seventh phase Of Roosevelt's career.
hardly thought Of before twas realised.
.Roosevelt's rough Notwithstanding
In the ALTERATION Of the name struck
the popular fancy, and the regiment
became famous before 1t was organ
tied. Roosevelt had had some military
experience as captain in the Eighth
regiment, but not enough, in his esti-
nation, to fit him to command regi-
mem In time Of war, and he modestly
took the second place and was content
to learn from his friend, DR.. Wood.
It is hardly necessary to recount the
history of the rough riders from the
time they were organized in San An
tonic, Tex, until they were mustered
out ut Camp Wikoff-to recall the jun
gle fight Of Las Guasimas and the
bloody charge at San Juan Hill. The
tale is still on every ones lips. But it
Is worth while to recall the remarkable
influence Roosevelt's personality had
over his men, an influence that welded
a thousand or more independent cow
punchers, ranchers and athletes into a
fighting machine. you've got to per-
form without fiinching whatever duty
Is assigned you regardless Of the diff
Guilty or danger attending it. No mat
ter what comes you mustn't squeal."
These words of Roosevelt's became al
most a religion with his men. ITO do
anything without fiinching and not to
squeap' was their aim, and to hear
the colonel say "Bullyw was reward

eided to do so in what he considered
proper costume, and 1t Is most inter-
sstdng to see the dramatic instinct
again dominating. The pictures Of Mr..
Roosevelt taken in his costume a. q
hunter show him holding his rife,
loaded with many bullets. The leather
breeches, with their picturesque adorn-
ment Of fringe; the hunting shirt Of
leather, embroidered supposedly by In
dams; the scarlet silk handkerchief,
ivory handled revolver, the knife thrust
through the cartridge belt, are all the
atting paraphernalia Of the cowboys
hero.

Not until he became plain citizen on
Sept. 10 would he talk of politics, and
then he found the tide of events bear
ing him along inevitably and irresisti-
bly,.
The eighth stage Of Roosevelt's ca
reer began with his assumption Of the
Office Of governor of New York state
and the ninth with his Inauguration as
vice president Of the United States
March 4, 1901.
A tenth phase is just opening for him
AZ the chief executive Of the greatest
nation in the world
President Roosevelt's ancestry and
his rearing and education, coupled with
an excessively aggressive nature, mani
tested Enthusiastically even in his very
early boyhood, seemed to presage for
him more than ordinary career.

Mrs. Roosevelt was a playmate. Of
Mr.. Rooseyelt's sisters and of Mr..
Roosevelt himself when they were chill

class, were identified with the same set
In society, and there were great
many people who predicted that as
these children grew up they would
marry. However, as is well known,
Mr.. Roosevelt's first wife was Miss
Lee Of Boston, and at the time of that
marriage Miss Carow was abroad,
where she remained for some time.
Mr.. Roosevelt met her in Europe after
his wife's death. and their engage

months. When it was announced, the

DERIDED BY STEAMER AGENTS.
The New Custom House Rule Not
Likely to Be Obeyed.

NEW YORK March 1.-THE new Gus
tom house rule that forbids the relatives
and friends of incoming voyagers from
meeting them on the pier while baggage
is being examined was widely discussed
yesterday by the steamship agents here
The new rule does not bar visitors from
a pier when a ship arrives, but it bars
them from that portion of the pier where
the passengers and baggage are being
landed.
Friends of incoming voyagers must wait
on the street end of the pier until the
voyagers have been officially passed by
the customs inspectors.
The general opinion of the agents is
that this order would obtain about three
weeks. They regard it as an impOssi-
bilitg- 10 keep the friends and relatives Of
yoyagers from meeting and greeting them
the moment they arrive. Some We're out
spoken yesterday in the declaration that
it was an imposition on the voyagers and
their friends.
James A Wright. Second Vice President
Of the American Line. said: u see no use
Of such a rule. That is all l care TO say
about IL
If this rule can be carried out IL VIII
be good thing both for the passengers
and for the steamship line said John
Lee. general agent here OF the W hlte star
Line The question is, can it be carried
out under the political system of this
country
Suppose now that J. p. Morgan or some
equally influential man should land from
one Of our steamships at the White Star
pier, and suppose that his friends come
down TO meet him Would Colonel Storey,
the chief of staff, have the backbone to
refuse them? That is what 1 want to
know How long Will it be possible to
keep everybody off the piers? Remem-
Der, If you let one past the line estab-
liShed and among the passengers, you viii
have t. let all.
4 think the rule is good. but 1 see
no chance for its permanent enforcement.
For women coming over without escort On
the steamships and expecting to be met
at the piers by their friends. II might
seem a hard rule But such women are
generally IN charge Of a stewardess or
some one on the ship who looks after
them In Liverpool the rule is obeyed TO
the letter Here its enforcement viii be
very hard work
Gustav H Schwab. of The North Ger
man Lloyd. said it would take more than
a picket fence TO keep people from meet
ing their friends as soon as they landed.
He declared that human nature would not
stand the separation by a few feet Of
relatives and frieLds who had been parted
for months He said the pier visitors
would be apt TO rush to meet their friends
