That the value Of d mans or Wonlan's
purse cannot be estimated by its size
vas ably illustrated by an incident that
occurred in a Seventh Street car q day
Or SO ago.
1t was one Of those days when a large
downtown department store WAS having
a bargain sale and the cars were crowd
ed with bargain hunters.
Along in the afternoon when the first
rush was over a man and q woman
boarded the ear in question with arms
full of bundles. After getting settled
Gown under a pile of merchandise the
woman opened one of those handbag
pocketbooks with the capacity of a full
grown dress-suit case, and began to
count UP her finances.
First she pulled out a pattern for a
waist, n sample of the goods for the
same, several buttons. q few due bills
from the butcher and baker. a stick of
chewing gum. shoe string, several
newspaper clippings, 4 few recipes, sew

In niekles, dimes. and pennies.
The man. who had been watching the
proceedings intently. commented on the
miscellaneous collection, saying that it

But not "A word had he to saw
Although he paid her fare.
He calmly read the daily sheet
In which he had invested.
While she gaZed out upon the street
With eyes uninterested
She turned her face away from him
With cold and naughty air.
And when he trod upon her frock
She gave him such stare.
And when she dropped her pocketbook

LOSSES WERE APPALLING.
YaIor of Besicgers and BesieEed mt
Port Arthur Has Provoked Admit
ration Of the World.

London, Jan. 3.-The siege and the
defense of Russia's stronghold In the
far east have been marked by bravery,
gallantry and desperation unequalled
in modern warfare and hardly excelled
in military history. The story of the
operations around Port Arthur is one
of repeated fighting, both by land and
sea, of the most desperate and thrill
ing character. Isolated instances OF
heroism that would have set the world
ringing under less overwhelming cir
cumstances have been dwarfed by the
general magnificent conduct Of both
forces. BY sea there have been topedo
boat dashes of superb recllessness and
big ships have plowed through mine
fields with heroic disregard to give
battle or in wild efforts to escape.
BY land the Japanese have hurled
themselves against positions declared
to be impregnable. They have faced
and scaled rock heights crowned with
batteries and crowded with defenders,
suffering losses that military experts
say would have appalled, any European
army.
In the doomed fortress its people
have lived under a devastating rain OF
shell and shrapnel. On scanty rations,
besieged on every side, knowing that
hope of succor or escape was vain, the
garrison has fought with stubborn
ness that has evoked the admiration OF
the world They met the untiring as
saults of the japanese with grim
valor that won even the praise of their
foe. Over corpse-filled trenches men
have fought hand-to-hand with cold
steel and dubbed guns. and at short
range have hurled at each other hand
grenades filled with high explosives.
The whole story is one of undaunted
courage and sublime bravery. What
Port Arthur has cost in human life
and money. no estimate Of even APP
proXimate correctness can be made.
The losses have been appalling. II
has been reported that in some en-.
gagements leading up to the recent
capture of 203-Meter hill. the attack
ing force lost as high as 40 per cent.
Of the force engaged. while the garri-
sons losses. of which no word has
come, must have been frightful.
