HISTORY AS SHE IS WROTE
English Paper Says That General
Woods Chief Claim to Fame Was
HE Capture Of Geronimo.

1t Is sometimes necessary to use for
,eign papers to learn interesting things
about our own people. An English
paper says that Gen. Leonard Wood
was once an infantry officer and that
he captured Geronimol The follow
ing Is from London Tit-Bits:
The name Of Gen. Leonard Wood
conveys little or nothing to the ma
jority Of us. He is Americas fore
most fighting man, with a self-made
career as romantic as that Of any Of
the great captains Of industry.
Although he never graduated at a
military college, he has worked his
way up from obscurity to eminence
with amazing rapidity.
Perhaps the most remarkable fact
about this remarkable man Is that he
entered the army as doctori Having
taken his medical degree at Harvard,
he entered the United States Medical
corps as surgeon.
It was not long before his senior
officers began to take notice of Wood.
He was transferred to the infantry,
and during the Southwestern Ameri-
can border campaign, with his gallant
band Of 90 picked cavalrymen, Lieu
tenant Wood for over two years swept
the rough and wild country of Ari-
iona in the hopes of running to earth
Geronimo, the notorious and cruel In
dian chief, feat he eventually ac-
complished.

RoDAYA LOWEST OF Castles
Those Who Survive Are to Be Found
Today In Handy, the old-Tlme Cap
ltal Of ceylon.

The old-time capital Of Ceylon is a
city rich with the usual picturesque
ness of the East, and having two or
three unusual points about 1t as well.
In Randy you will find the Rodaya
caste, one Of the few Buddhist castles
whose origin is matter of history.
Randy, too, contains the most sacred
object In the Orient, no less relic
than a tooth of Buddha. These two
features are Kandy's principal claims
to fame and interest.
1t is written that the Rodaya had
their origin In the sentence pronounced
by an old-time king, who charged that
they served his table with the flesh Of
pigs instead Of the flesh Of deer. For
this crime he made them the lowest
Of all castles, and their lot has not
been a happy one. There are perhaps
800 Of them left today; they may be
seen daily around the outskirts Of
Handy. They are not allowed to live
In houses, but lnhabit miserable lean
tos. They have no recourse to native
courts Of justice, although under the
English law they are not Disseminated
against. They may not use a bridge,
but have to swim all streams. They
must kneel when addressing the higher
castles. When the shadow Of one of
them falls upon food, the food cannot
be eaten.

American Pin Globe Trotter.

The American pin goes the wide
world around, and our exports are
pretty equally divided between the or
binary pin and the safety pin. Mis-
sionaries from Africa and Asia say
that the American safety pin is so
highly valued that 1t takes the place
OF currency. Manila Is said to be
taking 100000 gross annually, and Italy
bought last year 100000 safety pins.
The reason for this is the shortage of
supplies from European countries.
England, France and Italy need the
metals for military purposes, and Ger
many and Austria will not make pins
even If they could get them out Of the
country, because they need the metal
too badly for guns and shells. The
American pin made by machinery is
Of superior quality, and the machines
are so developed that they can be fur
Inished even more cheaply than by the
cheap labor In Europe.

An Expert on Animals.

William Snyder, head keeper at the
Central Park menagerle In New York,
is willing to answer any question re-
garding animals at any hour of the
day or night. That readiness frequent
ly gives him an insight into domestic
tragedies affecting the life or liberty
of birds. dogs, cats, monkeys and even
turtles kept as pets in New York
homes. Mr.. Snyder was called to the
telephone recently and questioned by
an agitated woman who sought to
know the proper food for turtle Mr.,
Snyder explained that 1t depended
upon the type of turtle, and upon be-
ing informed that 1t was little one,
two inches In diameter, suggested that
it be fed one lettuce leaf a week. "Oh,
pshaw," exclaimed the woman, "and
I've just sent the maid over to get 1t a
pound Of chopped meat"

EoreIhla Remembrance.

The burly man was telling his griev-
ances to the man next him on the car.
II lost the receipt" he said, "but I
wasn't going to pay the tax again. He
knew I'd paid it. but would you be-
lieve it. when I told him had paid
1t once and would not pay 1t again, the
scoundrel began to abuse met"
what did you dor" asked the other
man.
"Why, I demonstrated with him."
"oh. what did you dor"
swell, talked to him."
"Yes-and thenT
"He was ruder still, and replied"

We are practical beings. each of us
with limited functions and duties to
perform. Each is bound to feel In
tensely the Importance Of his own
duties and the significance of the stu
atoms that call these forth. But this
feeling is In each of us u vital secret,
for sympathy with which we vainly
look to others. The others are too
much absorbed in their own vital Sc
crets to take an interest in ours. Hence
the stupidity and injustice of our opin-
ions, as far as they deal with the sig
nihcance Of alien lives. Hence the
falsity Of our judgments, so far as
they presume to decide in an absolute
way on the value of other persons con-
ditions or ideals.-William James.

HOBBIES ARE NOT ALL BAD:
lThey May Have a Very Soothing In.
fiuence Upon One If They Are
Not Ridden to Death.

A great deal has been said from
time to time of the unhealthy infu-
ence Of what the world is pleased to
call hobbies" the idea being, Of
course, that valuable time is wasted
in their pursuit which could other
wise be used to advantage. OF course,
in the case of hobbies, just as In all
other interests of purely personal
preference, the harm lies in their
abuse. To mount n hobby and ride it
to death, thus deliberately thwart-
ing our real aim, is sheer waste of
time, but to care for 1t gently, to
adapt Its influences to our advantage
and to draw upon 1t with discretion
is a very different matter, says the
Charleston News and Courier. Hob
bies, as a rule, are evidences Of indi-
viduallty; they represent various
routes by which we are struggling to
arrive at a certain goal, a goal per-
haps which may not be clearly defined,
but which exists somewhere for those
who try to reach 1t. We find certain
comfort at times In yielding to the
more or less soothing influences Of
some particular hobby, whether 1t be
merely the discussion Of a special
subject or active participation in a
particular pursuit. So long as we keep
ourselves within check and resist the
temptation to give way to unrestrlct-
ed indulgence in the favorite pursuit
which others are pleased to designate
as a hobby, we can do no harm to
anyone, but the trouble is that once
we settle upon a special interest
which will serve as an outlet for our
feelings, we are quite likely to en-
phasize that interest to an unwhole-
some degree.
