SOME STRIKING INCIDENTS IN
PRESIDENT ROOSEyELT'.s CAREER

In the '.ro,r # President Roosevelt
there ar, many odd facts and striking
incidents
lie WIS the Only Nrr-Prt >d,rr who
succeeded IT, the Presidency by the
death of the incumbent and who was
subsequently elected to thHt high office.
He j. Il stllng" combination of the
practical and theoretical politician.
He has high ideals t. which he tcra-
ciously c!ingS.
He is one of the few otiiceholdcrs in
the history Of American politics who
won Il series of promotions along the
appointivc scale. Until he was elected
Governor of New York he had held
only one elective office that of New
York aSSemblyman. He was defeated
for Mayor of New York. He was sue
cessively appointed civil service com
missioner, police commissioner of New
York and assistant secretary of the
Navy
He is the only President who has
taken rank us an author of other than
State papers. He. has written extern
sively on economic. historical and po-
litical subjects. He found much to
criticize in the acts and politics of
Presidents of the United States, little
dreaming at the time when he penned
the words that he himself would be
President and Il subject for contem-
poraneou's and future historians.
He is the only President who has
taken prominence as all athlete.
He is the most extensively Travelled of
all Presidents.
Probably the only utterance to which
he has not adhered was that made dur
ing the exciting period following the
death OF Mr.. Mckinley, when he said he
would not be "A candidate in 1904 for
the Presidential nomination. He was
thoroughly in earnest when he gave
vent to the expression. but things 50
shaped themselves that he became, with
out any effort on his part, the leader of
his party. He could not have averted
the nomination, if no had tried, and,
perhaps, it will be necessary for him at
spmctime in the future to retract his
promise not again to be a candidate for
the Presidency.
No President at the beginning Of what
may be termed his second administers
ti0n was ever SO thoroughly master CT
Mr.. Roosevelt knows men, and knows
how to use men. The possession of
these qualities is necessary to the sue
cess of the President Of "A republic, who
is not sustained by classes of men,
prccedcnts and laws. Mr.. Mckinley
possessed these qualities to a high de-
gree and hence his marked success as an
executive.
That he Possesses courage to a marked
degree is illustrated by his attitude
toward the Northern Securities Com
Ianv aud toward the Beef Trust. suit
against which is now pending before the
United States Supreme Court.
Mr.. Roosevelt has proved since the
election by declarations in his MESA &c
the falsity of the campaign accusation
that he WAS ''hand-in-glove' with the

f"rtuitouS circumstances at that time
than by any effort Cf his own he be-
cane the l,lrty leader.
His attitude since he hcramc rccog-
nizcd rs his r"ltyiS leader, has, how
ever. been different than when first he
assumed the Presidency. As Il leader
he boldly attacked the trust question
and thus gave his party Il new and live
issue. and created for himself Il dis
tinctive position III American politics. In
other words he has been and is now u
President who leads. He may be said
to be stronger than his party, a posi-
ton occupied by jefferson. Jackson and
Lincoln at both Of their elections: by
Grant in his first canvass and by Tay-
lor. Mr.. RNosevelt's personal popularity
AS the Vice Presidential candidate
strengthened the mckinley ticket in
1900. and his Presidency gave the vic
tory to his party in the Congressional
election of 1902.
Mr.. Roosevelt takes rank with JEFF
ferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Grant and
and individual action.
jefferson, despite his mistakes in at
tempting to fight England with embar-
goes and other sorts OF trade restric-
tons instead Of by raising an army and
building up Il navy, as Washington, or
Adams would have done. had hypno-
tized the country to such an extent that,
near the close of his second term. even
al - ..t,,n lAl1 .lyn
chusetts asked him to accept IL third
election. The popularity of that other
great Democrat, Jackson, was 80 de-
cided and emphatic that he was able
with impunity to asSail the Constitution
and the laws in more places in q time
of peace than Lincoln did in the midst
of n civil war. Not only did Jackson
hold the Presidency two terms, but he
also dictated the choice Of his successor
Van Buren,, and the latter was proud to
intimate, in one of his messages to
Congress, that he was governing tho
country on lines which Jackson laid
down. Though Jackson provoked "a
Schism in his own ranks and built up
the party of the Wings. he easily and
overwhelmingly beat all the Wings and
seeding Democrats who antagonized

