gave one day Of the six to visiting the
poor in their homes. Apparently the
analogy between father and son might be
carried farther, to include even the ia
nous round-robin; for, upon the same
authority, it was the elder Theodore
Roosevelt who went to Washington after
the first Bull Run and warned President
Lincoln that he must get rid OF Simon
Cameron as secretary of war. with the
result that Mr.. Stanton. the "Organizsr
Of Victory" took his place. When the
war was fairly under way, it was Theo-
dore Roosevelt who organized the allot-
ment plan, which saved to the families
of $4,000 soldiers OF New York State
more than 100000 Of their pay; and
when the war was over he protected the
soldiers against the sharks that lay in
wait for them, and saw to it that they
got employment.
That was the father. have told you
what the son is like. A man with red
blood in his veins; healthy patriot,
with no clap-t,ap 'jingoism about him,
but rugged belief in America and it's
mission; an intense lover Of country and
flag, vigorous optimist. believer in
men, who looks for the good in them and
findsi it. Practical in partisanship; loyal,
trusting, and gentle as friend; unset
fish, modest as woman, clean-handed
and clean hearted, and honest to the
core. In the splendid vigor OF his young
manhood he is the knightIest figure 10
American politics today, the fittest ex-
ponent Of his country's idea, and the
m odel for its young sons who are coming
to take up the task he set than. For
their sake am willing to give him up
aud set him where they can all see aud
strive to bs like him. S, we shall have
little need OF bothering about boss rule
aud misruls hereafter. We shall farm
out the job of running the machine no
longer; we sh all be able to run it our
selves.
When it cones to that, the Vice-Pres.
idency is not going to kill Theodore
Roosevelt. 1t will take good deal
more than that to do it .-Rsprinted by
permission from the American Monthly
Review of Reviews for August, 1900.

1t was notably 30 with the round robin
in Cuba asking the Government to re-
call the perishing army when it had won
the fight. People shook their reads,
and talked OF presidents. Precedents!
1t mas been Rooseveltis business to
make them most of his time. But is
there any one today who think he set
that one wrong? Certainly no one who
with me saw the army come home. 1t
did not come day too soon
When he had done bis work for the
ships and resigned his Office to take the
field, the croakers shouted that at last
he had made the mistake OF his life;-
all to get into scrap. His men didn't
think so when he lay with them in the
trenches before Santiago, sharing his
last biscuit with them. They got to
know him there, and to love him. /
know what it cost him the leave his
sick wife and his babies. / wanted to
keep him at home. but l saw him 60
with pride, because l knew he went at
the call Of duty. He thought the war
just and right. He had done what he
could to bring it on as the only means
OF stopping the murder in Cuba, and he
went to do his share OF the iyhting as q
matter of right and Of example to the
young men to whom he was a type Of
the citizen auo the patriot. As that
type when be came home, we made him
our governor in New York state. We
ran him on the pledge Of his record
the pledge of honesty, manhood, and
courage; and he kept the pledge. /
shall let some one else tell the story OF
that. Just let me recall the last trip We
took together. because it was so much
like the old days in Mulberry street.
There had arisen a contention as to
whether the factory inspector did his
duty by the sweat-shops or not, and
from the testimony he was unable to
decide. So he came down from Albany
to see for himself. 1t was a sweltering
hot day when he made a tour OF the
stewing tenements on the downtown
east side. / doubt if any other gov
ernor that ever was would attempt it.
/ know that none ever did. But he
never shirked one of the twenty houses
we had marked out for exploration.
He examined the evidence Of each
while the tenants wondered who the
stranger was who took 80 much interest
in their Affairs; and as the result he was
able to mark out course for the fac
tory inspector that ought 10 double and
bile the efficiency OF his office and
bring untold relief to hundred thous-
and tenement house workers-if it is
followed when Roosevelt is 20 longer in
Albany. That will be our end OF it: to
see to it that he did not labor in vain.
That is Roosevelt as saw him daily
during those good years when things
we had hoped for were done. There

