Worlds Work: James H. Hyde,
the storm center Of the Equitable
fight, is reputed to have the most
splendid stables in America. There is
a special room devoted to the harness,
spotless and shining as table silver.
In a case are curb, bits, bells, stirrups
and whips. There are carved wooden
cases, containing a veritable museum
of stirrups, postillion whips and hunt
ing horns, and a great hall containing
not less than % carriages. The sta
bles are ruled over by Francois Gull
Vanderbilt for ten years. A lady visi-
tor to the stable admired one of the
horses extravagantly, and Guillot
turned to her and said simply and
earnestly: You will only have to tell
Mr.. Hyde the horse pleases you; / am
quite sure he will give it to YOU" Mr..
Hyde has an Office in the stable, a
room full of telephones and electric
bells, furnished with fine carpets, old
mahogany furniture, sporting photo
graphs and prints, coaching trophies
and hunting horns. Next to his office
is the kitchen, which permits him and
his guests to come when the whim
seizes them and have supper in the
stables more freely and gaily than in
the chateau. remember a very fes-
tive supper that we had there with the
thermometer outside Is above zero,
where ladies donned old postillion hats
or bull-fighter bonnets and blew hunt
ing horns, while everybody danced the
cakewalk.
Philadelphia Ledger: The Japanese
are to be credited with the discovery
that mind reading is essential to sue
cessful war. 1t appears that the fall
Of Mukden was due to psychology,
Field Marshall Oyama having made a
careful study of the mental opera
tions of Kuropatkin. Before, during
and after the battle of Lao Yang the
Japanese commander had for his chief
purpose to convince the Russian gen.
eral that the Japanese could fight
only in the woods and on the hills; so
Kuropatkin assumed that no serious
movement would take place on the
plains. Then, of course, Oyama did
fight on the plains, after making a
display further to mislead the Rus
slams. 1t is not surprising that Eng
lish military men should say that the
japanese combat commands almost
despairing admiration" and that it
reveals combined intelligence and ply
sical endurance beyond all parallel.
Oyama's stupendous conception in
volved the advance of 100000 men
over a front of nearly one hundred
miles, and required that the move
