JAPANESE STRATEGY.
Getting Rations into Korea Before In

Getting Rations into Korea Before In
Vadins That Country.
When the celebrated Japanese soldier
Hideyoshi was making preparations
for his invasion OF Korea he was an
preached one day by the veteran Asana
Nagamasa, who engaged him in the
following colloquy. 1t is recorded in
Walter Deming's New Life OF Toyo-
toni Hideyoshi:"
NaSamasa-What commissiariat ar
engagements had better be made?
HideyoShi-Well. you had better Get
ready 100000 koku OF rice.
N.-What is 10 be done with the rice
after ii Is ready;
H.-Use every transport that is TO be
had and send it over to Fusan.
Mater landing it. how are we TO
protect It?
H.-Don't protect it; let it fare as II
will
N.-If we do that the Koreans Will
capture it all.
H--Well. isn't that what we want?
N.-But IL we lose our provisions we
shall be in trouble.
HIT is case Of 100000 koku. Such
quantity Of rice is not TO be carried
OF In 4 hurry, nor can it be consumed
in 4 short time
N.-But the Koreans will carry it in
land.
H.-lf they do that, nothing could
suit US better. To get the enemy 10 do
your transport service for you for the
amount of rice that can be consumed
on the road is good enough. BY adopt.
ing this plan our troops Will always
ind provisions waiting for them as
they advance.
What Hideyoshi predicted actually
did take place. and rice that had been
carried of by the Koreans was repeat.

The reason why listening plays

aud the skill with which he expresses
the feelings bred OF what he hears.
LISTENING Is an art that Is not prop

moderit actors are trained. for while
voice culture has the place OF high
honor that II deserves IN the curricu-
lum of every academy on broadway.

against the track elevation being done
by the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne q Chi

the ffty-foot encroachment Of the rail-
road companies retaining walls virtu-
ally ruin 1t for boulevard purposes. A
writ Of mandamus requiring that the
walls be moved back was secured. 1t
is alleged that the Fort Wayne is go
ing right ahead with its work and
