From the time of landing until the
fall of Santiago the Rough Riders
were giant figures in the campaign
Their work reached a climax on July
1, when Lieut.-Col. Roosevelt led the
regiment in the desperate charge up
San Juan hill. He had shared all the
hardships of his men, and when he
broke the red tape of discipline to
complain of Gen. Skaters camp and
its dangers from disease the army was
with him and the war department lis
tened to his judgment. On July II he
was commissioned a colonel of volun-
teers.

paign with characteristic energy. Men
of all parties supported him and he
was elected by a plurality of more

twice His first wife was Miss Alice
Lee of Boston; the second, Miss Edith
Carow of New York. He is the father
of six children, ranging from 16 to 3
years of age.
His domestic life is ideal. Whether
ensconced in winter quarters at Al.
bany or New York. or at the famou:
Roosevelt home at Oyster Bay on Long
Island, he is an indulgent father and
romps with his children with as much
zest as the youngest of them. The
youngsters are known as the Roose'

manner the paternal characteristic.

Reading AIoud.

People with chest complaints are
recommended by medical men to read
aloud, as this strengthens throat, lungs
and chest muscles alike. The reading
should be deliberate, without being al
lowed to drag, and the enunciation
clear, the body being held in an easy.
unstrained, upright position. so that
the chest will have free play. The
breathing should be natural and as
deep as possible without undue effort.

He proved that unfiinching civil

highest degree was necessary to party

Republicanism, but it was not an easy
task. Judgment. tact, honesty, ener-
gy, and a certain sturdy pugnacity
were necessary to the accomplishment
of his purpose. Every detail of the
system was opened to carping criti
