A TALE OF TWO BRAVE MEN.

Just when cartGonists are ioyfullv

ING the pockets of an emperor. and
while humanity is carelesslv hopinc
mat the indemnity demanded from
the defeated car will be so tremend
Gus as to humble the pride of Rus
Sla lof century, there comes a
thought for two brave men-Witte and
EoSen-braver. perhaps. than yo,
know.
Remember they love their corntrv
and its ruler better. perhaps than
YOU love Your flag The radical ir
sinct IS stronger in the Slav than in
the American. for in a monarchy the
government means everything.
And it for these two men to on
dure extreme humiliation for their
country's sake
Don you suppose that their hearts
bleed when they are face to face
with the proposition of submission?
OF course, there is courtesy and pol
ished words and ceremony at the
meetings of the peace commission.
But, wash away the paint of pre-.
cedent, rip Off the mask of diplomacy
and you will have left two m9n in the
hands of the relentless enemy, en-
during what to them must seerl the
acme of disgrace. These envoys of
the car may smile and look the part
of victors, they may pretend and bow
and pose, but
Down in their hearts they know
that great nation has been -ven dis
gracefully defeated by similar one:
that men Of white skin have been tom
and crushed and cornered by vel
low race.
Does it hurt?
Could you look in the breasts
of these Russians you would see pic

ARE BRAVE MEN AS brave us

A SUCCESSFUL FAILURE.

The remark recently made b.
Thomas C. Platt concerning his owl
life was a lifting of the curtain, fo
an instant. to show the real feeling,
OF man who has succeeded-and fail
ed.
Platt said, you will remember: IN,
life eonld have been made SO mucl
better, or at least different from wha
il has BEEN
$50 much better-or different.'
The phrasing is Characteristic
confession and then an adroit hedg
ing of his words, lest he might have
said too much.
But the real feeling of the man
is plain. He knows his life has not
| been what it ought to have been.
1t might have been better-or much
letter. Seventy-two years old and
sorry for his life!
Why, the man has gotten about
everything a man wants to get in this
life.
Health? He is seventy-two and
still able to successfully head a great
corporation.
Fame? He is senator of the Unit
ed States and maker of presidents
Power? For years he has been the
supreme boss of the Republican poli
tics Of New York state.
Are not these the things men strive
for in order to succeed?
But has it been worth while?--
worth while to himself and to tn,
world? With the clear after vision
Of old age Platt can see that his life
has simply been a successful failure
Because
"A mans life consisteth not in the
abundance of the things that ho
hath" Successful living, in the true
sense, is not in having, but in being
not in getting, but in giving. 1t lies
not in what a man has, but in what
he is and what he does.
Platt sees what might have been.
He might have had, instead Of mil
liens of dollars, wealth of mind
and soul: instead of fame as boss
that of benefactor: instead of power
in politics. the power to do good to
bis fellows: instead of the fawnne
of lieutenants, the esteem of friends:
instead Of hollow service, love.
Yes. his life could have becn mad
so much bctter"-if he had cared
for the real things instead of the in- |
And for the sake of the young mon
Of this country it is we'll that th'S /
cid man, successful after his kind +
should virtually confess his failure.
