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

It 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 Geronimo! 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
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 doctor! Having
taken his medical degree at Harvard,
he entered the United States Medical
corps as a 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-
zona in the hopes Of running to earth

dian chief, feat he eventually ac-
complished.

HOBBIES ARE NOT ALL BAD
They May Have a Very Soothing In
fuence Upon One II They Are
Not Ridden to Death.
Ito be continued.)

A great deal has been said from
time to time of the unhealthy inilu-
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 hobby and ride Il
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 q very different matter, says the
Charleston News ard Courier. Hob
bies, as q rule, are evidences Of indl-
viduality; they represent various
routes by which we are struggling TO
arrive at q certain goal, a goal per-
haps which may not be clearly defined,
but which exists somewhere for those
who try to reach it. 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
particular pursuit. So long as we keep
ourselves within check and resist the
temptation to give way to unrestrict-
ed indulgence in the favorite pursuit
which others are pleased to designate
as hobby, We can do no harm to
anyone, but the trouble is that once
we settle upon q special interest
which will serve as IN outlet for our
feelings, we are quite likely to en-
phasize that interest to an unwhole-
some degree
