ATHLETE IN CHARGE
George W. Woodruff, who has been named by
President Roosevelt as acting secretary of the
interior during the absence of Secretary Garfield,
is one oi the best-known authorities on outdoor
games in the country, an all around athlete with
a number of splendid records to his credit and
developed the Pennsylvania university and Car
lisle Indian football elevens.
Hia was the unusual record of having been
for his entire four years a member of the foot
bell eleven, the track and field teams and the
varsity crew. He captained the crew of 1889.
After finishing his classical course at Yale,
Mr. Woodruff went to the University of Pennsyl
vania to study law, and it was here that he made
his reputation as one of the foremost football
tacticians of his day.
When Mr. Woodruff left college a fighter was wanted in the forest serv
ice as law officer, and Mr. Woodruff got the appointment, becoming chief
aid to Gifford Plnchot, the government forester. He did yeoman service in
organizing the national forest reserve policy, and his industry and ability
especially commended itself to the president, who soon discovered that the
energetic, restless, planning, hustling attorney was a man of much his own
mold.
The acting secretary of the interior is about the same age as Mr. Roose
velt and is not unlike the president in appearance. The shape of the faces,
with the prominent teeth, the mustache and the expression of restless ener
gy are not unlike.
Mr. Woodruff is one of five assistants to the attorney general, and is
connected with the department of justice, though his assignment is to give
advice to the department of the Interior in matters where legal points are
raised.
GOTHAM CITY CHAMBERLAIN
Janies J. Martin, the newly-appointed city
chamberlain of New York, who is expected to
join Mayor McClellan in his fight to oust Charles
F. Murphy from the leadership of Tammany Hall,
is one of the most powerful district leaders in
the metropolis. He is pointed out as the "last of
the old school of politicians,” and he says he is
proud of the distinction. The notion that the suc
cessful politician of the present day is the man
who can shake hands, smile sweetly and promise
without either fulfilling or offending is scorned by
Mr. Martin.
"Politicians should stick more to the truth,"
says he. "I did it, and I know that it pays. Now
and then it creates a little friction for a short
time, but it disappears. You can never hold the
support of a man to whom you lie, nor can you keep as your friend a man
to whom you make promises that you do not keep. >fy policy always was
to tell a man straight off whether I could do a thing or not. If 1 said I
would. 1 did, and I got along all right.”
Mr. Martin has been mentioned dozens of times for the leadership of
Tam many Hall, has been the power in the Twenty-seventh district since
1882, has been chairman of the Tammany executive committee, president of
the board of police commissioners, and during all his political career has
been one of the “big” men in the organization. He was for years one of
Richard Croker's counselors. When he resigned as an executive of the or
ganization last September it was said by a political wag, "Martin has left,
taking Tammany’s brains with him.”
Mr. Martin was born in Ireland and came to this country a babe in arms.
At the age of 11 years he went to work as an office boy for a lawyer. In
1862, in company wifh several other boys, he ran away from home and en
listed in the Ninth New York volunteers. He served on the field for a year
and then was made head of the clerical force with Gen. Dix. He continued
in this office until the end of the war.
SENT MAGNATES TO JAIL
Lyman Wheeler Wachenheinier, the prosecut
ing attorney through whose efforts 23 Toledo lum
bermen anil brick men have been sentenced to
jail for. violation of the anti-trust laws, is 45 years
old ami a native of Toledo. He has always been
a Democrat. Nine ye'ars ago he was nominated
for police judge. His opponent was Scott Kelly,
who had been 'nominated for a third term. Kelly
was very popular, Toledo was almost hopelessly
Republican; nevertheless Mr. Wachenheinier was
elected. Before his term was half completed he
was the most popular official in the city. He was
a terror to law breakers, and the result was a
perceptible diminution of crime in Toledo. So
well liked was Judge Washenheimer that it was
difficult to get a Republican to run against him,
and he was chosen a second and third time by overwhelming majorities.
The Republican machine, which had controlled Toledo politics prior to
the advent of Mayor Sam Jones, was in close touch with a wing of the
Democratic party, and it was proposed by this combine to nominate Judge
Wachenheinier for any office he chose to designate. But he rejected the
offer and came out as the people’s champion and was nominated for prose
cuting attorney. The Democrats on the inside called him traitor, but their
bitterness served only to nerve him to greater effort, and he won an over
whelming victory over the bosses.
Prosecuting Attorney Wachhenheimer’s first big accomplishment was
to bring about the indictment of a score or more of bridge men engaged in
“grafting'’ through an organized pool. But they were never brought to
trial, owing to the fact that many counties had prior service on them.
He next began a crusade against the Ice Trust, which ended in the
members of the trust paying fines and spending ten of last summer's hot
days in the local bastile.
JAPAN’S FOREMOST DIPLOMAT
Viscount Hayashi, minister of foreign affairs
in the Japanese cabinet, who recently went to
Seoul, the Korean capital, in the interests of his
country, which is hopeful that the emperor will
abdicate the throne as requested by the premier,
is A-wan much feared by those who would have
the present government continue. After the em
peror h.ad refused to relinquish his power Japan
lost no time in sending Hayashi to the scene and
the news of his arrival spread dismay about the
palace,
The circumstances loading up to the selection
of Hayashi for the important office he now holds
are interesting. Marquis Saionji, the prime min
ister, in reorganizing his cabinet, gave the port
folio of foreign affairs to Takaaki Kato, formerly
I deni -t»-uu. After holding the office only a few days Mr. Kato sud
jbas ^ re8'Kned, it is said, for reasons never made public. Thereupon Am
cal? ,i<>r ^ayas*1'- then at the court of St. James, received an unexpected
to return to Japan and he was placed in the cabinet.

