AS the wife of the vice president,
Mrs. Roosevelt has naturally appear
ed much in society and she has enter
tained the most interesting figures in
Washington, both foreigners and
Americans. But Mrs. Roosevelt's chief
interests have never been in society.
Her home duties have always claimed
her first, and her children and her
housekeeping have her constant per-
sonal care. She is good business wo-
man, and her household finances are
under her direct supervision.
There are five children in the Roose-
welt household. The president was
married when very young to Miss
Alice Lee, Of Boston, who lived but
two or three years after her marriage.
She left daughter, Alice, who Is now
II years old. The other children, The
odore, Jr., aged IA; Kermit, 12; Ethel,
10, and Quentin, 4, are the present Mrs.
Roosevelt's.

THE PRESIDENTS FAMILY.

The personality of Mrs. Theodore
Roosevelt, the new mistress of the
White House. is very little known
to the public. Her picture has
been published less than that Of the
wife of any man prominent in public
life today. The explanation. Is Presi-
dent Roosevelt's right ideas on the
privacy of the home. He believes that
a mans public and private affairs
should be kept scrupulously distinct,
and this belief has always governed
his own life and that of his family.
In the circles of her acquaintance,
Mrs. Roosevelt is known to be one OF
the most cultivated and accomplished
women who has been a member OF
Washington society in recent years.
In the minds Of those who know her
well there Is no doubt that to her
steadfast ambitions for her husband
and her firm belief in his talents and
ability, have been a spur to which the
nresident owes much of his success In
public life.
Mrs. Roosevelt was Miss Edith
Carow. whose family had always been
intimate with the Roosevelts, and Mrs.
Roosevelt and her husband knew one
another from childhood. She is of
medium height and with fair complex
ion. dark eyes and hair and decided
charm of manner. She has travelled
much, is a good linguist and probably
one Of the best read women in official
society. The amount Of literature she
and her husband manage to read Is
said to be equaled only by the famous
record of Lord Macaulay and his Sis
ter.

vice Of about eighteen months he re-
moved to North Carolina, was admit
ted TO the bar and began the brilliant
career which finally made him presi-
dent of the United States.
A tradition handed down in Marl-
boro county, in this state, which, I
believe, has never been published, as
cribes to two South Carolina friends of
Jackson, much Of the credit for the
memorable victory at New Orleans.
Daniel and Hugh McColl, who lived
Gated, and belonged to a family of
stanch patriots in the Revolution, were
gunsmiths and famous rifle shots.
Many of their exploits with the old
long rifles are still preserved among
the residents of the locality. About
1910 the brothers removed to Tennes-
see and, their reputation following
them upon the outbreak Of hostiities
joined Jackson's command. While
awaiting the approach Of the British
in the famous action Of January, 1915,
Jackson sent for the two brothers and,
placing them in favorable positions, d.
rected that they unhorse the command
ing officer Of the army. After several
fruitless attempts the tradition states
that one Of these brothers killed Pack
enham.
It will give me pleasure to cooperate
with you in the matter to which you
refer and to give any assistance with
in my power Yours truly,
]. T. CAN'T.
There Is now at the Hermitage, near
Nashville. a splendid exhibitor relics

that this ought by all means to be

one Of the most interesting features Of

without realizing It Lisle was prepared

"Tell me more" she said presently.

When Roosevelt was police commits
sioner, a few hours served to make his
advent a reign Of terror. Fat and
lethargic policemen who had been in
the habit of taking morning maps in
some sheltered doorway were sudden
ly made to discover their shortcom-
ings by this determined looking man.
Mr.. Roosevelt's way Of making noe
turnal tours to see If the policemen
were on their respective beats left a
wake of terror. 1t was in the early
morning hours that the new commits
sioner made his favor1te rambles.
One morning he found policeman sit
ting in a doorway comfortably smok-
ing a cigar.
Whats your number, my MANI" he
asked suddenly confronting the po-
liceman.
whats that to you?" the policeman
growled back impudently. What's
your name?"
IT am Commissioner Roosevelt" was
the quiet reply. BE at my office at 10
o'clock this morning"
The policeman hastily jumped up,
tried to stammer out an apology, but
was cut short in sharp tones. The next
day he received lecture on the crime
of being impolite to strangers, as we'll
as for lettering on post. Dozens Of po-
licemen in the first few days Of Mr..
Roosevelt's commissionershfp were
