WHERE GUY HAWKES. PLOTTED
White Webbs Park Said to Be Scene of Gunpowder Plot Con-
 spiracy.

White Webbs park, whose footpaths are in dispute, is the center of two in. terestlng legends, says a London dis. patch.
 Local tradition has it that White Webbs house was one of the meeting places of the gunpowder plot conspira. tors; and it is at any rate certain that Hawkes. was frequent visitor there. And apparently the house was of a kind to lend itself to plotting, for the commissioners who searched it after Guys arrest reported it to be full of trapdoors and passages, presumably secret.
 This house was demolished in 179O. but some portions of it's outbuildings are probably embodied in the King and Tinker inn, for which the story of King James and the Tinker is claimed. This legend, to which, by the way, Enfield is not the sole claimant, tells how the king, separated from his hunting com. panions, came across the tinker, who. after some familiar conversation, ex. pressed wish to see the monarch.
 He was bidden to mount behind his new friend and look out for the only man who kept his hat on when they rejoined the hunting party. and in due course found that he had been sharing the kings horse.

 It is said that Robert Lansing slipped easily and gracefully into the big chair in the cabinet room which stands at the right hand or the bigger chair which is occupied by woodrow Vii son. A good many men of note nave oceupieu the chair When a man ceases to be secretary of state history invariably an estimate or him and of his services. What Will the serolct be concerning Robert Lansing?
 One thing is certain, MT. Lansing entered upon his great office duties at time when 1t IS pos sible for man to win his spurs or to lose them and that quickly. There are heavy puroens oh the shoulders of this present incumbent or hlgn cabinet office. When the corner stone ol Ine Pan-Amercan building laid Theodore Roose- velt then president of the United States dehV' cred an address in which he said that there had been many great secretaries Of state put that there had been none greater than Ellhu foot.
 At the laying of some corner stone or at 'he ceremonies attending other memorapie oc- casion will it be Woodrow Wilson's part to rise to his feet and say, There have been many great secretaries of state, but none greater than Rop- ert Lansing?
 In writing this sketch one very important mat ter came pretty near being overlooked. hopert Lansing secretary of state, is poet. some peo- nIe say that he is "a writer of exquisite. verse; Poetry is poetry; verse is either near poetry or no kin to poetry. MT. Lansing does not cla1m to be a great poet. It is Nrobabe that ne "rltes poetry as diversion AI any rate It IS geher- ally conceded that he is a pretty falr poeI anu that he also is much more than a pretty 1alr painter
 So when the American people have secretary of state who can make other nations sit up ana nav attention who can fish, who can play pase ball. who can dress well, who can paint, "no can write poetry and, what is better, exceedlhgiy forceful prose- ought not the said American peo- ple to be satisfied with the man who mas taKen upon himself a large part of the puroens ol state at time when those burdens are neaVy:

slay Elephants With Spears.

The Jieng people, an African tribe. are remarkably brave, and they re- gently killed two man-eating lions with spears alone. This means that the first men attacking the animal are killed to certainty before their companions are enabled to rush in and despatch the wounded animal.
 They also hunt elephants in the very primitive and dangerous fashion of dropping weighted spears upon the elephant from branches of trees. These spears remain fixed, and the elephant exists for days until it is exhausted by the increasing number of spears which are embedded in its hide. The. country is full of ivory, large quantities of which are hidden or buried and will probably never be found.
 In one little village the people killed 15 hippos in three days sim ply by throwing spears at the huge creatures from frail dugout canoes

in interest in what called the human things of life. Robert Lansing is baseball fan; he is also painter of no mean ability; he knows how to handle the rod and reel and can land with neatness and dispatch brook trout small mouth bass. Moreover. MT. Lansing likes the social life, and not infrequently he is to be at afternoon affairs when state department duties are not pressing and still more frequently at ming affairs where. as one might say he loosens up bit and talks in way to draw his auditors and to hold them.
 Oswald Garrison Willard has written in the New York Evening Post this little description of MT. Lansings personal appearances:
 The contrast between MT. Bryan and his cessor is nowhere more marked than in their personalities. MT Lansing is handsome man, with notably fine eyes and winning countenance that lights up most attractively when he is amused. He smiles with his eyes well otherwise writes Washington reporter about him. and there is a keenness in their expression which indicates able and nimble mind. He is altogether of grave and dignifed presence, which is enhanced by his prematurely gray hair he is only fifty-one He is well groomed, stands up straight and looks directly into the eyes of his questioners. Usually he is wearing the black cutaway of statesmanship. You feel instnctively that he is man to tie to, the kind which shrewd ntutive women would naturally seek as counselor. Indeed, this title which he has hitherto borne in the state department fits him like a glove
 In the paragraph which is quoted something is said about the secretary of state being hand some Some Washington residents declare that he is the handsomest man in the cabinet. Others do not agree to this but all admit that the secretary's way of carrying himself is all that it should be. It is perhaps probable that MT. Lan- sing knows that he carries himself well. At any rate he alone is responsible for his carriage, while his tailor is responsible in considerable measure for making the secretary admittedly the best-dressed man in public life in Washing ton.
 It may be asked who is, or rather who was. Robert Lansing? While the answer is not to be given in few words, it is probable that the secretary of state comparatively unknown until he came into prominence in connection with our delicate dealings with Mexico and with the other powers, little and great, which re- gently have been at trouble among themselves or within themselves, and have been directly and in- directly causing trouble to the United States.

