That the child is the father Of the man.
and that the dominant traits of character
which are apparent in youth become only
more developed in later years. is a fact so
well known as to have grown proverbial.
In no one has this been better exemplif1ed
than in Theodore Roosevelt, now President
of the United States. AS example of the
sturdy manhood and the inherent dislike to
claim any honor that was won by accident.
which is so characteristic OF him. nothing
can be more striking than the following
authentic story of his college days recently
told by classmate of his.
When young Roosevelt entered Harvard
College he was light and slender stripping
with strong taste for athletics. which.
from his innate aggressiveness, naturally
found its chief vent in sparring. In this
he was handicapped by his inability to see
without glasses, but his natural bent was
too strong to be subdued by bodily in
capacities and, like Dow in his WELL he
kept 'pegging away until In his junior
year he had acquired an amount Of skill
and cleyerness that more than com2en-
stated for his defective vision. 1t was at
this time that boxing was the favorte
sport at the university, and matches were
constantly being made and brought Off not
only of the students with each other, but
with those of sister institutions. In these
he took prominent part, and having in
creased in size and weight had gradually
fought his way up from the bantam to the
top Of the middle weight class. Toward the
close of the term boxing tournament had
been arranged with college that has been
ever one Of Harvari's warmest rivals, and
the feeling and excitement that prevailed
can hardly be appreciated outside of an I'M
der-gNaduate world. Young Roosevelt was
one of the team selected to represent his COL
lege. and when the night arrived there was
not even standing room in the gymnasium.
The trepezes the hanging bars, every
point of vantage. even to the cross beams
of the roof being occupied by excited and
enthusiastic students.
A Foul Blow.
When Roosevelt entered he was greeted
with the usual applause, and having laid
his glasses carefully aside, he advanced to
the middle of the ring, where he awaited
his adversary. After few moments, see
ing form looming against him, he ex-
tended his gloved right hand for the pre-
urinary handshake, in perfect good faith,
relaxation. There are tricks in all trades,
to horseflesh and pugilism, and this man

A ridiculous notion is common that we
live in q time when there are more inn

been known before; and there are silly peo-
pie. both men and women who expect to be
admired for useless expenditure of their
nervous and physical energies on all sorts
of absolutely foolish objects into which no
particle of intellect eaters. Simply to be
always busy, always occupied, always doing
something, passing restlessly from one
piece of work to another, TO have their
hands full, never to be idle. as they say,
seems to be their ideal of life.
These precious muddieTs, who plume
themselves on nsyer being idle. pass their
time doing useless things under the pre-
text OF being busy. and they assume credit
Cor purposeless ACTIVITY. The biggest peo-
pie, those who have really thought out their

til it seemed If all the voices of both
universities had joined in one hoarse and
excited protest. In the din and confusion
that ensued, no words could be heard or de-
tails understood but the referee had
dered the man from the ring and had given
the decision to Roosevelt, when he appeared
once more upon the scene. Having regained
his glasses and recovered somewhat from
the totally unexpected attack, he jumped to
the front of the ring, and waving his arms
above his head with the gesture that has
become historical he shouted, Don't get
excited, gentlemen, don't get excited he
did not mean to do 1t. He did not mean to
do it. He lost his head and acted on an
impulse. He did not mean to do it." Grad
ually the tumult subsidized voices grew still
and the uproar ceased.

Then Roosevelt turned and, finding the
ring deserted, rushed to the dressing room.
and at once reappeared literally dragging
his quondam foe, with one arm lovingly en-
twined about his neck. Again the shouts
OF shame" and foul filled the air until

What followed is now a matter of history
In the traditions of his college, and In the
annals of his class. Unfortunately In real
life things do not, at all times, turn out as
they do in story books and the race is not
always to the swift nor the battle to the
strong, but on this particular occasion Mr.
Theodore Roosevelt administered a most
complete and scientific thrashng to his
tricky competitor. until out-pointed and
out-generaled- his seconds threw up the
sponge In accordance with the most unani-
mously popular decision that was ever rem
dered to two contesting colleges.
Since that time Mr.. Roosevelt has re-
ceived the highest honors that can be con-
ferred on a citizen of the United States.
and with them the plaudits that are In
separable from the office of Its chief execu-
tive But it is an even question If, when,
like Father William his thoughts go back
to the days of his youth. In his heart OF
hearts, he does not agree with our erst-
while political friend, that on this occasion
he had rather have been right than been
