say of Governor Otero that the eff

City Engineer Lucius Dills, who is
an old newspaper man, of 1re-eating
tendencies, has at last come to the
conclusion that President Roosevelt
was just as sincere in his ~utterances
while On his Southern trip as he was
IN the act OF inviting Booker T. Wash
ington to dine with him at the White
House. He sizes Mr.. Roosevelt up
as an impulsive man of the best in

on the color Of his surroundings and
honestly means What he says until
another Impulse strikes him.

Muscle nuildinE Does Not NecessarA..
Improve the Health.
Athletics may be good or evil and in
the same manner as two edged

The prime object in athletics is i'm.
provement Of the general health. One
writer has said that health, like hap.
piness. does not exist. lie said the
body consists Of number Of mechan.
Isms which have the closest and most
exact relations. and as they approx.
mate to harmony there is health, b,,t
when disordered there Is III health.
To obtain good health muscle build.
Ing Is not necessity One cannot
Judge OF the persons health by the size
and hardness Of the muscles. The con.
verse may be true.
10 obtain health one must not DO In
perfectly trained condition owing to
the effects of severe training on the
nervous system.
There il no evidence TO prove that
athletics and muscle building improve
the constitution.
One should always keep in mind the
fact that built up or hypertrophied
muscle has tendency to degenerate.
The heart being muscular organ,
shares In this tendency.
In regard to the moral side Of the
question, II remains to be proved that
athletics per Sc corrupt the morals.
DIR. Il. II. Sturgis is confident that ath-
letics improve the morals OF commu.
nifty.
Although the evidence for and
against athletics Is contradictory, tho
whole subject may be summed up by
stating that athletics are beneficial
when properly and judiciously applied
and very injurious when the prccau-
lions above mentioned are ignored or
carelessly regarded Medical Record.

So far as Mrs. 1.cnhoH's telling II Il

cepted the invitation To enter the pho

prize Of the world and no one was Sc
surprised AS the young woman herself
when she carried off first prize as the
most beautiful woman Of her race. One
of the priced relics Of that period Is the
picture Of herself that won the prize.
She has constantly refused 70 let 1t be
published.

is her excuse "And then see 80 many

now"
II is only after repeated efforts that
the visitor will be allowed even to gaze
upon the picture.

many marks on this beautiful woman.
but has not entirely obliterated the
graceful lines Of her youth. Yet. Of
all women. Mrs. LenhoH bns the least
to say in praise of beauty.

she snys. III she can be happy. Better
that she have not so many to praise
her If she can find one honest word

Today she lives in little cottage al

He fought through the Boer war. he

there and would come home soon, but
the promise is not much relied on.
The cares and worries Of those lonely
years have left Mrs. Lenhoff a broken

mother implores her to rest her mind

have afflicted her.

Fatal Applause.

An English lady snake charmer

village called Vaelhlinger. In Rhenish

round her neck and brenst. Her cour-

warrant. Such. however, proved to be
