New York friends, but it was not lona
before Mrs. Roosevelt as well an her
husband had formed a circle of new
acquaintances, and their house in
Washington was the center Of much
that was delightful and interesting.
When Mr.. Roosevelt decided to come
back to New York again, Mrs. Roose-
welt felt badly at breaking up her life
In Washington, but, as usual, said
nothing and allowed herself to be car
ried away by her husbands enthusi-
asm over his new field Of work and
came back to New York and took up
bar life where she had left 1t before.
AS is well known, the life here was
short, and back again they went to
Washington.
But during all these chances and
changes the quiet routine Of Mrs
Roosevelt's life, If it could be routine
one, went on, and, with the exception
that the place itself was altered, there
was no difference made. Every sum-
mer has been spent at Oyster Bay,
where the life led Is entirely an out
door one. Mrs. Roosevelt there, as
elsewhere, superintends the education
of her children. She does not instruct
them herself, but she makes point Of

They are all bright and interesting,

much more lively than they have been

The romping, outdoor life which these

Experiment has disclosed the fact
that one-fourth Of a teaspoonful Of me-
dunn strength vanilla added the last
thing before serving to enough coffee
for four persons improves 1t 30 per
cent. The secret Of perfection is to use
enough vanilla to cover the strong cof-
fee flavor, yet not enough to be de-
tected.
A pinch Of salt In coffee has long
been my secret for certain delicate
flavor that every one likes, but did
not know until recently that / had In
some mysterious way stumbled upon
the nodus operandi which has made
the coffee of Norway superb" In
that country the coffee is roasted fresh
every morning in covered shovel kept
In constant motion over the fire. A bit
Of sailed butter added after the roast
ing process is begun gives 1t an indie
scribable flavor as delightful as 1t 10
subtle.
The French, too, have made their
reputation for excellent coffee by using
butter while roasting it. A piece Of
butter the size of walnut, with des-
sertspoonful of powdered sugar to
three pounds of green coffee, is the
proportion used. This is said to bring
out both flavor and aroma and, more
over, gives the slight caramel taste

Roosevelt and asked him what he in
tended to do and what kind of game he
was after. The New Yorker said he
was after grizzlies. and it was soon

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, q member or q

public favor when he appeared as cam
didate for assemblyman in his native
city, New York. He was then just out
OF college, 1879, and was twenty-ons
years of age.
Even his opponents admit that b
was a jealous servant of his own par
tan unwavering Republican. He
was then, as now, athletic and ramark-
able for his boundless energy, his In
tersst in people and things and his un-
falling enthusiasm.
The second stage of Mr.. Roosevelt's
public career was that in which he an
nounced himself as candidate for may

should, with his belief In himself, con-

The approach to the house, through

The view Of the bay, the headlands,

Mr.. Roosevelt not only wore a cos

prosaic, but the history Of Theodore
Roosevelt stands out again picturesque,
Of the mans nature, an intensity which
differentiates him at every step Of his
career from his predecessors or success
sors. AS police commissioner Mr.. Roose-
welt made New York seethe with ex-
element Disguised, he visited at night
the various precincts, seeing for him.

bility Of his corps. By day he fought
the other police commissioners, he up
set old time rules and enforced old time
''blue laws" because, as he explained,
they were In the statute books and
must be obeyed until they were re-
pealed.
The sixth phase Of Mr.. Roosevelt's
career was brief, but most satisfactory,
and was embraced in the short time Of
his service as assistant secretary of the
navy. Colonel Roosevelt was nominal
cd by President Mckinley on April g,
1897. On April II he rendered his resig-
nation as police commissioner to Mayor
Strong of New York city.
From the very first Roosevelt fore
saw the possibility of a conflict with
Spain, and he set about preparing his
department for it. He pushed repairs
on the ships, he worked with might
and main for the navy personnel bin
and visited the various naval reserves
throughout the country. He left moth

the highest efficiency in the service
when the time for action came. 1t b

realized the tremendous opportunity
that the war would open in the east
and who had Dewey, In whom he rec
ognized the right man for the place,

squadron. And naval officers agree
that the remarkable skill In marks
manship displayed by the American
gunners was due to his foresight. He
saw the necessity Of practice, and he
thought 1t the best kind of economy to
burn up ammunition in acquiring skill.
A characteristic story, Of the truth
Of which there Is no doubt, is told re-
garding Roosevelt's insistence on prac-
tice in the navy. Shortly after his ap-
pointment he asked for an appropria-
ton Of 100000 for ammunition, pow
der and shot for the navy. The ap-
preparation was made, and a few
months later he asked for another ap-
preparation, this time Of 100000
When asked by the proper authorities
what had become of the first appro-
priation. he replied, EVERY cent of 1t
was spent for powder and shot, and
every bit of powder and shot has been

was going to do with the 100000, he
replied, use every ounce of that, too,

RoosEvELT's ANCESTRY.

Theodore Roosevelt was born Oct. q,
1858, in his fathers house, % East
Twentieth street, in New York city. In
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 name
more highly honored and esteemed
than the family into which Theodore
Roosevelt was born. For six genera
tons his forbears 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 1923, 1929 and 1880, assembly
man from 1885 to 1910, congressman
from 1841 to 1843 and supreme court
Justice from 1854 to 1890; his GRANDPA
ther, James Roosevelt, who was mer-
chant, was assemblyman In 1796-97
end alderman in 1909; his great-grand-
father, Cornelius G. Roosevelt, likewise
Q merchant, was alderman from 1855 to
1901; his neutrality-suspicious., Cor
nelius Roosevelt, was alderman from
1859 to 1894; his great-great-great-
grandfather, John Roosevelt, also a
merchant, was alderman from 1748 to
1867, and his ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
grandfather, Nicholas Roosevelt, was
alderman of New York city in 10000.
Such was the life of the sturdy Dutch
ancestors from whom Theodore Roose-
welt Inherited his name. But, although
his name Is Holland Dutch, Scotch,
Irish and French Huguenot blood min
gle In his veins In equal measure with
that of his Dutch ancestors and ac-
counts to no small extent for the per-
sonal qualities of the man, his energy
and perseverance, his impulsive. not 30
say fiery, temperament and his viva
eious mode Of expression. With the
impetus Of family and the favorable
material conditions in which he found
himself as well as by the force Of his
own personality, Roosevelt might have
advanced rapidly In any path he chose,
whether it led toward brilliant social
success or the making Of large for
time. That he chose career Of public
service Is characteristic of the man,
the more so in that he saw In the
course lie had marked out for himself
small chance Of pecuniary remunera-
ton and a struggle for principle that
might jeopardize those rewards that
are the politicians. Once decided he
never swerved from his course. For
more than twenty years he has been
before the public eye as an aggressive
political force.
