THE PRESIDENTS CHILDREN.
They Are Like Their Father in Hav-
 ing Strong Characteristics.

From the New York Journal
 The same strong individuality which gives President Roosevelt distinctive characteristics, dissimilar from other men, is manifest in his children.
 The Roosevelt traits are particularly exemplified in Theodore Roosevelt, Jr who is now IA years old A typical Amer ican boy with rare tact and Judgment he is deliberate and determined.
 Master Theodore is the personifcation of the trite axiom, Like father, like son."
 Whether 1t be a go with the skis in winter or a row on the bay in summer he goes about it with the same vigor as his father weilds an ak or dashes through the woods on his warhorse Texas.
 When young Theodore said, one day last summer, Mother, I shall walk over and see grandfather Robert" he clearly demonstrated the grit and pluck that IS in him, for to walk over to "Grandfather Roberts" country seat at Seaville meant to walk a distance of forty miles. The lad walked the distance in remarkably short time making the journey back to Sagamoro I1ill when his visit with Rob- ert Roosevelt, the Presidents uncle. had ended.
 Master Theodore, who is born nat uralist has one of the most complete museums of any boy in the country. He is a taxidermist of no mean ability, and his stuffed specimens are excellent
 Young Theodore began his elementary education in the little schoolhouse near President Roosevelts residence at Saga more Hill.
 Miss Sarah c. Provost the preceptress declares with much pride that Little Theodore was the brightest and most studious scholar I ever had"
 The two Roosevelt children now getting beyond their A B C's in this humble lit- tie country school are Archibald Bullock Roosevelt years old and Kermit Carew Roosevelt Il years old. Miss Provost points to them as being the brightest and most tractable of any Of her scholars Last winter Kermit tramped to school through snowbanks and in the face of chilling winds.
 Archie is very quiet. but exceedingly witty. When in his fathers study he keeps MT. Roosevelt in an uproar and is frequently sent scurrying to the nursery. Ethel, years old, is a demure little miss,

Boston, Mass, September 2S.-Boston finished the season today by defeating Milwaukee in two poorly played games.

He was injured in the eighth inning and Shreckengost took his place. Both pitchers worked wretchedly In the sec ond game, but Bostons better stick work carried the day.
