PACITY to work.
The man who la responsible for the
plan of the Japanese campaign la Gen
eral Kodama. Karon Kodama ta like
Lord Roberta. He haa the alert figure,
the eoldlerly bearing and tb keen face
of the British general. The likeness la

But I am not yet a field marshal. '
laughed the general, pointing to the
three atari on the aleeve of hla tunic.
(Jen. Oentaro Kodama cornea of a
fighting race. He wa born half a cen
tury ago in the province of Choahu. one
of the four great dalnilatea or feudal
elani that have given an unbroken suc
cession of warriors and leader to Japan.
The Marquis Ito, most famous of mod
ern statesmen; Inoye. ablest of dlplo
matlata and administrators, Yomagata.
who created ft national army out of
bands of feudal retalnera theee and
many renowned rulera are from Cho-
Indeed, there Is only one other clan
with this heritage of power. If you are
not from Satsuma you muet be from
Cboshu. Hence the term "Sat-Clio," fa
miliar in politics to denote the combi
nation of these clans.
The province In which General Ko
dama was born played a foremost part
In the revolution that overthrew the
ahogun and reatored the authority of
the mikado. Hla clansmen were the
first to lay, aside armor and sword and
pear and to adopt the rifle, discipline
and tactics of Europe.
Baron Kodama was 16 years old when
Japan threw off her feudal chains. Hla
father died In his fifth year and left
him to the care of a son-in-law. who
seven years later waft the victim of po
litical assassin A At 13 Kodama was
struggling with poverty and family re
sponsibility. The revolution swept him Into the
forces arraigned agalnat feudalism, and
when only it he was fighting the dal
mlos and their two-sword ed retainers
who had ruled the land for eight cen
turies. In 1871 feudalism was dead; shogun
and dalmlos were driven Into private life
and the emperor waa rescued from en
forced seclusion at Kioto. But disaffec
tion assumed it- new form, and In 1874
the province of Hlsen, one of the four
that had combined against the shogun.
broke out In rebellion as a protest
against the Introduction of European
methods and ideas. Kodama was a cap
tain, having received hia company. 12
months before, and wa aent to. Saga
as adjutant of the Osaka division.
In 10 days the rebels were defeated,
yet they fought long enough to prove
the mettle Of the young captain. Shot
through both arms, he continued to lead
his men until the rout was complete.
On his return to the capital he was
promoted to the rank of major, and
was commanded to the palace fo receive
the thanks of the emperor.
When civil war once more ravaged the
land, three years later, his services were
again in demand. General Sal go, one of
the leaders of the revolution that re
atored the emperor to power, raised the
cry. "To Korea!"
Ministers were opposed to this policy
Of aggression, and Salgo, resigning hla
post in the cabinet retired to his na
tive province of Satsuma, where he won
many disciples among the students and
the samurai or warrior class, who had
lost all their privileges with the aboli
tion of feudalism.
General Salgo took the field and
marched upon the castle of Kumamoto,
which was held by 4,000 Imperial troops.
Colonel Kodama was one of the garri
son, which was besieged for 64 days and
suffered great privation.
Before the Investment began a fire
destroyed nearly all their supplies and
threatened the powder magazine, which
was under the walls of the burning
building. Colonel Kodama ordered his
men to remove the powder.
Seeing them shrink from the danger,
he climbed upon the roof of the maga
sine and bad them open the doors. En
couraged by this example of reckless
daring, the soldiers obeyed and removed
the powder while their leader stood on
the roof until the walls of the barracks
tottered and fell in flaming ruin.
As soon as the siege was raised.
Kodama fought several successful en
gagements. In 188 he was gaaatted
major-general, and In the following
year was sent to Europe to study the
military systems of the west. During
the war with China he heTd the re
sponsible post of vice-minister for war,
and afterwards became chief of that de
partment. At the same time he was governor
general of Formosa, a position which he
retains. In 1903 he accepted, the port
folio of home secretary, having been al
ready raised to the peerage In 1881, with
the rank of lieutenant-general.
When Baron Kodama entered politics,
the popular cry waa for bold admini
stration, and the hopes of reformers
centered In the soldier statesman, to
whom they had given the name "Mini
ster of the Axe," because of his declara
tion that In politics, as in battle, a sharp
u Is better than a blunt knife.
The encroachments of Russia In Man
churia und Korea turned the soldiers
energies Into their true channel, and in
October of last year, when Mnjor-Oen-eral
Tamura died Kodama quitted the
cabinet to take over the duties of as
sistant chief of the headquarters staff,
a post to which he" was miied not only
by the people but by his oonradea in
arms.
To the responalblllties and difficulties
of this gnat poaltion Baron Kodama
has brought th wisdom, the judgment.
the unswerving rectitude, and the Inex
haustible perseverance thst have dis
tinguished him throughout hla career.
He Is a man of strong character, and
possesses in no small degree the Inde
finable quality known as personal mag
netism. Night snd day he sits it his desk at
tending to the multitudinous details of
great war; yet hla door ia never eloaed
upon a friend, or even a atrnnger who
has the least claim to his attention
During the Chineae wr he Buffered
In health from the continuous strain of
work, and has since sdopted a severe
ssvUae in food and drink, with the re
sult thst at fifty he Is s young man,
brimful of energy and high spirits.
He takes a lively Interest In educa
tion; has been a director of the military
academy; founded the Formosa college
in Toklo, and gave his books and his
money to eatabllsh a, library for poor
studente In his native town
Baron Kodama is certainly a man
who Inspires confidence. Whatever de
fect the campaign may develop, they
will not he traceable to want of daring
and foresight on hla part, one fault
only have I to find with HI Excellency
he does not speak English. But. as h

