New Secretai7 of Interior
Is Walter L fisher.
BELIEVES IN PINOIIOT IDEAS.
Taft Calli Chicago Lawyer to Hl Cab
inet Whose Many Offioei With Con
servation Associations Leave No
Doubt as to His Policy.
New York, Mnrch S. Walter Lnwrl
Fisher, the now secretary of the In
terior, has been in New York for ser
oral days attending meeting of the
railway securltlos commission which
jwns appointed by President Taft r
pently to Investigate the feasibility of
governmental regulation of nllrond
stock and bond Issues. President Hart
ley of Ynle Is chairman of the com
mission and Mr. Klsher Is a member.
"I hare no statoment to make except
that I havo accepted this position with
& deop appreciation of Its obligations
and of its opportunity to accomplish
practical and constructive work," he
said.
Ho will go to Washington Thursday
to see President Taft and homo to Chi
cago next week for a few days to set
his house In order before returning to
Washington to start work as a mem
ber of the cabinet.
Mr. Fisher was born in Wheeling,
W. Va!, July 4, 1802. He is the son of
Daniel Webster Fisher, president of
Hanover collego from 1870 to 1007, ex
aminer of the United States mint from
1SS0 to 1S0II and a leader in the Pres
byterian church. Walter Klsher wai
educated at Marietta and Hanover col
leges. Hlnt'O Ills admission to the bar
In 1SSS he has practiced law In Chica
go. He was successively a member
of the firm of Matz, Fisher & Boyden,
special ns-essment attorney of Chica
go, secretary and then president of the
Municipal Voters' league and since
190(1 special traction counsel of the
City. He is vice president of the Na
tional Conservation association, presi
dent of the Conservation League of
America nud vice president of the Na
tional X unicipal league. He Is a mem
ber of the University, City, Literary,
CHIT Dwellers'. Onwentsla and Shoklo
Country clubs.
Mr. Fisher Is especially Interested In
the problem of bringing great public
and private interests Into harmony.
When Carter Harrison was mayor
Ihe last time he fought for a fifty year
street railway franchise. He controlled
the situation by power of his veto, but
many citizens clamored for something
nior alllrmativc. Then Dunne was
elected mayor on a platform favoring
Immediate municipal ownership. He
failed to get it. Resolving to make
some headway anyhow townrd rescu
ing the traqtion situation .from the
muddle thut had existed many years,
Mayor Dunne In 1007 made Fisher spe
cial traction counsel for the city coun
cil. As such Mr. Fisher drew up new
street railway ordinances, as a result
of which the city Is now getting a rev
enue of $1,500,000 out of the traction
companies.
Mr. Fisher believes In conservation
of national resources. Ho became head
of the Conservation League of Amer
ica, of which President Uoosevelt was
honorary president and President Tnft
and William J. Ilryan honorary rice
presidents.
The league grew out of the tlrst con
ference of governors held in Washing
ton in 1008. Its members were not
Individuals, but organizations such as
the National Civic federation. After
Taft became president the Natlonnl
Conservation association was formed,
and among Its members were Mr. Fish
er and Gilford Pinchot. Mr. Taft was
a member. When Pinchot resigned as
forester he became president of the
association. Mr. Fisher is still a vice
president. The purpose of the associa
tion Is to harmonize all efforts toward
conservation,

What "Ham' .' - '.d.
In a mining camp lowu "Hnmlet"
was one evening given by a strolling
cotrpnny, and this is the criticism that
appeared next dny in the local papers,
written by the miner dramatic critic:
"There is loo mm b chinning in this
piece. The author is behind the times
nnd seems to forget that what we
want nowndays is hair "raising situa
tions nnd detectives.
"In the hands of a skillful play
wright a detective would have been
put upon the track of Hamlet's uncle,
and the old man would havo been
hunted down in a manner that would
have lifted the audience out of their
cowhides.
"The moral of the niece is -not rood.
The scene where nntnlet sasses his '
mother is a very bad example to the i
rising generation. '
"Our advice to the nutlior Is more
action, more lovemaklng nnd plenty
of specialties. The crazy girl scone
should be cut out altogether and n
rattling good song nnd dance substi
tuted."
