MR.. RooSEvELT's OYSTER BAY HOME.
going into their lessons always cnce n
week. If they are at school, She goes
to the school and stays through the
day. in order to know just what the
children are studying.
The Roosevelt children are Alice,
seventeen years old; Theodore, Jr,
fourteen; Kermit, twelve; Ethel, ten;
Archibald, seven. and Quentin, four.
They are all bright and interesting.
and, as the boys are as full of FRANKS
az possible and have none of the eX-
clusiveness so common to children
reared in afIluence, it is likely that the
grounds of the White House will be
much more lively than they have been
for n generation.
The romping. outdoor life which these
children have hitherto enjoyed at Oys-
ter Bay during nearly eight months of
each year has had the effect of making
athletes of them all. Teddy Junior is
said to be an excellent boxer, n good
runner and jumper, n first class swim
mer and a magnificent horseman. In
deed all the children ride well, for
their father has always held that horse
back riding is the most healthful eXer-
else in the world. The children have
taken to it so naturally that n visitor
who saw them some time ago on their
fayorite mounts laughingly remarked
TO the colonel that if he should ever
conclude to raise another regiment Of
rough riders he will be able to get sew
eral recruits without leaving his own
premises. Teddy junior is so striking
n counterpart in miniature of his IA
Their that his identity is clear to per-
sons meeting him for the first time at
places where they would naturally not
expect to see him. His mental habits
and his impulsive manner are also
those of his father, who. by the way,
is regarded by the youngster as the
greatest man in the world. His sole
expressed ambition is that he may live
to be as good man as his paternal
ancestor.

RoosEvELTs ROUGH RIDERS.

Naturally enough, Roosevelt would
not be content to sit behind a desk
while there was fighting going on. He
submitted his resignation to the presi-
dent on April 10 and tried to get an APP
pointment upon General Lees staff.
Then came the rough rider idea, the
seventh phase of Roosevelts career,
hardly thought of before it was realized.
"Roosevelt's rough understanding
in the ALTERATION Of the name struck
the popular fancy, and the regiment
became famous before 1t was organ
ized. Roosevelt had had some military
experience as captain in the Eighth
regiment. but not enough. in his esti-
nation. to fit him to command n regi-
ment in time of war, and he mOdestly
took the second place and was content
TO learn from his friend, DIR. Wood.
1t is hardly necessary to recount the
history OF the rough riders from the
time they were organized in San An
tonic, Tex, until they We're mustered
out at Camp Wikoff-to recall the jun
gle fight of Las Guaslmas and the
bloody charge at San Juan Hill. The
tale is still on every ones lips. But ii
IS worth while to recall the remarka BILE
influence Roosevelts personality had
over his men. an influence that welded
a thousand or more independent cow
punchers. ranchers and athletes into 4
fighting machine. You've got to per-
form without finching whatever duty
is assigned you regardless of the diff
Guilty or danger attending it. No mat
ter what comes you mustn't squeal."
These words of Roosevelt'S became al
most n religion with his men. ITO do
anything without finching and not to
squeaP' was their aim, and to hear
the colonel say Bully" was reward
enough.

THE ROOSEVELT HOMESTEAD.

Vice President Roosevelfs homestead
near Oyster Bay, y. Y. is an ideal
country seat, and the Roosevelt fami-
ly is a very old one in the neighbor-
hood. The house is large. homelike
and countrified. quite unpretentious. 1t
crowns the very topmost peak of Saga
more hill.
The approach to the house, through
forest and meadow. is beautiful and
refreshing in the extreme. But it is
not until after one reaches the top Of
Sycamore hill that the full beauty of
the magnificent panorama is revealed.
The view of the bay, the headlands,
with the Long Island sound and the
Connecticut coast stretching for miles
and resting against the deep blue of
the sea, is so restful. so altogether
lovely, that it cannot soon fade from
the memory.
The library, which is n splendid
room directly Off the main hall, con-
tains about 5000 books. The interior
Is one of enchantment to the genuine
book lover. \ big open fireplace
stretches across one end of the room.
Above it is a magnificent display of
the heads of deer. rams, antelopes,
mountain sheep and other trophies of
Colonel Roosevelt's skill as a hunter.
The floors are covered with rugs
made of the skins of lions, bears, buff
faloes and panthers, all victims of the
vice presidents gun. In fact the whole
house is adorned with trophies of the
chase.
Here it is that most of his books and
articles. of which he has written many,
were brought into being.
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt is the most
enthusiastic admirer and ardent helper
of her husband in his political career.
She is absorbed heart and soul in her
husbands success. as she has been
from the time they first knew each 9th
er as children. Mrs. Roosevelt. who
before her marriage was Miss Edith
Carow, possesses great intelligence, a
remarkably fine education and n Won
derful power of effacing herself and at
the same time eXerting a great infiu-
ence. She is very pretty, slight, of
medium height and has dark brown
eyes and hair. She has net gone much
into society since her marriage, as she
has been more or less an invalid, and
she has devoted herself entirely to her
children and her home. She has five
children of her own, and there is also
daughter by Mr.. Roosevelt's first wife,
girl of seventeen, to whom Mrs.
Roosevelt is the most devoted of moth
ers.

