TOLD OF ROOSEVELT.
Stories Illustrating the Character
of Our New President.
He Is an AppronchableM Man and Dis
plays Genuine COrdiaIity in His
HandshnI<e-By Nature He
Is Fighter.

Anecdotes in which President Roose-
velt figures as the star are almost as
numerous as those told of Lincoln.
Possessing striking personality, and
having a 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 lasting impression.
When one is introduced to Mr.. 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
a 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-
Enthusiastically: "Say, amt Teddy a
peach?" This is not a familiarity.
That same boy would run seven miles
for Mr.. 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.
Mr.. 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 a heavy load
up the ice-covered street. One slipped.
Immediately Mr.. 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

Wisdom's Whisper.

Don't complain when doing distaste-
full work; do it quickly and be done
with it.
The world takes more notice of your
Joys than it does of your sorrows.
There is no use trying to force peo-
pie into believing you are better than
your fellowmen.
Fair dealing oftentimes is made to
appear in the light of generosity.
1t is mistake to suppose that a
sorrowful aspect will be accepted as
piety.
Ostentatious display of religious
fervor frequently is nothing more
than hypocrisy CLOSED.
A man who is loud in his declara-
tions of poverty is not always an OBJ
ject of charity.
Extravaganza always forgets that
pay day will come some time.
The sigh in the heart deadens the
brillancy of the smile on the face.
If your burden be heavy it can be
borne by thinking how much heavier
is the burden of some one else.-Phila-
delphia Bulletin.

Misplaced Confidence.

Sir Courtenay Boyle was one of the
best dinner companions imaginable.
He had more excellent stories than
would fill half a dozen big volumes.
One of them was of sufferer who
called at poulterer's shop for some
turkeys. "Some are though and
some are t-tender?" he queried of the
shopman, who admitted the soft i'm
peachment. III s-suppose there is a
d-difference in the price," the GUS
toner remarked, only to be informed
that his supposition was wrong. 'IT
ll-keep b-boys' school," he said;
"would you m-mind p-picking out
1.-THE tough ones ?" The shopman, with
wink, separated the tough ones
from the tender ones, and once more
the customer asked if no difference
could be made in the price. The poul-
terer was sorry that it was impos-
sible; and he was sorry, too, no doubt,
when the customer said: "Then I'll
take the tender ones!"-St. James
Gazette!

the ice. "Stop moment" Roosevelt
said to the driver. Drive sideways"
The driver did not recognize the gov
ernor. He was about to say omething
unpleasant when the governor caught
his eye. Then the man zigzagged his
horses up the hill past the ice with
never a 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 a 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
er 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
powerful rival to you for next fall"
maybe So" he replied, "but he is
right and he's going to have those
bills if 1 can get them through for
him" And he got them through.

reforms he recommended were being

effective method of personally visit
ing the patrolmen of the force on
their beats at night. On one of these
trips he found two policemen drink
ing in a saloon. "Is this the way you
do your duty?" he asked, quietly.
Neither of the officers had seen the
commissioner before and they took
him for some prying stranger.
"What's that to you?" replied one of
the men. "Get out of here or we
will throw you out" Mr.. Roosevelt
did not get out. Nor did he lose his
temper. He replied in the same
quiet voice: 'No, l will not go out.

and / am looking for men like YOU
who do not obey my orders. Come

apologized, but it was of no use.

the few words as if they were of the
utmost Importance.
After they came out of the refresh
mcnt-room something separated her
from Miss Cambridge, who had not
proved as much interested as Barbara
had imagined she might be; and again
she was left to herself. For the first
time during the evening she began to
notice that she was attracting consid-
cradle attention. Standing in the cor
ner by the door of the conservatory,
she could not help hearing some one
say: Mrs. Vane has no right to go
such lengths. 1t is the last time l ac-
cept any of her invitations. The idea
of inviting hired girls to gatherings
like this! 1t is simply an insult to all
the guests!"
But the girl seems well-behaved
enough" said male voice.
Every pretty, too" said another.
"It may be, but it's no place for her.
It's an unheard-of thing for Mrs. Vane
to do She's done some very queer
things, but this is the worst"
Il don't know" spoke up a voice
that Barbara recognized as belonging
to Mr.. Somers. "a well-behaved hired
girl is less Objectionable than a
drunken count. That's what we had
at Newport last winter at the Lynd-
hursts'. But then, l suppose he knew

