This finely 'descriptive story of the as
sault upon Kin Chau appeared In a recent
issuo of Blackwood Magazine:
"Three Japane Infantrymen leaned with
their back against a greasy ea rock,
which raised lt allmy crest lour feet abovo
.the level of the water. The threo little
men were fortunate, since they were able
to rest thffr rifles on the rock, while the
res fortunate of their companion, wnlst
deep In the water, wcro wcoflel to deatn
In keeping the brtecho of their pieces oit
of the brine. The three itemed entirely In
different to the discomfort of their sur
roundings, though tho whole company had
been wading In the mud flats for th; Ust
three hours and had now halted la a deep
pool forrfKd In a snnd depression. They
were engMeJ in. a conparl-ion of their ex
perience i during the lat twelve hours.
"To the western soldier the experiences
of a lifetime tbvll have bptn crfvored In
the short rpuce o: t!ms taken by the fourtn
division cf the Imperlil Jnpar.e-'e army to
carry at the pnlit of the b-iyrhi:t the
walled town of Kir. Chan. To the Jrpnr.eie
soldier It woa tut n (iollshtful Incident In
the Bervloe whlrh th?Ir country required of
them. Their theme ot tho moment was the
bloody f ripe they had been ensatrcd Irt

oppeared to take no Interest In the loreer

In the vicinity. They were disoue-lng the

the character of the Japan re soldier.

"There wax a io.il yuig ruh of a great

him on the back and bubbled with mirth
in the esctacy of their congratulations.
The mutilated remains floated clear and
the rank! closed up. "
"Then an officer oame wading through 'the
eft. He shouted an order to the colonel
from mourn to moutn down me una 01
company officers, and then the three little
infantry men had to stow their rice laJ
ksts away quickly and take their rifles
, from the rest which the slimy rock gave
j them. The battalion was to move.
Where and how the men In the ranks did
not know, but as the water descended
. flfst to their knees and then to their aaklea,
they realised that they were moving Off to
the left, and to their great Joy the dlreo-
tton was taking them nearer to the Russian
position. As their feet made the dry shore
that position became defined to them.
There was no mistaking it, for the gun
boats, having spent the whole morning
dragging for blockade mines in the l-y,
had now found a channel by which they
could safely take advantage of (heir light
draught, and, having anchored, their shells
were bursting all along the eummlt of the
lope which frowned In front of the ad
vancing Infantry; also, far awny 10 the
left, the dark shadow of Mount Pnmpson's
lopes were emitting countlass little Jets
ot flume. They came and wont almost
with mathematical precision. These Jets
were the burning charge of . the massed
Japanese field batteries. They were add
ing to thi I Inferno which crowned the
ridge where the Siberian rifles, grim,
dottged and hungry, lay prostrato behind
the filled gabions waiting for the climax
, which they knew this fierce cannonade but
prefaced. The advancing Infantry could
trace the enemy's position from the burst

If they wre readlns a chnrt. They could

The' Infantry battalion began to crawl
tipward as Its direction brought it under
the cover of the ridge. It was now crossing
ground recently held by the leading battal
ion of the fourth division. The ranks fre
quently opened, to avoid trampling upon
tho trail of human suffering which marked
th accuracy of Russian shooting. The

Here n eight-Inch Obucbofl had swept a
doten valiant, little bluecoats from their
feet, and they lay a mutilated mass; here
automatle an mitrailleuse bad mown down
a file of men and they lay prostrate or eat
self-dJ-iesIng their wounda much a they
had fallen; and here solitary yellow facea,
turning tawny gray In death-tint, told of
the Berdan pellet through the brain. Some
few with lesser hurts than the majority
raised their weakening limbs to cheer their
comrades on, and there seemed to be no
tongue, excepting those forever Still, too
parched to articulate 'Bansai!'
'Bansai! Eansall Banral!' shouted Maht
somahto and hl comrades with him as they
leaped from side to side to avoid a pros
trste form, or, little recking of tha pain
they oauseci. In passing, seised and shook
some outstretched hand. Who shall stop
such solders ! What force under heaven
can stay men who go forth to battle In
like spirit! look at the battalion a It
passes bencsth you. Look at the midday
sun glinting on tho points of the fixed bayo
nets; look at the dull black stains at the

