Victorious In
Recent Fighting in the
Far East.

Russian Headquarters, Huan Noun
tain, Manchuria, Jan. 2S.-After three
months of quictude the Japanese have
resumed activity, attempted to force
back the Russian right wing. A stub
born fight began Wednesday and con-
tinued Thursday, which may be cur
tain raiser for the spring campaign.
According to report, the Japanese at
tack was repulsed and a Russian coun-
ter attack was so energetically pressed
that a village within the former Japan
csc lines of some strategical importance
was taken. 1t is rumored that several
Japanese guns were taken. There was
no fighting at the center or on the left
flank. The Japanese advance is believed
to have been inspired in part by the news
OF the Russian internal troubles, intelli-
gence of which reached the Russian
army at dawn January Is.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 2S.-Gen. Kuro-
patkin reports that Russian troops, at
seven p. M, on January 26, after a
desperate fight, occupied the village Of
Sundepas, which had been strongly for

from replying to the Russians, except on
the left, where the fighting, which ceased
at dark Thursday, was renewed Friday
morning. The clouds and snow made it
impossible to see more than few hun
dred feet away. The Russian gunnery
fire was largely guesswork. Early in the
afternoon firing ceased.

A little red button worn by some 300
women, old and young, married and in
different, among the leading social
sets of the City of Mexico, marks a
new departure, or rather a new step,
in progress. This little. round. red
button signifies membership in what is
known as the Anti-Kissing league.
Members Of the league take solemn
pledge not to kiss each other, in pub
lie or private, but put it on the ground
that kissing is contagious, or rather
the means of conveying contagious
diseases from the lips of one person to
another.

One of the ways for identifying the
country in the Grand Duchy Of Baden
without any ultimate expense to tie

some places walnut trees. The trees

side Of the road, and when the fruit Ia
ready for market it is sold at public
auction on the trees, the purchaser be.
ing obliged to harvest 1t at his own
expense.

Yale college, like many other col
leges, has bureau of self.help, which
finds employment for students who
have to support themselves wholly or
in part. A Yale professor has applied
to the bureau for Yale "man" to be
nurse to his (the professor's) children,
boys and girls between two and eight
years old. This is a new field for
student genius. Undergraduates have
done about everything else.

The many disadvantages of the
glass milk bottle as now almost uni
versally employed are we'll known.
One of the most serious is the diff.
Guilty in securing proper cleansing be-
fore it is refilled, with the accompany.
ing possibility of spreading infection.
Efforts to secure improvement in this
detail of milk service have hereto
fore been unsuccessful, mainly be-
cause Of failure to obtain satisfac-
tory substitute. Recent Investigations
by DR.. A. H. Stewart indicate that an
acceptable container is found in a
single service paper milk bottle.

England has irrevocably lost Mexico
as a market for calicoes and print
goods of cheap and medium grade,
and Mexican-made products have en-
tirely displaced foreign importations.
Only in the fancy and high-priced line
of goods can the Manchester factories
compete with the Mexican factories,
and this is probably simply because
the Mexican factories as yet have
made but few attempts to secure this
sort of trade.

with whom Florence o. Groves agreed
to commit suicide at the Hotel Blatz,
and who disappeared after she had full
filled her agreement Monday morning,
was arrested at the residence Of Robert
Barlow, at Racine, by Chief of Police
Fred Pfister, of that city, Tuesday night.
His capture took place only after he had
attempted suicide, and had been pre-
vented by Chief Pfster.
After his arrest Milligen calmly de-
tailed the story of his life and the in
cidents of the woman's death. He said
that Florence Groves took carbolic acid
in his presence at the hotel after she
made three attempts to kill herself. MILL
gen was not married to Florence
Groves. The couple left the Groves resi-
dence at Chicago and eloped with the
intention of marrying, but lack of time
prevented the carrying out of their
plans.
Was Eager to Die.
Florence Groves knew what the end
would be when she decided to elope with
me, and she was eager to die with me, -
Milligen said. "She was engaged to a
school teacher, Clyde Brown, of Orland.
ILL.,, but she loved me better. I told her
that the day she married him would
kill myself, or else would take my life
on her birthday. January ~. Every day
that we were at the hotel we planned to
kill ourselves. Finally we set Monday
morning as the day. Sunday morning
she tried three times to kill herself with
poisons I had purchased. She drank
oxalic acid, iodine and wood alcohol in
turn. but they acted only as emetics.
She did not take the acid until Monday
morning, because she realized its horri-
BILE effects.
Wanted to Go First.
'She begged and implored me not to go
first, as she did not want to see me die.
She asked me to pour out the acid, and
/ filled wine glass with it. AS her last
request she asked me to hand it to her.
but l refused repeatedly. At last she
nerved herself, snatched the glass and
swallowed the dose at single effort,

She lay back gasping, as she did SO.
Don't leave me until I'm dead she
implored, in dull whisper.
His Nerve Failed.
Il seated myself by the bed and
watched her through what seemed to me
like hours. AS watched the terrible
commissions that racked her form, the
foam that specked her lips, the agonized
setting Of the eyes and the mortal pain
expressed in her every movement, my
nerve failed me. didn't have the cour-
age to follow her.
"F1orence's death had unnerved me to
great extent and Monday afternoon I
decided to go back to Brooklyn, where ]

monkeys in large cage when one Of them came
to the front and tried to reach nut which bad
been thrown and was Wing The gravel path. Put
ting his arms through the bars and stretching as
far as possible, it found the nut just beyond
It's reach. There was straw the floor of the cage,
and going to the back. where it evidently expected to
find the straw less damaged. it tested straw after
straw, discarding them one by one, moi thinking
them strong enough for the purpose. At last it
found a satisfactory one, returned with it to the
front of the cage and very quickly with this aid
hooked the nut close enough to be picked UP.

sings and makes all manner of racket wherever he
may be-in short, she thinks he is a splendid type
OF American boy. and she slightly suspects that he
has few freckles on his nose.
OF course Aunt Busy could not decide the prize
but She docs think that Thomas should have been
more careful about facts and particularly about
dates, but four clever. experienced newspaper men,
who are on the best western newspapers decided for

MY LITTLE BOY FOR SALE.

A mother was busy with her work one day,
When her dear little boy, with his toys
Ran in from his play, as bright May,
With all his traps and noise.
You make such din she said to him,
While he worked with his tools his lows:
III put you to bed, or I'll sell YOU she said
To the man who buys little boys
A little boy for sale;
A little boy for sale
A little boy for sale
Re makes so much noise with his hammer and tovs
My little boy for sale"
The dear little boy quiet day;
He had laid his tops aside:
The mother had ceased her work to pray;
20 Lord with abide!"
AS she sits by the bed of her curly head
A soft, sweet song she sings
When out OF the gloom of that quiet room
Comes the rustic of the angels wings
There's no little boy for sale;
There's no little boy for sale:
H. was bought by the love of the Father above
There's little boy for sale:
There's little boy for SALE
There's no little boy for sale
He was bought by the love of the Father above
