SECRETARY ROOT TELLS STORY
Retiring offeial illustrates Difficulties
OF His Position.

There ana days when the secretary
OF state finds his friends smuggling up
with a view Of taking care Of othe-
\ friends who are holding down berihs
I in the foreign service. The diplomat
ic and consular services are in a
. way under the aegis Of the civil sery-
+ ice. that IA. q mans record on other
missions helps him more than the help
Of powerful friends. But a word from
the retiring secretary Of state about
the efficiency Of a certain diplomat or
consul viii 20 a long way toward
smoothing his way through the Knox
administration
Mr. Root Is not an approachable or
genial man, but he has his moments
Of relaxation He is president OF the
Metropolitan club, and during the
Christmas recess he made several
visits to greet his old friends before his
Official status changed. He listened at
rentiyely 10 some ehums who talked
up this ambassador and put in a
word for a friend in the consular sery-
Ice. Then he said: Il will try TO re
member all this, and / will do the best
! can. Which reminds me of tale
which the late Lord Pauncefote told
with great gusto. Lord Pauncefote. as
all who were privileged to know him
viii recall, suffered greatly from rheu-
matte gout in his later days, and he
walked stiffiy and sometimes had to
use two canes. He went one after
noon to make a call, and he remained
quite a long time, so long that the
horses got restive and the groom
walked them up and down the street
When Lord Pauncefote left the house
the carriage was not in front, and
thinking there was some mistake in
his orders, he started to walk to the
embassy, which was only square or
two. But he had twinges of his old
enemy and the pavement was icy. He
was a large, heavily built man. and
he feared a fall While he was pom
dering over his dilemma, along came
a young man in working clothes, and
the British ambassador, after a cour-
teous salutation, asked: My friend,
will you walk beside me and help me
home? 1t is just a short ways, but |
am afraid Of falling. ! shall greatly
appreciate it. The young man
looked him over and said, thickly:
Old gent, l am pretty full myself,
but I'll do the best | can. the
very best l can That's my di-
lemma," ended Mr.. Root Il am
pretty full of promises already on file,
but I'll do the very best l can"