Charles V. at Table.
Emperor Charles V. of Austria, by
far the most powerful ruler of his dny,
was thus described as he appeared at
table by Roger Aschom. secretnry to
the English ambassador, in 1550: "I
stood hard by the emperor's table. He
had four courses; he hnd sod beef
very good roast mutton, baked hare;
Ueso bo no service in Englnnd. The
emperor hath a good face, a constant
look; he fed well of a capon; I have
had a better from mine hostess Barnes
many times in my chamber. He and
Fordlnnndo, king of the Romans, ate
together very handsomely, carving
themselves where they list, without
any curiosity. The emperor drank the
best that ever I saw: he had his head
in the glass five times as long as any
of us nnd never drank less than a good
quart at once of Rhenish wine." It
was notorious that the emperor ate
nnd drank immoderately, and ns a nat
ural result he suffered terribly from
gout from the time ho wns thirty years
old
Game to the Last. I
Douglas MaeDotmld and his old cro- !
ny, Donald MacDougal. were once op-
posed to each other in a famous curl
ing match, nnd the last two stones to
finish the game were the two cronies'
Donald MacDougal. with cnormou?
deliberation, threw his stone. He
threw It well. Ho made what Is called
a pat lid and jumped for joy. Then It
was Douglas MacDonald's turn. His
case seemed hopeless, but such a splen
did throw did ho make that the pat
lid wns knocked off, and his stone lay
at the side of the tee, winning the
game. In his joy the old fellow lump
ed sky high. He came down so hard
that ho broke right through the Ice.
He sank, but, bobbing up again, ho ,
shouted from the cold water: ,
"HI, lads, we've won. and If 1 dtnna ,
come oot o' hero alive be sure ye pit
Hint Rtrmn nn mv i-rn vrt" .Rxphnnf-e. !
Dirt and Death.
When a celebrated Paris physician
was asked how the city could prevent
the coming of a plague then ravaging
other European places he answered,
"Boll your Ice!" That tersely called
attention to the necessity of utter
cleanliness nud that even ice made
from impure water carried disease.
"Yellow fever," said Henry Ward
Beccher, "is God Almighty's opinion of
dirt." Tho chief contributing cause
toward modern efficiency In surgery Is
that surgeons have learned to keep
clean. Nothing is so spotless as n good
hospital. Everything Is boiled nnd
sterilized beds. Instruments, clothing,
washrags, floors, hands and finger
nails. That is why they save lives
there. Nobody would die if ho could
keep perfectly clean. Death is tho
final triumph of dirt. Chicago Trib
une. He Understood the People.
One of Jay Gould's campaigns as a
dealer in railways was with tho Wa
bash system of railroads. He got con
trol and after effecting a reorganiza
tion which increased the capital stock
nnd also the bonded debt sold them
out. It Is related of him at this tlmo
that an nssoclate said to him, "Mr.
Gould, don't you think you are bond
ing this much higher than the property
will stand?" "That may be," answer
ed he, "but the American people aro
mighty partial to bonds."
The Jerboa and the Melons.
An odd fact relative to a little Afri
can melon Is thus related by an offi
cial of Khartum:
The Jerboa or kangaroo rat Is found
In considerable numbers in places miles
and miles away from any water or
even dew, nnd 1 was at n loss to un
derstand how these little animals could
exist through the ten months of
drought. It appears, however, that
after tho scanty rains a small wild
melon of bitter taste, hut full of Juice,
flourishes In the desert. The jerboa,
as soon as the melon Is ripe, bites off
the stem and proceeds to dig nway
tho sand under tho melon, so that It
gradually sinks below tho level of tho
ground. The coustaut wind soon cov
ers It with sis to eight Inches of saud,
which protects It from tho scorchlug
sun and from drying up. When all
other moisture has evaporated the jer
boa goes to his larder and drinks the
Juice of the melon till tho rains come
on again. One Jerboa will bury ns
many as forty of theso little melons
to last him through the dry season.
A Rite and a Wrong.
