the number of spindles and looms.
This was followed by overproduction
and in time by stagnation. The crisis
was doubtless hastened by the extraor-

price of raw materials and a conse-
quent Generalization in the market.
While the cotton and woollen mills
have gradually reduced their stocks,
and most of them have again resumed
work-though prices are still far from
being prolitable-other more import

paralyzing effect OF over-production
and Iutn9us foreign competition.

which makes It possible to utilize the
electric fan for blowing hot as we'll as

from the highway onto the tracks

rfes dearest to Mr.. Roosevelt's heart,
and. popular as he may be elsewhere, 1t
is on the north shore OF Long Island
among the hardy fishermen that he is
best loved. The natives there have
kept careful record Of his career and
will relate to the visitor with great
lride anecdotes of "Roosevelt's seven
stages" They mind how" Teddy was
q candidate for assembblyman when Just
out of Harvard in 1873; how he was de-
feated as candidate for mayor when
Roscoe Conkling called Mr.. Roosevelt
that dentifcial young man with more
teeth than brains:" and how the oys-
ter Bay hero was finally made civil SER
vice commissioner IL 1889.
The fourth stage was embraced In the
period when Roosevelt hunted big game
out West. where he was known at first
as the "four-eyed tenderfoot." Most Of
the natives have pictures Of Mr.. Roose-
velt as he dressed then-leather
breeches with fringe, blue flannel shirt
a scarlet handkerchief and ivory handled
revolvers stuck In the belt. The young
Roosevelts and their playmstes still
mako the welkin ring about Oyster Bay
with blood-curdling yelps in imitation
of their fathers cowboy days.
Indeed. the people in that part Of Long
Island employ Theodore Roosevelt's s
seven stages as a sort OF calendar,
and they date this and that from the
time Teddy was a police commissioner,
Assistant Secretary of the Navy. rough
rider. governor. and vice president.
Hours Ride From New York.
Oyster Bay is ono hours ride from
New York. on a fast train. The place
contains about 1000 Inhabitants, who are
engaged principally in the shell-fshing
industry. The lofty Sycamore Hill on
whose slopes Mr.. Roosevelt owns 100
acres of land, within the near radius Of
which are located the vast estates of
w. c. Whitney, E. d. Morgan and others,
Is two and one-haIf miles from the

route consists of half a dozen world

No Snobbery.
The Roosevelt children spend the sum-
mer days at Oyster Bay in wholesome
fun, their friends being the children Of
the neighborhood of various stations in
life. Mr.. Roosevelt encourages this In
discriminate association, because he
thinks 1t IAN honest solution Of all
American problems" One will gener-
ally find a a\merry party Of boys and
girls playing ng\imitation warfare. which.
sometimes. becomes very rough. Young
Teddy is usually the leader. and he
gives his commands curtly and concise
couraged to participate in all these
wholesome plays, however rough, be-
cause Mr. Roosevelt believes in "giri
tomboys when they are small" There
is no limit to the pounding and ham,
mering of each other. but cruelty to
animals is strictly forbidden. The lat
ter is carried to such an extent that
when last year big black snake was
caught, Mrs. Roosevelt begged Theodore,
jr., to kill the reptile, but instead he
penned 1t up in a croquet box 1t was
kept there for whole week, during
which time the children became very
much attached to the snake, afterward

At Oyster Bay President Roosevelt
appears more as a man Of letters and
country gentleman than the political
head Of the great nation. and he en-
joys the surroundings there so much
thai. as many persons have remarked
to him. II is a wonder that he should be
tempted therefrom. In reply to one Of
these queries, Mr.. Roosevelt laughingly
replied: That is Just it. l suppose I
am more domestic than anything else,

even for the highest office. should not
be bitterly disappointed. Settling down
