THE SWISS FlGUREHEAO.
President RuGy Has but Small Power II
the Little Republic.

the Little Republic.
Eugene Ruffy, the new president of
Switzerland, is native of the French can
ton of Lausanne. He is lawyer by pro-
fession, and for many years has been con-
sidered the head of the Left or Radical
party. Last year he was elected vice chair
man of the federal council, the second
highest Office in the little mountain repub-
lie, and this year, in accordance with the
usual custom, he becomes chairman Of
that body, post which comes as near to
that filed by our chief executive as any in
the Swiss government
1t should be understood however that
the president of Switzerland is really q
very unimportant official The functions
of the office are few and the honor con-
nected with it small. Practically he is on
ly the chairman of the bundesrath, fed
eral council corresponding in measure to
our cabinet. BY courtesy he is called pres
idcnt Of the republic. He has no rank,
either civil or military, has no power of
veto and cannot even so much as pardon a
criminal He is not bothered by Office seek
ers, because he has no offices to distribute.
Although merely flgurehead he is hard
worked official, for besides acting as chair
man of the federal council he Is ex offioio
the minister Of state and the minister Of
foreign affairs.
The members Of tho federal council are
chosen by the national council and are al
ways members Of the upper branch of
that body. This branch is known as the
stainderath, and is something similar to
our senate, while the lower branch Is called

Genius Of the Colorado Mountains.
Colorado has produced unique and
picturesque genius In the way Of cowboy
artist who Is known ms Tlmberline. He
recently appeared In Denver with some
remarkably good water colors, and was at
once made the lion of the studios and art
students. His artistic ability is wholly
natural, for no has never had an hours

Timberline's real name is @. @. KEEP

bis parents still live. But 10 years ago,
at the age Of 12, he left home and has
since lived among tho peaks of the Colo
rado mountains, haunting the attitudes
where the timber leaves off and the snow
and rocks Begin hence his nickname
He has become an expert with horses, and
for years has made business of training
and breaking them. He is handy man
with his gun, has exhibited his bravery
on more than one occasion, and at present
is marshal of a camp called Dillon, not far
from Breckenridge
In appearance ho Is decidedly pictur-
esque, for he stands feet 4 u inches in
his stocking feet and wears tho dress Of
the typical mountain cowboy. Timberline
must have inherited the soul Of an artist,
for, with no better materials than shin
gle and u sharpened piece of lead ore, he
tried to depict some of the rugged beau
ties Of the canyons and mountain peaks
and with such success that his rough com.

"OON'T WORRY"'CIRCLES.
A New Movement Which Mixes PhiIosO
ply and Religion Most Comfortably.

A unique movement which was started
only few weeks ago in a New York
church, is already attracting considerable
attention. The Don't Worry" movement
1t has been oddly named by its originator,
Mr.. Theodore +. Seward, and its aim
seems to be to mingle cheerful philoso-
ply with religion in order that the mental
tension of modern life may be relieved.
The first Don't Worry" circle was
formed at a meeting held in a private
house on Nov. 3, and since then the move
ment has spread with surprising rapidity
There are now four" Don t Worry" circles
in New York and others are soon to be
formed in several adjacent cities. The
movement Is the outcome of a little book
written by Mr. Seward, tho title of which
is, Don't Worry; or, Spiritual Emancipa-
