FIFTY YEARS OLD TO-DAY
President Roosevelt Has Led Siren
uous Life-confiden of MIR.
Taft's Election.
Snecial' to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Washington, D. c., Oct. 27.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt was fifty years old to-
dav. He was the recipient of many
congratulations, but passed the day
very much according to the routine
which marks his everyday life. The
progress of Mr. Tafts campaign for
the presidency seemed to occupy
more of his attention than his birth
day and was the chief topic of con-
yersation with the many callers whom
he received during the day.
Twenty-eight strenuous birthdays
have passed over Mr.. Roosevelts head
since he left Harvard with his diplo-
ma in $780, His twenty-second birth
day, the first after his graduation
from college, was spent in Europe,
where he was travelling to recover
from the effects of hard study. Upon
returning home he plunged at once
into the malestrom of municipal poll
tics. and his twenty-third birthday
found him campaigning for election
to the New York General Assembly.
AT twenty-four Mr.. Roosevelt was
known all over the country as new
power in the Albany halls of legisla-
ton. At twenty-five he was complet-
ing his term in the legislature and
- fap fhrO1ot his
strenuous work as head of the legis-
lafiye committee appointed to investi-
gate New York's municipal admins
tration.
Mr.. Roosevelt's twenty-sixth birth
day found him on the stump speaking
in behalf of the republican national
ticket. The previous summer, as
chairman of the New York delegation,
he had opposed the nomination of
Mr.. Blaine, but when Mr.. Blaine be-
came the choice of the convention,
Mr.. Roosevelt fell into line and work
ed for the party candidates sue
cess.
Mr.. Roosevelt passed his twenty
seventh birthday on his ranch in the
Bad Lands, cultivating the acquaint-
ance of ranchmen. rustlers and COW
punchers, who subsequently were tot
form the, nucleus of his regiment OF
Rough Riders.
At twenty-eight he was again in
the turmoil of New York City poll
tics. Henry George was a candidate
for mayor. Abram S. Hewitt was the
nominee of the democrats. Mr.. Roose.
welt was put in the field by the re-
publicans Mr.. Hewitt won.
During his twenty-ninth and thir-
tieth years Mr.. Roosevelt was engaged
chiefly in literary work and in hunt
ing big game. During this period OF
his career he passed many months in
hunting the grizzly bears and other
fierce wild animals of the West.
His thirty-fist birthday found him a
member of the United States Civil
Service Commission, to which he was
appointed by President Harrison.
President Cleveland retained him in
office and he continue to serve until
1896.
At thirty-seven Mr.. Roosevelt was
president of the New York Board OF
Police Commissioners. Within
month after taking hold of this office
he had become at once the best hated
and best liked man in New York. He
overhauIed the police department
and effectually stopped the police
blackmail of saloon keepers. This
work kept him busy for two years.
At thirty-nine Mr.. Roosevelt was
assistant secretary of the navy. His
fortieth birthday, following his siren

THE NECK RUFF.
II Reached Its Full Glory In the Six
teenth Century.

tecntn century.
One OF the most peculiar and inter
estlng evolutions I'm historic fashion Is
the growth and development Of the
ruff In England. This ruff began its
career as humble little something
like n tuck running along the top OF
the chemisette from shoulder TO shoul-
der. You can see 1t grow In the
portraits OF royal personages slowly,
but surely, like great linen flower
opening It's plated petals from genera
tlon TO generation. During the reign
OF Henry VII. 1t was scarcely more
than budding eXcrescence, but with
Henry VIII. IL had outgrown Its tuck
stage to the extent OF reaching up to
the ears and was beginning to sport
mild flare. Those were the days OF
such strict sumptuary laws that In or
der TO wear black genet you must be
royal, to wear sable you must outrank
your viscount neighbor, to wear mar
ten or velvet trimmings you must be
able TO show an income OF over 200
marks year. The reign Of Edward
VI. and Queen Mary merely fostered
the ruff without encouraging II to any
greater development But Queen Eliza
beth, seeing in II possibilities for Off
setting her red hair and clear skin,
famed 1t into vigorous life. In the six
teenth century the ruff burst into full
bloom. Men and women, even tiny
princesses, were overshadowed by the
stlfr rays OF the ruff on all great occa-
sions. Even over France, Germany
and Italy 1t spread its white pinions
and held unquestloned sway until 1t
fell with the Roundheads.

