The President has appointed Hon.
Elihu Root of New Y ork, Secretary of
State, the place made vacant by the
death of the lamented John Hay. Mr..
Root makes great personal sacrifices in
order to serve his friend, the President,
and his country. The President has
long regarded Mr.. Root as one of the
leading statesmen of this or any other

Side the country roads. Those riding in
private teams are now about frightened

source OF beauty should be left for their
solace and satisfaction. Besides the fact
that they cover unsightly rocks and
siumps, they retain moisture and fresh
ness that is restful to passers by. Unless
needed for cultivation, let the bushes
remain at the country roadside.

Everything that Millet did was full
of deep seriousness and sincerity. He
never was an easy painter, so that
his greatness as an artist Is perhaps
more clear In the black and white than
In the colored subjects. Certainly in
his erayon drawings, Autographs and
etChings he proved himself to be one
of that limited number OF artists who
may be reckoned master craftsmen.
Moreover, the character that he eX-
presses is of that grand and elemental
quality which some INES reminds us of
Michael Angelo.
Millet's influence produced a host of
painters of the peasant, among whom
the strongest are the FrenChman L'IIer-

like him, have represented their sub

These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed life of suffering or a serious
operation is the inevitable result
The never-failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg

Miss Kate Mcdonald, of Woodbridge,

twice before have western playcrS been
accorded this honor. Heston was Mr..
Camps selection for half back last year,
while Herschberger, of Chicago, made
the full back position in 1898 No one
had doubted that HeSton would be on the
team again this year. While the friends
of the Chicago quarter back had hoped
he would find favor in the eyes of Camp,
they had no assurance of his selection.
Still more surprising than Eckersall's
selection is the position he is chosen to
fill. He is put at end. Stevenson, the
little Pennsylvania wonder, is given the
call over the Chicagoan for the quarter
back place. Eckersall's splendid all
round abilities, however, gave him a
place on the team. On the second eleven
Curtis, of Michigan, is given a place and
on the third eleven are placed Rothgeb,
of Illinois, and Bender, of Nebraska.
The All-American in full is as follows:
End, Shevlin, Yale; tackle, Cooney,
Princeton; guard, Piekarski, Pennsyl-
vania; center, Upton, West Point;
guard, Kinney, Yale; tackle, Hogan,
Yale; end, Eckersall, Chicago; quarter,
Stevenson, Pennsylvania; half, Hurley,
Harvard; half, Heston, Michigan; full
back, Smith, Pennsylvania In speaking
of Eckersall and the reasons for his Sc
lection as an end, Mr.. Camp says: My
second end l have selected only after
choosing all the rest of the team, and
then carefully going over all the posi-
bilities of the field and endeavoring to
put myself in the position l should as
sumo were 1 the coach and obliged to
select from all the excellent array of
material man who would serve me the
best on the team when went into actual
play. This man Eckersall can punt 60
yards, drop kick with disconcerting &C
curacy, and in more than one game has
more than decided the issue by his drop
kicking. He is remarkable tackler, and
as for running in broken field, he is a
wonder" Heston is placed in class by
himself as half back. The critic points
out that he has great speed, cleverness,
ideal weight and strength, and is abso-
lutely unbreakable
