But now and then, when he supposed he was entirely unobserved, the white haired veteran would bow his head and sob as if from a broken heart. The Emperor meant to pay him the beautiful compliment of making him the guar- dian of the Prince Imperial's three little sons, But first there was other work to do. So with his war-worn velerans Nogi was hurried from Port Arthur up to Mukden, where we are told he hurled himself like a thunderbolt upon the Russians. Beyond question it was he and his men, with their cry of "Make way for us We are from Port Arthur!" that more than any others staggered and shattered the Rus. sian legions.
The world has heard a great deal of late 'about the Japanese spirit. Exploiters of the "yellow peril" bave rung the changes upon the "essential barbarism" of that amazing people. It may be 10. But there are those Secretary, who will say that if such men as Nogi are ex- 1489 emplars of barbarism, that is the sort of bar barism we want. To most his career looks like that of a hero who would be an adorn ment and an honour to any race, and of whom the world may learn much in both tenderness lessons from the whole Japanese establishment and terribleness; as it may also learn great in militay sanitation and in the art of scientific

Prompt and faithful in every con tract or engagement they enjoy the confidence, of the public and command a class of trade that le refused to unstable or tricky competitors.
