SECRETARY ROOT TELLS STORY.
netiring Official illustrates Difficulties
of His Position.

There are days when the secretary
of state finds his friends smuggling uE

friends who are holding down berths

missions helps him more than the help
of powerful friends. But word from
the retiring secretary of state abOnt
the efficiency of certain diplomat or
consul will go long way toward
smoothing his way through the .Anox
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.
tentively to some chums who talked
up this ambassador and put in q
word for friend in the consular serv4
ice. Then he said: II will try to re-
member all this. and l 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
will recall, suffered greatly from rheu-
matte govt in his later days, and he
walked stiffly and sometimes had to

noon to make call, and he remained
quite long time, SO long that the
horses got FESTIVE 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 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 ]

appreciate it, The young man
looked him over and said, thickly:

The enterprise. [volume] (Harlem, Mont.) 1899-1926, 1909-11-10

Almost 100000 was subscribed at a
public meeting at Washington toward
the erection in that city of a great
auditorium building, one of the objects
of which is to accommodate the nu-
merous conventions of a national and
international character which meet
annually in the national capital. Sec
rotary of State Root, Assistant Sec
rotary Bacon and other public men
participated.
Fifty well-known business men have
signed articles of incorporation for
the proposed building, under the title
of the National Auditorium Company
of Washington. The site is in Seven.
teenth Street Northwest, between the
Corcoran Art gallery and the Hall of
the Daughters of the American Revo.
luton. Among the subscribers are
Thomas F. Walsh and Levi P. Morton,
each contributing $4,000.
In urging the great necessity for
such an auditorium Secretary Root
declared that it is "undignified and
most injurious to the city that the
present condition of affairs should
continue" This city, he pointed out,
was without an adequate building for
holding important conventions, the in
augural ball, ETC., and the recent inter-
national tuberculosis congress had to
be housed in an unfinished building.

Schools to Teach the Use of Mails.

How to use the United States mails
and those of other countries will soon
be included in the education course in
the public schools of Newark.
Postmaster James L. Hays has been
advocating this for some time and
the committee of the board of educa-
ton which has charge of the course
of study has decided to advise its
adoption by the board.
Mr.. Hays says that the school chill
dren, even in the higher grades, know
little or nothing about the mails.
AS rule they could not even prop
erly address letter, emitting some
essential like the state or the city
or the street.
How to obtain a money order or
register letter was more of mys-
terry to boys and girls of IA or Is than
to foreign-born residents.
OF the thousands of letters sent to
the dead letter Office annually from
New York city. large portion were
mailed by school children.

Sportsmen's Show for vienna,

The first international sportsmen's
show, which was to have been held
at Vienna in 1908, and was postponed
because of the jubilee celebration,
will take place in that city in 1910.
Every country, according to the pros
pectus which has jlst been published,
has already secured space, "and from
the interest which has been shown,
not only by the people directly con-
cerned. but by the public generally, it
may be assumed that the show will

THE SIMPLE LIFE LEFT BEHIND.
Mankind Has Created Complications
Hard to Do Away With.

1t is easy to talk about the simple
life and so hard to live it, for life is
not simple any more. Its complica-
tons seem unavoidable.
The trouble lies in ourselves; the
entire trend of womanly sentiment is
away from the things the centuries
held dear.
It was not so hard to keep life sim
pie when ones best black silk did
duty for decade. Nowadays if the
silk didn't cut into ribbons the cut
Of the garment would mean the patch
box in at least two seasons.
1t is the craze for something new
that is the undoing of simplicity.
Novelty is the keynote of most of our
lives. Even friendships and matri-
mony are getting infected with this
microbe of restlessness.
A mother said not long ago: Baby
Louise is so finnicky she will only
play with her toys two or three times
before she is tired of them and l have
70 send them off to the hospital.
And the mother seemed to think
that it showed progressive spirit in
her child. Such a craving for novelty
can mean nothing but unhappiness, no
matter what ones ability to crafty
It.
If we are ever to become simple
again without some dire calamity fore
ing it upon our country, we must
change our views of much that we
now think progressive.
We will have to learn to draw
sharp distinction between our necessi-
ties and our frills. A woman who is
noted for her restfulness and her
placidity in the midst of hard life
was asked how she managed to keep
unfretted.
II try to keep my life simple. Long
ago l learned that what women pos
sess beyond the real necessities soon
grows to be WEAKNESS to the nerves.
The more Of the unessentials we &C.
quire the more we want. Our most
coveted treasure soon grows insig-
nificant in the thought of something
still to be achieved. I make my rule
of life less change and more repose."
That is good rule for any harassed
mother or business woman who has
come to think life too much for her,

When Cold Breathe Deeply.

