A VERY POPULAR CHINAMAN
training in the local schools, Wu went to England in 1874, where he studied
law and was admitted as a barrister. On his return to China he took high
rank as a lawyer while he was zealous in promoting modern enterprises and
was the leader in building the first railroad in that vast domain. His career
received a marked impulse from a visit to the United States in 1877. Five
years later he became viceroy of the province of Chihli.
When, in 1897, he came to Washington as minister from China he at once
won favor as a diplomat. His commission was addressed not only to the
United States, but to Spain, Mexico and Peru as well. While he was wel
comed at all the embassies in Washington beyond any other of their mem
bers, he was at home in all classes of society. His manners are elegant and
he is a first-class “mixer.”
At public banquets his style of oratory wins applause, while he drops the
formality of his colleagues from other lands and is not too proud to respond
to calls from men’s church clubs for familiar talks. He is skilled in the
learning of the 6rient and holds his own with western scholars, as the de
gree of LL. D. from the University of Pennsylvania bears witness. He uses
the English language with grace and force. Without loss of dignity he bub
bles with joyous humor, and is quick and skillful in repartee. A vegetarian
in practice, he argues that such a diet brings happiness and insures long
life.
His service as minister in Washington lasted for about seven years with
a brief interval, and in 1900 he distinguished himself In a peace mission to
Japan. His official receptions, if less formal than those of other chief em
bassies, were quite as elaborate and more largely attended. When he was
recalled on the change of government in Pekin, regret was more general ih
Washington than a gap in any other embassy would have caused.
DIPLOMAT OF THE VATICAN
land, Belgium and Italy, and won degrees in
philosophy, theology and canon law. While a young man he became a protege
of the late Pope Leo XIII and was sent by him on several important missions.
He was one of the representatives to the Holy See at the jubilee of Queen
Victoria, and at the funeral of Emperor William of Germany; and also repre
sented the Vatican at the jubilee of Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria and
at the coronation of the late King Edward of England. In 1892 he was ap
pointed Camerieri Segreto Participante, which is an office not unlike that
occupied by the lords-in-waiting to a King and which entailed his taking up
his residence within the Vatican itself. Previous to this he was appointed
by the Queen Regent of Spain as religious instructor to her daughters and
he prepared the present King, Alfonso, for his confirmation.
His most important mission was that to Canada in 1897, in connection
with the burning question of the Manitoba schools, a mission which was most
successfully accomplished’
Shortly after the death of Pope Leo XIII the present pontiff appointed
him secretary of state and he has had to deal with grave situations since In
France, Germany, Spain and Portugal. He is a linguist, speaking English,
Spanish, Italian, French and German fluently and is an indefatigable worker.
He was created a cardinal in 1893.
AUTHOR HONORED BY KING
would not have been seen afar. Were an edu
cated reader asked today to name the leading English novelist his choice
would be likely to fall upon Hardy, who began to be known to the general
reader in the early seventies, and who is still writing, though on different
lines from those of his earlier work.
He was born in 1840, and after a fair amount of schooling, including
private tuition in Latin and French, and evenings at King's college, was
articled to an ecclesiastical architect at the age of sixteen. He was prizeman
of the Royal Institute of British architects in 1863, but at that date had
■begun writing verse. His first novel was published in 1865. In 1872 appeared
“Under the Greenwood Tree,” the next year “A Pair of Blue Eyes” and “Far
From the Madding Crowd” in 1874, two years after his marriage to Emma,
niece of Archdeaecon Gifford.
Hardy has had other experience of life than that obtained as a student
of church architecture and as a writer. For years he served in the substan
tial capacity of justice of the peace for Dorset.
VIRGINIA’S NEW SENATOR
studied law, and five years after graduation was elected to Congress from the
Fifth Virginia district.
'■ He was elected Governor of Virginia in 1905 by a larger majority than
uy governor has received since the Civil war.
The opinion prevails that the appointment of
Wu Ting Fang to be councilor to the foreign
office will secure to his country sagacity, knowl
edge and adroitness not only; but also a profound
sense of justice in dealing with other nations.
Here he strove to keep China and the United
States close friends. In hiS new position he may
be trusted to labor for the peace of the world.
If all Chinamen were like Mr. Wu, no demand
could arise in any quarter for laws for the ex
clusion of Chinese. No other Chinaman ever
was so popular in this country as is Wu Ting
Fang. The fame was perhaps more nearly world
wide of Li Hung Chang, who gave Wu his first
office, which became the stepping stone in the
foreign and home service of the Chinese empire.