Desperate Flay-
"The compitnieg deploy and He down on
the unexposed elope of the knoll It IS noth
ing more than a knoll and Its summit !s
swept with a rsee of nickel, steel and lead.
As the men look back the"y see, after the
last company has deployed and Is flat be
hind them that they themselves have
doubled the human wreckage on the plain.
Like the desperate players that they are,
they have doubled the Mokes. The play Is
high, but they will have to play higher yet
before the gar-,e Is won or lost. The col
onel is knee'.lng at the head of his prostrate
battalion, a dark little sta.!T ofljeer kneels
at his side.- The whistle summons the com
pany commanders. Vprlght they stride
over the reclining men. What the colonel
Mvs th men yet d- not know; the ma
jority do not care; they nr? lying on' their
hacks taking Ir. tfie wonderful scene behind
them. In front of them nre only Ruerlan
ncldwork. which nre contemptible, and
rjlorlous death. Behind thrrn unfolds the
panorama cf their beloved country's
strength, power, find wnat perhaps does
not sppenl so mucy- to them devotion. To
ths left Is the great blue shallow bay in
which until recently they were standing.
The middle distance Is broken by Ave gun
boats, whopo war-dulled hulls rporkle with
the constant flashes from the gune. The
dirty smcke from their funnels, driven
southward, mingles with the grest somber
ppll above the Rurslan works, to that the
brlyht sunlight 1 scarred with a band of
sullen black. Half a doten torpedo boats
art circling in the roadstead, worrying
spitefully, like terriers at a wolf nt bty,
willing to strike, yet conscious of the power
of this particular enemy, Well may tney
bo cautious, for th surface Of the water
is torn into spits of foam, as projectiles
fall without intermission In and amons tho
shlpn. But It Is on land that the panorama
is more impressive. Behind the prostrate
troops, from their very feet, almost as far
as eye ron reach, the narrow tongue of land
Is packed with masses of Infantry. The
sun runs riot upon acres of bared and
flashing bayonets, right away as far as the
mud walls of Kin Chu, which those very
bayonets had won that morning. Men and
horse, 50,000 men massed for the fleshing,
suffering death nt random a target im
possible to miss until the moment shall ,
arrive for them to put their crude patriot
ism to the final test.
"Tho company officers return to their
commands, and the word passes down the
line that the battalion, together with the
sister battalion lying paralloj with them on
the left, la t assautt the nearest Russian 1
works,- 'Open tip the Russian forts' ls'the
expression used and a suppressed murmur
of 'Banzai!' flickers Wwn the ranks as the
men raise themselves on to thetr knees.
. Gape la the Rnaka. i
" 'Right shoulder" a little. It is useless
to moke men climb the steeper portion of
the peak. 'Right shoulder!' and the easier
path over the saddle will be found. One
minute, and the men can almost feel the
rush of air from the race of projectiles
passing Immediately above them; the next.
and through the gapa torn in the ranks
of the company In front of them, they see
their goal, and intuitively make mental
measure of the distance to be crossed. Two
hundred yards to the bottom of the dip
here the scattered buildings of a fishing
village and then 400 yards of gentle climb
to that sky-line, with its demarkatlon of
unceasing flashes and its dull yellow-gray
curtain of clinging picric cloud.
"Above the thunder of battle, the clash
and rattle of guns, the grinding of the
automatic death machines and the sicken
ing swish of metal, sweeping poor human
frames by scores before it, rises the full-
throated cry of Japan, Bansai! 'Live a
thousand years I' and. almost before the
men have realised that they are facing a
tornado, those that have not been stricken
down have reached the cover of the village.
But what a trail they have left behind
them; the rearmost oompanies have to open
out and diverge to right and left, for the'
slope is a tnosalo of prostrate uniforms.
The crash and racket cn their front Inten
sifies and beneath the rain of projectiles the
meager walls of tho village crumble and
subside, A haze of sun-baked mud dust
rises from the subsiding pile, and, clinging
in the dead nlr, covers somewhat the car-
nugo In Its midst. A Font house fulls and
crushes half a platoon beneath It. A bovy
of terror-stricken women and children,
bolted by flame, shell and Fights of death
from their hiding places, dash blindly for
the open a moment, and they, too, swell
the tale of massacre. The full-throated
war cry of Japan Is dead.