riders" the picturesque account OF that
picturesque regiucri in the last war
which testify to his Gn,iring energy as
a recorder as well as maker OF history
The secret of that is the story OF the
police force and the sweat shops oveI
again: his enjoyment OF the work. II
we're to sum the man and his achieve
ments up in sentence, i think should
put it that way. But that would not
mean an accident OF the Dutch and
Huguenot and Irish blood that 60 to
make up bus heredity. 1t would mean
OF itself an achievement. Theodore
Roosevelt r7as born a puny child. He
could not keep up with the play OF
other children, or learn 30 easily as they.
He had to make himself what he is,
and With the indomitable will that
characterized the boy as it does the
man, he set about it. He became at
once an athlete and a student. When
he joins the two, he is at his best. His
accounts OF life on the Western plains,
of hunting in the Bad Lands Of Dakota,
where he built his ranch on the banks
OF the Little Missouri, are written out of
the mau's heart.
Mr.. Rcosevelt's recent protest against
the impairment intrusion of the camera
fiend upon the seclusion OF his home
life at Oyster Bay was perfectly char
scteristic Of him, and of his way Of say
ing the right thing at the right time.
The whole country applsuded it. In
his home Mr.. Roosevelt ceases to be
governor Of the Empire State, and be-
comes husband and father, the com
panion Of his children, who treat him
like their big. overgrown brother. His
love for children, especially for those
who have not SO good time as some
others. is as instructive as his compan-
ionship of all that needs lift. l
doubt If he is aware of it himself. He
does not recognize as real sympathy
what he feels rather as sense of duty.
Yet l have seen him, when school chill
dren crowded around the rear platform
of the train from which he had been
making speeches, to shake hands. catch
the eye Of poor little crippled girl in a
patched frock, who was making frantic
but hopeless efforts to reach him in the
outskirts OF the crowd, and, pushing
aside all the rest, make a way for her
to the great amusement of the curled
darlings in the front row. And on the
trip home. on the last night of the can
vas Of 1895, when we were at dinner in
his private car, busy reckoning up ma
joritiee, l saw him get up TO greet the
engineer Of the train, who came in his
overslls and blouse to shake hands,
with such pleasure as / had not seen
him show in the biggest meeting we had
had. 1t was coincidence and an omen
that the name of the engineer of that
victorious trip was Dewey.
That bent of his is easily enough ex-
planned. There hangs in his study at
Oyster Bay, apart from the many tro-
phies OF the chase, the picture Of man
with strong. bearded face.
"That is my father" said Mr.. Roose-
welt. He was the finest man / ever
knew. He was q merchant, well-to do,
drove his four finland through the park
and enjoyed life immensely. He had
such good time, and with cause, for he
was good man. 1 remember seeing
him going down Broadway, staid and
business man that he was,
with q poor little sick kitten in his coat.

Wedding Supper in Cairo.

After a Mohammedan wedding the bridegroom sees the face of his un- known bride for the first time i'll her apartment. As he enters the bride sa- lutes him by kissing his hand Her head is covered by a veil, which he re- moves, at the same time presenting jewels to her which are termed the price of the uncoyering of the face. " He then spreads the veil on the floor and kneels on it while he says pray CT. the bride in the meantime stand ing on it's edge behind him. At the close of the prayer they seat them selves on a divan, and an old attend. ant shows them in a mirror the re- fiection of their united faces. Supper is eaten by the happy pair alone, but not until the bride, after every de- vice known to the bridegroom is used, can be induced to speak. Once she ut ters word he claps his hands and SUD- per is brought to them. Meat is not used at this meal because of a belief that it would lead Co future picker ings between them. Eggs, sweets and fruits are served.

FIRST MACHINE TOOL.
Potter Wheel Appears on Monument
 of Ancient Egypt.

Potter Wheel Appears on Monument
 of Ancient Egypt.
 There can be very little doubt that it is also termed, represents today the most ancient form of machine tool known. Among the many sculptured records K the trades and occupations which so viyidly represent the customs and habits of the ancient Egyptians, the potter and his wheel have been found frequently depicted and it is curious to note that through the al- most countless generations since that time this crude type of lathe has un- dergone no material modification. The primitive form was evidently small round table, set on pivot, and free to revolVe, being turned by hand at in- teryals; and to this device there were added in the course of time such sim ole conyeniences as a table to support it and foot or hand power turning arrangement, displaced, in recent years, in possibly few isolated cases, by actual engine power driving. In general use, however, the potter's wheel of the present time bears all the characteristics of the one which, 4,000 years or more ago, served 70 turn out pottery attesting unsurpassable taste and skill. It is curious, too, that in none of those ancient records are there shown examples of the forerunner of the common turning lathe as we know it today, even though the art of turn ing may be traced back to very re- mote period. Among Egyptian antiq- uities thai have been found at Thebes aHd other cities there have been many specimens which exhibited indubitable signs that the material, while in revolution, was subjected to the action of tool held at rest-legs of stools and chairs, for example, and lamps and musical instruments-and in later centuries, among the Greeks and Romans, the lathe was undoubted- ly in common use. Unfortunately. however, none of these early writers have left any account of the lathes and tools employed by their contem- poraries.-Cassier's Magazine.

They Talk by whistiing.

Gomera, one of the Canary islands, is small island containing about 12,000 inhabitants. It is exceedingly rugged in formation, and the deep gorges and ravines which separate it's mountain ranges are unbridged, and, therefore, it may be necessary to travel several miles in order to reach point only few hundred yards distant. There fore, to obviate the necessity of doing this, the inhabitants have developed whistling language, by means of which tive men standing on opposite sides of the gorge can convey their meaning to each other. The teeth and fingers are used as we'll as the lips. Communica- tions are made by notes in the whistle corresponding to syllables. The whis- tie, of course, carries much farther. and is much more distinct than artie- ulate speech could possibly be under the cireumstances.-Stra Stories.

A curious circumstance concerning tEe body Of Admiral spotts has been reported from the Falkland Islands, where he died seventeen years ago. The Falkland physician who attended him during his fatal illness was pres ent at the exhumanation of the body when the cruiser Badger was sent for it this year The coffin had disap- peared, but he corpse was absolutely unchanged, even the features having retained the exact appearance that they presented on the day of death. This wonderful preservation was due to the action of the peat water which saturates the islands. It had em- balmed the body completely.
