Harrow lnw Kxperlenrea In Tryln* to Save tlir Wounded — IHteoua Calls For IIeli»—Fearful Fate of a Soldier W’ith Shattered Lega—Men^addened l>>- Fain Dance Naked In the Cold. The following translation from the Russian of an officer writing in the St. Petersburg Bourse Gazette appears iu the Globe of London. It shows one of the many saddening pictures that hare been sent to Russia from Manchuria: “It all took place oue night after an engagement, which bad gone against us (Russians), ns usual. We w T ere in camp. All around me were tired men with sad faces and weary hearts. To make matters worse, all our food sup ply was exhausted. There was not u field hospital anywhere near us and there was no fuel for making a camp fire. All the baggage bad disappeared literally into the earth, for nobody knew where it was. There were 25 de grees of cold. One’s skin cracked and began to peel off, and the blood in one’s veins seemed to become lumps of ice. In such circumstances it would have meant a certain death to have stood still or to have given way to weariness. As it was, many of the men did .not survive that night. Just picture our terrible plight. If you can. Just picture 10,000 men huddled closely together, 10,000 men from among whom came only the heavy tramping of their feet on the hard, frozen ground. Besides the tramp of feet there was not a sound, uot even a whisper. “The stragglers who bad-found their way to the camp said that In the open country to right and left, iu front and in their rear, they bad heard cries for help, walling and lamentation, groans and sighs from our wounded, who had 1k‘cu left behind in the darkness far from the main force. They wanted to catch up with their comrades, hut such of them as could manage to walk had no means of helping the weaker ones to get along, and so they had to he left behind to their fate. For what could have been done with them? How was it possible to help them? “ AVe must .get together the wound eu,’ ’-f cried aloud. "^vV^cannot leave them to die without tryIng' N ifci help Some of them could only manage to drag themselves about on the blood covered remnants of their bodies. Oth ers, carrying revolvers, rifles or swords, ran about uttering the most piercing shrieks and brandishing their weapons In the air. They rushed upon us—upon us who had gone out to help them— but they did not recognize us, and they called out: ‘Don’t come near us! Don’t come near us! Get away with you!’ Then we saw that they were all raving mad. * • • gome bullets fell among us. One of my men rolled over and writhed as he lay, and then another toppled over. What could I do? I or dered the retreat to the <*mp. Foi hours after our torches had gone out the cries of the madmen reached us aud grew fainter with distance, until at last they ceased. The cold had si lenced them. In the morning every man of them was stiff aud stark, for not one of the wounded men had sur vived that night. "Next day a bullet hit me iu the left shoulder. Whenever I look hack on the horrors of that awful night I lose the wish to live. Neither by day nor by night can I get rid of the remembrance of the terrible picture. There is al ways before me the horrible picture of that body, with both legs shot away, which hit my leg, aud I cannot rid my eyes of the sight of those naked, blood stained madmen dancing and howling in their madness. I often ask myself. Will not that same madness seize me? Shall I not also lose my reason? And if it is to he so, would it not he better for me to have b§en left on the battle field?” CHALLENGE TO COWBOYS. Women to Compete For Title oi World's Champion Hroneho Buster.

Impaired Digestion May not be all that Is meant by dytjxptia now, but it will be if neglected. The uneasiness after eating, fits of nerv ous headache, sourness of the stomach, and disagreeable belching may not be very bad now, but they will be if the stomach is suffered to grow weaker. Dyspepsia is such a miserable disease that the tendency to it should be given early attention. This is completely over come by Hood’s Sarsaparilla which strengthens thewhole digestive system No Monopoly of Brains. (Yorkville Enquirer.) One of the many hopeful signs of the times is the apparent decay of the breed of so called great men, those mighty personalities that in for mer times stood out like a solitarv tree in a vast prairie. The reason for it. of course, is the- distinction of of all those old time monopolies of brains which stunted all human beings except a few who by chance rather than by superiority of fiber grew and developed. There are thousands, lit erally thousands, of men now living who if they had lived a century or so ago and had done a work similar to that which they are doing without any very sonorous fanfare atx it the trum- nets of fame would have been the talk of the world and the main topic of history. And how many of the so-call ed great men, soldiers and thinkers of former times, would he impossible today because those achievements depended chiefly upon the ignorance and incapacity of the overwhelming mass of the men of their day! Truly this is the age of opportunity. Not Altogether Satisfactory. A young civil engineer employed some years ago on the line of the Al abama Midland railroad, while he was j at work in Henry county, Alabama, chanced to meet a piney woods las^ i with whom he became infatuated.

