The republic of Cuba, built upon firm demomtle fiunitntlniiii, Is a mA tinienl to the administrative ability of Leonard Wood, In the Philippines U to be found another monument to bis statesmanship. , , Leonard Wood graduated In medl cine from Harvard, University In and served for more than a yeur In one of the grout hospitals, Inter to tnke charge of the charity depart ments In a section oMhe city of Ho ton where the poor lived, ' Not long after the completion of Wood'a work In Boston he became an aslMtant surgeon In the army, coming Into contact with Ihe western plains man, the miner, the people generally, and giving much of his time to the work of assisting the Indians am) to study of the problems of Irrigation and reclnmatton, .,'. Then for Leonard Wood thero came four years In California, He covered the suite ninny times In pursuance of bis 'duties and extended his field as occasion required Into the states of the Northwest, Then for two years lie was In scevlce In the South, having headquarters In Georgia. , From the South Leonard Wood went to the city of Washington, where hla work brought him Into '-dally contact with Gfover Clevelund. Then ho had the same Intimate relations with Wll .flam McKtnley and the men of b!s time. ' : Then came the Spanish war and the active campaign In Cuba as the col onel of the regiment of rough riders of which Theodore Roosevelt wns the lieutenant colonel. .',,-... At the close of the Spanish war Leonnrd Wood's supreme administra tive duties began. He was mado the governor of the city of Santiago and a few weeks Inter of the entire east ern half of Cuba, ' Under Wood profiteering was abol i lshod, Industry was built up, agricul ture rehabilitated, hospitals organ ised, equipped and maintained, tens of thousands of people clothed and fed and all this done In a thorough businesslike manner, It was done un der tribulations which arose from the fact that the people were Im poverished to the point -of starva tion and had been dying by thousands for the lack of the things which Wood Quickly provided. " ', Then there came the rehabilitation of the municipalities, the establish ment of schools, the opening of roads, the organizing of government In the provinces, the readjustment of. taxa tion and of the courts, and the work of providing for the thousands of chil dren made orphans by war or famine. There was more business and more j i varieties uf It than It has been th of many men ever to have placed ( on their shoulder. Not long after this there came th greater opportunities In Havana. It was necessary to re-wrlte the election laws to iiinke them fit the huklts of the people. I'rodnrtlon bad to he stimu lated, for agriculture win the main source of Ihe Island's wealth. Here a fn In the smue measure were follow, ed nml as a remit there Mere estab lished Inw and order, protection of llfo and property, and liberty with in the law, These were the foundation stones. Wood knew that the government must be run by the Cubans, and so 00 per cent of the olllclnls engaged In the grent work of reconstruction were selected from the people of the Wand. The Cubans were taught government while the government was being built and thus they were able to run It when the rule of the Island was turned over to Its Inhabitants. When It became necessary to reor ganlie the Cuban railroads Wood se cured the services of Sir William Van Home, president of the Canadian Pa cific, and of Grnnvlllo M. Dodge, build er of the L'ulon PaelfleT The same general policy wn fol lowed In dealing with the problem of caring for the tens of thousands of orphans that had been left by the war, Homer Folks, commissioner of chari ties of the state of New York, was called to Culm by Wood to aid In tbV establishment of a system for placing and permanently caring for these lit tle desolates, Chief Justice White of the Supreme count of the United Slates, at that time an associate jus tice, was consulted as to the method to be pursued In reorganising the courts. Leonard Wood was In Cuba about four years, Ho left there a reorgan ized and sound banking system, a good railroad system, no debts, nearly $.1,000,000 unincumbered money In the treasury, a sugar crop of nearly 1,000,. 