SECRETARY ROOT TELLS STORY.
Retiring Official illustrates Difficulties
Of His Position.

There are days when the secretary
with view of taking care of other
friends who are holding down berths
in the foreign service. The diplomat
tc and consular services are in q
way under the aegis of the civil serv'
ice, that is, mans record on other
missions help, him more than the help
of powerful frier1s. But a word from
the retiring secretary of state about
the efficiency of certain diplomat or
consul will go 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.
tentively to some chums who talked
up this ambassador and put in .
word for friend in the consular serv
ice. Then he said: Il will try to re-
member all this, and l will do the best
l 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 stjfly and sometimes had to
use two canes. He went one after
noon to make call, and he remained
quite q 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. Ho
was large, heavily built man, and
he feared fall. While he was pom
dering over his dilemma, along came
a young man in working clothes. and
the British ambassador, after cour.
teous salutation, asked: MY fr'""l
will you walk beside me and help l.-e
home? 1t Is just short ways, but j
am afraid Of falling. shall greatly
appreciate IT, The young man
looked him over and said, thickly:
old gent. am pretty full myself.
but I'll do the best can, T. q
very best can That's my
l.mma," ended Mr.. Root. II
pretty full of promises already on H.,
but I'll do the very best l can"

Oxygen Tipping.

Oxygen tipping is the latest form
81 the drug habit" said doctor. 1.-TWO
physicians have died of it this year,
and it is stated that there are quite
100 oxygen tipplers among the laity Of
our big cities.
"Oxygen, you know, is wonderful
stimulant. It's inhalation keeps death
off the dying for days and days. But
taken regularly It soon wrecks the
health. It's effect is said to be de-
lightful. Like champagne, 1t creates
gayety. Along with this gayety goes
a feeling of tremendous power and
lghtness. Drunk on oxygen the most
sluggish and melancholy persons have
a joyous and heartening idea that they
can do anything in the world-wrest
the oil trade from Rockefeller, say,
or with a little practice outrun Johnny
Hayes"

NOT LIKE ROMANCE
THE "soLDiER OF FORTUNE" IN
REAL LIFE.
Differs In Many Material Respects
from the Heroes Who Figure So
Prominently in the Pages
Of NoveIists.

Richard Harding Davis and other
writer's of lesser note have cast
glamour over the title, "Soldier of For
tune" which possibly applies to GER
tain victims of wanderlust and love OF
unusual adventure, but which is hcr'
rible misfit to the only individual the
writer ever knew whose many adven-
lures by field and flood, and beneath
d half dozen flags, properly placed him
in the class of Capt. Macklin, Red
Saunders and others known to readers
of fiction, says writer in the Atchi'
son Globe. Sam Chalmers was the
name our soldier of fortune gave to
those who asked. incidentally, he
was the homelie st man we ever met
a large. slouching, loose-jointed crea-
lure, who locked half man and half
gorilla. His feet and hands were too
large for his big body and he handled
both as II they were something of
burden. He was dish-faced, had bleary
eyes and the complexion of a tan shoe
after you have worn 1t through Gewy
grass.
Chalmers was always dirty and
usually drunk-a man without Wis
fble redeeming personal feature and
little mental attraction. But he had
accomplishments; he knew enough Of
the sea to make it carry him where he
would, and, perhaps, something more.
He could speak several languages and
a half-dozen native dialects, including
that of New York's East side (the
hardest to understand, where he
claimed to have originated at some in
definite date in the past. He. seemed
to have a knowledge of all the ports
OF all the seven seas and could, when
he would, tell interesting tales OF
fighting Zulus in South Africa, bush.
men in Australia, pirates off the China
coast and several other strange and
unpleasant creatures in other outland'
ish places.
Americans found him in an isolated
Filipino stronghold on the island OF
Leyte, and he said he had been taken
prisoner when he came ashore from
hemp ship. The natives said he had
been a captain of the insurgent army.
and perhaps he had, although he de-
MED it for obvious reasons. At any
rate. he wasn't an officer with them
for patriotism or love, for he turned
American scout and fought them with
a lust for blood amounting to savagery
He was brave as the bulldog is-be
cause it knows no better-which
seemed to be his only trait in common
with the other soldiers of fortune OF
whom we have read.
Later we met him as second mate
on a wind TANNER at Nagasaki. The
sea was home to Chalmers and he only
quit 1t occasionally to find a fight and
q more convenient place to get drunk.
Had Chalmers turned to the land In
stead Of the sea in his earlier years
he would have ended as only a COM
mon tramp. AS it was, he is tramp.
but of more uncommon kind. 1t Ia
the tramp instinct which makes
soldiers of fortune, although:
perhaps, some of them, more fortu-
nate, do wear immaculate white duck
suits and pith helmets. But the only
one we ever met was not very CLASSY
and he kind of shook our faith In Capt.
Macklin.

New-York tribune., 1910-10-09

This looks suspiciously like the statement that
two and two make four For further light on
Mr. Finberg's mode Of thought may offer
another sentence on one of the sketches;
The point of interest is the complex of sub
jective feeling aroused on a particular occasion
bv a chance conjunction of objects and circum-
stances. and in the final design the artist ann
signs which shall permanently Objectify this
emotional complex
The secret is out! Mr.. Finberg is = metaphy5i-
clan with a passion for the elucidatiOn of simple
things in a recondite manner. 1t is perfectly OBJ
vious to the student of Turner's history that IN
his earlier period he made a great quantity OF
typographical drawings. that this trained and
magnifcently developed his natural gift as a
craftsman. that as he matured, first under
the influence Of Wilson and then "off his own
bat" he heightened the truths of nature with
imaginative beauty. and ultimately turned more
sensuOus than spiritual and accordingly less i'm
pressive in his conceptions These are the
points, we believe, that Mr. Finberg would make
though, to tell the truth he has so envelOped
them in cloud of ine-drawn reasoning that
we cannot help wondering if he has not really
fallen upon a certain confusion of mind and
thereby quite lost control of the facts When he
looks at Turner's mastery Italian drawings he
admits that they may be highly praised. but,
SO far as understand him. we infer that
he Is not seriously interested until Turner puts
aside his drawings and becomes "a maker Of
pictures Evidently the sheer power of style
escapes him. Before the Rome, from the Vat
ican," he murmurs not that a thing of beauty
is joy forever, but that ''if Turner had valued
himself at all on his capacity for making beau
tiful Typographical drawings. he would surely
have taken some steps to bring these achieve
ments to the notice of the public
After that We are constrained to fall back upon
Mr. Finberg's reproductions These are nu-
merous and we'll made, and they give us some
of the most precious documents in the illus
tration of Turner's art. we find the book abun-
dantIy worth while. 1t is regrettable that one
cannot have the same feeling for the text since
