II one asks who Kodama Is there
are two answers; one, that he Is the

besides, poor unlettered man, who,
at 81 years of ase, rules Japan and
guides her armies.

ent, says, in port Arthur" that this
man thinks while others sleep, and
works while others eat. He is the
power behind the throne, the adviser
at the generals ear
Many public men in Japan believe
Kodama to be an unsafe person OF
second-rate capacity. He had been
sent to Formosa, to get rid of him"
There he raised the place from ssv.
agery to a commercial prosperity. He
could have been prime minister.
NO." he said. Il would rather pull
strings than be one of the strings to
be pulled. Russia is peeping up over
the border. Let us prepare. Give
me desk in the war Office"
So the critics were glad to get the
upstart out of the way. But when the
war came one man had his finger on
things, and knew when and where to
strike. He knew the points in the
Korean coast where an army could
be landed. He knew how soon it
could be transported there; where all
the merchant steamers were, and how
long it would take to turn them into
transports; and he had the audaclty
of genius.
He was not a very presentable man.
He had never Travelled, and spoke
nothing but japanese. He would
laugh like a hoy at what he liked,
and frown over lat displeased him.
And he scorned frock coat and stuck
to a kimono. But the emperor and
the wisest heads about him knew
what Kodama was. and although they
could not, for pride's sake, give him
the command of the army, they
crowned him with power.

A loving heart and an obcdicnt life

a man loves God, he has the spirit Of

spirit of service manifests itself in the

People have scarcely made up their
minds as to whether Ebert Hubbard
is philosopher or fakir. Certainly
, he is seldom a fool
But
Elbertus makes some bad lapses.
Having no religion of his own to
speak of, Hubbard delights himself
in poking at other peoples religion.
That is a mistake.
The man who jabs at things SO sa-
cred as mans religion lays himself
liable. To put it on critical grounds
alone, the destructive critic is always
in danger. No shrewd dialectican
ever will champion a negative. And
when you say another mans religion
is false or a sham you are up against
it to prove that yours is a better one
Of late Mr. Hubbard has been goirg
after the enthusiastically Mr..
Chapman and BILLY" Sunday. whom
he charges with being in the business
for revenue only.
Which, of course, invites attention
to Mr.. Hubbard's own style of graft.
Now
in religious work, must he strive or
go naked? It might easily be shown
that the two revivalsists mentioned
are able to make more money at other
business. And what they earu they
are entitled to.
But
The main thing is this Some Of
the.r methods aside, methods that dc
an immense amount of good. Last
winter Mr.. Chapman cleaned up Den.
YER morally as it was never cleaned
before. And "Billy" Sunday has liter
ally transformed the atmosphere Of
scores Of towns.
Can Mr. Hubbard point to any such
accomplishments?
These revivalists attack the citadel
Of good citizenship-men's hearts.
They fight evil in low and high places
They develop civic righteousness.
The fact is. the East Aurora philoso-
pher (no fakir) should infusc more
sweetness and light into this philoso-
ply.
He needs a wider vision of the
need for helpfulness.
And more charity in his heart.

dangerous spots," and that. though he
seems never again to have written

he described the blunders of the COM
manders which ended in the Balak-

an admirable popular style, could not
be printed, but it spread over Russia
in thousands of copies, and was wide
ly sung, both during and immediately
after the campaign. The name of the
author leaked out. but there was some

THE ELIXIR OF LIFE,

The ancient belief in an elixir ofslife
is not abandoned. A Chicago profess
sor is arguing gravely that it is not
impossible for modern men to live as
long as did Methuselah.
All that is required is to discover
what the different tissues of the body
need for food and to give each tissue
the exact amount that is wanted
This scientist believes, as the old
alchemists did, that man, having eaten
of the fruit CT the tree of knowledge,
may be able to put forth his hand and
eat of the tree of life, in spite of the
flaming word meant to keep man
away from it.
s'Our eating is entirely empirical"
says the learned scientist. That is his
way of stating the fact that we eat
whatever we please whenever we get
it,
We eat to appease cur hunger and
please our palates. and know and
care less about the tissues and their
needs than of any other earthly sub
ject.
Men eat unscientificallv and will
continue to do so in spite of any
scheme of dietetics. If we fed our
selves as nationally as we feed our
horses, or even our dogs, we would un-
doubtedly have longer life and better
health.
Blu: human i;fe is more lhan merely
physical. We have life separate
from that of animals. The spirit has
much to do in max 'ng mans life long
and more in making it sweet.
There are men and women young at
oG and others old at so. The physical
health may not be better in the one
class than in the other But the diff
ference. lies in the mental ind tenn
peramental makeup.
The man at 90 has viewed the world
sanely. has fitted himeslf into his en-.
vironment, has had worthy purposes
and carried them out without unnec
sary friction.
The truest elixir of life consists in
a wholesome spirit. Every man must
| be his own alchemist.

"FoRGET IT."

It is as important to forget as to re-
member. One is as difficult as the
other. And ability along one line is
as hard to acquire as the other. Both
must me cultivated.
1t is impossible to become an optim-
list without learning how to forget.
Disagreebale things are bound to hap

wipe them off the mind as the boy
wipes the figures from his slate. Hav-
ing erased the ugly memories, 1t is
easier to write the Pheasant things on
the slate of the memory, says an ex-
change.
The Indian, for instance, never for
gets a slight or an injury. He will
wait lifetime to get even.
Don't be an Indian.
Life is too short to be an Indian.
The man who considers himself a
Nemesis, who treasures up a wrong.
who nurses an injury, who lets ignoble
hatreds tester in his heart. can not be

crouched tiger ready to spring upon
the victim of his wrath.
Learn how to forget it.
II it is easier FOR you to put on rec
ord in your memory personal griev-
ances and to hug an ugly feeling it
is because you have chosen to do so.
If you hoard up in your mind the un-
happy episodes of life it is because
YOU have formed the habit of doing so.
To persist in that habit of mind viii!
make you miserable and a confirmed
crouch. There is nothing noble in
such a disposition to remember.
Learn to forget!
Let go the uninspiring, the depress-
ing and weakening grievance. Hold
on to the memories that cheer and

Wipe out the resentments. Write in
the place of your hatreds the things