JACK OF ALL TRADES.

There is a man in my town, in
 your town, and in every town, who
 can do about everything we'll and noth-
 ing very well. If he is a bookkeeper,
 he is fairly good one, and he would
 not be a complete failure selling goods behind the counter or on the
 road. If he is stenographer, his shorthand notes are legible, and he
 can usually read them. He is neither
 rapid nor slow If he is practicing
 physician, he diagnoses with ordinary
 accuracy, and is familiar with accept ed remedies, cures, and treatments; but nobody goes to him if suffering
 from a complication. Perhaps he is a lawyer. He can make out bill of sale, or mortgage, or any other legal
 document, that will probably hold, but
 great corporation employs better | man.
 Most of these men would be fairly
 proficient in any calling, and the chances are that all of them know
 how to do several things we'll; many of them can do many things well. | They pride themselves upon their versatility, are good citizens, and earn | respectable livings. They make pretty good husbands and fairly good fathers. They are usually industrious; but, and | this BUT looms large on this page i and in the affairs of life-BUT they l have no real definite, solid, market able asset. They are trustworthy only l to limited degree. They are or
 can be, jacks of all trades, or of any
 trade. They climb one. two, or three | rungs of the ladder, and there they stay, neither falling back nor advanc- l ing.
 l l am not asking any young man to l so devote himself to one thing that l he will be ignorant of everything else.
 I see no reason why an eminent as- tronomer should not be able to hit
 nail on it's head oftener than to miss | it; but, if he brides himself upon his
 mechanical ability in doing carpentry
 work, this proficiency will come to
 him at sacrifice of his more import ] ant science.-- ------------------ It has been said that no man can do
 more than one thing very we'll 1 The great successes of life are those
 who specialize, who attempt to do one 1 thing better than all other things, who
 make that one thing more important
 than all else, not necessarily neglect l ing the little duties, not being wholly l ignorant of common affairs. They are

 can do, but by the one thing they can

SOCIALISTS ARE

LONDON, April 17.-(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press).-H. M.

Great Britain. has sent letter to M.
Clemenceau, the French socialist
leader and editor of L'Homme En-.
chaine, in which he says that he be-
lieves If all the British socialists, in
cluding the Fabians, were to put the
question to a vote, a large majority
would declare for war to the finish.
Keir Hardie, Ramsey Macdonald
and w. C. Anderson, all members OF
parliament, and Bruce Glasier have
produced the impression abroad says
Hyndman, that British socialists op.
pose the war almost to the extent OF
being pro-German. But he denied
that these men, whom he calls the

have any influence outside of the in.
depent labor party, and even in that,
he claims, their influence is small.
He explains:
There Is not shadow of doubt
that the overwhelming majority of
workers In this island are on the side
OF the war. Hundreds of thousands
of the two million soldiers now with
the colors are not unskilled and ILL.,
paid workers, but from the ranks o.
trade unionists. There are enlisted
no fewer than 100000 miners, whose
wages at the time of their enlistment

KITCHENER IN EGYPT
Has Left Stamp Of His Genius ol
khartoum,


Hardly had got through the Gus
toms when was impressed with
the fact that Egypt is a one-man
country. On every side one hears
this mans name; it's Kitchener this
and Kitchener that. Before he
came Egypt was in rebellious
state; lighting. treachery. mutiny
shovel-headed spears. Now it is
different. The reason Of it all is
khartoum. 1t was there that Major
ener taught them where to get their
meals. There he threw their last
spear into the Nile and made them
promise to be good; but he had to
kill 10000 to make them see things
his way. Near Khartoum the blacks
made their last stand. When they
surrendered and gave up their last
spear and carbine, Kitchener set
about making a nation Of them.
When they came upon Mahmud, the
leader, he was sitting on his prayer
rug, his head bowed, his weapons
around him, according to the custom
Of the Dervishes, silently waiting for
the victor's blow that would send his
head rolling into the hot sand. When
Kitchener told him to go back to
camp and get something to eat he
was more astonished than he was
that the battle had gone against
him.
From that day. II years ago.
Kitchener has been the most feared
and best loved man in Egypt. Feared
by the half-educated effendi and
loved by the fellah. The peasant had
his ear. Kitchener speaks Arabic
having learned it when he was in the
Holy Land as director OF the Pales.
tine exploration fund. He knew the
people and sympathized with them as
no other commander of Egypt had

turned from an extended trip over the

The commercial clubs at Lewis
town and Fort Benton have received
word from officials of the Milwaukee
that the excursions are materializing
successfully, Mr.. Whipple says, and
many hundreds, if not thousands, of
people are expected to attend the
sales. He says, too, that there have
been numerous inquiris from people
all over Montana who are anxious to
grab off piece of good cheap state
land.
