Solemnlv and with junction, the deposed ruler
outlines his. arduous efforts at modern reforms
within his Kingdom. He refers to his labors by
dav and night and then, confessing failure af-
ter heroic efforts, he declares:
Therefore, we feel constrained be-
lieving it WISE TO entrust the great task
to other hands. In order that efficient
measures may be taken and satisfac-
tory result obtained, after serious con-
sderation, we have ceded all our SOW
ereignty rights to Japan's Emperor,
having implicit faith in him, and thus
insuring Far Eastern peace and our
peoples welfare"
Individually the Emperor felt constrained.
His own and his successor record held no action
proceeding from any other cause Before Japan
wrested control of the Kingdom from Russia, it
was Russia that pulled the strings behind pup
pet throne. Since then Korea has been ruled
from Japan as absolutely as it will now look to
Toxic for authority. Yet Japan blinks its eyes,

ART and Heart

IT always say to my young friends, says Adelina
Patti, "not you shake, you trill, you i'm
itate hooking rd?-but can you sing simple
ballad in honest, Straightforward fashion, such bal
lad, for instance, as Home Sweet Home?. That is
the real test
Patti knows And it is worth observing that what
she says of singing applies also to every other work
in life. Naturaness is the soul of art No two
things are closely akin than art and heart.
Architecture with all it grandeur, had it's begin
ming and will have its ending in the humble build
ing of the home.
The highest attainment in painting and sculpture
is the representation of the elemental emotions The
greatest picture in the world is of mother and her
baby.
In literature the greatest works are not of the
Eagles of genius farcircling flight but the sweet
cooling doves that nest under our caves.
The great songs are not the grand oratorios, but
the simple ballads that sing themselves.
The great music is not the complex compositions
which only few masters may interpret but the
soul whispered harmones which everyone must feeL
The fancy stunts are very well for practice for
development of skill and confidence; but they are
only means to end. The end is true interpreta-
tion of human feeling
The truest are lies in directness The great mes
sage is always simple one.