IN THE NAME OF CHARITY.
Jack London’s Story Carries Sting of
Truth and Pathos.
“Jack London's famous definition of
charity—'sharing a bone with a dog
when you’re as hungry as the dog’—
recalls a story about charity,” said a
magazine editor, “that I heard Mr. Lon
don tell at a farewell dinner in New
York before he sailed away on the
Spark.
“Mr. London said two old men were
smoking and drinking together after
dinner.
“The host rang the bell and an old
woman appeared.
“‘Confound you, stupid!’ said the
host. 'Didn’t I tell you I wanted the
Scotch? Take this back, and bring
what I asked for, you old fool!’
“ 'Come, come,’ said the guest, after
the old woman had hurried away in a
great fright. ‘Come, come, my friend,
don’t you think you are rather too
sharp with your old servant?’
“ ‘Oh,’ said the other, ‘she's not a
servant. She’s only a poor relation
I’m keeping out of charity.’
“The guest looked relieved.
“ ’That alters the case, of course,’ he
said.”—Washington Times.
Depends on the Dogs.
Asa Goddard, of the American Auto
mobile association, was recounting in
Worcester some of his touring adven
tures.
“One summer morning,” t he said,
“the approach of a great flock of sheep
obliged me to pull off the narrow coun
try road. I halted my car, and watch
ed with interest the passage of the
sheep, the intelligent dogs and the
shepherd.
"I had a short talk with the shep
herd about his odd and difficult trade.
“ ‘Look here,’ I said, ‘what do you do,
driving sheep like this on a narrow
road, when you meet another flpck
coming in the opposite direction?’
“ ‘Well,’ said the shepherd, ‘ye just
drive straight on, both of ye, and the
one that has the best dogs gets the
most sheep.’ ”
No, Not as a Rule.
George P. Angell, Boston’s brilliant
and powerful defender of animals from
cruelty, was talking about nature
faking.
“My friend. Will Long is no nature
faker,” he said, “but I admit that many
of our myriad nature writers are.
These men’s idea of a lie seems too
closely to resemble that of a little boy
I know.
“Thg boy's teacher said from her
desk one afternoon:
“ ‘I want every pupil who has never
told a lie to hold up his hand.”
“There was a doubtful pause. Two
or three hands were raised. Then my
little friend piped out:
“ ‘Teacher, is it a lie if nobody finds
it out?’ ”
In Extremis.
The yacht was heavily becalmed.
There were but ten bottles of cham
pagne in the lockers. Their last signal
of distress had been sent up, without
bringing any response.
“Gentlemen,” exclaimed the commo
dore, in a quavering voice, “I can no
longer conceal the hideous truth from
you. Sobriety stares us in the face!”
It was a wildly various scene which
ensued. Some blasphemed, some
prayed, some, in an access of frenzied
wantonness, sang songs, while some
sat stoically by, awaiting their fate
with at least an outward calm.—Puck.
It Will Stay There.
“In my family medicine chest no
remedy is permitted to remain unless
it proves beyond a doubt the best to
be obtained for its particular purpose.
For treating all manner of skin trou
bles, such as Eczema. Tetter, Ring
worm, etc., Hunt's Cure has held its
place for many years. I have failed
to find a surer remedy. It cures itch

R. M. SWANN, Franklin, La.
A Nice Sentence.
“You have a pleasant home and a
bright fireside, with happy children
sitting around it, haven’t you?” said
the judge.
“Yes, sir,” said the prisoner, who
thought he saw a way out of the diffi
culty.
“Well,” said the judge, “if the happy
children sit around the cheerful fire
side until you return, they will stay
there just 42 days.”
But He Was Gone.
“I tell you what,” said the sad-look
ing man, "it's pretty hard for a man
with a large family to live on a small
income.”
“Yes,” eagerly agreed the stranger,
“but it's a great deal harder for his
family if he dies on one. Now, my line
is insurance; let me interest you’—
Eh? What's your hurry?”

SKIN DISEASES
HUMORS IN THE DLOOt)
When the blood is pure, fresh and liealtlry, the skin will be soft, smooth
and free from blemishes, but when some acid humor takes root in the circu
lation its presence is manifested by a skin eruption or disease. These
humors get into the blood, generally because of an inactive or sluggish
condition of the members of the body whose duty it is to collect and carry
off the waste and refuse matter of the system. This unhealthy matter is left
to sour and ferment and soon the circulation becomes charged with the acid
poison. The blood begins to throw off the humors and acids through the
pores and glands of the skin, producing Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Psoriasis,
Salt Rheum and skin eruptions of various kinds. Eczema appears, usually
with a slight redness of the skin followed by pustules from which there
flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense.
It is generally on the back, breast, face, arms and legs, though other parts
of the body may be affected. In Tetter the skin dries, cracks and bleeds;
the acid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, which are intended
to keep it soft and pliant, causing a dry, feverish condition and giving it a
hard, leathery appearance. Acne makes its appearance on the face in the
form of pimples and black heads, while
Psoriasis comes in scaly patches on differ
ent parts of the body One of the worst
forms of skin trouble is Salt Rheum;
...... ------- its favorite point of attack is the scalp,
sticky fluid; crusts would coma on _ ,• r <
the skin and when scratched off sometimes causing baldness. Poison Oak
the skin, was left as raw as a piece and Ivy are also disagreeable types of skin:
