WINTHROP HAZED BY
PRESIDENT ON TRAMP
Treasury oheials Taken Over Hill and
Dale in DownpOur for Ten Miles;
Qualities for the Inner
Circle.

Washington, Nov. s.--Assistant Sec.
rotary Beckman Winthrop Of the treas
ury department, who Is one Of the best
players in the tennis cabinet has been
initiated into the group Of President
Roosevelts fayorites. Prom time to time
he has played tennis on the court back
Of the White House Office, and now he
has been taken into the inner circle OF
the presidents official family.
It was rainy day in Washington,
and this was probably why the presi.
dent chose it for the hazing Of Mr.. Win.
throp. The president would rather take
a walk in downpour than in the sun
shine.
Leaving the White House at o'clock
in carriage the president and Winthrop
were driven briskly 10 the outskirts.
Winthrop took neither raincoat nor nm
brella, and both were wet to the skin
before the walk began.
Plunqng of into the woods OF Rock
creek park, the president led Mr.. Win
throp on such walk as only the presi.
dent knows how to take. Up wild path.
ways, sliding down wet hillsides holding
on by branches, and across country for
10 miles the excursion continued until
Mr. Winthrop was gasping for breath,
and with raindrops dripping from his
neatly trimmed Van Dyke, was ready
to drop.
Then, by way OF fitting finish to the
contest, the president led the way to
Rockereek aud plunged over the bank
into the stream waist deep, crossing 70
the other side. Here Mr. Winthrop hest
tated, but with last remaining atom
of strength and courage he followed his
chief and gained the other side, where
the president, laughing. sent him home
for dry clothes and a rest.

all rumors is now evident from several
reeoyeries here.

tells US Of two interesting cases One
was swollen with dropsy due to adj
vaneed Bright's Disease, and both the
patient and his physician had given
up hope, Otis kept urging trial Of
the new treatment until the patient
finally consented Recovery was com
plete, the patient leaving a few months
later for California, where he now re.
sides.
Another case was that OF an officer
on one of the island steamers. He was
in hospital and considered hopeless
when put on the treatment. He has
now been back at his post for some
time
Otis says there are very few failures.
but that it requires patience.--Iionolulu

this artful plotter, he would just open