House.
Since the accession Of Mr.. Roosevelt
all the great figures of the Civil War
and of the exciting parliamentary and
legislative struggles have either passed
out of view or are content to remain in
harness while others younger and
stronger really pull the load
Mr.. Roosevelt is the fifth Nicc-PrcSi-
dent who succeeded to the Presidency
by the death of the President. Others
were Mr.. Tyler in 1871, Mr.. Fillmore in
1850, Mr.. Johnson in 1865 and Mr.. Ar
thur in 1881. OF these Mr. Roosevelt
was the only one to he nominated by
his party for the Presidency. All, how
ever made efforts at one time or another
to carry off the honor.

As he was leaving the house, deep

colonel. There was something about
Monty's greeting, cordial as it was,
that gave the older man hint as to
the situation.

he asked in the hope that his sus-
picion was groundless.

and he was off before the colonel could

ant, no longer the cold man Of the
world. Back to Brewster's mind came
the thought of his quarrel with Bar
bara and of her heartlessness. A
scratch of the pen one way or the 9TH
err could change the life of Barbara
Drew. The two bankers stood by,
scarcely breathing. From outside came
the shuttle of many feet and the muf-
fed roll of voices. Again the door to
the private Office opened and a clerk
excitedly motioned for Mr.. Moore to
hurry to the front of the bank. Moore
paused irresolutely, his eyes on Brew
ster's face. The young man knew the
time had come when he must help or
deny them.
Like fash the situation was made
clear to him. and his duty was plain.
He remembered that the Bank of Man
haitian Island held every dollar that
Mrs. Gray and Peggy possessed. Their
meager fortune had been intrusted to
the care of Prentiss Drew and his as
sociates, and 1t was In danger.
IT will do all / can, colonel" said
Monty, but upon one condition"
THAT is?"
Barbara must never know of this"
The colonel's gasp of astonishment
was cut short as Monty continued,
Promise that she shall never know"
II don't understand, but If it is your
wish promise"
Inside Of half an hours time several
hundred thousand came to the relief
OF tho struggling bank, and the man
who had come to watch the run with
curious eyes turned out to be it's saw
ior. His money won the day for the
Bank Of Manhattan Island. When the
happy president and directors offered
to pay him an astonishingly high rate
OF interest for the use of the money
he proudly declined.
The next day Miss Drew issued in
vitations for cotillon. Mr.. Mont
gomery Brewster was not asked to at
tend.

"TnaTs all right, Monty" she an
swered. "Give me until after Christ
mas and I'll have the finest favors
ever seen. Other people may have
their paper hats and pink ribbons, but
you can show them how the thing

Her reference to Christmas haunted
Brewster as he drove down Fifth ave-
nue. with the dread Of new disaster.
Never before had he looked upon pres
ents as calamity. but this year II
was different Immediately he began

with costly trinkets, when he grew sud

IN response TO a telegram Swearengen
Jones, with pleasing irascibility. In
formed him that "any one with a drop
OF human kindness In his body would
consider II his duty to give Christmas
presents to those who deserved them"
Monty's way was now clear. IL his
friends meant to handicap him with

two weeks his mornings were spent at

pleasantly surprised on Christmas eve.
AS tt turned out, be Jared very we'll

days much OF his time was spent In
reading notes of profuse thanks which
were yet vaguely apologize. The Grays
and Mrs. Dan had remembered him
with an agreeable lack Of ostentation,
and some of the Little Sons of the
Rich who had kept one evening

were only too generously grateful.
Miss Drew had forgotten him, and