How to answer a small "ad" beoomsS a
question with thousands of person after
the advertisement of ths Would-bs tn
ployer has lsnded in promising Holds, and
not infrequently after tha advertisement Of
the "situation wanted" young mall hai
come up with the employer. Not infre
quently ths employer who needs tha serv
ices of a man Is In a position' bitnssif
where he must ask. concessions from the
applicant as to tbe matter of hours, or
salary, or office conditions that ars t&
normal. Without exception the position of
the anonymous applicant for a plao Pt
him In the attitude of striving to pleass In
his first note to the advertiser.
If the composition of a small ad is of ma
terial consequence, the matter embodied In
the answer to the small ad Is Incalculably
so. On the part of the applicant for a posi
tion, the misspelling of a r.ngle word ad
dressed to Ihe unknown personage who
wishes help may ruin his chances where
every other requirement might appear in
the letter to the satisfaction of the adver
tiser. Cannot Benefit by Criticism.
The disheartening thing about the search
for a position through the lists of adver
tising employers is that the disappointed
applicant does not know what he has
missed, and where, and how. "O a" has
no meaning for hint other than that It Is
an opportunity. He addresses the hidden
source cf the small ed and no answer In
any form Is received. If he be more cr less
Incompetent the earmarks of his Incompe
tency will appear In all his answers, and
the disappointed one will suffer profound
discouragement, 'having no knowledge of
his faults brought to hla attention by any
form of criticism.
On the other hand, many ft capable one
has written and written In vain. In such
a case It may be set down that ths appli
cant has not been able to do himself Justlos
In his Impersonal nots.
Often Jni1ed by HanTwrHlnsr.
There ore thousands of people who have
the Idea that they can Judge character In
the handwriting. Some of these have Stud
led the sot rules formulated by believers in
the Iden,. Others simply take up their own
preconceived notions as .their guide and fre
quently do rank Injustice through tha
prejudices that they form. "Address, IB
own handwriting," has come to be almoit
Inevitable In the small ad. seeking men
nr.d women for office positions. Ai A gen
eral thing, this has no relation to the study
of character, but in order for the employer
to determine, as he mny, whether tho chl
rography is clear enough and whether It be
rnpld enough to satisfy.
Vertical writing has been passed upon by
the Chicago business man, for Instance, He
wants norie of It. It Is clear enough for
a child In the reading, but It is slow to the
point of exasperation. "The Western
Union" handwriting waa well established
before the typewriter came to make It ob
solete in great measure. Thla Western
Union hand is the evolution of speed. No
mAtter what bo the clerical wOrk of the
penman who Is observing, if he must make
speed he will gTavltate to the Western
Union stylo of full, round letters, made
with a free forearm movement, swinging
easily and lightly over the paper, the words
perhaps united In an unbroken line across
the sheet. Unmistakably tlje Interested one
may Judge of tho utility of an applicant's
style of writing.
Poor Spelling Costs Chance.
The next thing In ordor of significance
is the wording and spelling of the letter.
The plaint of the business man today Is
that the schools are allowing a race of
poor spellers to slip through the grammar
schools. It Is In the elementary grammar
schools that the youth of the country
should learn to spell, and it is significant
that If a pupil pass .these grades without
learning, he will go through life a poor
speller. To the person who knows spoiling
there is no greater shock than to flqd in
a sheet of manuscript wcrd after word in
common un butchered until he scarcely
recognises It.
Handwriting and spelling will continue to
be the great gauges of an applicant's capa
bilities in the routine of office, but now
aday office routine so often loads up into
office management that tbe employer of a
clerk not infrequently is looking beyond
that clerkship to the future needs of his
business; he may figure that it Is easier to
hire a clerk today who may become a
manager than it Is to wult until tomorrow
and try to hlro a manager.
Copying Makes Reply itllT.
In this way the answer to the small ad In
"help wantod" lines must show so of tea
the measure of the applicant's education,
brains and common sense. Thousands ot
stamps are wasted every day in ineffective
answers to the small ad. Th answers are
conventional. The applicant, unused per.
baps to writing and composing matter,
grows self-conscious over his pen and
pa,per. Hi" writing is stm; n:s tnougnts
are stiff. He writes, tears up, and rewrites.
All because ho cannot get himself together
and express to t;e on.piojer In a natural
manner something of that which ho would
say to the man could be meet him for a
wrbal talk, i
I havo seen letters of the kind written by
Intelligent but overanxious applicants that
absolutely were unlntcllly.ble throuch
mixed Kngllsh and the dropping of impor
tant words in the sentences. Such letters
frequently are written In the rough sod
copied. In the copying process the writer
not only dropped words, but hla after
reading of the note does not discover them.
When penmanship end spelling have been
passed it is the contents of an answer
to the small ad that decides whether the
applicant Is called for an Interview. In
this sense it is useless for the average
young uppllcant to make an average an
swer to the small ad offering a position.
Itolllnc Itoae Not Wasted.
I know pf an advertiser for help In
clerical work who threw out a dosen
answers to his advertisement, wholly on
ths ground that th applicants made the
common mistake of telling Just how many
Important positions they hod held lit nu
merous houses. "Why did they move so
often when I have so hard a time to find
a good man?" he asked, not without point
Other applicants make only the stereo
typed replies, telling that they are all ex
pert, accurate, industrious, and sober and
reliable. With ten men using these set ad
jectives with little variation the would-be
employer might easily decide thst a lock
of hair from each of them might be mort
distinguishing and better worth bis consid
eration. But however Ineffective th eommonp'lace
note In answer to an advertisement may
be. It Is better than a note of application,
which the applicant frequently ask soma
friend to writ for him. Such a note as
this might as well not be written. It Is
better for all concerned for the Incapable
one to lose all. ss I knew a men to Ks
by signing himself at ths end of bis rote,
"Tours respectively."
la It (url sens. "Hear to answer a
small ad," Is something having so many
bearings In so many fields and under so
many conditions that any fixed rule or
rules Is impossible. A a starting point it
may be said with a great Aegre of cer
tainty, that tha on who answer an adver
tisement upon which he cast "make good,"
beyond a doubt, will express himself In a
tnanner Indicating the fact to a shrewd em
ployer or other advertiser. But not all em
ployers axe shrewd, and not all capable
tnen.lUv th supreme test of confidence
In their abilities. But an Individuality In
an answer always counts. Not always In
favor of th writer, however: a strained
attempt may cost the writer all hla pros
pects. Know yourself. Recognise your limita
tions as well as your accomplishments.
Earnestness always will tell favorably, Re
member the office of tha answer to an ad
vertisement Is largely to allow you an audl
ence with the advertiser, at which you are
to convlno him, or fall. But see your man.
If possible, and in composing and executing
ths answer that shall lnaur this audlonee
you cannot draw too heavily upon your
common sense, tact and knowledge of men.

