ploded with such a noise that several
witnesses supposed the pistol had fired.
On the instant Lawrence dropped the
pistol and transferred another from his
left hand to his right. He pointed the
second pistol at the president and pull
ed the trigger, but again the cap ex-
ploded without discharging the pistol
just as Mr.. Jackson, with appraised
cane, made for his assailant. Law
renee, however, was knocked down and
secured by others before the president
could reach him.
That Mr. Jackson was uninjured by
the attack upon him was little short of
marvellous, and his escape was discuss
ed at the time by many in tone of SUI
perstitious awe. Tests were made with
the pistols of Lawrence after his at
tempt, and they were found to be an
elegant pair in most excellent order
and loaded with powder and ball al
most to the muZzle. The powder was
of the highest quality, and the percus
sion caps found On his premises when
tested proved to be of the very best of
that time. In fact, the two pistols,
with new caps taken from Lawrence's
box, were fred at the first attempt in
each case by the officers who tested
them.
Richard Lawrence was painter and
had shop in Tricky settled part of
Washington. He was about thirty-fiye
years of age and. though small in
stature, was a handsome man. His
father, an Englishman, had died some
years before, but young Lawrence had
a sister and other relatives living in
Washington. At the trial it was shown
that Lawrence was insane, that he had
been unbalanced mentally for about
two years. In justification of his act
he claimed at his trial that President
Jackson owed him money; in fact, that
the president was his clerk and was
Withholding money that belonged to
him. He also claimed to be king of
England and America and made other
wild assertions, some of which it was
shown he had been making for year
or more before his attempt to kill the
president.
Lawrence was adjudged insane and
was sent to an asylum, where he re-
NAMED an inmate for upward of
thirty years. when he died.
Partisan feeling was running high at
that time, and at first many, including
the president himself, thought that
Lawrence was the tool of others. So
great was the excitement produced by
the affair that some of Jackson's po-
litical opponents, including Clay, Cal
houn and Poindexter, were in the
frenzy of the moment suspected of
having conspired to get rid of the
president, but it was soon discovered
that this suspicion was unwarranted
and unjust, and that the crime was
Matched and matured in the brain of
lunatic.
Abraham Lincoln, sixteenth president
of the United States, was shot while
sitting in a box in Ford's theater in

HIS CIVIL SERVICE CAREER

President Harrison appointed Theo-
dore Roosevelt member of the United
States civil service commission May
IS, 1889.
He served for six years, two Of them
under President Harrison's successor,
Mr.. Cleveland. In that time the num-
Der of persons who were made subject
to the civil service law was increased
from 1900 to nearly 10000, and the
still further great increase made by
the orders of President Cleveland in
the late years of his first administra-
ton was largely due to Mr.. Roosevelts
efforts.
In the wave of reform which swept
over New York in 1S04-5 the men, in
Guiding Mayor Strong, who We're
borne into power were something of
the same stamp as the civil service
commissioner. They We're of the class
which fought political rings, and they
turned to Mr.. Roosevelt to take hand
in purifying the police force of New
York city, which was alleged to be a
sink of political rottenness and studied
inefficiency. Mr.. Roosevelt resigned as
civil service commissioner May 5, 1895,
and was appointed a police commits
sioner of New York city May "a fol-
lowing.
The uproar that followed the intro
duction of Roosevelt methods in the
conduct of the New York police force
has never been equaled as police SEN

man of the strongest personal attach
plents. He turned aside from public
life for a time and went west.
He had been a lover of hunting from
boyhood, and when he decided to spend
some time in the wilds of Montana he
took up the life as he found it there.
On the banks of the Little Missouri
he built log house, working on it
himself, and there turned ranchman,
cowboy and hunter. He engaged in
one of the last of the big buffalo hunts
and saturated himself with the life of
the west. His trips in this and later
years were not alone confined to this
section of the west, and his courage, in
telligence and companionable nature
made him a name which in later years
drew to his standard thousands Of cow
boys, among whom his name had come
to mean all that they admire and all
that appeals to their natures.
In these years and between 1886 &nd
1889 Mr.. Roosevelt was also busy on
much of his literary work. The most
important of his works, ''The Winning
of the West" a history in four vol
umes Of the acquisition of the territory
west of the Alleghenies, required an
enormous amount of research. On its
publication it leaped at once into popu-
larity and soon acquired a reputation
as most reliable textbook.
His hunting trips and his months OF
life among the men and the game Of
the west have supplied the material for
a number of Mr.. Rooseyelt's books,
among them "The Wilderness Hunter"
Hunting Trips of a Ranchman" and
"Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail"
This period of writing and hunting
was broken by two important events.
lie was defeated as candidate for may
or of New York, and he married again.
The second wife of the vice president
elect was Miss Edith Kermit Carow,
daughter of an old New York family
They have five children, three SONS
and two daughters. The marriage took
place in 1886.
For years after this Mr.. Roosevelt
was not prominent in politics. He
spent his time in writing and in hunt
ing trips to the west. Never an idle
man, he accomplished an immense
amount of research in the preparation