No man perhaps occupies a more prominent
place in the international limelight today than
the cardinal secretary of state of the Holy See,
his eminence Rafael Merry del Vai, whose
diplomatic dispute with Spain has engaged
world wide interest.
The cardinal is a Londoner by birth and the
blood of Celt, Briton and Spaniard flows through
his veins. His father, who was secretary of the
Spanish embassy in London when the cardinal
was born, is descended from an Irish family
which emigrated to Spain at the end of the
17th century, while his grandmother on the
mother’s side was a Miss Willcox, daughter of
a former member of the British Parliament.
Cardinal Merry del Vai was educated in Eng-
When at Marlborough house the other day
King George V. invested Thomas Hardy with the
order of merit, the act was not perfunctory or
inspired by political influence; it was a sincere
tribute of admiration from a reader to a favorite
author, for the king holds Hardy’s works In high
esteem and is said to be familiar with them all.
There is no indication at the present moment
that the reign of George V. will be remembered
especially for its contribution to literature, as
were the reigns of Elizabeth and Anne, or as was
the reign of Victoria. The great men of the Vic
torian era have all passed away, and now that
they are gone a lower sky line gives prominence
to some names that under earlier conditions,
though highly rated by limited constituencies,
Claude A. Swanson, former governor of Vir
ginia, has been named by Governor Mann to suc
ceed the late Senator Daniel, Virginia’s able
representative in the upper branch of the na
tional legislature. The term expires next March.
There was practically no opposition to the
selection of Mr. Swanson. He was serving as a
member of Congress when he was drafted by
the Virginia Democrats a few years ago to run
for governor. He will be a candidate for the
full term to succeed himself. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Swanson are social leaders in Richmond and
Washington.
Mr. Swanson was born March 31, "1862, in
Swansonville, Pittsylvania County, Va„ and he
has had a varied career. From college he went
to work as clerk in a Danville grocery, latef

he sawed away at a portion of the

“And I thought it was,” rejoined his

it shewed no indications of having cut

sores. One day it would seem to be
better, and then break out again with
the most terrible pain and Itching. I
have been sick several times, but
never in my life did I experience such
awful suffering as with this eczema. I
had made up my mind that death was
near at hand, and I longed for that
time when I would be at rest I had
tried many different doctors and medi
cines without success, and my mother
brought me the Cuticura Remedies, in
sisting that I try them. I began to
feel better after the first bath with
Cuticura Soap, and one application of

Why He Was Sorry.
To impress on young children just
what should and what should not be
done and why, is among the most try
ing problems of parents, as evidenced
by the recent experience of a West
Philadelphia mother. Last Sunday
she asked her small son, aged eight, to
carry a chair for her from the dining
room to the parlor. He started off
willingly, but in the hall he tripped
and fell. Amid the crash could be
heard the boy giving vent to utter
ances that would have done credit to
a pirate of ancient days. The mother
was taken by surprise and was greatly
shocked. She gave the boy a long
and serious talk on the subject of pro
fanity. This apparently did not make
the right impression, for when she
concluded the boy adder to her dis
comfiture by exclaiming, “I am sorry
I swore, mamma, but I forgot it was
Sunday.”
All the Difference.
The professor was delivering an elo
quent address on cruelty to animals,
and to illustrate how a little judicious
forethought would eliminate to a great
extent the sufferings that even small
insects are subject to, said:
“As I was coming through the hall
tonight I saw’ a bald-headed gentleman
very harshly treat a little innocent
house-fly which had alighted on his
head.
“Now, if there was any justification
for such bad temper, I would be quite
justified in Indulging in it at the pres
ent moment, for a’ fly has just alighted
on the back of my head. I can’t see
it, but I can feel it.
“Possibly some of you can see ft

it is coming down my brow’; now it is
coming on to my— G-r-r-eat pyramids

as proof that concentrated nicotine

Senator Smoot of Utah tells a story
on the late E. H. Harriman, which
sounds somewhat familiar. He says
that when the Salt Lake cut-off was
completed Mr. Harriman took a large
part}’ of big railroad men out to it.
They had their pictures taken at
the right spot scenically. Mr. Harri
man stood at one end of the group.
When the pictures were printed and
the photographer brought them around
the railroad men examined them.
“Why,” shouted one of the guests,
“where’s Mr. Harriman?”
“Do you mean that little chap that
stood at the end?” asked the photog
rapher. "Why, I cut him off.”
