noted Long Branch herd of Aber-
deem Angus cattle, owned by Charles

closed to-day in Dexter park amphi-
theater, Union stockyards, there
were sold 143 head, realizing $685.
500, an average OF $4S1 per head.
This is the greatest average ever
made on a like number OF cattle OF
any breed in the world. The high

liked among the spoilsmen of both parties, but he held to the line of his duty. He took the law as he found it. lived true to his oath of office and made the measure respected in many quar- ters where it had been sneered 1t be- fore.
 Shakes Up the Police.
 From Washington he passed to po- lice commissionership in New York city. His peculiar ability to work, and work on right lines, gave the corrupt police force such shaking up as it had never had before. He was police com missioner in every sense of the word, unbribable, unapproachabl fair to the, fair-minded, severe on the crim- inal. His books continued to sell in increasing number, and the public through the press, began to have broader view of him.
 When the Spanish-American war came he was assistant secretary of the navy by the authority of President Me Kinley. He had much to do with the organization of the navy for the con- fiict, and it has always been believed that his influence largely contributed to the sending of Admiral Dewey to Hong-Kong. and thence to Manila bay.
 When war became a certainty MT. Roosevelt resigned his position in the navy department, and with Gen. Leon ard Wood organized the First volun- teer cavalry, better known as the rough riders. Gen. Wood was colonel of this regiment and MT. Roosevelt lieutenant colonel. The members of the regiment came from the first fam lilies in the east, from ranches in the west, came from wherever good horse

desire to become a member of the leg islature. He fought the machine and defeated it.
 In 1884 he appeared before the na- tion. His health troubled him and he sought a new life at Chimney Butte, Dak., where he grazed cattle and led the life of cowboy. He became known from Medora to Dickinson IS the bold est and bravest cattleman in the re- zion. He did what the cowmen did. He lived as they lived. He commanded the respect even of the desperadoes. His lungs expanded, his body devel- oped and he gained reserve of health that seems to have grown every year since.
 Turns to Literature
 He lost money on his. tile venture but he returned to New York a strong man physically, and he made the race for mayor of that city. He was de- feated. but he laughed. He understood that the corrupt elements of the city would not tolerate him, but he waited. Meanwhile he wrote books-books on hunting, books on western life, books on eastern cities. His style in liter ature was vigorous and pleasing. His books sold well and the magazines made great demand for his writings. The public liked his breeziness, his ev- ident sincerity, his courage, and par italy appreciated him even before he became national civil service commits sioner in 1889.
 Once at Washington, he commenced an enforcement of the law of the most vigorous kind He made himself dis

men, daring men and good shots could be secured.
 Forms Unique Regiment.
 The regiment was the most unique of its kind ever organized, and was much scoffed at in the beginning. Be- fore it had been two days in Cuba the wisdom of it's organization was plainly seen. The men were fitted for any kind of campaigning. Their colonel and lieutenant colonel took what they took. The regiment practically foraged itself, and was first in the field and first to be baptized with fire. At Las Guasimas, Kettle hill and San Juan it gave up it's bravest and best and went on to victory.
 MT. Roosevelt was it's colonel before the end of the war, and pronounced by

peals to the readers sympathies. He has, too, a power of coining striking phrases and of putting things in a way that catches the attention. Tho strenuous life" is a phrase with a meaning that could not be put again in so few words. In recent speech he spoke of our war with Spain as merely a bit of the police work of the world" Once before he spoke of it as "a bit of rough surgery"
 These utterances reveal the man. He has written much. The titles of some of his best works are: Life of Thomas Benton," Life of Governeur Morris" Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail, ,' "The Winning of the Vest" History of New York City," Essays on Practical Politics. "The Wilder ness Hunter" ''Hero Tales from Amer- ican History" 'Naval War of 1872"
 The First Lady of the Land.
 Mrs. Roosevelt is handsome woman, we'll educated, and thorough ly familiar with the requirements of society. She is a warm admirer of Mrs. Grover Cleveland, especially as a wife and mother, and warmly ap- proves the declarations of the former presidents wife that children belong exclusively to the home and freside. and should never know they are ob- jects of public interest, especially during political campaign. She is careful to screen her children in all ways possible from photographers, and likewise shuns publicity herself. She declares children, if promiscu- ously admired, become self-conscious, vain and conceited, and lose their traits of innocence and loveliness.

more things-the character of his work and the diversity of his sub- jects. Most of his books are not such as could be written off-hand. His His tory of the Navy in the War of 1872" and his Winning of the West" involved a great deal of searching among archives and old manuscripts in state and national government offices, in libraries and in private collections. His subjects include naval history, military history, frontier history, mu- nicipal history, sport, biography, bi- ology, politics and book reviews.
 MT. Roosevelt's style is that of plain man telling straightforward story. After reading his books you are certain that he never paid any at- tention to his style, and the evidence is, not that the style is not good, but that there is absolutely no straining after effect. He is essentially a prac- tical man, but he is well endowed with imagination, and this gives to his work an occasional poetic touch that ap-

warrior is desccndant through nine generations from early Dutch settlers of New York. Along this ancestral line there have been infusions of Scotch, Irish and French -Huguenot blood. The present Theodore Roosevelt is not the first Of his family to hold public office In successive generations it's members have been called to official duties in city, state or nation. The father of the president at various times held public office in New York, and invariably re- fused money compensa tion for his services.
 Of Delicate Health When a Lad
 Roosevelt was pale and delicate boy, the very opposite in health of what he has since become. Plenty of began to give him q good degree of bodily vigor. and ill his college years he became skilled in boxing and wrestling.
 In Harvard university he held good rank as q scholar, giving especial att tention to natural history and gen eral historical subjects. After his graduation from Harvard in 1880 he continued his studies at Dresden and then travelled in Europe and the east.
 Roosevelt Enters Politics.
 In 1881 Roosevelt, 23 years of age, began hi. active life in New York. And with him activity was activity. His father had instilled into his mind contempt for the man who drifts through an inactive life of comfortable self-indulgence. achieving nothing.
 He tried a plunge into New York politics. In his city district was re- publican machine combination that showed no disposition to recognize his

name appears as editor and contrib utor, like "The History of the Royal Navy" and the book of which he and MT. Henry Cabot Lodge are joint au- thors, the total number of his books is 21.
 This would be remarkable in an author whose sole occupation was writing. It appears still more so in a man to whom authorship is but an incident, when we recall that he has served three terms in the New York legislature; that he was for five years a member of the civil service commits sion, and for three arduous years pres ident of the board of police commits sioners in New York city; that he has been assistant secretary of the navy, commander of regiment in the war with Spain, governor of New York and vice president of the United States.

 It is almost certain that the cab- inet of President Mckinley will be the cabinet of President Roosevelt. He not only requested them to re- main, but stated to them that they were his choice for the positions which they were occupying. All of the members including Secretary Hay complied internationally. In the event of Secretary Hays retire. ment Sooner or later) it is altogeth- CT probable that Secretary of War Root will succeed to the state port folio. This will make an opening for at least one new man to take charge of the war office. No other changes under present circumstances are even remotely likely.
