FOND OF ATHLETICS
PRESIDENT HAS SET GOOD EXAM.
PIE FOR CABINET MEN.
His Fondness for Healthy and Manly
Sports Has Been Contagious
with Advisers-Wlson
Not a Sport.

Washington.-No the Least good
that Theodore Roosevelt, as president
Of the United States, has done his
countrymen has been to quicken by
precept and example their love and
appreciation of healthy, athletic and
manly sports AS a hunter, a horse
man, pedestrian, tennis player, a
boxer, an exponent of jiu jitsu-in
short, follower of every wholesome
the president has set an example
that has been contagious and that viii
bear good fruit for many day to
come
The eight serious and one jocund
gentlemen who stand at all times
ready, if not anxious, to lend their
counsel to the president regarding the
plotting of the ship of state are not
unlike him in respect to their fondness
for athletic recreation.
Secretary Straus, who has had con-
siderable experience in the service of
his country both at home and abroad,
and who is now at the head of the
many-sided department of commerce
and labor, is an ardent fisherman and
an enthusiastic pedestrian. He found
ample opportunity to crafty both his
fishing and walking propensities dur
ing the past summer.
The entire month of August was
spent in the Maine woods, in company
with William Loeb, Jr., secretary to
the president. There, in a little cabin
of logs, which Secretary Straus asserts
cost him the munifcent sum of $3.50,
far from civilization and close to the
heart of nature, where the deer came
curiously up to investigate the in
truders and the brook trout rose
greedily to the fly, happy party en-
joyed to the full the unconventional
delights of a genuine outing. The
camp can be reached only after a con
siderable tramp through the woods, at
that time in the full glory of their
richest foliage, so that on arrival at
the transformations but hospitable per
tails the newcomers were in fit mood
to appreciate the dainties spread be-
fore them, dainties typical of the re-
gion and the environment
The camp possesses every convent
ence that the simple life" requires.
and afforded ample accommodation
not only for Secretary Straus, Mrs.
Woodruff County news. [volume] (McCrory, Ark.) 1901-1910, 1908-12-31

Straus and their young son, but also
for Secretary Loeb and seve-.; other
guests.
The most striking feature IS the
central hall, with its stone chimney,
where on a wide open hearth spruce,
pine and maple logs blazed cheerily
and gave out needed warmth, especial
ly in the mornings and evenings, while
in Washington people were seeking
the parks and housetops to get refuge
from the humid heat.
Il feel that the head of this depart
ment ought to know something about
fishing" said Secretary Straus, almost
naively, las the bureau of fisheries is
under his jurisdiction, and in order to
learn about fishes you must love the
sport CT taking them"
One would have to go far to find a
more ardent sportsman and outdoor
athlete than the postmaster general of
the United States, George Won Len
gerke Meyer of Hamilton, Mass. With
him athletic exercise is little short of
a religion, and with his SO years sit
ting lightly on him he can outride and
outwork most younger men. What he
goes through during his vacation
would kill any man whose nerves were
not in perfect trim, whose muscles
were not like whip cords and whose
digestion was not capable of assimilat-
ing the heartiest viands.
But the postmaster general does not
try to crowd into brief vacation all
the exercise and opsn-air recreation of
an entire year. Every day he jumps
on his horse at seven o'clock in the
morning and takes a ride at a rafting
pace over country roads and cross
country in the bracing morning air.
He is, an accomplished and daring
horseman.
James Wilson, secretary of agricul-
ture, is no sport. When he wants recre-
alton he exchanges one kind of worl
for another, and even when at home
in the bosom of his family he is not
wont to indulge in cards or checkers
or chess or any other of the games
commonly resorted to for recreation
and amusement.
Victor Howard Metcalf, the recent
secretary of the navy, is as fond of
sport as when at Yale he led his boat
crew to victory, but he now finds
recreation in other ways. Fishing,
hunting and mountain climbing formed
his chief amusements during his yaca
ton last summer.

Ruu Industry Has Suffered.

Persia's rug industry has suffered
materially as a result of the closing
fthe bazars at Tabriz and other Per
sian cities. The difficulties of trans
portation on the highways of Persia
and the lessened American demand
for luxuries have contributed in no
small measure to the depressed con-
dition of the Persian rug trade. Prices
have fallen recently by one-third and
rug exports have fallen off by one.

only between five and ten cents a