amiabie with the tenderfoot from the
east.
Mr.. Roosevelt not only wore cos
tune which he considered appropriate
for killing grizzlies, but he actually
killed more bears than the best of the
bad men," and his unquestioned Draw
cry and fearlessness won him, as it al
ways does with the Bret Harte type OF
man, unbounded respect and love-
What the men of the west thought
of the tenderfoot was shown when
Theodore Roosevelt called for volun-
teers for the rough riders, among
whom were some of those who tried to
take the frills off the New York dude"
when he first appeared among them
and who today lovingly and Loyalty re
fer to him as n leader whom they
would follow to the death.

QUENTIN ROOSEVELT.
PRESIDENTS Youngest SON

Not until he became Il plain citizen on
Sept. 10 would he talk of politics. and
then lie found the tide of events bear
ing him along inevitably and irresisti-
bly,.
The eighth stage of ROosevelt's ca
reer began with his assumption of the
office of governor of New York state
and the ninth with his Inauguration rs
vice president of the United States
March 4, 1901.
a tenth phase is just opening for him
as the chief executive of the greatest
nation in the world.
President Roosevelts ancestry and
his rearing and education, coupled with
an excessively aggressive nature, mani
tested Enthusiastically even in his very
early boyhood, seemed to presage for
him n more than ordinary career.

New York friends. but it was not long
before Mrs. Roosevelt as well as her
husband had formed a circle of new
acqua-ltanceS. 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
her life where she had left it 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 a point of

Women rs Doctors.

To go back as far as the end of the
thirteenth century, n woman named
Protula was professor of the art of
healing at the University of Palermo,
and an old certificate in the archives
of Paris shows that it was a woman
who was called upon to prescribe
for Louis TX. on his return from
the crusade. In the seventeenth CEN
fury Olivia del Sabucco, n Spanish wo-
man, was considered an excellent doc
tor, and a hundred years later Anna
Manzolini. an Italien, was professor in
a medical college in Milan. Two other
well known woman doctors were Bar
bara Weintranhein, German woman,
and Swedish woman named Christine

that one-fOurth of Il teaspOonful of me-
dunn strength vanilla added the last
thing before serving to enough coffee
for four persons improves it 80 per

enough vanilla to cover the strong cof-

tected.

some mysterious way stumbled upon
the modus operandi which has made

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 it an indie
scribable flavor as delightful as it is
subtle.
The French. too, have made their
reputation for excellent coffee by using
butter while roasting it. 4 piece of
butter the size of a walnut, with 4 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
which tourists remember to have en-
joyed nowhere but in France.-What

ROOSEVELT AS A HUNTER.

When Roosevelt, dressed in his gau-
.dy and personally selected hunting cos
tune, made mis- appearance among the
untrammeled citizens around Little
Missouri river, he was looked upon as

brand. The toughs who proposed to
show him q thing or two arranged
among themselves, in their own ex-
ipressive language. ''to take some of the
lfrills out of the New York tenderfoot"
: A well known character approached
iRooseveIt 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
Inoised about the camp that the -four
eyed tenderfoot' was looking for big
game. The hardest man in the vicinity
sent word to Roosevelt that he couldn't
shoot any grizzlies liz that territory
and that If lie attempted to the bad

the blue eyed tenderfoot, he seemed
greatly pleased, and. Stocking eagerly

Immediately upon receiving the desired
information Roosevelt rode over TO see

Interesting Career and
Home Life of the
New President of
the United SIS,
States. ;5T csess

