President Rooseuelt's
Retreat at Pine Knot.

Probably no ruler in the world
has such a modest country home as
the president of the United States. It
is situated in the heart of the wilder
ness, in the state of Virginia, and is
called Pine Knot because it is nearly
hidden in a clump of trees. The house
was partly built of the timber of trees
cut in the woodland to make clearing
for it, and the porch in front is sup
ported by posts of these trees left in
their natural state.
The Roosevelt home is so far away
from the nearest railroad that the
president and his family are Obliged to
ride horseback or drive in vehicle
for several hours after leaving their
car to reach it. The nearest. commu-
nifty of any size is over twenty miles
distant, and. so few people live in this
part of the United States that between
the town and Pine Knot only about ten
houses can be seen.

BREEDING AN IDEAL
AMERICAN HORSE.
Uncle Sam Hopes to Produce One That VIII Combine
Attributes of Style fiction and Beauty

When President Roosevelt visited
Colorado a few months ago he called.

government horse breeding station re-

At this experiment station, under
the Colorado state agricultural col

to develop the ideal American carriage.
horse. The great stallion, Carmon.
formerly Thomas w. Lawson's Glori-
GUS Thundercloud, has been selected
as the head of the stud. This great
horse, after the mature deliberation
OF committee of experts, was Sc
lected as being the nearest to the
ideal type Of horse which it is pro-
posed to develop. There are nineteen
mares, all of high breeding and Sc
lected with the same care that marked
the selection of Carmon, and it is
hoped, by proper care and selection,
to develop a style of horse that will
be typically American, and that it will
nave all the attributes of action, style
in rest, endurance, lung capacity and
power.
The horse breeding experiment sta.
ton has been established only about
year and a half. There are thirteen
colts running about the great pasture.
and these show all the markings and
characteristics of the highest bred
type of horsefesh. It is not. expected
to develop the ideal American horse
at once. however. If satisfactory
type is developed in twenty years, or
in the course of a generation, the sci
entists who are making this important
experiment in evolution will be more
than satisfied. It is realized that the
work must be slow, and that years
must elapse before success can crown
the work. Everything depends Oh the
start, however, and it is gratifying to
learn that the leading horsemen of
the country commend the beginning
that has been made by the govern
ment, and have every faith in the
type of horse to be developed from
mares that now form the nucleus Of
the government stud
Not a move has been made in this
Important work without the most ma
ture deliberation. A. D. Melvin, chief
of the bureau of animal industry at
Washington, has been in touch with
the work from the outset, the expe-
riment being directly under his de-.

active charge of the work, is one of

person must realize that cold baths
are bad.
There is really no way can suggest
that person can tell whether or not
cold baths are good for him, except by
the glow and bodily warmth that
should follow I think if the finger
nails look blue and the body is covered
with goosefesh after the bath that it
is too strenuous, says the physician.
AS to the method of taking baths,
believe that needle, shower or bath
sponge is best, for few are strong.
enough to stand a plunge and as to
sitting or lying in tub of cold water,
would say unhesitatingly that it is
unwise, for it takes too much animal
heat and results in loss of energy
that is unnecessary. Frequently those
who are not strong enough to take
cold water bath as it comes from the
spigot will find it immensely beneficial
when a bag of salt is placed in the
tub; or by taking the chill off with the
addition Of warm water, the bath will
still be practically cold, for the tenn
perature will be much cooler than the
body.
Cold baths should, as a rule, be
taken only in the morning directly af.
ter rising, unless a person is very
warm and wants cold tub on a hot
day or in few cases of extreme IA
tigue. When very warm would sug-
gest that the individual wait until the
perspiration is entirely dried on the
body before getting into the water.
For the shock to the nerves and the
rapidity with which the blood is drawn
to the surface of the skin by the cold
is not good. This same rule applies to
salt water bathing. And many per-
sons who jump into the surf when very
warm and covered with perspiration
often wonder why they feel nauseated
after they have been in few minutes.
One Of the most refreshing baths
have ever taken is combination of
the cupful of cider vinegar and cold
water. If it is not too cold would
suggest lying in it from five to ten
minutes when particularly fatigued,
for the reaction is remarkable.
There is this to be guarded against
in cold water bathing, that it is not to
be done unless the person is physically
fit, never when the thought of the cold
on the body brings a shiver or if one
feels weak. At such times a bath in
tepid water will be far better and will
have no bad results, as the cold one
might.

This he admitted would be placing great inconvenience on the whites, who would have to be in- cluded in the law because of the Fifteenth amendment, but he declared If this plan or some peaceable one was not adopted immediately, the country was surely rush. ing toward the brink of an abyss which meant a horrible and bloody race war of extermination.
 His speech was heard by thousands of people and enthusiastically received. The Atlanta riots, he declared, had illumin- ated the situation, and shown the peo- pie they were living on the crust of vol cano. The riot he believed would too soon be repeated in other sections If no other solution of the problem was found.