for. In public, as In private life, he ia
altogether unselfish. Though he haa
held the portfolioa of minister for war,
first lord of the admiralty and minister
of education, he haa no political ambi
tion to aerve, and has never attempted
to form a party.
The sincerity of his purpose snd the
transpsrent honesty of his actions have
given him an Influence In the army sec
ond only to that which was exercised
by Yumagnta. He has never shone in the
field, yet hi experiences haa been great.

sent to the Franco-German war as at

Europe to Investigate the military sys
tems of th west, waa rewarded with

the army, and was appointed chief of the
Kaff. ,
General Terauchl. the minister for
war, belongs to the new achool. ma
business capacity and knowledge of de
partmental work cannot fall to be of
the utmost service. In the China war
he took charge of the transport and sup
ply, and managed It with the skill and
economy that are characteristic of every
branch of the Japanese army.

IN ANOTHER.
When the lata William C. -Whitney
was secretary of the navy in Mr. Cleve
land's cabinet he gained the good will
of all the employe of the department
because of the candor and kindness with
which he treated them. One morning
he sent for th head of a certain bureau
and told him to make the appointment
of a man from New York City. Latex
in the day the chief of the bureau re
turned and said:
"Mr. Whitney. I want to ask you a
question. If you will be kind enough to
reply to it."
"Certainly." said the secretary. In his
most affable manner; "what 1ft It?"
"I want to know If I -am not supreme
In my bureau?"
"You are," said the secretary, with
Just the suspicion of a smile lurking
in the corners of his mouth.
"Then I have control of th appoint
ment in my division; that Is to say, I
do not have to make an appointment un
less I feel so disposed?"
"That Is the situation, precisely," said
the secretary, the smile now becoming
quite pronounced.
"Well, Mr. Secretary," said th sub
ordinate, coming to the point at last, "I
don't think I care to make that appointment'
Just a you ay." aald Mr. Whitney,
the smile now becoming a genuine laugh.
By the by. he added, "I Juat said you
were supreme. I ahould qualify that a
bit. The president has the power to re
move you and to appoint your successor.
You know that?"
"Oh. yes." was the confident reply; "I
know that."
"All right, then." said Mr. Whitney,
I'll let the president know that you
don't see your way clear to make this
appointment."
'Oh, does the president want It? came
the startled query.
Yes."
"Ah hem might I ask you as a
friend What you would advise me to do
under the circumstances"" ,
"Well," said the eeeretary, who en-
Joyed the humor of the situation im
mensely, "that depends on whether you
prefer public to private employment for
yourself."
Why, public employment.
"Then." said the secretary gravely,
"my advice would be that you make th
appointment."
And it was made very quickly.

