ROOSEVELT AS A HUNTER.

When Roosevelt. dressed in his gau-
dy and personally selected hunting COS
tune, made his appearance among the
untrammeled citizens around Little
Missouri river, he was looked upon as
tenderfoot of q very elementary
brand. The toughs who proposed to
show him Il thing or two arranged
among themselves, in their own eX-
pressive language, Ito take some of the

Roosevelt and asked him what he in
tended to do and what kind of game he
was after. The New Yorker said he
was after grizzlies. and it was soon
uoised about the camp that the -FOUR
ryed tenderfoot' was looking for big
game. The hardest man in the vicinity

shoot any grizzlies in that territory
and that if Hc attempted 10 the bad

When this message was conveyed to

greatly pleased. and, looking eagerly
through his glasses. he inquired of his

RoOSEVELTS ANCESTRY.

Theodore Roosevelt was born Oct. %,
1858, in his fathers house, % East
Twentieth street, in New York city. In
that quiet region around Gramercy
park, the home of many families bear
ing names held in high honor and es-
TEEN, there was none bearing name
more highly horored and esteemed
than the family into which Theodore
Roosevelt was born. For six genera
tions his forbears had been prominent
as citizens of New York and distin-
guished in the councils of the city. His
father, James ]. Roosevelt, was alder
man in 1928, 1929 and 1880, assembly
man from 1885 to 1910, congressman
from 1871 to 1S43 and supreme court
justice from 1854 to 1860; his grandfa-
ther, James Roosevelt, who was mer-
chant, was assemblyman in 1196-91
and alderman in 1909; his great-grand-
father, Cornelius c. Roosevelt, likewise
a merchant, was alderman from 1855 to
1901; his great-great-grandfat Cor
nelius Roosevelt, was alderman from
1859 to 1764; his great-great-great-
grandfather, John Roosevelt, also a
merchant, was alderman from 174S to
1867. and his great-great-great-gre
/ grandfather, Nicholas Roosevelt, was
alderman Of New York city in 1700-01.
Such was thelife of the sturdy Dutch
ancestors from whom Theodore Roose-
welt Inherited his name. But, although
his name is Holland Dutch, Scotch,
Irish and French Huguenot blood min-
gle in his veins in equal measure with
that of his Dutch ancestors and ac-
counts to no small extent for the per-
sopal qualities of the man, his energy
ana perseverance, his impulsive, not to
say fiery, temperament and his viva
cious mode of expression. With the
impetus of family and the favorable
material conditions in which he found
himself as well as by the force of his
own personality. Roosevelt might have
advanced rapidly in any path he chose,
whether 1t led toward brilliant social
| success or the making of large for
| tune. That lie chose a career of public
service is characteristic of the man,
the more so in that he saw in the
course he had marked out for himself
small chance of pecuniary remunera-
tion and a struggle for principle that
might jeopardiZe those rewards that
are the politicians. Once decided he
never swerved from his course. For
more than twenty years he has been
before the public eye as an aggressive
| political force.

Women as Dncfnrs.

To go back as far as the end Of the
thirteenth century, a woman named
Protula was professor of the art of
healing at the University OF Palermo,
and an old certificate in the archives
of Paris shows that it was woman
who was called upon to prescribe
for Louis IN. on his return from
the crusade. In the seventeenth GEN.
tury Olivia del Sabucco, Spanish wo-
man, was considered an excellent doc
tor, and hundred years later Anna
Manzolini, en- Italien, was professor in
a medical college in Milan. Two other

POLICE COMMISSIONER OF

The afih st8Gc of Mr.. Roosevelt's
police commissioner of New York city.
Other commissioners have come and

prosaic. but tie history of Theodore

they were in the statute books and

career was brief. but most satisfactory

Interesting Career and
Home Life Of the
New President of
the United
States.

Theodore Roosevelt, the new presi-
dent of the United States, is one OF
the most remarkable men in this coun-
try. His career, which from the outset
has been 4 most strenuous one. may
be divided into nine phases or stages,
leading UP to the tenth as president,
upon the duties of which he is just en-
tering.
In nine different roles he has given
evidence of the attributes that make
him today perhaps the most talked of
man of forty-three in the world.
OF aristocratic birth, member of
family distinguished for valor, patri-
otism and culture for many genera
tons. young Roosevelt first sued for
public favor when he appeared as can
ddate for assemblyman in his native
city. New York. He was then just out
of college. 1879, and was twenty-one
years OF age.
Even his opponents admit that he
was a Jealous servant of his own par
ty--an unwaVering Republican. He
was then, as now, athletic and remark
able for his boundless energy, his in
terest in people and things and his un-
failing enthusiasm.
The second stage of Mr.. Roosevelt's
public career was that in which he an
nounced himself as candidate for may
or of New York.
1t was very characteristic that he
should. with his belief in himself, con-
slider the office of mayor one which he

that his defeat in this race was bene-
fetal to him. Defeated as candidate
fer mayor, Mr.. Roosevelt next appears
as national civil service commission
er. and here again his party found him
studious, untiring. capable and effi-
cient.
This appointment was made in 1889
by President Harrison when Roose-

RoosEVELTs ROUGH RIDERS.

Naturally enough, Roosevelt would
not be content To sit behind desk
while there was fighting going on. He
submitted his resignation to the prcsi-
dent on April IL and tried to get an ap-
pointment upon General Lees staff.
Then came the rough rider idea, the
seventh phase of Roosevelts career,
hardly thought of before twas realized.

those laws are upheld.
The comrades of Czolgosz, instead of
taking themselves so seriously, would
do well to reflect how unenviable their
position would instantly become if the
Government they hate so much should
suddenly proclaim that so far as An
archists are concerned all laws are sus-
pended, all protection withdrawn, all
courts closed, leaving them to get
along with the great body of American
citizens as best they can.
Thrust outside the pale of the laws
they detest, with no rights that any
American citizen was bound to respect,
no Anarchist could be found to so avow
himself within the boundaries of these

Colonel Roosevelt returned to the