Old-Tim Taverae la IceOaad.
Taverns', in fact, played almost th i)nw
part In th social life of Edinburgh Curlrg
the third quarter of the eighteenth cen
tury as eoflee houses had done In London
In Addison's time. They were the coroui4
meeting places of a race of men to whom
horn meant little more than a place to
sleep. Doctors met their patients, lawyers
consulted with their clients over a mug of
ale or a lass of Jbrandy In tbe little rooms of
a dark tavern hiUf underground, Her
th ally magistrates were accustomed to
meet, and here th ministers of th general
assembly were enteAalned. Even trades,
people attended their business a mueh
within the tavern as within the shop. As
a result the greater part of the male popu
lation of Edinburgh drank steadily from
morn till eve, and fsr on Into the eight.
At ten o'clock at night the drum of the
city guard warned all God-fearing men
to leave th tavern and seek their homes.
In accordance with the provisions of an
ancient law which elosed all places of en
tertalnment s't that hour. But th law at
this time was laughed at by th very mag

sketch of the accomplished toper of the

THINKS SERIOUSLY OF BREAKING RECORD
Cobms t Omaha, Where he Is Beset
with Pretty Olrls, o Admits
Their Charms Are
Enticing.
Gladstone Dowle, the unklssed son ut
Elijah No. 3, the millionaire prophet, hus
a rival In H. C. Bollowf. a student t
Boyles Business college in Omaha.
Tall, handsome and self-possessed, H. C.
Rollowf of Eden, Kan., has lived twenty
Ave years and never has been kissed t
a girl. He admits the truth of the charge
with regret.
Paradoxical as It may seem, Rollowf
lived all his young life In Eden and never
had his serenity disturbed by a woma.i
It was" one Eden that the "tempteress
overlooked, and growing tired of wailln.
for the "tempteress." Rollowf sallied form
to find her. To do so he had to ride on a
railway train for the first time, have his
hair cut and do other strange and unusual
things. But he courageously did them and
now Is figuring out problems In percent..
at th business school.
Heretofore Rellowf's niche In life hat '
beeii housekeeper on his father's Kansas
farm. According' to reports, he was a
model. They Bay that no kitchen Was,
neater, no table better laden and no llnta
half so whit and dainty In tbe vicinity ot
Edeu as that kept by Rollowf.
Photo of Girl Attracts Him.
But the picture of a girl on an, advertise
mont for the college excited his free fancy.
His pleasant- domesticity was upset and
cooking lost it charm. Besides Rollov.f
thought there might be other things in tlu
world than contained in the kitchen ui.J
the barnyard, so he rebelled and came t.,
Omaha. Although he had never had any
thing more exciting than a ride on a trol
ley car, h used the steam cars to the Ne
braska metropolis without special even.
Landing here, finances were low and h
got a Job as waiter In a restaurant. This
give him plenty to eat and a little pocket
money fcr hcme-Uke knick-knacks, though
he Is forgetting about these In the hurly
burly life of the city and seeing ths girls.
"It's tho truth that I've never bean
kissed!" asserted Rollowf, almost trium
phantly. "Mayb If 1 had my life to live
over' I would make it a little ulifcr. nt,
though. Anyhow, 1 get tir4 of we..i...
dishes and sweeping fl o s and decided n
get out and learn something of the worlc
I don't know very mueh, I'll admit, bu
I am a first-class oook. I nevor though
very much about kUslr.g girls In Kansis
they never seemed to appeul to me l..
that way."
