This was i'm the fall OF lS47. Portland
was a small town Of cabins, a sort of
wayside inn to these weary travellers.

Crowded into two small rooms Of an
already well filled cabin, the family
settled themselves for time. None
too soon for sickness and trouble fol-
lowed. The trying and responsible
position Of captain Of the train during
the long journey had been too much
for the father, and he soon passed to
his long home. The older sons went

The building of a new cottage on

that at one time old Bill owned nearly

he got several others to join him in
the building of the Starkey block, which

She must be made infinitely more

plihed and improved to the very limit
of scientific discovery; her university,
her academies, her public and private
schools, must be maintained and
pushed and patroni2ed until they shall
be the talk of the land, her mills and
factories must be duplicated i'm every

running water is absorbed i'm the profit

front must swarm with fleets of

FIRST LADY IN THE LAND"

Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt is now the
first lady of the land. She is CORE
spondingly conspicuous as an object Of
interest the world over, and details of
her personality and home life are inter-
esting
Mrs. Roosevelt is woman of excep-
uonal tact and amiability. Her social
qualities are admirable and made her
especially popular as the wife of the
Governor.
Both Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt are
in the very prime of middle life. They
have always known each other and are
of practically the same age. Mrs. Roose-
welt is not yet old enough for her dark
hair, which she wears drawn softly away
from her high forehead, to have become
tinged with gray. Her eyes sparkle with
all the vigor of youth.
When she smiles it is in the happiest
manner in the world.
Mrs. Roosevelt is fair in complexion,
aquiline in profile, of medium height,
slender and with an aristocratic bearing.
She has indeed great natural stateliness
and when dressed for dinner or recep-
ton is quite the grande dame.
She is a thousand times more conven-
tiOnally correct than her Rough Rider
husband, who has a great love for MAX
ing laws unto himself.
Mrs. Roosevelt has always succeeded
in subordinating her own personality to
that of her husband. She has never been
in any sense a public woman" even
when she was the wife of the Governor.
She avoids clubs prominent identification
with any movement social display or
ostentation.
Nevertheless she is thoroughly inform
ed and keenly interested in every ques-
tion of the day. 1t is only that SO far
she has INDUCED a preference for watch
Ing history rather than to have the
smallest share in it's making.
