THE MAN ON HORSEBACK.

The world Is always looking for the
dramatic. 1t forgets dialogue, but al
ways remembers tableau. The colonel

take their baptism of blood at Las Quasi
mas leading them up San Juan Hill,
sharing with them the privationss of the
trenches In front of Santiago-that was
TIE vivid picture people could remember
Of Theodore Roosevelt They forgot that
with him war was merely an incident
For a few months he had worn khaki,
because he mad conceived 1t his duty to
offer his sword to his country; and with
that adaptability which is the sixth sense
possessed by Americans, he had gone
about his business of soldering as natur-
ally as IL it were the only business he
knew. But the public forgot that against
his few months of military experience
were the years he had spent in learning
life, in studying men and affairs and in
fitting himself for government by read
ing and writing history. Roosevelt, the
man on horseback, the beau ideal of the
cavalry commander, daShing, superb
figure. one that would have delighted the
heart of Carlyle, was real and vivid
enough to catch the emotional crowd.
Roosevelt the essaylst, the biographer OF
Benton and Morris, the historian of the
West; Roosevelt. who had waged war
against Tammany. who had taken cor
rupt inefficient and brutal police force
and had taught it honesty, efficiency and
decency; who had courageously made the
civil service law thing to be respected
instead of thing to be Knocked at by de-
signing politicians-this was the dialogue
of the play, to be forgotten before the
act was over; but the climax, the Man on
Horseback, was to be remembered long
after the curtain went down.-The Forum.

IN MERRY ENGLAND
CHRISTMAS IS OBSERVED WITH
QUAINT CUSTOMS IN TIGHT
LITTLE ISLE
REUNION AT WINDSOR CASTLE
Royal Family VIII Dine in State
May Day and ST. Valentines
Day Celebrations Are
Dying Out.

LONDON, Dec. Il. We believe in
Christmas very sincerely in old England.
1t Is really our greatest holiday in the
year, the day when our hearts go out to
one another in the closest way
I understand that the celebration at
Windsor castle will be carried out with
due observance to old traditions, dinner
being ordered for 6 O'Clock, at which there
will be present as near family grouping
as can be consummated. The new
Prince of Wales, and the princess, will
be the most prominent people there, and
there will probably be a representative
from the Danish throne.
The rehabilitation of King Edward, who
has been suffering from a slight lesion
of the right lung, is hailed by all citizens
of the empire as an augury for the best
and a hopeful sign for the empire. In
reality the king is in better health than
he has been for some time past.
or course the celebration of Christmas
here does not take exactly the tone OF

tent deserted, the celebration seeming
to center more particularly in country
houses. In the country house and al

On Darrelrs Island, one Of the foveliest
islets of the beautiful Bermuda group,
the British government has established

the camp of the Boer prisoners of war,

Darrell's Island is a low-iying splinter

waves washing, here q gentle beach. and

| shaded woodlands alternate with open
| spaces. There is more variety in that
| bit of land than the South Afrikanders
would find in many hundred miles of sneir
| own country. Perhaps that was one of
| the reasons for their great depression
| when they first landed. The contrast be-
| tween the broad sweep of their own
| veldts and the little wave-pent prison
home, jewel as it was, was too much
| for their spirits. But as soon as it was
borne upon them that they were going
| to have a comfortable, if not a variegated
life. What pleased them still more was
| the discovery that, within the limits of
| their island they were free to do as
they pleased; that, except for certain
broad restrictions, they could establish a

time, and whether it be in an ancestral
castle manor house or old-faShioned
country home, there is a haven of rest
and enjoyment which enables us to fully
realize and enter into the spirit of the
occasion.
We seem to live in such cold and cal
lous atmosphere in the big city that our
feelings do not have the opportunity to
expand themselves. There is, in fact,
danger that we might lose our venera-
ton for the great and time-honored fes-
tival old we not disintegrate ourselves on
the occasion and get away into some
quiet and familiar haunt where the spirit
of the day cannot alone be observed, put
appreciated.
Those who have not the good fortune
to have connection with ancestral homes
or with friends who live in the country
certainly can and do get a better salts
faction out of their Christmas celebra-
ton than staying in town by arranging
for a good dinner party at some country
inn where despite the innovations of fash
ion-that destroyer Of ancient privilege
and identity-they can live for q few brief
moments in that unartificial and hearty
enjoyment of Christmas.
It must be an acknowledged fact that
| tradition is largely giving way to cir
cumstances, although in this country ira
| dition and custom die hard.
We have never had a national Thanks
| giving here as the occasion is celebrated
| in America, the only note taken of the
| event being short service in the Epis-
copal churches, and therefore feeling cen
| tiers very strongly on the Christmas cele-
| bration.
| Nearly all the May-day customs have
ceased, although that day has been the
theme of poets and painters all over Eu-
rope, and particularly here. In the cour-
try districts of England, however, chill
dren still go around the villages and dis
| tricts singing May rhymes and decorating
themselves with garlands Of flowers.
1 am afraid, however, that the pretty
| celebration of st. Valentines day. which
| we have next to consider, is falling into
| innocuous desuetude, and that is much to
| be regretted. The old idea Of sending val
entines and verses by lovers to one an
| other kept the secret and success of true
love SO beautifully intact 1t carried the
old and sacred institution into the hearts
| of the rich and poor alike, for many
dainty offers and missives were submitted
to the shrine of st. Valentine from al
quarters.
Other occasions, which are celebrated
by English, Scotch, Welsh and Irish, are
likewise less remembered and celebrated
each year, so that there is much need OF
| keeping the holly green If we would pre-
i serve sentiment in the tight little isle.