Theodore Roosevelt, the new presi-
dent Of the United States, is one of
the most remarkable men in this coun-
try. His career, which from the outset
has been 4 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 forty-three in the world.
OF aristOcratic birth, a member of
family distinguished for valor, patri-
Otism and culture for many genera
tons. young Roosevelt first sued for
public favor when he appeared as can
didate for assemblyman in his native
city, New York. He was then just out
of college, 1879, and was twenty-one
years Of age.
Even his opponents admit that he
was n jealous servant of his own par
ty-an unwavering Republican. He
was then, as now, athletic and remark
able for his bOundless energy, his in
terest in people and things and his I'M
falling enthusiasm.
} The second stage of Mr.. Rooseve1t's
public career was that in which he an
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 lie
was equipped to fill, but unquestiona-
bly, if Mr.. Roosevelt We're consulted to-
day he would agree with his friends
that his defeat in this race was bene-
fetal 10 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

This appointment was made in 1889
by President Harrison when RoOse-

gone. and their records are more or less
prosaic. but the history Of Theodore
Roosevelt stands out again picturesque,
dramatic and alive with the intensity
of the mans nature. an intensity which
differentiates him ut every step of his
career from his predecessors or success
sors. As police commissioner Mr.. RoOse-
welt made New York seethe with eX-
citement. Disguised, he visited at night
the various precincts, seeing for him
self and testing the probity and capa-
bility of his corps. BY day he fought
the other police commissioners, he up
set old time rufes and enforced cid 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.. Roosevelts
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
ed by President Mckinley on April 6,
1897. On April Il 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 q 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 bill
and visited the various naval reserves
throughout the country. He left moth
ing undone, in fact, that would secure
the highest efficiency in the service
when the time for action came. 1t is
an open secret that he it was who first
realized the tremendous opportunity
that the war would open in the east
and who had Dewey. in whom he rec

squadron. And naval officers agree
that the remarkable skill in marks
manship displayed by the American
gunners was due to his foresight. He

thought 1t the best kind of economy to
burn up ammunition I'm 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 n few
months later he asked for another ap-
preparation, this time of 100000.

RoosEvELTs ANCESTRY.

Theodore Roosevelt was born Oct. %,
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 a name
more highly honored and esteemed
than the family into which Theodore
Roosevelt was born. For six genera
tions his forbears had been prominent
as citizens of New York and distin-
guished in the councils of the city. His
father, James ]. Roosevelt, was alder
man in 1928, 1929 and 1880, assembly
man from 1885 to 1910, congressman
from 1871 to 1913 and supreme court
justice from 1854 to 1860; his GRANDPA
Their, James Roosevelt, who was mer-
chant, was assemblyman in 1796-97
and alderman in 1900; his great-grand-
father, Cornelius G. Roosevelt, likewise
q merchant, was alderman from 1873 to
1901; his neutrality-suspicious., Cor
nelius Roosevelt, was alderman from
1859 to 1854; his great-great-great-
grandfather, John Roosevelt, also a
merchant, was alderman from 174S to
1767, and his great-great-great-gr
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-

sonal qualities of the man, his energy

GOVERNOR, VICE PRESIDENT,
PRESIDENT.

Colonel Roosevelt returned to the
United States to find that he was al
ready talked of as the next governor of
New York. But his regiment, which
he had ''breathed and eaten with for
three months" was still on his hands,
and he had no time for anything but it.

war would follow and that shortly, and
his energies were bent with redoubled
force to getting the navy ready. When
war did finally break out, Mr.. Roose-
welt was for rushing matters, for TAX
ing Havana ut once and debating
terms from there.

MRS. ROOSEVELT AND THE
CHILDREN.

Mrs. Roosevelt was n playmate of
Mr.. Roosevelts sisters and of Mr..
Roosevelt himself when they were chill
dren. They went to the same dancing
class, were identified with the same set
in society, and there were n great
many people who predicted that as
these children grew up they would
marry. However, as is well known,
Mr. Roosevelt's first wife was Miss
Lee of Boston, and at the time of that
marriage Miss Carow was abroad,
where she remained for some time.
Mr.. Roosevelt met her in Europe after
his wife's death, and their engage
ment was not announced for some
months. When it was announced, the
congratulations were most sincere from

what had become OF the first appro-
priation. he replied, Every cent of it
was spent for powder and shot. and
every bit of powder and shot has been
fired" When he was asked what he
was going to. do with the 100000, he
replied, "Use every ounce of that, too,
within the next thirty days in practice

up. Mr.. Roosevelt had 40 doubt that
