LIE in the open air is not only beneficial but
necessary to the human race, according to
IL the view of President Roosevelt, and he is
of the most consistent opponents in the
country of his theory There is kind of
sport pastime that takes people out of doors,
takes their minds from the cares of life, and
gives them good and healthful exercise, that the
President does not approve. AS he has said in
regard to men and affairs he plays favoriteS y
in any of the methods which have been devised to
popularize life in the open and encourage mankind
to take all the fresh air and spend much time
possible outside of brick and wooden walls. At the
same time Mr.. Roosevelt does not approve of men
who live only for sport and make the different vara-
tlons of all outdoor amusements business. He
considers who has other aim in life than
to find entertainment for himself, and who the
many provided for recreation for such an
end only as one who abuses the very name of sport
and outdoor pleasures.
President Roosevelt has made his outdoor recrea-
tons conform to his environments and the condi-
tions of life in which he has found himself at differ
ent periods of his He believes people should
make of such facilities are at hand for exercise
in the open air. Where they ride, we'll and good ;
If they cannot ride, play tennis row, enjoy any
OF the numerous outdoor sports and pastimes there
is always opportunity for good brisk walk.
And walking be made good fun and good exer-
else when undertaken in the right spirit and with
the avowed purpose of health and enjoyment.
AS young man Mr.. Roosevelt was fond of fol-
lowing the hounds and playing polo. There is no
greater pleasure than to be mounted on good
hunter and following we'll trained pack in full
cry he remarked when recalling the old days.
But he gave up hunting of this character also polo,
when he married; not that he had any personal
fear of injury but he felt that he owed his life and
limbs to his family. In both of these exciting out
door sports he has had his share of hard knocks and
tumbles.

Based on an ZntervzezV

recently carried him over hurdle five feet seven
inches high. When one realizes that this is the
height of medium sized man, it is apparent that
the horse is of which the possessor has reason
to be proud. Mr.. Roosevelt is no longer a light
weight, and the animal that lifts him five feet
seven inches above ground must be strong and
vigorous. Riding horses of that kind" replied
the President to a query as to whether horse
back riding would take mans mind from the en-
crossing affairs of life, will keep we'll occu-
pied He has no time to study the great problems
of railroad rates and the multitude of other mpor-
tant public affairs Of course when the President
is horseback riding with Secretary Root, Senator
Lodge, or some other man with whom he has close
affiliations they may at times talk of subjects which
are of vital interest and which occupy their minds
but for the most part Mr. Roosevelt does not believe
in mixing business affairs with outdoor excursions
When He Jumps Hurdles
THERE has recently been given to the public a
l. series of pictures of the President taken when
jumping the hurdles. They depict the rider and
horse in all the attitudes assumed while in the act
of jumping. These pictures show how keenly the
President enjoys the sport, and to the exercise
which it affords there be doubt. No torpid
liver for who rides horse which leaps five
foot fences and twenty-foot bitches!
Outdoor recreation with the least possible ex-
pense, or costing what a can afford" is Mr.
Roosevelt's idea. Before he became President and
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-06-30

while living in Washington he did a great deal of
walking. With Mrs. Roosevelt and the children
he went through the parks and woods near the city
Adapting himself to conditions, he sought and found
his outdoor exercise with his family. And there
is great deal of pleasure in outings of that kind"
he said. Il used to drag along little red wagon
which the children called the 'spress wagon and
we spent hours in the woods enjoying ourselves,
and filling lungs with fresh air
There is little sermon in that suggestion for the
whose exercise is taken, if at all, by himself or in
never enjoy the companonship of the husband and
father in his outings.
In those days Mr.. Roosevelt also took more vigor-
Gus exercise, walking and trotting" with friends
who went on long tramps simply for the enjoyment
OF it. There is nothing better than cross country
tramp, Mr.. Roosevelt asserts. 1t is full of life
and action, and with companions of similar tastes
there is little in the way of open air exercise more
enjoyable" At that time Baron Speck Won Stern
burg, now Ambassador, was an attache of the Ger
man Embassy, and he too fond of "cross
country trot. 1t then that the lasting friend
ship was formed with Leonard Wood, which eventu-
ated in Wood and Roosevelt going into the Spanish
War as Colonel and Lieutenant Colonel of the Rough
Riders. On different lines, in civil life and the
other in the army both have achieved rapid ad-
vancement in their respective careers. Both are
vigorous men with muscles as hard as nails. When
General Wood comes to Washington the President
takes him on long trarnps ground they travelled
when they were unknown to fame. The President
wants to know whether the companion of his earlier
days is keeping in condition.

Trying Out His Friends

TN walking the President likes to take difficult and
L unfrequented routes, where hill climbing is nee
essary. He does not stop at crossing streams, and
it is related that he led two companions across
the Chesapeake & Ohio canal where all had to swim
One of them had on his good clothes; but he was
game and the Presidents admiration On an
other occasion the President and his companion
climbed steep and rocky hill side which meant real
business. Reaching the top after much effort
and not without some slight damage the President
looked around and remarked that they would go
down again.
What did you come up here for?" asked his
companion
ITO see if we could do it," replied the President
That is his idea of making sport and contest out
of tramp in the country.
There some kinds of exercise enioyed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt which may not be regarded as sport
by many people For instance, the President likes
to chop trees and takes considerable pride in his
skill in that line There is better fun he de-
clares than haying The sweet odor of the new
mown hay, the bright sunshine, the stubble fields,
and the freshness in the air make hayng delicious
The work becomes especially interesting if there is
storm approaching and you are hurryng to get the
hay in the barn before the rain comes. That adds
the zest of contest and desire to accomplish results
which is always pleasure"
Rowing is another sport, exercise, which the
President likes and which is one of his principal
pastines while spending the at Oyster

sign OF the Three Balls.

