NICHOLAS LONGWORTH.
The Sort of Man Hiss RooSeUelt Is
to Be Married To.

Congressman Nicholas Longworth, whom Miss
Alice Roosevelt is TO wed has several points in
common with the President Mr.. Longworth
comes from a family long accustomed to mingle
In the best type OF American social life He
has an income which removes any temptation to
become fnancier and leaves him free to en-
gage in politics with the same motives which
led Theodore Roosevelt to enter on his career
BE is a graduate of Harvard University and
Iond OF outdoor sports In their choice of sports
however, is indicated one of the points OF di-
Fergence While President Roosevelt likes the
strenuous life of the ranch and the hunt as
We'll as lawn tennis and boxing Congressman
Longworth is not hunter. He is a horseman
and golfer. He boxes. fences and plays hand
ball and tennis He has record as swimmer.
But according to all reports, he never shot a
living thing
He is fifteen years older than Miss Roosevelt
having been born in Cincinnati thirty-six years
ago His preliminary education was in the pub
hc schools Of his native city He received the
degree Of A 5. from Harvard University in 1891
Although a member Of the Cincinnati bar, he
has never been known to have case in court
for he gives little time to the law spending 1-lost
of that not required by his legislative and po-
1tical work in the affairs of his estate and with
his social duties.
While his promotion in political life has been
comparatively rapid. like President Roosevelt he
has known the taste of defeat He not dis
couraged. however, because he was defeated the
first time he ran for an Office This was in 1897
when he a candidate for the State Iegis-
lature. His next opportunity occurred two years
later. This time, by dint CT hard canvassing and
& growing popularity, he was one Of the sue
cessful candidates When elected he was serving
as member of the Cincinnati Board OF Edu-
cation From the lower house Of the Ohio Legis-
lature he entered the State Senate, and In 1903

State He is also a member of the Stamina Re
publican League which is being reorganized In
harmony with the political views of President
Roosevelt and Secretary Taft
MT Ieongworth is described as somewhat re-
served and little given to exuberancs OF feehns-
He is said to be cautious in entering upon
plan, but once he has decided upon line O,
action he carries if out with energy. He Is de-
cisive in his methods. and those who understand
him least say that he is too abrupt at times and
inclined to be impatient He is not remarkable
as a public speaker, but is not easily dlscon-
certed when on his feet What he says Is Oh

THE SERIOUS REFLECTION.

John S. Wise is responsible for story Of a
banquet of humorists at which one man refused
SO much as to smile at the best jokes which

"How can L laugh when remember that every