"Mnrringo," remnrked tho professor,
"was a rlto practiced by tho an
cients" "And bachelorhood," interrupted a
maiden of forty, "Is n wrong practiced
by tho modern." Boston Transcript.
Setting a Watch.
Th! Jeweier set my watch within a
thousandth of a second when he ga"o
It to me today," said the man with n
new timepiece, "nnd this is how he
did It:
"He has n clock wired up with the
big chrouomcter at Washington. At
4 p. m. this clock was corrrcted to
the thousandth of n secoud. At 4:05
he was reatiy to deliver my wntch.
His master clock has a 3'J.l Inch pen
dulum, so It ticks secouds. Each of
the Hrst llfty-flve ticks In each minute
Is announced by a telegraph sounder
In the clock, then the last live seconds
nro silent. The watchmaker rested a
camel's hair brush on the balance
wheel of the watch to stop It, then set
all the hands, hour, minute and second
at 4:00:00 nnd waited. When the si
lence of tiie sounder Indicated 4:05:55
lie gol ready, and five seconds later, on
the first tick of 4:00, he lifted the
brush and the watch started. By
looking at the second hand with a
glass, and listening to the clock an
nouncer I proved their identicalness
except for the time it took the sound
to travel from the clock to my ear."
New York Sun.
Daniel Wilson, His House.
Dr. Daniel Wilson, afterward prin
cipal of the University of Toronto,
used In earlier days to live near Lnu
rlston, in Scotland. One day Dr. John
Beddoo (who has written an autobiog
raphy) set out to find him. "Having,"
ho says, "no clear idea of the situation
of the house, I entered St. Margaret's
lane, which I conceived must lead In
the right direction, and, meeting n gen
tleman just about to issue therefrom,
asked whether lie could direct me to
Dr. Wilson's now house. He looked
hard at mo and Inquired:
"'Do you know Daniel Wilson V '1
do.' 'Intimately?' 'Yes. Intimately.'
'Then follow this road till you see a
house that looks as if it belongs to
Daniel Wilson, and that will be it.' I
thanked him and, following his advice,
had no difficulty in identifying the
house. Tt had a window whicli con
tained some tracery of a pattern which
I kuew Wilson considered peculiarly
Scottish."
Forbidden Ground.
A visit of Gludstone to the Isle of
Mnn Is recalled by Agnes Herbert and
described in her book about that in
teresting little speck In the midst of
tho Irish sea.
Mr. Gladstone had made a detour
across n small holding in Rushen, and
his way lay through the "haggart,"
where tho stacks are harvested. A
strong, powerfully built Manxwoman
stood throwing up the straw to the
stack, using her fork as deftly and
quickly ns a farm laborer.
"That is very hard work, my good
woman," the Grand Old Man Is re
ported, to have said graciously, "but
you look well and strong. May I ask
how old you are?"
Tho toller hardly turned as she an
swered sharply:
"How ouT nrt thou thyself, thou lm
perent oul man?"
The Arts of Asia.
It was Asia, through Arabia, which
gave Europe the literature, the arts
and the sciences which we have de
veloped and of which we now boast.
Gunpowder was probably Invented In
China. It was certainly introduced
Into Europe from Arabia. The finely
tempered steel of Damnscus went over
from Arabia at the time of the Moor
ish Invasion of Spain, nnd its manu
facture was continued at Toledo. Tho
coppersmiths of Bagdad supplied the
world's market with their wonderful
productions centuries before there
were any industries In Europe. Weav
ing of silk and cotton had its birth as
an Industry In Arabia, and tho weav
ing of wool was learned by tho cru
saders In the same wonderful country.
Astronomy, mathematics, the mariner's
compass all came to us from the
Arabs. Argonaut.
The Tramp and the Do0.
Mrs. Suburb Oh, my dear, that mag
nificent watchdog you brought homo
yesterday is gone!
Mr. Suburb Eh? Did he break the
chain?
"No, but an ugly looking tramp came
around and acted so terribly that I let
the dog loose, but instead of tearing
the tramp to pieces he went off with
him."
"Great snakes! It must have been
the samo tramp I bought him of!"