The origin of the pawnbrokers' sign,
the three golden balls, is accounted for
by .admor, legend and fact. Some early
English wit said the chances were two
to one that the articles pledged would
never be redeemed. On the other hand,
they are ascrlbed to the good st. Mich
olas.
A nobleman, sc the story goes, sud-
denly becoming poor, found himself
unable to provide for the marriage Of
his three daughters. The news of his
sad plight came to the ears of the
sanity bishop, who Immediately came
to the rescue by. placing three bags Of
gold in the nobleman's window 1t nlgnt,
each bag containing a sufficient dowry
for one maiden. The three purses ac-
cordingry became the emblem of st.
Nicholas, and when the bankers Of
northern Italy took up the business Of
lending money they appropriated Il,
considering themselves good followers
OF the generous saint.
The fact, however, seems to be that
the three balls were taken from the
lower part of the coat of arms Of the
dukes Of Medlci. from whose dominions
the first money lenders eInigrated to
England. This explains why some OF
the ancient pawnbrokers used FIVE blue
balls. for the coat of arms in heraldic
language is described as five bezants
sure.

wooden water Mains.

Somewhat like returning to first prin-
.iples and methods which had apparent
ly been outgrown and discarded seems
the import of an article by Andrew
Swickard which recently appeared in the
California Journal of Technology, regard
ing the use of wooden pipes for convey
ing water. He says that the use of wood
en- pipes has been greatly extended in
recent years, a number Of long lines hav-
been built in the East, where it has
found favor with the engineers, and that
in America it is in use from Alaska to
Peru. Its employment is, of course, sub
ject to some limitations, especially where
It is necessary to withstand a very high
pressure. The pipe now used is not made
like that of long ago, from bored logs,
The modern wooden pipe being built from
fastened together with metal clips.
In favor of wood it is urged that the in
.erior of the pipe does not deteriorate as
where iron is used, and that it is from 30
0 so per cent cheaper than riveted steel.

NO HAGUE PLANS FIXED.
Peace Delegate VIII Their
own ProErn me. "


The general plan of the proceedings
at the second Hague peace conference
probably will follow closely h proce-
dure of the first Congress held in lS99.
The Dutch government, realizing that
the representatives of the forty-six
powers must be complete masters Oh
| the situation, has refrained from in
any way attempting to control or ar
range a program of procedure. 1t SIM
ply offers its hospitality. The same IS
true of Russia.
The first thing in order will be the
appointment of committees to consider
the various subjects inscribed upon
the Russian program. These will hard-
ly number more than five. Unles the
question of the reduction OF limitation
of ornaments is injected into the pro-
ceedings at the outset, in which event
the main struggle may be at once pre-
cipitated, the plenary body probably
will not meet again for ten days or a
fortnight in order that the committees
have an opportunity to prepare reports.
In general it is not expected that the
full conference will meet more than
once a week until the work of the com
mittees justifes more frequent ses-
sions.
Sessions of the conference and of the
committees will be secret, but it is
probable that a public statement of the
progress will be issued daily if posi-
BILE. The French language, as in 1899,
will be the official language Of the
conference, although the advent of the
South Americans and the growing in
fluence Of English may result in a
compromise whereby the protocols or
minutes will be inscribed in both
French and English.
The governments official entertain
ment of the delegates will not be Law
ish, but rather will be in the same good
taste as is it's attitude with reference
to the program. Nothing will be ar
ranged which will in any way inter-
fere with the work. of the conference.
The parliament has appropriated $4O,-
600, but this covers the expenses in
connection with the sittings of the
hall Of the Knights" where the con-
ference meets. In addition the gov
eminent will give an entertainment,
which probably will take the form of
a day trip or excursion to some inter-
esting historical spot. The municipal
fty will give a formal reception. Queen

Spreads Rain.
The steamer Shawmut, on arriving
at Victoria, II. c., brought news or a
disastrous loss of life following an
earthquake at usln kiang. A telegram
received from pekin by the Nlshl SHIN
bun at Tokyo shortly before the shaw
NUT sailed reported that 1000 persons
were crushed to death, a vast numDer
Of houses destroyed and many persons
left starving. The empress dowager
has te~legraphed urgent instructions to
the local governors to take measures
to relieve the distress. .N
Hsin Kiang or Sinkiang is a province
in western China, including eastern or
Chinese Turkestan. 1t is bOrdered on
the north by S%ungaria, on the east by
Mongolia, On the south by Tibet n
on the west by Russian Turkcstan. II
is an isolated and rather sparSely set
tied country, the most numerous of the
inhabitants being Kirghizes, Sarts,
Kalmucks, Usbegs and Talks. The seat
Of administration is at Urumchi.
The country is mountainous to q
large extent and, like western Turkes-
tan, is subject to earthquakes. Andi-
jan, which is in the Russian portion Of
Turkestan, was ruined by an earth
quake in 1902. The climate is severe
gagged principally in agriculture and
stock-raising and in the manufacture
Of silk and cotton.

odds and Ends.

Even the miser occasionally gives
himself away.
There are too many smiles thai are
only skin deep.
A cheerful smile often does more
good than a donation.
1t is better to have loved and lost
than to pay counsel fees and alimony.
A real old timer is fond Of telling
how hard he used to work, and what
small pay he got.
Tokio's trouble is earthquakes. In
her worst 100000 residents were killed.
