All about the management of the
household has been charmingly sim
pie, very dainty and always the same.
A true spirit of hospitality welcomed
every guest, who was made to feel
that his or her presence was the most
to be desired in the world. Wine was
always served, but neither the Presi-
dent nor his wife cared for 1t.
The menu was always simple, and
never comprised many courses, for the
President disliked long dinner. Ev-
erything was we'll served, but on most
simple lines and In a way that would
be quite possible for people of half
their means. This, however, with an
appearance of absolute comfort every

Mrs. Roosevelt is not very great
talker, but a brilliant conversational

Not a beauty at first glance, Mrs.

She is a brunette in coloring, with
brown eyes and hair, but fair skin,
with considerable color. She would De

THE NEW "FIRST LADY"
A CHARACTER SKETCH OF MRS.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

Democratic Simplicity and Charm OF
Her Home Life-A Member of an
Old New York Family-Like An
Elder Sister to Her ChiIdren-Miss
Roosevelt to be introduced in So
ciety This Winter.
From the New York Herald.
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, who now
takes her place as the first lady OF
the land. is a woman most eminently
fitted for the position. Although from
early childhood she has never been
publicly before the world, and has In
fact been noted for her shrinking from
publicity, hers is one Of those rare per-
sonalities which are bound to assert
themselves under any and all circum-
stances.
And those friends who have known
her from childhood are waiting to see
how we'll every duty will be fulfilled,
for they know her perfectly balanced
character, her marvellous reserve force
and her calm, cool judgment of people
and things.
Mrs. Roosevelt might be taken as the
type Of the American woman; essen>
TALLY feminine and dainty in appear
ance, she has yet enough fondness for
outdoor life and sports to be In touch
with the amusements with which her
husband is delighted.
Whether Mrs. Roosevelt is entertain
ing a house party of guests, presiding
at some public entertainment or public
function, or alone with her children
and their governess. she is absolutely
the same. The only time when she is
in any way different is when surround
ed by her very limited circle of inti-
mate friends, who are friends OF her
childhood, and who compose rare cir
Gle Of cultivated and intellectual wom-
en-. Their talk is of the latest books
and the leading interests Of the day.
Charming Household.
There is no gossip or scandal allow
ed in the Roosevelt household. Inc
matters discussed are public issues.
and there is no guest who does not feel
irresistibly compelled to stand up for
what is best and right, so high Is the
keynote that is sounded. This Is not
saying there Is not plenty OF life ana
1ollity, for merriment reigns supreme
with young and old, and never has II
been allowed that the cares of office
or the anxieties of politics should in
trude upon the fun and merrimen'
that go on increasingly.
The Roosevelt household has always
been democratic in its simplicity. There
have never been any attempts made
at elaborate entertaining. A dinner
for forty guests is never markedly diff
ferent from the dinner of six or eight
the only exception being some outside
maid servant brought in to lend as
sistance.
There have been no gorgeous ban
quets TO be chronicled among socia
events, and when the news columns
gave the information that Mr.. ant
Mrs Theodore Roosevelt entertained
at dinner there have never been AM

II had been some weeks since I had
seen the doctor, and one Sunday even

of two lonely men.

the doctors establishment. Once only

reign was brief. 1t became a point of
honor with the doctor and myself new

"Doctah mighty busy jes now, but
he'll be powful glad to find you's
waitin' heah. Pears lax we hain't had
much of yo' comp'ny lately, Mr.
Frank" and Tom turned a reproachful
face from his task of punching the al
ready glowing fire.
Before l could frame an answer to
this reproach the doctor hustled in.
Anderson! Well, young man! You
don't mean to say that you have con-
Guided to look me up again? Here,
Tom, give us something warm Now,

he lapsed into silence, gazing into
the swapping flames.

is needless to add that young Jane
way was member of the party. He
was a brilliant young fellow; poor,
but of a good family, and was fast
making his way to the front, and as
Maj. Sherwood was quite wealthy and
his daughter the only child, it SEEM
ed in every way a suitable match. Ger
tainly there was no opposition from
the major, for he loved Rodney jane

Affairs appeared to be progress
ing smoothly enough, when Janeway
was sent to New Orleans on a bust
ness trip by the firm in which he was
employed. This business occupied
several weeks, during which time a
stranger arrived at the village inn,
who caused quite a flutter in the
dove cotes. He was Baron Won Os-
trelitz, of Bavaria.

laid siege to Miss Sherwood, and was
certainly not discouraged by that
young woman. We onlookers were

No Sweeping Innovations.
Mrs. Roosevelt will not. so say her
friends, advocate any sweeping limo
vations at the White House, but there
will be Just as much to learn from the
way in which she performs her duties
as leading lady as in the very recent
times when, as hostess at Albany or
at the summer house at Oyster Bay,
she lived her own life. quite unmoved
by criticism or by the example of those
around her whose incomes permitted
more show and more luxury of life.
It is too early to speak of how and
what entertainment are to be given,
but with the first lifting of the cloud
that hangs over the country, and espe-
cially the White House, the irrepres.

that way will never be one with which
fault can be found.
Mrs. Roosevelt was Miss Edith Ker-
nit Carow, and her family had been
friendly with the Roosevelts for gem
erations. Her father was Charles Ca
row, son of Isaac Carow, a wealthy
New York shipping merchant. Her
mother was Miss Gertrude Tyler,
daughter of Gen. Tyler of Norwich.

A good many people have scanned
the city directory pretty closely but
the REGISTER ventures the assertion
that few of them know that one man.
and possibly more, are put down in it

fact would be evidence in liquor
prosecution. but the chances are the
man didn't give in his business that
way.

gin. Some years ago Moran put

some little gas in both. The new trial
will be made southwest OF town and it
will be for all there is in it. And
here's hoping they get millions.

Obituary.

Mary Dews-Weisner was born in
Yorkshire, near leeds, England and
died May 2nd 1901, at Rockbridge
Illinois, aged 81 years, months and
. days.
She came to America at the age of
fifteen and lived near LaHarpe from
1876 to 1892, when she returned to her
earlier home in Illinois.
Mrs. Weisner was woman of ex-
cellent qualities and her death is deep
ly mourned by her many friends and
relatives
She leaves an invalid husband
whom she has tenderly cared for for
fifteen years, her step-daughter. Mrs.
j. w. Pickell of Humbo ldt. and Miss
Jennie Edwards Weisner.
That method of stopping runaway
horse was old two thousand years
ago. In the ruins of Pompeii were
found brides in which, instead of a
bit which entered the mouth there was
an elestic metal band which rested
over the nostrils of the horse in such
a way that square pull on the lines
attached to either end OF it would stop
the animals breath. And that same
brand of bride is used on the streets
of Naples today.
