Then it is not for the world, it
is for the righteous as he has
said.

cies of public business win permit, will rest
thoroughly during the Christmas holidays.

of-door recreation, and. with members of
his family and with personal friends. will
walk. drive and ride on horseback several
hours of each day.

the President has been under o tremendous
strain. mental and physical. Many hours
OF every day and night have been spent in
receiving callers, with whom he has dis
cussed scores of important questions In
the experience of the oldest White House
attaches no President ever received so many
people in the same length of time as Mr.
Roosevelt has received during the past
month He has endured the strain with
scarcely outward evidence of fatigue,
but he feels the need of a respite from so
constant demand upon his time and
strength. and proposes to take 1t.
If the present plans are followed the reg
ular cabinet meetings will be held as usual
next week, but IL is likely they Will be prin-
cipally OF a routine character. Only busi-
ness of pressing Importance will be taken
up by the President during the holiday re-
