THE MODERNIzED MEKADo.
Japanese Sovereign Has Abandoned
the Ultra Exciusiveness OF
HIS Ancestors

The mikado is the first Japanese SOW
sreign to emerge from the dignified re-
Eirement in which his predecessors
lived. This step has only increased the
passionate loyalty Of his subjects to-
ward him, and people are already COM
pairing him with the kaiser as regards
the prominent role he seems disposed
TO play, says a Yokohama correspond
ence of the London Mail.
During the army maneuvers his ma
iesty, who followed events with the
greatest interest and enthusiasm, or
dered TWO priyates to be brought be-
fore him. and questioned them through
the Medium Of his chief aide-de-camp.
His questions were Of the paternal
kind, such as the following:
How did they get on with the hard
ships Of barrack life2 Did they long to
60 home whenever they thought Of
their nearest relatives? Did they not
think their lot a hard one each time
their thoughts wandered back to the
ease and joys of their homer We're
they not feeling the effects of their
daily eNertiors ia the maneuyers2 DID
not the exactions Of the military sery-
ice sometimes make them cry in se-
eret?
The young soldiera answered that
they were quite happy in the army,
and that their only desire was To do
their duty toward their beloved SOW
erign.
A few days before the mikado while
travelling by rail, was cheered by a
number Of very old people at Shiralshi
station. He sent them all presents
through the local government. an act
Of kindness which moved the old peo-
pie to tears OF gratitude.
