as the Caspian Sea, and their ap-
Fpearance on the battlefield was
enough to turn the tide. Of victory to
their favor. At last the allied army
of 10000 Chinese and japanese
met 100000 Tartars on the field Of
Heung-noo. It was the most terrible
conflict in 500 years. From early
dawn to high noon the overwhelm-
ing number of the enemy held back
the Chinese onslaught. At last realiz-
ing that victory depended upon the
Japanese, Prince Kamoni formed his
yellow Crysanthemum Brigade, now
reduced to 10000 men in the form
Of an arrow head, with himself as
the tip, and launched it forward
like a hurricane to cut the barbara
an horde in two.
For. fifty years the Tartar tribes
of Central Asia talked Of the charge
Of the yellow Crysanthemum at
Heung-noo. Over four-fifths of the
Japanese fell but they slew 10000
Tartars. The Chinese on the flanks
killed as many more. It was the most
celebrated victory in Chinese history.
The next day they found the body
Of Prince Kamoni surrounded by
twenty-seven dead Tartars. lying on
his back smile on his face, and his
yellow Chrysanthemum shield up
turned on his breast. The Princess
Huni-Tu never broke her plighted
word, and after her death yellow
Chrysanthemums bloomed above her
grave. To this day in the land of the
Rising Sun to offer a maiden
Chrysanthemum is equivalent to
declaration of undying devotion, and
her acceptance means that it is re-
ciprocated.

THE cHRYsANTHEMUM


This is the season Of the year
that the chrysanthemum comes to
grace our gardens. ......
As we look upon this magnificent
flower as it lifts its proud head in
grandeur vying in splendor with the
queen Of flowers, the Rose, we are
reminded of the beautiful story Of
Princess Huni-Tu. It was long about
the year 200 Of the Chinese dynasty
Of Hote Kau which between you and
me, means about the year 10 A. D.,
and the great Che Huang-te sat on
the throne Of China.
Japan at this time, although ruled
by her own emperor, defendant Of
the Sun God, was a vassel of China,
preferring to spend her time with
religion and art rather than with
war. How different was ancient jap
an from the Japan Of today. For
fifty years the Chinese had urged
constant warfare against the Tar
tars, the barbarins Of the north and
the Emperor Che Huang-te had de-
cided upon q campaign Of extermi-
nation by an army Of 100000. Each
Of the provinces was expected to
furnish its quota Of fighting men to
make up the great army Of conquest, /.
and Japan was called upon for 50,- /,
900 soldiers. In all Japan there was |.
no one more universally be- /,
loved than the Prince Kamoni, who !
was chosen by lot to lead the Japan
csc contingent against the barbara
ans. He was a lineal descendant of
the Sun God, even as the Emperor,
though younger brother Of a ruler
three or four generations proceed
ing. In all the sports of the nobility
he was the leader. He was also the
peer of the scholars in knowledge of
the arts and sciences. He was the
of all the imperial circle
and the accepted sutton of Princess
Huni-Tu, the most beautiful maid
en- Of the court. The $4,000 Japan
csc were raised by voluntary offer;
even at that time it was considered
IN honor to die for ones country in
lime Of necessity. II
On the eve of his departure
Prince Kamoni sent a message ,
10 his sweetheart praying for ,
ZONE sign that she would re- ,
main true to him until his return.
For reply she sent him a beautiful .
yellow Crysanthemum. Prince Kam-
mi adopted the flower as the SYM
,ol Of his command and on the front ,
# every shield he painted brilliant !;
Fellow Chrysanthemum. For four
'ears every battle the japanese
ook part in was won. The farme of
