HIS PERlLOUS RIDE.
Strategy Of a Dispatch Bearer In the
Russo Japanese War.

Russo Japanese war.
The invention Of wireless telegraphy
has done away with much of the old
time dispatch sending which was so
picturesque feature of previous wars.
Often when two friendly armies are
separated by force of the enemy it is
a matter Of defeat or victory that a
means Of communication shall be open
ed between them. Thousands Of brave
men have lost their lives in performing
this temporary war postal service.
During the Russo-Japanese war an
officer Of Cossacks offered to carry a
dispatch which ten horsemen had al
ready failed TO get through.
"The others have failed" the officer
insisted, because they travelled on
horseback. | shall go under my bOrse."
Under your horse.' the general ex-
claimed. But he accepted the offer Of
the volunteer. Wheseupon the Cossack
officer received the communion, said
his prayers, babe goOdby to his men
and started off in the middle of the
night strapped face downward beneath
his horse, which he guided by means
of passing the reins between the fore
legs Of the horse. The japanese out
posts whistled to what they thought
was a ridcrlcss horse, but did not shoot
at it when it did not heed them. The
animal driven on by kicks from the
officers heels, accomplished the jour-
ney of thirty miles in safety. On the
following night the officer returned as
he had gone.
When Lieutenant Gilmore, an officer
Of our navy, was captured by the Fill
pinos during an instruction he sent
news Of his whereabouts through the
Filipino lines by a Spanish prisoner
who had been liberated. Naturally all
such persons were carefully searched.
But the insurgent officer failed to eX-
anime the bamboo walking staff Of the
Spaniard. The end had been opened,
the written message inserted, and a
cork was fitted into the hole again,
which also rendered the paper safe
from water.-Rocky Mountain News.

Deadly Prussic Acid.

Prussic acid is SO deadly that even
the smell of the acid produces pain in
the throat and in the region of the
heart There are few poisons for which
there is such little opportunity for an
antidote. If there is time-and there
seldom is, for the poison is almost in

BY friendship l mean the greatest

of which brave men and women are
capable.-Jeremy Taylor.
