him as a New York dude, but that did
not last long. After a man named Do
Mores had broken up gang of horse
thieves and desperadoes, and had left
the country, some of the gang made
attempts to reorganize. They were
openly aided by the sheriff.
Colonel Roosevelt called a meeting
of all the ranchers nearby, summoned
the sheriff, and, with his gun in his
hand, called that official a liar and a
horse thief. A tenderfoot didn't often
get a chance to use such language
twice, but the sheriff had to take his
medicine and resign.
On his own ranch, too. he showed
the stuff from which he was made. He
bought the most unmanageable cow
ponies he could find in the country and
when his men grumbled at having
to ride them, the dude" picked out
the worst horse of the lot and broks
it. At one time he was thrown and
four of his ribs were fractured, but
he picked himself up, remounted and
conquered the beast before dressing
| his injuries
His shooting, too, won the respect OF
| the rough ranchmen. Colonel Roose~
welt cannot see ten yards in front on
| him without MS glasses, ana is IL poor
shot with revolver. but give him al
rifle and a long range shot and he can
do some fancy work. Further than
this, he won his mems admiration by
putting on the gloves with the big
gest and toughest cow-punchers on
| his ranch.
HIS PHILOSOPHY.
He has summed up his philosophy OF
| life in his own words.
IF you could speak commandingly
| to the young men of our nation" he
| was asked on one occasion. what
would you say to them?" His reply
| was:
"Td order them to work. I'd try
| to develop and work out an ideal OF
mine--the theory of the duty of the
leisure class to the community. l have
| tried to do 1t by example, and 1t ia

Englishman one pair TO read with,
one TO shoot with and another to walk
with When the bear charged us he
had on his walking glasses; and when
l told him that the beast was upon him
he coOlly took off these glasses, folded
them up, put them away in his pocket,
took out and wiped his shooting
glasses, and put them on as quietly
and deliberately as if there was not a
bear in the whole country
by the time he had got his glasses
adjusted the bear was near, but he
pulled up his gun and killed him in his
tracks. and did not seem in the least
bit excited"
Many good stories are told of Colonel
Roosevelt's care of his precious eye
glasses. One of the Rough Riders tells
this tale:
Colonel Roosevelt had been in the
habit of wearing noseglasses with a
black silk cord attached, but the ar
rangement was entirely unsuited to a
campaign, where the glasses them
selves would be liable to fall off con-
stantly and the cord to catch on twigs.
So he substituted very large, round
spectacles with steel hooks for the ears,
and had a dozen pairs mounted. These
he planted around his person and
equipment, trying to distribute them
so no one accident could include them
all. One pair was sewed in his blouse,
another in his belt, another in his hat,
two I'm his saddle-bags and so on.
AT the fight at Guasimas his horse
was barked by a bullet while held by
an orderly and plunged frantically
against tree. Colonel Roosevelt came
rushing up, all anxiety. and began
prying under the saddle flap.
"'They haven't hurt the nag, sir"
said the orderly.
"I know replied the colonel, with
tears in his voice, but blast 'em,
| they've smashed by specs!N

PENDING ELECTIONS.
Those In Canada Expected to Have
Important Bearing.

New York, Nov. 5.-The pending Ca
madam elections are bound to have a
most important bearing upon the future
Of the dominion and promises an unus-
ually large vote of the Canadian electOr-
ate, says an Ottawa dispatch to the
World.
The sympathies of the British press
strongly favor the Laurier government,
as does the sentiment of the independent
portion of the Canadian press
Among the matters which the cleo
lions will materially affect is one of
great Importance to Canada, viz: The
immediate development of the transpor-
tat1on projects which the government
since 1t took office, has boldly promo
ted.
The opposition of the Conservatives to
the transportation policy fnaugurated
by the government. involving as it does
the expenditure of enormous sums OF
public money indicates a less aggressive
action along these lines should Sir
Charles Topper regain power in Canada
The aim Of the Laurier administration
IS TO avert the great bulk of the carry
ing trade of the west from American
channels into Canadian WATERWAYS and
over Canadian railways to Canadian
ports of shipment. To attain this end
immense sums Of public money have
been appropriated.
Recently the canals of the upper ST.
Lawrence have been deepened to admit
OF the passage of vessels with a draught
of IA feet, whereby it is anticipated that
a large volume of trade will be drawn
away from Buffalo and New York. 1t
IS also confidently expected that the
great manufacturers Of Chicago, Cleve-
land and Pittsburg and other United
states ports will charter boats direct to
Liverpool. England. via the port of
Montreal and return
A steady increase of trade following
the deepening of the canal system. is
now looked for, and Montreal is expect
ed to become the rival of Buffalo
Moreover, the tendency of all the new
Canadian projects is to work from the
Georgian bay as the terminal Of the deep
water navigation of the upper lakes
Probably 300 miles of transportation is
saved by trans-shipping at Georgian bay
points, instead of at Buffalo
me opening, a few days ago, Of the
Great Northern railway, with its termi-
nus at Quebec, provides railway facili-
ties for handling through traffic from
Parry Sound. This new rail route will
place freight from the west alongside
ocean ships at Quebec without breaking
bulk, and it is predicted that it will
prove most important factor in the
governments plan for the diversion of
the western traffic into Canadian trans
pOrtatiOn channels
In connection with this railway a fleet
or five great ocean steamships of IS 900
tons each has been engaged to operate
from the port of Quebec next year.