After a stay at her home of some minutes, he casually inquired, “Mary, how did you like your parrott?” With some! hesitation, she replied, “Not so well, the meat was rather tough.” She had cooked the bird and eaten it.

The feeling of pity was quench ed, aud nobody shuddered any longer at the most horrible sights. Every where was a deadened Indifference. From the generals down to the com mon soldiers everybody knew that per haps it would be his turn tomorrow. Still, I found a few sparks of feeling among theVn. 1 managed to scrape to gether a few stretchers, and about 100 of the soldiers followed me as I struck out of the camp into the intense black ness of the night. “We lighted torches, but we had scarcely need of them, for after we had marched for about au hour the groans of the wounded were a better guide to us than were our torches, which were swept about by the wind in all direc tions and threatened to go out every moment. Every now and then we pulled ourselves up shortly like fright ened horses as we stumbled up against batches of men. Suddenly I was aware that something had seized me and was holding me fast to the spot; something was closing iu on me like iron bauds. It was two hands grasping my feet aud digging into my flesh like hooks of steel, while’ a man's teeth were try ing to tear through the leather of my high hoots, and all the time amid a horrible howling like the haying of a dog. I cried aloud from fright, and some of my men came running up. We saw lying before us a shattered mau, a blood soddened body, for both his legs had been shot away. As it was quite impossible to get me free from the poor fellow, some of the men with me smashed the man’s skull with their musket ends. How I survived those moments I cannot tell. My heart seem ed to cease to heat and wild, delirious thoughts passed through my brain as if I were In a deep fever. I felt that 1 must escape from the terrors of that awful night, so I pulled myself togeth er aud called out to the meu: ‘Stop it: stop It! Quickly, quickly! I can hear It no longer!’ “I was about to returu to the camp when suddenly we heard on our right howling and shrieking, wilder and more penetrating than the piteous calls for help which camo to us from all sides. As I could not refuse to follow the howling, I went, much against my will, In the direction whence It came. In the weird light cast by the torche-, which could scarcely pierce the dark ness, I saw before me—and it was in no hallucination—fifty, a hundred, proba bly two hundred, men, nil stark naked and capering and dancing about In all manner of movements, and all the time they uttered curses. Yes, they dhl dance. "With the thermometer standing at 4 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit, naked and with their bodies covered with wounds, scars and scratches and wltl the blood dried upon them from head to foot, these men, such of them at could do so, danced wildly and madly the title of the world’s best rider. Two northern Colorado girls also indicated their desire to enter, and it is expeete ! the initiative taken by Miss Kaeper- nlck will be followed by others. Miss Kaeperuick was a frontier vis Itor last year and during the celebra tion in response to a challenge jokingly made by one of her friends mounted and broke an outlaw horse to the in tense delight of 20,000 people gathered at Frontier park. This year her riding will not be iu the form of au exhlbl tion, but as a contestant for worhl championship honors. Miss Kaeperuick was born and rear ed In Colorado and resides with her fa tber on his ranch, near Sterling. From earliest ihfaney she has ridden horses until the breaking of an untamed steed is an incident and not a feat. She rides the range like a cowboy, assists In the branding of live stock and breaks all of the horses on her father's ranch. SHOCKED BY FAIR BATHERS.
