Indians, but more likely by native New
Workers; the scarlet silk handkerchief,
ivory-handled revolver, the blood
curdling knife thrust through the cart

MALTA of the cowboys hero. When
Roosevelt, dressed in his gaudy and
personally selected hunting costume,
reached the far West and made his ap
pearance among the untrammeled citi-
zens around Little Missouri River he
was looked upon as a tenderfoot of
very elementary brand. The toughs
who proposed to show him a thing or
two arranged among themselves, in
their own expressive language, ito take
some of the frills out of the New York
tenderfoot." A well-known character
approached Roosevelt and asked him
what he intended to do, what kind of
game he was after. The New Yorker
said he was after grizzlies, and it was
soon noised about the camp that the
-four eyed tenderfoot" was looking for
big game.
The hardest man in the vicinity sent
word to Roosevelt that he couldn't
shoot any grizzlies in that territory,

Conkling described as that dentif1cial

Defeated as candidate for Mayor,
Mr.. Roosevelt next appears as a Ma
tional Civil Service Commissioner, and
here again his party found him stu
dious, untiring, capable and efficient.
This appointment was made in 1889 by
President Harrison, when Roosevelt
was barely 80. Two years later, in 1891
(the fourth stage of Mr.. Roosevelts
remarkable life), he appears as a hun
ter of big game. When Theodore
Roosevelt concluded to hunt grizzly
bears he naturally decided to do so in
what he considered proper costume,
and it is most interesting to see the
dramatic instinct again dominating

DONE
There are seven distinct stages In the
career Of this unusual man.
In seven different roles Theodore
Roosevelt has given evidence Of the at
tributes, in greater or less degree,
that make him to-day perhaps the most
talked-of man of 40 in the world.
OF aristocratic birth, a member OF a
family distinguished for valor, pa
triotism and culture for many genera
lions, young Roosevelt first sued for
public favor when he appeared as can
didate for Assemblyman. He was then
just out of college, 1879. Even his OPP
ponentS admit that he was a Jealous
servant of his own party-an unwaver-
ing Republican. He was then, as now,
athletic and remarkable for his bound
less energy, his interest in people and
things and his unfailing enthusiasm.
The second stage of Mr.. Roosevelt's
public career was that in which he an
nounced himself as candidate for Mayor
of New York. A man of his tempera-
ment would be apt to jump a little too
high after tasting the delights of sue
cess. and success he certainly had
achieved as Assemblyman. 1t was
very characteristic that he should, with
his belief in himself. consider the Office
of Mayor one which he was equipped
to FIJI. but unquestionably If Mr. Roose-
welt were consulted to-day he would
agree with his friends that his defeat
in this race was beneficial to him.
The egotism of young Mr.. Roosevelt,
as he was known at this time, irritated
Roscoe Conkling extremely and brought

man. in question would be informed
and proposed to shoot Roosevelt at
sight. When this message was con-
veyed to the blue-eyed tenderfoot he
seemed greatly pleased and looking
eagerly through his glasses he in
quired of his informant where the bad
man lived"
Immediately upon receiving the de-
sired information Roosevelt rode over
to see the man who proposed to shoot
him. When he reached the camp of the
individual in question the bad man"
had forgotten why he intended to shoot
and was very much DISPOSED to be
amiable with the tenderfoot from the
East. Mr.. Roosevelt not only wore
costume which he considered appro-
pirate for ldllin~ grizzlies, but he actu-
ally killed more bears than the best Of
the bad men," and his unquestioned
bravery and fearlessness won him, as
it always does with the Bret Harte
type of man, unbounded respect and
love. What the men of the West
thought of the tenderfoot was shown

