Pen Picture of the New "First Lady of the
Land"


Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt is now the
first lady of the land.
She is young woman who will
adorn the position. That her husband
has reached the goal of the highest am
bition which a citizen of these United
States can entertain, is in no small
measure due to her help aud counsel.
Mrs. Roosevelt is the second wife of
the president. She was Miss Edith
Carew, whom he had known from
childhood. Their married life has
been ideal. Five children have been
born to them.
Tho first lady of the land is of me-
dium height and graceful figure. She
has fair complexion, dark eyes and
hair, and a charm of manner that at
tracts all who meet her. She dresses
very simply, but always in the latest
fashion. She wears little jewelry, but
what she does wear is of the best.
AS social leader of the country,
Mrs. Roosevelt is fully equipped. She
has been in societp all her life. Few
women of the present day are more
cultivated or accomplished. Even her
husband, who is an omnivorous reader,
has not intelligently digested more
good literature than she has.
In her home Mrs. Roosevelt is the
personifcation of the good American
wife and mother. She has taken care
of her own babies, and they love her
with devotion that is touching.
She is the superintendent OF her own
household; she does the purchasing
and pays the bills. She is a business
woman when it is necessary to be a
business woman
The furnishings of her home at 0ys-
Bay reflect the character of Mrs. Roose-
welt. She goes in for comfort rather

The death of the famous earl, Lii
Hung Chang, is matter Of sincere re-
gret, for, though he was regarded as a
very willy politician, it was recognized
that he represented the more progress
faction in China, and it was believed
that his influence could always be
counted on to protect treaties and

within tie limits of the Empire The

can be expected that he is getting

and Raynor was trying to get him to
testify what word Schley had sent to
the men beneath the gundeck during
the great battle. The messages were
sent below by a speaking tube and it
was next to impossible for the witness
to testify that Schley himself had sent
them.
'This is all hearsay," protested the
Judge advocate, 'and l think the wit

Mr.. Raynor was attempting to make
one witness change his testimony by
reading to him what some other wit

Mr.. Hanna objected. In his, slow,
serious, drawling way he called the

HEDRIck'S FLAG HUNG.
Former Ottumwa Man Hangs Old
Glory in Federal Building.

When II. l.. Hedrick, formerly of
this city, but now deputy United
States marshall at Des Moines, resid-
ed here where he was for four years
Clerk Of the district court, his office
always contained flags and pictures
OF eminent public men. Mr.. Hedrick
was also no mean civil war historian
and could fight the battles over with
the best old soldiers.
Yesterday a flag was hung in the
inner court of the federal building at
Des Moines by Mr.. Hedrick. This
fact elected the following from the
Dcs Moines Capital
A large United States flag, 26 by 1S
feet in size, was today suspended in
the inner court of the federal build
ing, hanging from the fourth floor to
the grated ceiling of the postofiice de-
partment ON the first floor. The flag
bears on each side draped picture of
President Mckinley.
The flag, which completely fills the
width and length of the court, is the
property of Howard Hedrick, deputy
United States marshal, and was hung
under his supervision.
