They all Like Archie.

March eighth's bulle tins from
the White house sick room have
been more cheerful, but the keen
anxiety felt here has not been re-
lieved. Diphtheria is treacher-
Gus disease and the president has
been thoroughly exposed, Mrs.
Roosevelt has been constantly at
her child s bedside and Quentin
and Ethel share the same danger.
However, later reports say that
Archie is out of danger, and on
the road to recovery.
This boy, within his little cir
Gle, has won a popularity of his
own as strong as that of his
father and as catholic, for it EN-
braces statesmen and policemen,
diplomats and jackies of the navy,
senators and messengers, the sons
of the great and butchers boy.
And the traits which have won
for the son something of the same
affection in which the father is
held are his fathers S traits, good
nature, bright courage, simple
pure democracy of spirit and
whole hearted loyalty.

leader in the wholesome mischief

youngsters so typical of robust,
spirited American kids. Quite
recently the elaborate and digni-
fed ceremonial of presenting the
British ambassador in full uni
form to the president of the
United States was temporarily
interrupted for warm exchange
of snowballs between Archie
Roosevelt and a. grown up chum
of his, who happened for the
moment to be wearing a sword
and eleven pounds of gold lace
and decorations. One day last
winter visitors at the executive
offices found the approach skill
fully decorated with a fortifica-
ton, on the construction of which
some grinning engineer officer
had given General Archie
Roosevelt points. Mr.. Garfield
and several members of the tennis
cabiner and regular cabinet had
a lively time running past the

Secretary Garfield is one of
their chums. One hot summer
evening he told at the White
house table of prank the little
Garfield boys played at the White
house on such night. The
Garfield urchins slipped out Sc
cretly and went swimming in the
big fountain behind the White
house. The Roosevelt youngsters
listened eagerly and the next
morning the servants discovered
wet paiamas all about the nurse
ry. Since then Mr.. Garfield has
been more careful in reciting his
"reminiscences. The pests of
Archie's life and of the rest of
the children have been photogra-
piers and women tourists who
wanted to kiss them. Whenever
the latter see Archie there are
cries of "the dear little fellow;
isn't he just too sweet" Archie
runs, deep disgust on every line
of his face. He doesn't like to be
messed with by lot of gushy, if
we'll meaning, women any better
than any other self respecting
boy. who feels that he is pretty
near man.
A crowd of women school teach
ers doing Washington" did cor
raj Archie in the east room once,
and he climbed frantically to
safety out of the window, to the
grinning amusement of ushers
and policemen. 1t was Archie
who saw the possibilities of the
terrace roofs for roller skating
rink and threw that sacred terri
tory open to a small horde of his
public school companions. 1t
was furious fun while it lasted,
but the din was so terrific that
the president had to interfere in
order that cabinet meetings could
be conducted wi hout mega
phones. But Archie brought his
skates down to the ground and
he made the paved walks within
the White house fence rattle until
he was taken i'll. Now and then,
when things were quiet, he would
burst into the executive offices
with a whirr of rollers and glide
laughing out again before some
body in authority had time to cry
"Sh-h-h-h!"
Washington saw him first
proudly riding a calico pony,
somewhat taller than bicycle,
which he still has. In rough
rider hat, sweater and riding
breeches like his fathers he
spurred about as fast as the fat,
opinionated pony cared to go,
with groom on bicycle follow,
ing. Once, when the measles
interrupted the activity of White
house childhood, Archie insisted
on having this pony brought up
in the elevator to his room, and
it was done. Now he has beer
promoted to bigger mounts, al.
though he still sticks to the pony
and rides him on occasion.
Archie is rather short ant
slight for his age, but he is stron
and wiry, his fair skin, tanned by
sun and wind, his eyes bright
keen and light blue, and he comes
under the class of tow-heads. Hi

The Panic of BLACK Friday

has recalled, of course. the famous
BLACK Friday" of 1869. But one
thing that added to the dramatic
effect of that day nearly forty
years ago was the connection
with it of the president of the
United States connection, how
ever, that reflected on his sense
of propriety rather than on his
honesty. For though General
Grant was frankly dazzled by
such financial pirates as James
Fisk, ir,. and Jay Gould, they did
not corruptly control him.
Fisk and Gould had recently
obtained control of the Erie rail-
road. They had transferred its
headquarters to a marble palace
up town in New York, which
they furnished with barbaric
splendor. In the same building
was an opera house III which low
class performance were given.
Fisk lived in an adjoining house
and the atmosphere of the whole
esta blishment, as somebody has
written, was not disturbed by
moral prejudices.' Yet Grant
was willing to be publicly enter
tanned by these men while in
New York, and he prestige
which they secured in consequence
helped in their operations.
AT this time gold was at pre-
MUM and prices and wages were
all in paper currency. In August,
1869, Gould formed pool for the
purchase of gold in order to put
the price up. 1t was necessary,
for the success of his corner, to
prevent the government from
selling any of its large stocks Of
metal. So he represented tC
Grant that an advance in the
price of gold. with its correspond.
ing increase in that of wheat,
would start the crops moving and
be great benefit to the country.
Further to safeguard his position
w i I h the administration he
bought gold for A. II. Corbin
t h G presidents brother-il1-law
and for Horace Porter, his private
secretary. Corbin accepted Z
profit of SIS, 900, but Porter re-
pudiated the purchase.
In September while the presi
dent was visiting in Pennsylvani;
at a place twenty eight mile:
from a railroad and remote from
a telegraph station, Gould ant
Fisk started to put the price o
gold up from 1872. 1t went tC
40, when Gould got word from
Corbin that the president wa
distressed oyer the affair and dis
approved of the speculation. a
that Gould determined to get ou
and began to unload. Appar