Star lines latest venture. For years
past the intention of the company to
build a boat of fabulous size, to be
called the Gigantic, has been rumored.
Year after year the company has built
larger and better boats, but the myth
ical Gigantic was always in the fu-
ture. The Majestic and the Teutonic
Were, each in their turn, looked upon
as the highest triumphs of the ship
builders art and the thousands of pas
sengers who crossed the Atlantic in
these vessels testified to their luxur-
ious appointments and splendid sea-go-
ing qualities
Only one step further forward was
necessary to produce the gigantic Gee
anic, now being built by Messrs. Har-
land & Wolff at Belfast. This firm,
it may be mentioned incidentally. has
produced most of the famous Atlantic
liners, especially the White Star boats,
every one of which, in her time, has
been a record breaker.
The mere size of the Oceanic is over
whelming. She is to be 704 feet long,
or "a feet longer than the Great East
ern, and her gross tonnage will be
about 1900 tons. To walk from her
bow to her stern and back again means
stroll of 500 yards so that any one
who accomplishes this trip three times
will have nearly covered a mile. She
will have, as her picture shows, only
three light pole masts, as sail power
is useless in a vessel of this class.
Every appliance known to modern en-
cheering has been introduced into this
enormous steel ship.

room, lighted by electricity at night.
where all the plans for the vessel are
prepared. Then they 70 to the mold
ing loft, where every frame required
for the ship is traced on the floor in
full size. From this mold, or shape.
of light timber is prepared and the iron
worker copies this exactly. The re-
suit is that the element of chance is
entirely eliminated. The exact size and
shape of every piece of the great ves-
sci is known beforehand to the frac-
ton of an inch. The builders can, with
absolute certainty, predict the weight
and draught of the craft, and knowing
the horsepower her engines will develop
can state to the fraction Of a knot the
speed she will attain.

THEoDoRE RoosEvELT's re-


turn to his home and family at
Oyster Bay L. l.. in triumph as
colonel of the Rough Riders was
Enthusiastically picturesque.
The dramatic instinct is one of
the keynotes of Mr.. Roosevelt's sue
cess. 1t is that which makes him al
ways interesting, always surprising, al
ways leading to a climax or tableau.
He knows intuitively the peoples love
of pageantry, their admiration for
splendid acts of heroism, their pleasure
in pomps and ceremonies, and Colonel
Roosevelt moves naturally to the CEN
ter of the stage in any new situation,
so that the eyes of the multitude focus
upon him.
A man Of Mr.. Roosevelt's makeup,
with his fine chest, straight legs, hon
est blue eyes, sparkling teeth; a man
with his magnificent virility, with his
extraordinary record of achievements,
due in no sense to others, may be par
doned If he believes good deal in him
self. The more impressive the spectacle
in which he is to take a leading role
the more necessary is the superb and
admirable egotism which is, after all,
the secret of the success of all great
leaders of men.
Mr.. Roosevelt likes to dress for his
part. A good many have thought and
said that his costume was the chief
preparation Mr.. Roosevelt made for his
various roles. That is what they said
when he went TO the Dakota bad
lands" as cowboy, attired in theatre
cal cowboys toys. That is also what
they said when he assumed a disguise
and spent his nights in seeing that the
patrolmen and captains of the police
force were fulfilling their duties ac-
cording to the Police Commissioners
understanding of them. That's also
what they said when, true to his dra-
matte instincts, Theodore Roosevelt re-
signed his office as Assistant Secretary
of the Navy to organize his now ia
nous band of Rough Riders.
When Mr.. Roosevelt, after his return
from Cuba, reached his home at Oyster
Bay he appeared in the worn costume
Of the Rough Rider. When his charm
ing wife and six little children met the
hero-for that at least he is in their

INFIRMARY FOR STUDENTS
Harvard University to Have One
in Cambridge.

Instead of allowing their students TO
be taken to the General Hospitals some
of the larger colleges are now building
infirmaries of their own to which stud
ents only are TO be admitted. Some
colleges and preparatory schools in the
East already have small iniirmaries in
their regular dormatories. Harvard
University in Cambridge now proposes
to establish a well appointed hospital
at a distance from the college grounds.
The committee in charge now has
money enough for the purchase Of a
building site.
The plans provide for a building Of
brick, with stone trimmings, two and
a half stories in height. with a front
age of i6 feet and length of about
1870 feet. In addition to the single
rooms for students, there will be a
library and reading-room for GONZALES
cents, rooms for the parents whose
sons are patients in the infirmary.
bathrooms and laboratories. The pro-
ject is largely philanthropic one, for,
while those students who are able to
pay will be charged, the iniirmary will
be free to the poorer students.