000 tons, sound municipal lnws, fine public works, n firm agricultural foundation and an absolute respect among the people for life and prop erty. The school system which Wood established wns founded on the lows of Massachusetts and Ohio. Roads were built which made communication speedy. The hospitals erected under his supervision were of the highest type. Lord Cromer sulci he wished this American officer wns available to fol low him In bis reconstruction work In Egypt. Ellhn Root said this work never was paralleled In colonial pos sessions anywhere. Theodore Roose velt said Hint Leonard Wood "has rendered services to Cuba of a kind which, If performed three thousand years ago, would have made him a hero mixed up with the sun god In va rious ways." Afler the Cuban experience Wood was for five years In the Philippines confronted, with the difficult labor of establishing a civil government, this time among a Mohammedan people. There he did the snme successful work he did In Cuba. This period' of residence In the Phil ippines gave Wood an opportunity to study conditions In the British colo nies, Romeo, Slngnporo, and to keep In close touph with conditions In .Inimn and along the China coast. Wood traveled through India, spent some time with the Dutch In Java, and with Lord' Cromer In 'Egypt, He stained ami retained knowledge of all which nt that time came under his stu dious observation, t Then Leonard Wood became chief of, the general stnff of the United States army, In whose hands rests very -largely the direction and admin filtration of the military establishment, which after all Is 00 per cent g busi ness matter, . , The administrative career of Leon ard Wood Is spread upon the records of his country., The work which he tins done Is lasting.

THE lake district of England, one of the most beautiful of regions, always has been l favorite resort of American tourists, not only because of Its nat ural attractions, but also on account of Its literary asioclatlons. First among recorded tourists to Lakeland was Gray, the poet, author of the "Elegy In a Country Church yard," -says Country Life. He visited the Westmoreland and Cumberland lakes In 1709, the year before Words worth, the most outstanding amoog the lake school of poets, was born. He discovered the lakes, alike In a touring and literary sense, and being essentially of the eighteenth century, he fled from them and the grandeur of their scenery In dismay. For not then had the picturesque been In vented. The beauties of wild nature were not appreciated, and had they been the roads of that age and the lark of proper accommodation were powerful deterrents. Cut for close upon century Lake land has been a greatly appreciated touring ground. Scenery and the lit erary associations with Wordsworth, Houtbey, Coleridge, De Qolncey and their circle, have attracted every type of holiday maker. First came the vacation reading parties of university students, then the honeymoon couples, to whom the Low Wood hotel, Amble side, wns once, In a sense, sacred; and then the railways brought tour ists from far and near. But not until the automobile came upon the roads was Lakeland comfortably or thor oughly to be explored. i " The tourist by motor car here has choice of every kind of road, or no road, and may, If he will, take bis sport In pass-storming with the most adventurous, or tuke his sight-seeing along roads as good as any In this country. It Is all a matter of taste and Inclination. The Ideal way of seeing Lakeland Is undoubtedly that of selecting some central spot at which to stay and taking from It dully, out and home, excursions. This Is so for several reasons; chief among them that of the somewhat limited arva'of the lake district, which may be stated at about thirty miles square. Th.' lakes figure so largely In popular im agination that this will seem scarcely credible; yet any reference to mnp will prove the truth of It, But It does not follow from this sheer muttcr-of-fiict measurement that this region Is easily seen or soon exhausted. Qrasmere In the Center. Exactly In the center of the lake district la Gnismere, central geographi cally, and In Its Interest, for It was Wordsworth's home, and In Its church yard he lies. There are Ave recognized centers for tourists in these regions: Windermere, Ambleside and Grasmere, about equi distant, some four miles from one an other ; Keswick, thirteen miles further north, und Conlston, somewhat Iso lated, seven miles southwest of Am bleside. It would be a thankless task to declare any preference among these, but we will take Grasmere as the very focus of the lnkes. Grasmere village