Rochester Letter In New York Sun.
Thomaa Taggart, chairman of th
Democratic national committee, ued
to be a great practical Joker, and many
are the stories told In Indiana of th
trick that he played on hi friend.
He haa unusual akill aa a lelght-of-
hand performer. Formerly he waa con
atantly ualng thla gift In playing prac
tical Joke on hla frlenda. He doen't
do ao much of it now, but there are
many men in varioua part f th coun
try who will testify to hi cleverness
In thl line.
Taggart' particular crony used to be
State Treasurer King, who lived In In
dianapolis. A Joke that they put up on
a friend of King Is said to have taken
them three months to hatch.
King had a friend, Arthur Johnston,
ho represented the McCormlck
Harvester company of Chicago. John
ston owned a watch of very Ingenious
construction, which waa valued at $800
and of which he was very proud.
King and Taggart decided to play
trick with th watch th next time
Johnaten came to town. They went
to a Jeweler and got a watch that In
outward appearance resembled John
ston's. There wa nothing .to thla
watch except the case, and the inside
wa filled with a lot of unrelated
spring and wheel.
Soon after Johnston arrived at Tag
gart's hotel. King started to talk about
watches. Then Johnston made a re
mark about his own watch.
"Yea," aald King to Taggart. "John
ston haa the flneat watch you ever saw;
you would be Interested to look at It."
At thia Johnston pulled out his watch
and handed it to Taggart to examine.
Taggart looked at it car fully, held It
up to hi ear and finally aald:
"Yea, It 1 a beauty. It I certainly
the flneat watch I ever raw."
Then he held it up for further ex
amination and all of a sudden dropped
It on the marble floor.
Johnston and Taggart both Jumped
for It with a cry of alarm, but It was too
late. The watch waa smashed Into a
hundred pieces. The floor for an area
of three or four feet waa covered with
springs and wheels and other parte of
the watch. .he way Taggart sympa
thized with Johnston was amusing to
those who were In on the Joke.
"Well, that's' too bad. Isn't at?" said
Taggart. 1 suppose that watch must
have coat you $70 or $100?"
Johnston went up In the air.
"A hundred dollar!" he gasped.
"Why. man, that coat me $800."
'That' too bad, too bad," Taggart
kept repeating. "I wonder If wo can't
get It fixed at the Jeweler's across the
street "
Such talk as this increased Johnston's
fury.
"Fix that watch an In Indianapolis
Jewelry store!" cried he, "Why, that
watch was mad for me In Switzerland.
There isn't a watchmaker In th United
State that could make that watch."
Taggart continued to auggest fixing
the watch, and Johnston wss growing
wilder every minute In trying to Im
press on Taggart the value of the watch
and the damage that had been done. But
Taggart kept on in an Innocent, bland
way, telling what a good Jeweler the
man across the street really was.
He got a plate and began to pick up
the pieces, while Johnston stormed
around. Finally all of the pieces were
gathered up and Taggart started for
the door, aa If to go across the street.
Then he stopped as If struck with a new
thought, and began to put the wheela
and springs back Into the case him
self. "There," said" Taggart, as he complet
ed the Job and surveyed It with appar
ent pride; "that wasn't as bad an acci
dent as it seemed at first, wa it?"
At thl he handed back to Johnston
his $800 watch, which he had been con
cealing In his clothes and shifted the
dummy watch out of sight again.
'That watch seems to be all right
after all, doesn't It?" he asked in the
same Innocent way.'
Johnston took up his watch In a
dazed manner and began to examine it
It wa fully half a minute before he
tumbled to what had happened.
l ust, he loeked the timepiece all over,
held It to hi ear to assure himself
that It wa all right, and opened the cas
to find that It had not been hurt. Then
It dawned on him suddenly that he had
been th victim of one of Tom Taggart's
Jokes. Johnston bought wine for tire
party.
Her Is another story of Taggart's
cleverness as a slelght-of-hand man. One
day a traveling man, a particular friend
of hi, went to th desk pf th hotel to
register. After he had written hi name,
Taggart came up and shook hands with
him, remarking:
"I'm sorry, but I don t see how we
can keep you on the European plan here.
Thl hotel 1 run on the American plan.
you know."
Thla waa aald In such aerlousnes that
the man never thought of a Jok.
"Why, I want to tay on the Amer
ican plan." said the traveler In surprise.
"No. you don t. repneo Taggart.
"You want to stsy on the European plan
and we can't keep you.'
"What do you mean?" ejaculated the
traveler. Inclined to be angry. "1 tell
vou I want to atny on the American
plan, a I alway have."
"Oh. well. If you Insist." said Tag
aart. "I suppose you know what you
want, but I Imagined you intended Only
to get a room here and do your own
cooking. Judging by the provisions you
brouaht along."
At this Tsggart reached In the man's
coat pocket and pulled out a string of
hoioana sausngea. Then ne readied in
another pocket and brought out half a
peck of potatoes. Then he pulled out a
big porterhouse tk from the man'
collar.
All thla time the man looked at Tag
gart In aetoniahment. until he grasped
the Joke and began to smile, Taggart
never cracked ft emlle. but called a bell
boy and told him to take the thing to
the kitchen, remarking to the man in a
quizzical, suave manner:
1 beg your pardon for my mistake
I certainly thought you Intended to do
vour own choking when you brought all
those provlalaons along."
