Dead at Liao-Yang.
Me had no quarrel with any man,
He knew not what they called him for;
Yet, roll and pack upon his back,
Ivan, the peasant, went to war.
"The llttlf father calls." he said,
And followed, followed as he sang,
Till on a tiampled trench he lay
Among the dead at Liao-Yang.
Not his the dream of land and power.
The greed of gain, the dread of loss;
lie marcht d with orders to the lield
To bear his rifle- and his cross.
God had ordained it, so he faced
The pelting hail that snarled and sang
And gave his patient blood away
Among the dead at Llau-Yans*
Amnnt; the glitter of his court
In safety sat the mystic czar;
Safe sat the scheming minister
Who cast a careless die for war;
They could not hear the shattered groan,
The horrid chant of death that rang
Where unconsulted thousands lay,
Among the dead at l,iao-Yang.
He had no quarrel with any man,
He had no cause to battle for;
Yet, roll and pack upon his back,
Ivan, the peasantT ,went to war.
A minister had made a map
From which a deadly army sprang,
So Ivan fell and made no sign
Among the dead at Uao-\ang.

were sent down tho river road and
posted at the lower end of the nar-
rows. There was only one post and
the reserve held the road.
"The picket post was a natural i-art,
formed by detached rocks that had
broken loose from the mountain and
fallen so as to make a rock-inelosed
bastion large enough to hold com-
fortably five or six men. On the side
next the mountain was a large rock,
nearly flat on top, this top sloping
downward toward the inside of the
fort. This rock was seven or eight
feet high, witli a tlat face and a step,
or shelf, about two feet high, which
was a standing invitation to a man
of average parts to sit down.
"I was on first relief and was post-
ed in the fort, the officer in charge
saying: 'If you hear anyone coming
down from the direction of tho moun-
tain fire and fall back on the reserve.'
Soon 1 heard someone coming—com-
ing boldly and making a good deal of
noise. I brought my gun into position,
and tho old muzzle loader seemed,
in its anxiety to get into action, to
describe all sorts of curves and cir-
cles. It gyrated like a searchlight
striving to locate the enemy, and the
inclination to pull the trigger was al-
most irresistible, and finally I
pulled it.
"There was a tremendous explosion
in my immediate vicinity and a noise
in front like the scurry of a cavalry
company. Then there was a thump-
ing against the big rock and in three
minutes I was reinforced by the en-
tire picket outfit. There was still a
thumping noi3e in front ana "some of
the boys went forward to see how
many cavalrymen I had put out of ac-
tion. Snug up against my little fort
lay a fine, fat 2-year-old steer, with a
short piece of chain around his neck,
and, mark you, shot in the head. That
meant fresh beef in camp."—Chicago

Selects Wife's Tolleta.
It is a common thing in Paris for a
man to accompany his wife to the
dressmaker's. The young wife who
has known no gayer attire than the
coming-out gown of the jesire fille
needs careful advice as to her toilets,
and her husband, if he bo a certain
type ol' man of the world, knows how
to give It.
London's "Little Italy."
Reporting upon the "Little Italy"
of one of London's most crowded dis-
tricts, the health officer of the dis-
trict says that the Italians are "gen-
erally superior" to the English per-
sons who are their neighbors. They
also take more care of their children,
among whom the death rate is low,
and they are sober.

Fun on Picket Duty.
"I can't see yet," said Dan R. An-
derson, "where those Russians and
Japs have any fun on picket. Now,
in the old days there was always
something doing in the First Ken-
tucky, and it was more exciting in tho
early days of the war to go on picket
than to go scouting. On one occasion
while we were in camp at Kanawha
Kails I was detailed for picket with
Bob Murphy, Donald Brick and John
Banister or my own company, and five
or six men from other companies. We
Gen. Black's Farewell.
Gen. John C. Black, who has just
retired from tho office of the head of
the Grand Army of the Republic,
crowned a very successful administra-
tion by presiding with marked dignity
and ability over the national encamp-
ment the proceedings of which were
characterized by unblemished good
feeling, earnestness and zeal. Gen.
Black's address to the encampment
was touchingly eloquent and grandly
fraternal. We quote from it briefly,
as follows:
"A year since, at San Francisco, you
elected mo commander-in-chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic. In ac-
cepting the high office I was enjoined
to use the power with prudence and
judgment and with regard to the feel-
ings of those associated with me and
only with one thought—the interest
of our noble order. This was the
charge laid upon mo by that Senior
of us all whom wo delight to honor,
and whose wise counsels have ever
been at his comrade's service. The
obligation I then assumed I have to
the best of my ability kept and per-
formed; it is for the record now op-
ened before you to testify in what
measure 1 have succeeded. Touched
by unfaltering Time, our ranks are
thinned (despite all recruiting), but
they remain firm and united. Those
who survive are the Old Guard of the
Republic, who have never known over
throw, whose high ideals still remain,
whose noble obligations are unbroken,
whose deeds of fraternity charity and
loyalty still bind up brothers' wounds,
still minister to the wants of the
weary and worn; still lift on high the
unsullied standards of country, hu-
manity and God. For us all abides
one unalterable purpose—the Union
the whole Union; one prayer—that its
blessings of peace and liberty may be
wide as the world; one pledge—of life
and fortune and sacred honor to the
upholding of starry Splendors of Free
dom's flag."
Bee a Night Worker.
A hoe that works only at night is
found in the jungles of India. It is
an unusually large insect, the combs
being often six feet long, four fset
wido and from four to six inches thick.
Wealth of the Rothschilds.
Meyer Anselm Rothschild, founder
of the groat house of that name, died
in 1812. To-day the thirty millions
of Rothschilds aro worth more than
$600,000,000.
Cure to Stay Cured.
Wapello, Iowa, Oct. 10 (Special)—
One of the most remarkable cures
ever recorded in Louisa County is
that of Mrs. Minnie Hart of this place.
Mrs. Hart was in bed for eight months
and when she was able to sit up she
was all drawn up on one side and
could not walk across the room.
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured her. Speak-
ing of her cure Mrs. Hart says:
"Yes, Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me
after I was in bed for eight months
and I know the cure was complete
for that was three years ago and I
have not been down since. In four
weeks from the time I started taking
them I was able to make my garden.
Nobody can know how thankful 1 am
to be cured or how much I feel I owe
to Dodd's Kidney Pills."
This case again points out how
much the general health depends on
the Kidneys. Cure the Kidneys with
Dodd's Kidney Pills and nine-tenths of
the suffering the human family is heir
to, will disappear.
Matches that are made in heaven
have nothing to do with the mistit
alliances between poverty-stricken
foreigners and silly American heiress,

Immense Pumpkin.
A mammoth pumpkin grown on
George Wagner's farm at Deep River,
Conn., this season measures six feet
in circumference and is two feet
neroen.
Kvery housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 1C oz.—one full
pound—while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in %-pound pack-
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem-
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a
12-oz. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
Ho knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let-
ters and figures "16 ozs." Demand
Defiance und save much time and
money and tho annoyance of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.
