ranks. This night battle was terrible.
The machine guns ratified and the
field artillery clustered. We were
uncertain of the strength and direc-
ton of the enemy's counter attack.
In the darkness, while moving over
painless ground cut by trenches in all
directions, Jul reserves succeeded in
getting forward and without knowing
where the enemy was they received
an order to advance. In the darkness,
sometimes torn by dazzling flashes of
fire, we did not know whether we
shot the enemy or our own men.
without mercy the Bulgarian bat
teries threw a death-dealing hail of
p%rojectiles over us. After another
two hours we found. ourselves with
drawing in a confused throng, when
suddenly the hurrahs of the charging
Bulgarians rang out right and left.

from Nazim, who heretofore has been
the leader in the agitation in the army
for a continuance of the hostilities
until the vindication of the Ottoman
arms.
Russian Move Resented.
1t has been clearly understood here
since the probability of the fall of
Constantinople first became evident
that Russia was the most anxious of
all the powers to prevent the entrance
of the B%ulgarians into the Turkish
capital, from which the victorious Rus
sian forces were debarred by the guns
OF the British feet in the closing
phase of the war of 1877-7S.
The very intensity of Russia's de-
sire to prevent the logical outcome of
the Bulgarian victories, therefore,
served as an incentive to the Bull
garian commanders to accelerate the
operations, hammer the Turkish de-
lenses to pieces at both Adrianople
and Constantinople, and march their
victorious troops into STEAMBOAT before
the hostile sentiment of the Powers
could have time to crystalline into
collective action to rob Bulgaria of
the triumph she has so dearly won.
A correspondent with the Bulgar-
ian Army writes as follows:
Il had talk with Major Nahil Bey.
who was captured during the last
sortie at Adrianople and wounded in
the left breast with a splinter from a
shell. He told me: During the last
days the fire of the heavy Bulgarian
guns was uncomfortable in Adrianople.
In front of the intrenchments the
earth was furrowed to the depth of a
yard. Owing to the superior range
OF the enemy's guns our artillery was
unable to reach them and we decided
upon a night attack with fourteen
battalions from Karagjus.
1t was a dismal night and the
)torm howled. 1t had been a dull,
rainy day, and all afternoon the men
had been lying in the wet and mud
OF the trenches. Twice the order to
advance was given and twice counter
manded. 1t was a terrible trial of
nerves for the officers to explain the
withdrawal of orders to the grum-
bling men who, two days detached
from the northeast, had only eaten
biscuits soaked in hot water.

ROYALTY WELCOMES The
AMERICAN SETTLER
HIS ROYAL HIGHNEss, THE DUKE
Or cONNAUGHT, WELCOMES
AMERICANS TO CANADA.

1t was a happy speech, that on that
beautiful October day, the Duke of
~Connaught, Covernor-Gener of Can
ada, made at Macleod, Alberta. 1t
was an opportune speech, heartful
n resonant with good fellowship.
And, as 1t was specially intended for
American ears, the audience, com
prised largely of so many American
settlers in Canada, the time and place
could not have been better chosen.
1t was in reply to an address of well
come rendered to him at The pretty
city of Macleod, with Che foothills of
the Rockies as a setting. and the
great wheat fields between, and in
fact all around the place as the fore
ground, that His Highness, true to the
best interests of the country and to
those of the Americans who choose
to make Canada their home, said In
part:
u am well aware that among those
Wnom | am now addressing, there are
a very great proportion who were not
born under the British flag. Most of
these will have realized by now that
residence under that flag implies no
disabilities. All we ask is that the
laws of Canada should be obeyed.
with this provision every n is

and to die as seems best to him, and

from over the border. Thrice we well

History is repeating itself. For
many years hundreds of young Brit

about a change, and the tide has set
in the other direction, bringing across

it's character from an important cat

What it has lost from the pictur-
esque point of view, it has gained in
the material side, and I wish, in con-
c%lusion, to express the hope that the
prosperity which has evinced itself
here for the past ten years, may con-
tinue undated in the future"

MADE A CLEAN JOB OF IT
First Time Old Gentleman Had Eaten
a Grab, and He Left Nothing
on the Dish.

A jolly old boy from the Midlands
entered into one of the hotels at the
seaside, and, seeing on the slab on
the right a crab dressed on the shell
with legs, claws and parsley ranged
round, said to the landlord:
What dye call that?"

Looks good. I'll have 'un; and gle
us a pint O. ale"
Bread and butter was added and the
diner left to his dinner. In about an
hour the genial landlord entered the
dining room to see If his guest was
getting on all right. He found him
chawing up the last claw, the chawer
red in the face, but beamipg.
Like the crab, sir?"

SCOFFERS
Often Make the S~taunchest Converts,

The man who SCOTS at an idea or
doctrine which he does not fully un.
derstand has at least the courage to
show where be stands.
The gospel of Health has many con-
verts who formerly laughed at the
idea that coffee and tea, for example,
ever hurt anyone. Upon looking into
the matter seriously, often at the sug-
gestlon of a friend, such persons
have found that Postum and a friends
advice have been their salvation.
My sister was employed in an east
ern city where she had to do calculat-
ing" writes an Okla. girl. "She suf.
fered with headache until she was al
most untitled for duty.
Her landlady persuaded her to unit
coffee and use Postum and in a few
days she was entirely free from head
ache" (Tea is just as Injurious as
coffee because it contains caffeine, the
same drug found in coffee.) "She told
her employer about it. and on trying

Idea advanced by my sister, that COT

However, we finally quit coffee and
began using Postum. Father has had

due to a severe cold, and l have lost
my headaches and soul stomach,
which I am now convinced came from
coffee.

Turkish infantrymen numbers of blank
cartridges and also cartridges of the
old German rifles used in 1871. He
also drew the swords of some of the
fallen Ottoman cavalrymen and found
them unsharpened and blunt, and it

He saw a battery of field guns which
had been captured by the Servians.
The sights were fixed at $500 yards,
but the barrels were only slightly dis

their reserve ammunition boxes they
found them filed with soap.

Her Name Was Not Polly Ticks,

During the late campaign an Illinois
candidate for the legislature was driv-
ing through the country, seeking votes
among the farmers, when he met a
young man in farmers garb, walking
by the roadside.
Having in mind a prospective vote,
he stopped his horse and saluted him
in a familiar manner, inquiring:
Are you paying any attention to
politics nowadays?"
The young man stopped, looked at
him s~uspiciously, and drawled out:
mo, stranger; that don't happen to
be my gals name; but eff it was, 1
wouldn't think it was any of your

behind a bride and groom in a Pull

went through a long tunnel. AS it
emerged into the light of day the
bride was grabbing desperately at her
hat and fighting three fast rounds
with one or two hatpins which had
become loosened.
In order to relieve the situation and
inject some harmless conversation
into the gap, Blanchard remarked:
This tunnel cost $12, 900, 0OO."

Perhaps the smallest farms in the
world, each four by eight feet, have
been devised by Mrs. Henry Parsons
for the International Children's School
Farm league, and demonstrated in
New York. Each child becomes owner
of his diminutive farm, in which he
works, grows and harvests seven diff
ferent kinds of vegetables, and these
are borne by him in triumph to his
family. About each farm is an 1S-inch

his instructor it becomes a tiny OBJ
