There Is Much Sympathy and CO.
operation Among Them.
The popular idea of animal charac-
ter is well summed up in the lines of
the familiar hymn:
Let dogs delight to bark and bite,
For God has made them SO;
Let bears and lions growl and fight,
For it's their nature to.
Yet, in the particular instance of
the dog, its love of fighting other dogs
is the outcome rather of modification
of character under domeStication han
of a natural condition 1t is true that
the pack is cruel; but there is loyalty
among its own members; nor does the
cruelty which is involved in it's hunt
ing other animals arise from a merely
sporting instinct" Independent of
the necessity of obtaining food. The
most cowardly animal may manifest
qualities of heroism on occasions, and
there are numerous authenticated in
stances of heroic actions achieved by
animals that cannot be wholly ex-
planned by instinct" Friendship and
cooperation are not less necessary
factors in the social systems of the
jungle than are destruction and hos
tile rivalry.
An interesting instance of mutual
benefit derived by animals belonging
to entirely different species is provided

fly in companies, and rest upon the

them of the ticks that infest most

country. Among wild beasts they de-

Things have changed considerable
since the stone age. For instance,
it's a lot easier to write a letter now
than it was in those ancient times.
Then, when a man wanted to write
to his best girl over in the next coun-
ty, he had first to hunt up a nice
smooth stone, then dig around in The
tool chest for the chisel, which per-
haps had been loaned to his neigh
Dor, Ahaz, the day before, and then
he had to fret and fume 1or an hour
over that rock, slowly and painfully
chipping out The words, one by ooe.
When the letter was finally written he
had to call a couple of slaves from
the barley field to carry his letter
for him. perhaps to the serious detri-
ment of said grain.
That's ony one instance. There
have been lots of other notable
changes which we needn't mention
here. But human nature, so the
philosophers tell US, is just about the
same row as it was 25, 900 years ago.
Therefore, We venture to guess that
the politicians of the stone age cid
not differ materially from the pCli-
tician of today In our minds eye
We see the candidate for high mucky-
muck of the land of Nod making
stump speech before some of his con-
stituents. Standing on a rough plat
form hewn out of the rock we hear

~ENATOR ELIHU ROOT of New
VI York, the choice of the commit
tee on arrangements for tenn
porary chairman of the Repub-
lican national convention to be held
at Chicago on June 10, is described as
"a friend of Colonel Roosevelt and a
supporter Of President Taft" How.
ever, If Roosevelt controls the conven-
ton, another than Root is likely to be
the chairman.
Senator Root is s~ixty-seven years old.
In appearance he is one Of the young
men. Of the dominant coterie of the
senate. His hair is abundant and but
little tinged with gray. a small lock
is left before each ear. He has a small
mustache. His forehead is Of average
height, a furrow running horizontally
across it. His cheeks are somewhat
sunken, his nose regular and chin
small. His eyes are blue, his complex
ion still pinkish.
Above medium height five feet
eight, erect, slender, with sloping
shoulders, Mr.. Root does not weigh in
excess Of 40 pounds. He has aristo-
cratic hands, with long, slender fingers.
He walks like Il farmer. His dress is
neat. but not gaudy. His usual attire
is a dark coat and trousers, a robin egg
blue tie with the smallest of scarf
pins, a negligee shirt and russell shoes.
He is the original shirt waist man in
official life at Washington. He insti-
tuted the fashion. while secretary Of
war. His belt is a plain black affair.
When he is not reading Senator Root
takes off his eyeglasses. His favorite
attitude is to lean his head on one
hand. AS an orator be is rather dis
appointing, because his voice is high.
thin and of inferior volume. He aban-
dons all other effects for that of i'm

NOOS
p~ressiveness. He is a master coupler
Of phrases, and his sentences are form
ed by a long succession of clauses.
There are long pauses between his
phrases. He elevates his voice by sue
cessive graduations until the climax of
vehemence is attained and then drops
to a whisper. His gestures are violent
and made alternately with the right
and left hand.
When he entered the senate Mr..
Root posed as the mouthpiece of the
administration. When the Payne-Al-
drich tariff bill was under discussion
he urged senators to desist from fool
ishness and pass the measure.
He is a faithful attendant in the SEN
ate. He gives close heed to all ad-
dresses when the membership is thin.
When it fills up he slips away to the
cloakroom.
Senator Root is known as a standpat-
ter and an apostle Of high protection.
His most important attempted legisla-
ton was the offering of an amend
ment to the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment forbidding the admission of pulp
and paper until all the provinces re-
moved their restrictions. This would
have forever prevented the importa-
| ton of print paper from Canada.
Although Mr.. Root has intermittent
ly sought leadership in the senate, he
has no magnetism or other qualities Of
leadership. He does not practice the
arts Of framing and cementing friend
ships. He passes the compliments Of
tho season with but few, and he avoids
comprehensive. He and Henry f.
| Lippitt. the Rhode Island successor of
Senator Aldrich. have become great
huns.
Mr.. Root likes society. He often
goes out. His wife does not carr for
entertaining. She prefers life in New
York.
The Washington home of the senator
is In a fiat so fashionable that it has
no lame. His apartments comprise
some eighteen rooms, with an elevator
in the middle. He has a Japanese but
