ROOSEVELT AS A HUNTER.

When Roosevelt, dressed in his gau-
dy and personally selected hunting cos
tune, made his appearance among the
untrammeled citizens 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 eX-
pressive language, ito take some of the
frills out of the New York tenderfoot."
4 well known character approached
Roosevelt and asked him what he in
tended to do and 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
and that If he attempted to the "bad
man" in question would be Informed
and proposed to shoot Roosevelt at
sight.
When this message was conveyed to
the blue eyed tenderfoot, he seemed
greatly pleased, and, looking eagerly
through his glasses, he inquired of his
informant "where the bad man lived"
Immediately upon receiving the desired
information Roosevelt rode over to see
the man who proposed to shoot him.
When he reached the camp Of the in
dividual in question, the dad 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 a cos.
tune which he considered appropriate
for killing grizzlies, but he actually
killed more bears than the best Of the

He Wasn't Deported,

Shortly after the Chinese exclusion
acI was passed the secretary of state
received a letter from Pennsylvania,
signed by a Chinaman. The writer
said that he had been Interested in
this legislation and that he fell within
the conditions of this act He had
come to this country under false pre-
lenses, and hence he should be deport-
ed Immediately. The request was so
strange that the secretary of state or
dered an investigation. The agent re-
ported few days later that the Chi
naman's statement about the way in
which he entered this country was cor
rect and that he should be deported.
There was just one drawback to this
programme, however. The Chinaman
had been convicted of murder and SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment.

that country the coffee is roasted fresh
every morning in a covered shovel kept
in constant motion over the fire. A bit
of sailed butter added after the roast

The French, too, have made their
reputation for excellent coffee by using
butter while roasting it. A piece Of

THE ROOSEVELT HOMESTEAD.

Vice President Roosevelt's homestead
near Oyster Bay, n. Y, is an ideal
country seat, aud the Roosevelt fami-

The approach to the house, through
forest and meadow, is beautiful and

the magnificent panorama is revealed.

When Mr.. Roosevelt decided to come
back to New York again, Mrs. Roose-
welt felt badly at breaking up her life
in Washington, but, as usual, said
nothing and allowed herself to be car
ried away by her husbands enthusi-
asm over his new field of work and
came back to New York and took up
her life where she had left it before.
AS is well known, the life here was
short, and back again they went to

RoosEvELTs ROUGH RIDERS.

Naturally enough, Roosevelt would
not be content to sit behind a desk
while there was fighting going on. He
submitted his resignation to the presi-
dent on April Is and tried to get an ap-
pointment upon General Lees staff.
Then came the rough rider idea, the
seventh phase of Roosevelt's career,
hardly thought of before twas realized.

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Something New Under The SUM-"

All Doctors have tried to cure
Catarrh by the use of powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste form.
Their powders dry up the mucuous
membranes causing them to crack open
and bleed. The powerful acids used in
the inhalers have entirely eaten away
the same membranes that their makers
have aimed to cure, while pastes and
Oiutments cannot reach the disease.
An old and experienced practitioner
who has for many years made a close
study and speciality of the treatment of
Catarrh, has at last perfected a treat
ment which, when faithfully used, not
only relieves at once, but permanently
cures Catarrh, by removing the cause,
stopping the discharges, and curing all
Inflammation. 1t is the only remedy
known to science that actually reaches
the afflicted parts. This wonderful
remedy is known as "Snuffies the
Guaranteed Catarrh Cure, i" and is sold
at the extremely low price of one dol
lar, each package containing internal
and external medicine sufficient for a

Interesting Career and
Home Life Of the
New President of
the United
States.

Theodore Roosevelt, the new presi-
dent of the United States, is one of
the most remarkable men in this coun-
try. His career, which from the outset
has been a most strenuous one, may
be divided into nine phases or stages,
leading up TO the tenth as president,
upon the duties of which he is Just en-
tering.
In nine different roles he has given
evidence of the attributes that make
him today perhaps the most talked of
man OF. forty three in the world.
OF aristocratic birth, a member of
family distinguished for valor, patri-
otism and culture for many genera
tons, young Roosevelt first sued for
public favor when he appeared as can
didate for assemblyman in his native
city, New York. He was then just out
of college, 1879, and was twenty one
years of age.
Even his opponents admit that he
was a jealous servant Of his own par
ty-an unwavering Republican. He

The second stage of Mr.. Roosevelt's
public career was that in which he an
nounced himself as candidate for may
or of New York.
1t was very characteristic that he
should, with his belief in himself, con-
slider the office of mayor one which he
was equipped to fill, but unquestiona-
bly, If Mr.. Roosevelt were consulted to-
day he would agree with his friends
that his defeat in this race was bene-
fetal to him. Defeated as candidate
for mayor, Mr.. Roosevelt next appears
as a national civil service commission

