TOLD OF ROOSEVELT.
Stories Illustrating the Character of
 Our New President.

AEecne, S.9.aSnt Roose- welt ngures as the star are almost as numerous as those told of Lincoln. Possessing a striking personality, and having habit of doing and saying things out of. the ordinary, his words and deeds are always interesting.
 President Roosevelt is not only an approachable man, but he displays a cordiality toward people he meets that makes a lasting impression. When one is introduced to MT. Roose- welt he cannot help feeling that he is an object of no little interest to him. The new acquaintance goes away feel ing that the greeting was not one of mere formality. If he has had story to tell he knows that it has been heard and absorbed. A new page at the state capitol took his first note to Roosevelt when governor with fear and trembling. Thoughts of the greatness of the man he was. to see overwhelmed him. When he reap peared from the governors office after delivering the note he was all smiles, and to another page he remarked en- thusiastically: Say, ain't Teddy a peach?" This is not a familiarity That same boy would run seven miles for MT. Roosevelt and be willing to punch the boy who said anything dis respectful. He entered the governors presence expecting. to be overawed, he cam out with the impression that he had known him for a long time and was glad of it.
 MT. Roosevelt's interest in animals is almost as great as in man. He was walking from the capitol at Albany one day, accompanied by a friend, when he noticed two sturdy but tired horses striving to haul heavy load up the ice-covered street. One slipped. Immediately Mir. Roosevelt stopped and, with an absorbed expression on his face that he shows when deeply in terested, watched the horse regain his feet. The horses stumbled again on

BODY FOUND IN BROOK.
Ierryyille Shoemakers Death-Is Con
 sidered Accidental

Terryville, Oct 14.-Georoe pao,,,
 shoemaker, 70 years old wbo na, een missing rom his boarding place Y, several days was found dead in n n,. plooh near the Bristol line by John niuinln yesterday morning. Becker came 10 Ierryville about 15 years apo rom Bristol, where he had conducted T shoemaking establishment for some years, and opened shop on Main street near the Eagle Lock comm -,v,e Iactofy. He had no relatives in tnesa pdrls ana so was practically alone in the world. His habits were good and everyDody looked upon him as a trst- ciass cltlzen. For several weeks bacl, ne had acted in strange manner anu anu ms conversation indicated that nis mind was slightly unbalanced ITa dld nothing however, to attract attpn- ton and he was at work in his sbon every day. On Tuesday he went tn Hartford, returned late in the after noon and was seen by several persons afterwards lettering about the passen- ger station at Pequabuck. As nothinp more was seen of him a searching party was organized last Thursday and the country was secured in sever al directions but without success. Fms morning a larger party was or- ganlzed and a more thorough search made. As they were hunting over 1e ground back of w. H. Scott l& Co.'S saw mill a short distance from inc main road, Blumm discovered the body. The feet and body were on the bank, but his head was in the water up to the shoulders.
 Medical Examiner w. w. WclIng- ton was summoned and decided that the man had been dead since Tuesday night, as the body was in decom- posed condition. On examination it wsAs found that the skull was frac- tured on the left side and the eft jaw was crushed. pr Wellington said he thought from appearances the man was wandering around the locality in the night and stumbled into the brook fracturing his skull. as he fell down, causing instant death The re- mains were removed to the center of the town and turned over to the se- lectmen. Selectman Hinman said that the town would bury the body today. The funeral was held in the afternoon. Nothing much is known about Becker. He told a man in Terryville some time ago that he once had wife and several chil- dren. but they all died of dinhtheria within short time of each other.

 the ice "Stop a moment" Roosevelt said to the driver. Drive sideways" The driver did not recognize the gov ernor. He was about to say something unpleasant when the governor caught his eye Then the man zigzagged his horses up the hill past the ice with never word. The grim look on Roosevelt's face disappeared just as quickly as it came, and the next min ute he had tipped his hat to little child who saluted in true military fashion.
 Roosevelt is by nature fighter. He has all the stubborn tenacity that was inherited with his Dutch blood, coupled with almost a Celtic willing ness to combat anyone or anything, anyhow or anywhere he deems prop CT and necessary. When he fought against two parties to push through the bills giving Controller Coler, of New York, the right to pass upon prices paid by departments for goods purchased and supervision in the confession of judgments the leaders of his party came to him and said:
 "Governor, you are building up a powerful rival to you for next fall"
 Maybe so," he replied, "but he is right and he's going to have those bills if I can get them through for him. And he got them through.
 While police commissioner in New York city, MT. Roosevelt did not depend on the reports of his sub ordinates to learn whether his or ders were being obeyed and that the reforms he recommended were being carried out, but pursued the simple effective method of personally visit ing the patrolmen of the force on their beats at night. On one of thesd trips he found two policemen drink inD in a saloon. "Is this the way yoF do your duty?" he asked, quietly Neither of the officers had seen thE commissioner before and they tooE him for some prying strangeii 1 "What's that to you?" replied one ( the men. ssGet out of here or W will throw you out" Mir.

Athletic Women in Days of old.

Athletic Women fin Days of Old.
 Some searcher after curious facts has discovered that athletic women are by no means product of the nine- teenth century, as is generally be- lieved. They fiourished in the days of sal volatile, hoops, patches and snuff, in the days when George II. was king. Ladies of the court took part in races arranged for them at the regular meetings, so that there were lady jock- eys as well as gentlemen jockeys, and once series of foot races for ladies in Hyde Park was organized. The first one was run amid great enthusiasm of the populace, and the betting was high. Then stepped in some cross grained old fellow who persuaded the government that such races were un- seemly, and they came to sudden end, much to the regret of the people of London.-N. Y.
