A CHRISTMAS MINUEr.

When silver flutes and violins
In Christmas land are signing
A dreamy waltz that sets the feet
OF youths and maidens flying.
I see among the plain black coats
And girlish rosebud faces
Strange figures Of the long ago
Come out and take their places.
In stomsehers and gay brocedes

In buckled shoes and velvet suits

They tread a stately minuet,
The courtliest Of dances,
Aud underneath the mistletoe
Renew their old romancos
When chimes are rung and carols sunl
And snow the landscape covers,
The spirit Of the olden time
Around the holly hovers,
Then every shadow to my gaze
A powdered. head discloses,
And all tho air is family sweet
With lavender and, roses.
With lifted skirts of pink and blue.

THROUGH NIGHT AND STORM
RooseveIt's Dash From Mount
Marcy to Buffalo.
(By the Associated Press.)

Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 14.-When Theo-
dore Roosevelt an dis guides left Taha-
wus Club yesterday morning on hunt
ing expedition, the then Vice President
fully believed that President Mckinley
was entirely out of danger and on the
rapid road to recovery. The hunting
party moved in the direction of Mount
Marcy, the highest peak in the Adiron-
dack region. They had not been gone
over three hours when mounted cour-
icr rode rapidly into Tahawus Club with
messages to the Vice President stating
that President Mckinley was in critl-
cal condition The messages had been
telegraphed to North Creek and from
there telephoned to a point seven miles
south of Tahawus Club.
Extra guides and runners were at once
deployed from the club in the direction
OF Mount Marcy, with instructions to
sound general alarm in order to find
the Vice President as soon as possible.

climbing guides, as hour after hour pass
cd away, marked the progress of the
searching mountaincers as they climbed
the slope OF Mount Marcy.
Just as the afternoon began to merge
with the shades of carly evening and as
the searchers were nearing the summit
of the lofty mountain the responsive
echoes of distant signals were heard and
answered and gradually the scouts and
the Roosevelt party came within hailing
distance of each other.
When Colonel Roosevelt was reached
and informed of the critical condition of
the President he could scarcely believe
the burden of the messages personally
delivered to him. Startled at the seri-
Gus nature of the news, the Presi-
dent, at 5:45 o'clock Immediately started

and superintendent C. o. Hammond of

Soon after Colonel Roosevelt started
night came on and rendered the trip ex-

impenetrable darkness, but the expert

to his objective point
Not until he dashed up to the special
train at North Creek at 5:22 o'clock this
morning, did he learn that President
Mcinley had passed away at Buffalo at
2:15 o'clock. Mr. Loeb, his Secretary,
was the first to break the news to him.
The new President was visibly affected
by the intelligence and expressed a de-
sire to reach Buffalo as soon possiable.
Within one minute after his arrival at
North Greek he boarded the special train
which at once pulled out in the direction
OF Buffalo, via Saratoga and Albany. He

ent in Buffalo, all except two, to
request that for reasons OF weight
affecting the affairs Of Government
you should proceed to take the
Constitutional oath of President
of the United States"
Judge Hazel had stepped to the
rear Of the President and Mr.
Roosevelt, coming closed to Secre-
tary Root, said in a voice that at
first wavered, but finally came deep
and strong, while as if to control
his nervousness he held firmly to
the lapel of his coat with his right
hand:
II shall take the oath at once IN
accordance with your request and
in this hour of deep and terrible
national bereavement I wish to
state that it shall be my aim to
continue absolutely unbroken the
policy Of President Mckinley for
the peace and prosperity and hon.
or of orr beloved country"
ROOSEVELT TAKES THE OATH.
The President stepped farther
into the bay window and Judge
Hazel, taking IL pthe Constitution
al oath of office, which had been
prepared on parchment asked the
President to raise his right hand
and repeat it after him. There was
hush like death in the room as

exception of the commanding Off

The President was attired in a
black frock coat and dark striped
trousers and wore silk hat. He
peared to feel both the so1emnity
tiles for him.
He alightcd at the Milburn House
at exactly 2:3S o'clock. He was
accompanied to the house by his
host, Mr. Ansley Wilcox, and one
OF the secret service force.
President Roosevelt came out of
the Milburn House at 2:56 and
drove to the Wilcox home, reach
ing there at 3:15. A ten minutes
wait for the members of the Cabi-
net ensued and preparations were
made for taking the oath of office.
WITH THE CABINET.
The place selected was the IL
brary of Mr.. Wilcox's house, a
rather small room, but picturesque,
the heavy oak trimmings and the
massive book cases giving it some
what the appearance of a legal den.
A pretty bay window with stained
glass and heavy hangings formed
a background and against this the
President took his position. Sur
rounding him were the five MEM
hers of the Cabinet, Secretaries
Root, Hitchcock, Long, Wilson and
Postmaster General Smith. Nearby
were Senator Chauncey M. Depew,
Judge of the Court of Appeals

Judge Hazel stood near the Pres

latter showed his almost extreme
nervousness by pluckiIlg at the
lapel of his long frock coat and
nervousiy tapping the hardwood
flor with his heel. He stepped
over once to Secretary Root and for
about FIVE minutes they conversed
earnestly. The question at issue
was whether the President should
first sign an oath Of office and then
swear or whether he should swear