lamb of st. John and designs of the
Spanish flag and castle. The commit
tee wished to retain as much as pos
sible of this historic relic, but was
compelled at last to let most of it go.
The shape of the shield, however, was
retained, and also the rock, after being
so remodeled as to copy, with some
eXaggeration, the contour of the is
land as it appears to the voyager be-
fore entering the harbor of San Juan.
Behind the rock is shown the rising
sun.
The choice of crest, says Worlds
Work, presented the next difficulty.
No heraldic animal was suggested as
having a peculiar local significance,
except the game cock, whose present
popularity the government is doing it's
best to suppress. The native flora
was thoroughly sifted with a view to
finding a suitable tree. The mango
was rejected because it too strongly
resembles an oak, and the palm be-
cause its trunk is too snake-like. The
bust of Columbus was next consid-
cred, and, though acceptable from
heraldic point of view, it was disap-
pointing in artistic effect. One of his
caravels, however, conveyed so happy
a suggestion of his work and made so
striking a figure above the shield that
it was adopted without more ado.
When it came to the motto the COM
mittee decided that Spanish was out
of the question, since the new official
language of the island was English,
and English, because it was such an
unknown tongue to most of the peo-
pie, so, following the prevalent prac-
tice in armorial achievements, Latin
was chosen. Mr.. Hunt entered into
correspondence with several of the
most eminent Latinists and general
scholars in the country. OF the mot
toes submitted by them the most poet
ical had for its central thought the
idea of a star shining brightly in the
heart of the sea; but this was open to
the objection that the star is with US
the recognized symbol of statehood, a
condition to which Porto Rico has not
attained. The successful suggestion
presently came from a Washington
woman, and, almost simultaneously,
from DR.. David j. Hill, assis tant secre-
tary of state. 1t is from Ovid: "Pros-
pera lux oritur," literally, "A happy
day is dawning." 1t is especially aP-
propriate to the device of the sun ris-
ing over a flushed sea.

Shut out by clouds from heavens warm

While some on sunny hilltops lie,
Close to the gladness of the sky.
All, some In shadow, some in sunl
So has 1t been since time begun.
Some always have to bear load
OF care along dreary road
From which, on sunny heights, they see
Those for whose backs no burdens be,
So shall 1t always be while life
Holds fast to happiness and strife.
But sometime shall pathway run
Out of the shadow into the sun,
And valley plodders turn and climb
To sunny heights, in Gods good time.
All, sometime, somewhere, soon or late
So. heart of mine. In patience wait!
So come to us whatever may,
Believe God is not far away,
And lift your eyes toward the light
That burns, beacon, on the height.
BY souls who strive the heights are won
The shadow leads into the sun!

the corner of One Hundred and Forty
ninth street and Third avenue in New
York city. 1t measures exactly g
inches by IL inches. So small is the
property that an ordinary straw hat
will cover twice as much space, and yeE
an offer of 5000 has been made for it.
while the executors of the so-called
Uhl estate, of which this is the prin-
cipal asset, are holding it at figure
of 81 900. The tiny lot was created by
the widening of One Hundred and For
ty-ninth street, which cut off practic-
ally all the Uhllot, leaving only this mi.
mute triangle. Much of it's present
value is purely fictitious, being based
on the desire of an advertising firm to
get possession of the spot for the erec-
tion of an Advertising pyramid. At
present the so-called Uhl estate is one
of the chief centers of interest in the
borough of Bronx. Everybody knows
the exact location, and many strangers
come across the Harlem river to get q
glimpse of it.
