THE ARCTIC MOSQUITO.
It Is About the Most Terrible Insect

in the summer of 1885, representing
the Alaska and Dominion Trading
company. and we struck mosquitoes as
soon as we got into the hills. They arc
twice as large as our familiar bayou
species. and their sting is like the prod
of hot needle. They sweep along the
valleys in dense clouds, and If they
catch man unprepared they are liable
to blind him before he can escape.

death and can readily believe them.
whenever we went ashore we wore
heavy hat nets and took the utmost
precaution. but were certain to suffer
more or less. One of our party cut the
tongues out of his shoes. and a narrow
line Of sock was exposed under the lac

least a hundred times, and his feet
were so terribly inflamed that the shoes
had to be cut of.

AOOu hccpcIS'
President Mckinley nominated Mr.
Roosevelt on April G. 1897. to be assist
ant secretary of the navy. From the
very first he foresaw the possibility of
conflict with Spain. and he set about
preparing his department for it. lie
left nothing undone that could secure
the highest efficiency in the service
when the time for action came. When
actual hOstilities began. Mr.. Roosevelt
resigned his post in the navy depart
organized a regiment of rough riders.
He did not think his experience was
sufficient to qualify him to command
regiment, and so when the rough rid
ers were organized he declined to be-
come colonel. He became the second in
command. DR.. Leonard Wood was
made colonel.
The history Of Roosevelt and his
rough riders during the Santiago cam
paign is too we'll known to be repeated.
After Guasimas and San Juan Hill
Colonel Wood was made brigadier
general and Lieutenant Colonel Roose-
welt the regiments colonel. After the
campaign was over Colonel Roosevelt
returned to the United States. the idol
Of the country. He found himself al
ready talked of for the gubernatorial
nomination of this state. Not until he
was private citizen again. on Sept.
Is, would he talk politics. He then en-
tered into the campaign with his GUS
tomary vigor and impetuosity and was,
after nomination at Saratoga by the
Republican convention on Sept. 81,
1893, elected governor of the state Of
New York over Augustus Van Wyck.
the Democratic candidate, by 17,7S6
votes.
From the governors chair to the vice
presidency was but step, although an
unwilling one. for Mr.. Roosevelt He
was nominated at Philadelphia June
p. 1900, for the second highest office
in the gift of the people Of the United
States. Mr.. Roosevelt was unwilling
to have his name presented to the con-
vention, declaring that he did not de-
sire the nomination. The popular de-
mand for his nomination was so great
that he finally was forced to yield to
the delegates desire and accept the
nomination as President McKinley's
running mate.
One of the most astonishing things in
the presidents life is the great amount
of literary work he has accomplished
despite his manifold other concerns.
He began to write before he left Har-
ward, and in the year after he was
graduated he produced his NAVAL
War of 1872" He wrote Life of
Thomas II. Benton" and also biog-
raphy of Gouverneur Morris. which
was followed in 1883 by his Ranch
Life and Hunting Trail" which proved
a very popular book. "The Winning Of
the West" however, he considers his
greatest literary work.
Other productions of his pen are
Historic Towns" History of New
York City" Essays on Practical Pol
tiles" and THE Wilderness Hunter"
He also wrote american Political Ide-
ais" and. in collaboration with Henry
Cabot Lodge. produced volume enti-
tied Hero Tales From American His
tory" All his writings are remarkable
for their vigor Of style and clearness
Of expression.

Showing Him How.

"You young sooundrel" said the ia
ther, selling his disobedient son by the
hair. "I'll show you how to treat your
mother"
And he at once proceeded to show
young hopeful the way by banging him
across the ears two or three times and
then shaking him until his hair began
to fall out.
