not the case and is not a good idea

= NEW ORDERLY
Accompanies President Roosevelt on
His Afternoon Ridse.

Washington, D. c., March 18.-(Spe-
cial to The Republican. )-President
Roosevelt has a new orderly for his
afternoon horseback ride. He is a cor
poral III the artillery corps, and his as
signment to duty with the president is
only temporary, pending the recovery
of a regular orderly, Sergeant McDer-
mott, also Of the artillery corps. Nc
Dermott has become a familiar figure
in Washington, through his attendance
on Mr.. Roosevelt, behind whom he
rides at a distance OF about twenty
PAGES. His selection as the presidents
orderly Is said to have been due to his
reputation as the crack pistol shot in
the army.
McDermott's pluck has been shown
in the indisposition which has caused
him to be laid up temporarily. In his
rides with the president recently, he
felt a severe pain in one Of his ankles,
but stuck to his duty until the suffer
ing became too great to bear. Then
he went to one Of the army surgeons.
McDermott thought his ankle had been
strained, but the surgeon found that
an ankle bone had been broken and or
dered him to the hospital. The injury
is attributed to a wrench during a
hard gallop after the president.
