days in school out of the So5. This is
wrong. If we are to raise up our boys
and girls and fit them to take their
proper places in the great onward
march of the South, we must give them
good foundation in the school room.
and give 1t TO them early. Jones

 Russell attended school as other chill dren do and Is in the third grade in the Robinson Street School in Binghamton. His ability and quickness are highly praised by his teachers. Some might think that the boys appearance would be repulsive. It is surprising to unex- pectedly see him do certain things, but repulsive he is not.

WHITE HOUSE FAMILY BELIEVES
 STRONGLY IN OUTDOOR EXERCISE

Washington, November s0.-The out door life of President Roosevelt's family pings all the members of the White House circle in close touch with the rest of the world at the capital No President has ever lived more ostentatiously and more in the gaze of the Washington public than Mir Roosevelt. This is largely due to the fact that his example of outdoor exercise is followed by Mrs. Roosevelt and all Of the children.
 Promptly at 4:90 o'clock every day, ex- cept Sunday, Colonel Roosevelt's fine sad dle horse Bleistein is led to the curb in front of the White House steps. Some times, if the crowd is large, as it is on visiting days, the President has his horse brought around the back way and slips of for his ride unrecognized
 Usually, however, he runs briskly down the front steps, wearing his ordinary of flee suit of black. and his soft, black felt hat He bolts into the saddle like a shot, and is off yards ahead of the se- cret service officer, who follows him on a second horse.
 Sometimes the President rides with his | brother-in-laws, Douglass Robinson or | Commander Cowles.
 Bleistein is a big, powerful bay. and | has been the Presidents saddle horse for l two years. His feet stand the Washing ton pavements well, and he is perhaps the finest piece of horsehesh that has been in. the White House stables since President Arthur's day
 Mrs Roosevelt rides we'll, and some- times accompanies her husband on Yeaesenka, her own saddle horse a
