refreshing in the extreme. But it is
not until after one reaches the top Of
Sycamore hill that the full beauty Of
the magnificent panorama is revealed.
The view of the bay, the headlands.
with the Long Island sound and the
Connecticut coast stretching for miles
and resting against the deep blue of
the sea. is SO restful, so altogether
lovely, that it cannot soon fade from
the memory.
The library. which is n splendid
room directly off the main hall. con-

Is one of cnchantment to the genuine

articles. of which he has written many,

Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt Is the most
enthusiastic admirer and ardent helper
of her husband in his political career.
She Is absorbed heart and soul in her
husbands success, as she has been
from the time they first knew each 9TH

before her marriage was Miss Edith
Carow. possesses great intelligence, a
remarkably fine education and a won
derful power of efIacing herself and at
the same time eXerting a great intlu-
ence. She is very pretty. slight, of
medium height and has dark brown
eyes and hair. She has not gone much
into society since her marriage, as she
has been more or less an invalid, and
she has devoted herself entirely to her
children and her home. She has five

The Roosevelt children are Alice,

They are all bright and interesting,

The romping. outdoor life which these

If Young girls would look ahead it
would sometimes save them from serious
collision with the men they marry. 1t
is here that ignorance is limos a crime.

it when the wife changes to a peevish,

Young wife does not understand it her

ROOSEVELT'S ANCESTRY.

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 n name
more highly honored and esteemed
than the family into which Theodore
Roosevelt was born. For six genera
tons his forbenrs had been prominent
as citizens of New York and distin-
guished in the councils of the city. His
father. James J.. Roosevelt, was alder
man In 1898, 1929 and 1880, assembly
man from 1885 to 1910, congressman
from lS4l to 1913 and supreme court
justice from 1854 to 1860; his GRANDPA
Their. James Roosevelt, who was n mer-
chant, was assemblyman In 1796-9I
and alderman in 1909; his great-grand-
father. Cornelius c. Roosevelt, likewise
a merchant. was alderman from 1855 to
1901; his NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., Cor
nelius Roosevelt, was alderman from
1850 to 1894; his great-great-great-
grandfather. John Roosevelt also a

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 a 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, a member of a
family distinguished for valor, patri-
otism INT culture for many genera
tons, young Roosevelt first sued for
public favor when he appeared as can
didate for assemblyman in his native
city, New York. He was then just out
years Of age.
Even his opponents admit that be

ty-an u~nwavering Republican. He
was then, as now. athletic and remark
! able for his boundless energy, his in
terest in people and things and his I'M
failing enthusiasm.
The second stage of Mr.. Roosevelts
public career was that in which he an
nounced himself us candidate for may
or of New York.
1t was very characteristic thai he

| slider the office of mayor which he
was equipped to fill. but unquestiona-
| bly, if Mr.. Roosevelt were consulted to-
day he would agree with his friends
that his defeat in this race was bene-
| fetal to him. Defeated US candidate
for mayor, Mr.. Roosevelt next appears
as a national civil service commission
er. and here again his party found him
studious, untiring, capable and eff
cient.
This appointment was made in 1883
by President Harrison when Roose-
welt was a trifle over thirty. Two years
later, in 1891 1.-THE fourth stage Of Mr.,