A simple way to get warm after ex-
posure to cold is to take long breath
with the mouth firmly shut. Repeat
this several times until you begin to
feel the heat returning. 1t requires a
very short time to do this. The long
breath, according to the Family Doc
tor, quickens the pulse and thus causes
the blood to circulate faster. The
blood flows into all parts of the veins
and arteries and gives out great deal
of heat. 1t is stated that this method
of deep breathing prevents colds and
a great many other ailments If begun
in time.

A P.ri.ian Character.

The revolutionary Libertad has died
In n Paris hospital from kick which
he had received during recent
stormy meeting. Libertad was one
of the most curious figures In contem-
porary Paris. He wore no hat, but
long tangled hair and a long beard.
Over his scarlet shirt he wore black
blouse, and he was never seen with
out crutch and an enormous cane.
His language was terrific. and he
rarely attended any public meeting
without calling for blood. The man
was complete mystery. His most
intimate disciples knew nothing OF his
history. On his deathbed he begged
his friends not to arrange n funeral
for him, as he had left his body by
will to the Paris School Of Medicine.

by long series Of ingenious processes,

succeeded in isolatihg the pure metal,
the properties of which he reports to

A POLITE BURGLAR.
His Genial Interview With One Of
His Paris Victims.

HIS GENIAL interview win One OF
His Paris Victims.
Nine years age the house of NJ. Des.
caves in Paris was "burgled." The
other day he received most urgent
message from the police Informing
him that the burglar had just been dis
covered. He went to the magistrates
office and was there introduced to his
burglar. The first thing that struck
him was that Palm-that being the
burglars name--had marvellous mem
ory. He has burgled innumerable
houses since 1899. and he remembers
all about the burglaries. In fact, he
remembered more about the burglary
at NJ. Descaves' house than NJ. Des-
yersation between burglar and burgled
was perfectly courteous. "Of course"
said NJ. Deserves. Il should not think
of animadverting upon your having
made use of my wardrobe, for the
garments which you left behind in ex-
change for mine certainly did require
replacing" Exactly" answered Palm
~ Il
that of the two of us came off worse.
Just consider your trousers, for In
stance"
NJ. Descaves looked hurt Palm ex-
planned by gesture the difference IN
girth between the novelist and him
self NJ. Descaves apologized for the
width of his trousers, and the burglar
gave him a bit of advice. when you
go away never shut your shutters.
BY doing so you give burglars the tip.
On the contrary. leave them open and
leave your mat in front of the door.
This will delude my friends into think
ing that there is still somebody In the
house
On leaving NJ. Descaves shook hands
with his burglar. but felt delicacy
about saying "Au revoir," as Palm has
already sentences of a dozen years
hard labor to undergo. mo. don't say
au revoir, because II we do ever meet
again I am afraid that the pleasure
will be for me only" said Palm, who
finally showed his breeding by insist
ing that NJ. Descaves should pass out
of the door before him. 1t is not often
one meets with such polite burglars or
that burglars have the luck to VIC
timize humorists who take their mis-
fortunes SO pleasantly.-Boston Tran

only two makers are left, Messrs.

Japanese has come forward to offer
himself as an apprentice. and the
question was referred to the mikGdo

LURE OF A LANGUAGE.
German Loaded With Metaphors and
Poetic Exaggsration.

In making allowance for the kali
ser's uttered indiscretions we must
remember the German language. Or
binary German prose suffers from a
dreadful excess Of metaphor. The
mailed fist" and the "loosened saber"
are not altogether rhetorical sparks
struck out on the hot anvil Of imperial
excitement, but examples Of that poet
ic exaggeration SO easy to German.
1t is a fault most common among the
most learned. Professor Jones Of Yale
or Harvard would probably begin his
volume on 'The Geology of Yucatan,"
BY Yucatan In the present work
mean the Central American peninsula
known by that name, as well as the
adjacent coasts" etc. But Professor
Hammerschlag of Leipzig must begin
by saying, THE convulsive continent
splitting efforts of Terra"-or perhaps
Gala-'.to pour forth her imprisoned,
vital forces brought forth in the dim
triassic ages the torrid land mass
which lolls like sleeping monster be-
tween the warm waters of the Carib-
bean and the torrid waves of the gulf
of Mexico in 81 to % degrees west
longitude" An English politician
speaking in English says, This coun-
try-er-welcomes Internationally RI
valry Of n great power like Germany,
under its-er-honored sovereign as
er-conducive to the interests of both
nations" etc. But when German
statesman rises to speak the genius of
his language demands that he shall
say. "Germania wants peace. but it
will continue to stare defiantly into
the bloodshot eyes of ravening naval
powers which with eager claws" ETC.