Mr.. Roosevelt's sisters and of Mr..

class, were identified with the same set
in society, and there were a great
many people who predicted that as
these children grew up they would
marry. However, as is well known,
Mr.. Roosevelt's first wife was Miss
Lee Of Boston, and at the time of that
marriage Miss Carow was abroad,
where she remained for some time.
Mr.. Roosevelt met her in Europe after
his wife's death, and their engage
ment was not announced for some
months. When it was announced, the
congratulations were most sincere from

gone, and their records are more OF less
prosaic, but the history of Theodore
Roosevelt stands out again picturesque,
dramatic and alive with the intensity
of the mans nature, an intensity which
differentiates him at every step of his
career from his predecessors or success
sors. AS police commissioner Mr.. RooSe-
welt made New York seethe with ex-
element. Disguised, he visited at night
the various precincts, seeing for him
self and testing the probity and capa-
bility of his corps. By day he fought
the other police commissioners, he up
set old time rules and enforced old time
''blue laws because, as he explained,
they were in the statute books and
must be obeyed until they were re-
pealed.
The sixth phase of Mr.. Roosevelt's
career was brief, but most satisfactory,
and was embraced in the short time of
his service as assistant secretary of the
navy. Colonel Roosevelt was nominat-
ed by President Mckinley on April g.,
1897. On April II he rendered his resig-
nation as police commissioner to Mayor
Strong of New York city.
From the very first Roosevelt fore
saw the possibility of a conflict with
Spain, and he set about preparing his
department for it. He pushed repairs
on the ships, he worked with might
and main for the navy personnel bill
and visited the various naval reserves
throughout the country. He left moth
ing undone, in fact, that would secure
the highest efficiency in the service
when the time for action came. 1t is
an open secret that he it was who first
realized the tremendous opportunity
that the war would open in the east
and who had Dewey, in whom he rec
ognized the right man for the place,
appointed to command the eastern
squadron. And naval officers agree
that the remarkable skill in marks
manship displayed by the American
gunners was due to his foresight. He
saw the necessity of practice, and he
thought it the best kind of economy to
burn up ammunition in acquiring skill.
A characteristic story, of the truth
of which there Is no doubt, is told re-
garding Roosevelt's insistence on prac-
tice in the navy. Shortly after his ap-
pointment he asked for an appropria-
ton Of $4,000 for ammunition, pow
der and shot for the navy. The ap-
preparation was made, and a few
months later he asked for another ap-
preparation, this time of 100000.

Rights Of Individuals.

In the ''North American Review"
for October, Arch bishop John Ireland
writes upon personal Liberty and La
Dor Strikes" In view of the fact that
some fifty thousand men were concern
ed in the strike of the Amalgamated
Steel and Iron Workers, were for weeks
even months, out of employment,
carrying on strike based upon princi-
pies and managed in manner hither-
to unknown in this country, the opinion
of such distinguished citizen of the
United States as Archbishop ireland is
of great value. The authors conclu-
sions in word are that personal lib
erty is basic principle of the United
States Government and the American
Constitution; that in so far as an asso-
citation of labor unionists carrying on a
strike objects to certain regulations
enforced by its employers, its members
have an lnalienable right to decline to
work; that they further have the right
to use all methods of persuasion con-
sistent with personal liberty to per-
suade others not to work for these en-
ployers; but that the moment they cur
tail the personal liberty of any other
citizen OF the United States, whether
he be president of the greatest cor
poration in the country or the common
est laborer, they are breaking the laws
of the country and must be suppressed.
He says:
ITO men who are entering upon a
strike it should be clear that in pre-
venting others from working they are
acting in direct contradiction to the
very principle of personal liberty, in
virtue of which they justify themselves
in ceasing to work. When individual
workmen or combinations of wOrkmen
refuse to continue to work, no one
claims the right to compel them to
work, for the simple reason that in the
enjoyment of their personal liberty
they are free to work or not to work.
But, evidently, the corollary of this is
that men who choose to work must be
allowed to work. Not many years ago
an association of workmen Initiating
strike had reason to expect summary
treatment from law courts, prone as
these we're to interpret in a manner
unfavorable to such collective action
the various so-called conspiracy
statutes strewn over the pages of Eng
lish and American law books. Against
such statutes and against the inter-
pretations usually attached to them the
friends of labor waged unceasing war
in the name of personal liberty, with
the result that now. except in cases in
volving breach of contract, or en-
failing serious damage on public in
terests. labor unions may without risk
of mourning the displeasure of the law
initiate a strike and continue it as long
as they may deem fit. 1t is not strange
that, after labor unions have won the
long-fought battle for their own per-
sonal liberty, they should turn around
and strive to wrest personal liberty
from non-union workers? 1t would
seem that labor unions sought to be
law to themselves apart from and
above the law OF the land"