Is n sweet and gra cious place. Here Wordsworth resided for more than fifty years. Ills mter homes here are not accessible, but Dove Cottnge, where he wrote his earliest and best, has been preserved as It was In his day, and is the resort of literary pilgrims, while the unpre tending church beside the River Rotha is much the same as he knew It. That is an Interesting day trip, along excellent roads, which takes us north to Cockermouth, the old market town at the extreme northerly edge of Lake land, where: his birthplace, In Main street, Is still shown. ' - The way runs by Dunmnll Raise to Wythburn, whose little church, one of the smallest In England, Is neighbored by the Nng's Head Inn, where the old dalesmen and their wives put up their horses while attending. service In olden times, The road then runs alongside Thlrlmere, with the Imposing moun tain, Helvellyn, 8,118 feet, on right. Keswick town comes next; a consid erable place for this part of the coun try, and with an oddly foreign appear ance, cnused fhiefly by the church like building" (really the town hall) In the middle of the street. The chief Industry Is the making of lead pen cils. ' ; Derwentwater Loveliest Lake.' But Derwentwater Itself Is the real reward of the journey. It Is generally considered the loveliest of all the lakes, and It Is also the most accessi ble, a good road encircling It. Beyond Keswick we pass Greta Hall, once the home of 'Sonthey, 'and come to Bas eenthwalte Water. Preferably taking the left-hand road, Sklddnw, 8,064 feet, Is seen across the water. Cocker mouth Isjsonie six miles further, i Returning from that town, the other side of Rassenthwulte Water may he taken, and Ihe rest of the way back to Grusmere Is hlentlcal with the out ward run. The distance, including the circuit of Derwentwater, Is about seventy-six miles. 4 But Derwentwater Is worth a more leisured trip, for Its own sake. The trip from Grasmere to Keswick and the circuit of Derwentwater and back Is thirty-five miles. The advantages are with the tourist proceeding to Keswick and there turning left and past the church, following the eastern side of the lake to Lodore, where the "Falls of Lodure," sung by Southey, will be found. Beyond we come to Shepherd's Crag, overhanging the road, and past the Borrowdale hotel and the narrow pass railed the "Juws of Bor rowdale," whose rocks so greatly olarnied Gray 150 years ago. At Grange where the River Derwent Bows out of Derwentwater, the road abruptly turns, to follow the western lakeside. In the pleasant vale at Grange Is that giant rock, the "Bowder Stone." The peculiar advantages of staying at Grasmere are many. Not least among them Is that within five miles you have not only Grasmere Itself, rivaling Derwentwutcr for loveliness, but Itydal Water, and the town of Am bleside, with Windermere, the largest and most popular of the lakes beyond. All ore within an easy walk for the tourist staying at Grasmere, who wlll scarce take out his car when he can Indulge In pleasant footpath rambled for a change. The car Is for farther afield. For' example, the run to Penrith, along Ullswater. The out and home run Is fifty-six miles. The best way from Grasmere Is to take the Windermere road, as far as Waterheud; thence turning to the left and up to Trout beck. ' The nearer route, up from Am bleside to Ktrkstone Pass, Is an ex ceedingly steep climb, but It can be tuken on the return. On the way to Ullswater the gloomy little mountain town of Brothers Wa ter Is passed, ami then comes the de scent to pleasant, sunny Patterdale. Here the seven miles long lake- of L'llswnter, the second longest of the hikes, begins, skirted all the way by a delightful road, with the wateffulil of Alra Force midway, spouting from Its woody glen. Ullswater ends at Pauley Bridge, whence It Is seven and a half miles Into the quaint old ninrket (Sown of Penrith, passing Inuwath Hall, now a farm house, but a good surr'tvlng specimen of the fifteenth century tor tilled border residence; and thienci? over the ancient Eamont Bridge, built In 1425. , FACTS AND FIGURES OF WAR Immensity of Supplies Needed In I lod: em Conflict Revealed by Sir , Douglas Haig. . .

The practice of doling out.money td the children by dribbles, when they tease for It, and without holding them to any responsibility In the matter of spending It, is undoubtedly responsible for most . ot the prevalent unthrlft among our youug .people.
