 The Presidents comment on the assas- sination was That is very bad.''
 His experience as an author appealed to him also, for he said to a friend This will help Curtis book. It will be a fine advertisement for it.

 Chauncey M. Depew was at the State Fair in Syracuse when the President spoke The crowd called for Depew after the President had finished. Depew spoke for fifteen minutes ant was heartily cheered. There had been few cheers for the Presidents speech, al l though plenty for himself. "I thought wac to be the only speak er," said the President to Lieutenan Governor Higgins, as they were leaving the stand.
 The President takes more physical ex ercise than any other man in Washing l ton.
 His favorite enjoyment is to go horse back riding and to get somebody to g l with him.
 If the friend can't ride very we'll tn | President Is fond e dropping back & bi and then riding up at hard gallop ant | shouting a cowboy "Whoopee,' at tn top of his voice.
 He does this to Senator Lodge very of | ten and Lodge hangs grimly to the pom mel of the saddle while the Presiden laughs.
 The President is very sensitive to news | paper criticism. He lectures reporters SC verely when they print anything he doe not like. He thinks nothing should b printed in administration papers that in any way incomparable with his dignity l whether the story is true or not. l He has had two reporters removed iron their assignments within the last tw years for printing things he did not like He wrote personal letters to the/edltor about these reporters, too. and both o them had printed true stories. Similarly the President is fond of praise. He like l to read nice sentiments about himself il | the newspapers. He Is not so great newspaper reader as President McKinle was, but he patronizcs the press-clippin bureaus and pores over the clippings ev l cry day.
 President Roosevelt is generous with hi condolences. He will tell his friends any thing. and then bind them not to revea what he has said.

 Mr. Roosevelt always start his speeche the same way. He says: Ladies an gentlemen. and you, Sons of Veterans" O you something else, or 'you" thus an sO He likes to pick out a man in his au dience and talk to him. He did this a Syracuse when he opened the State faii picking out a Grand Army man and ad dressing him exclusively for five minute: much to 'he embarrassment of the Gran Army man.
 MT. Roosevelt Is not an attractive pui lie speaker. He generally reads hi speeches from printed slips. and keep close to the text. He writes and dictate nuently. and has an esnectal fondness fc the word ''very.'' which Is sprinkle through his public addresses and docu ments and his private correspondence.

 he thinks It is as wei to say nothing
