CAREER OF ROOSEVELT


Theodore Roosevelt, the new prasi-
Cent of the United States, is one Of the
most remarkable men in this country.
His career, which from the outset has
been 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 43 in the world.
OF aristocratic birth, a member Of
family distinguished for valor, patriot
ism and culture for many generations.
young Roosevelt first sued for public
favor when he appeared as candidate
for assemblyman in his native city,
New York. He wa, then just out Of
college, 1879, and was 81 years Of age.
Even his opponents admit that he was
a Jealous servant of his own party-an
unwavering republican. He was then,
as now, athletic and remarkable for his
boundless energy, his interest in people
and things and his unfailing enthusi-
asm.
The next stage Of Mr.. Roosevelt's
nounced himself as candidate for may
or of New York.
1t was very characteristic that he
should with his belief in himself, con-
slider the office OF mayor one which he
was equipped to fill, but unquestiona-
bly, IL Mr.. Roosevelt were consulted to-
day he would agree with his friends
that his defeat in this race was bene-
fetal to him. Defeated as candidate
for mayor, Mr. Roosevelt next appears
as national civil service commission
er, and here again his party found him
studious, untiring, capable and eff
cient
This appointment was made in 1889 by.
President Harrison when Roosevelt
was trifie over 30.
AS police commissioner Mr.. Roose-
welt made New York seethe with ex-
citement. Disguised, he visited at night
the various precincts. seeing for him

bility of the corps. BY day he fought

they were in the statute books and
must be obeyed until they were re-
pealed.
A phase Of Mr.. Roosevelt's career
that was brief, but most satisfactory.
was embraced in the short time of his
service as assistant secretary of the
navy. Col. Roosevelt was nominated
by President Mckinley on April 8, 1897.
On April II he rendered fis resignation
as police commissioner to Mayor Strong
of New York city.
From the very first Roosevelt fore,
saw the possibility of conflict with
Spain. and he set about preparing his
department for 1t. He pushed repairs
on the ships, he worked with might and
main for the navy personnel bin and
visited the various naval reserves thru
out the country. He left nothing un-
done, in fact that would secure the
highest efficiency in the service when
the time for action came. II Is an open
secret that he 1t wae who fret realised

Waste, Rest and Exercise.

The late William NJ. Evarts was n
marvel of intellectual vitality to an
advanced age, and he used to explain
It by saying that he slept late in
the morning and never took any eXer-
else. There is no advantage in getting
up early in the morning If you need
the sleep. Many man is burning the
candle at both ends by getting up at
an early hour simply because his
housekeeping is adjusted to that pro-
gramme. AS to physical exercise, Mr..
Evarts had discovered for himself
what our Psychologists are now be-
ginning TO teach. namely; that IL a
man consumes tissue in hard intellect.
ual work, the way to repair the loss Is
by resting, and not by consuming
more tissue in physical exercise. To
the majority of brain workers oxygeni-
zation of the blood is far more import
ant than physical exercise, and there
are two very good ways TO secure
that: Sleep with your bedroom win
dow wide open in winter and sum-
mer, and, If you can afford it, keep a
horse and drive in the open air.-Bos-
ton Watchman.