FISHES FACES.

The Fascination They Have For One
Lover Of Nature.
Did you ever stop to examine the
expression on the face Of fish? l
do not mean Of some notoriously gro
tesque fish, but OF just any plain sea
faring fish. / confess that the fascina-
tion for me Is the same whether l
stand in front Of some great collection
OF little monstrosities like that In the
Naples aquarium or whether / sit by
my dining room window and contem-
plate the goldfish In my little boys
glass bowl. People watch the mon
keys ut the zoo and remark how hu-
man they are, how sly and crafty the
old ones, how cute and playful the
young ones. But for steady company
give me the fish How restful they
are with their mouthings, as regular
as II they were governed by n balance
wheel. How quiet, too, for not one
word OF murmured protest or Of chat
tering fault finding do they in6ict upon
us! How philosophical as they bask
in the sun the livelong day or seek
the occasional shade OF the modest
sprig Of green's which forms the
conventional garnishing Of their wa
terry abode! How easily gratified are
their simple tastes! Surely with their
good manners, their quiet department
and their stoical bearing goldfish are
the ideal companions Of the mature
man. Monkeys and dogs and kittens
may amuse the children by their tricks
and antics. but only the grown man
can appreciate the solid qualities Of
the fishs character as written upon
his features.-Atlantic Monthly.

A SHORT SPEECH.
Made by an Indian Chief In Reply 20
a Government Agent.


Old Shah-bah-S Skong, the head chief
of Mile Lac, brought all his warriors
to defend Fort Ippley In 1862. The
secretary Of the Interior and the gov
ernor and legislature OF Minnesota
promised these Indians that for this
act OF bravery they should have the
special care OF the government and
never be removed.
A few years later special agent
was sent from Washington TO ask the
Ojlbways to cede their lands and re-
move to a country north OF Leech
lake. The agent asked my help.
said:
81 know that country. ! have camp
ed on It, It is the most worthless strip
OF land In Minnesota. The Indians are
not fools. Don't attempt this folly.
You will surely come to grief"
He called the Indians In council and
said:
"My red brothers, your great father
has heard how you have been wrong
ed He said, Il will send them an hon
est man He looked In the north, the
south, the east and the west. When
he saw me, he said, This is the hon
est man whom / will send to my red
children Brothers, look at me! The
winds Of ffty-fve years have blown
over my head and silvered 1t with
gray, and In all that time have never
done wrong to any man. AS your
friend ask you to sign this treaty"
Old Shah bah-Skong sprang to his
feet and said:
"liy friend, look at mel The winds
Of more than fifty winters have blown
over my head and sllvered II with
gray, but they have not blown my
brains away"
That council was ended.

TWO VERSIONS.
Story Of the Climb ~ Told by the
Tourist and the Guide.

Tourist and the Guide.
HE was touring the Bernese Ober-
land. At the Bear hotel In Grindewald
4 mountaineer sat In the hall, a glass Of
beer before him and his feet, in their
hobnailed mountain boots, extended to
ward the fire. The mountaineer had
Just made an ascent Of the Tiger, and
he talked like this about It:
"Well, well, well, climb indeed
four hours OF incessant step cutting
with an ak on an Ice slope as smooth
as glass and as steep as a wall. Look
at this bunch OF edelweiss. / spied II
on the edge Of a dreadful precipice.
My guide refused to let me pluck It;
said IL was madness. For his part he
would not risk his life so foolishly.
But at last, what with eloquence and
an offer OF 200 francs, l persuaded him
to come along. The advance was awful.
One misstep meant death. But ! Sc
cured the flower, when suddenly the
guides foot slipped, he fell and began
to roll toward the edge. But ! thrust
my ax firmly into the Ice and, bracing
myself, seized the rope that bound us
together, and-the man was saved
"And at the same time In the hotel
kitchen the guide was giving another
version OF the ascent In words like
these:
"'Well, well, what a customer! An
other like that chap and give up the
business. From the start he was faint
and dizzy. In fact, wherever any real
climbing began we had to carry him
like sack OF meal. And mean! Re
fused us a single penny extra for all
our extra trouble. Last Of all, he beg
ged for the sprig Of eidelweiss ! wore
in my hat, and was fool enough to let
him have it.'"-New York Times.

Swankers.

A number OF our contemporaries ap-
pear to be somewhat exercised as 10
the precise meaning OF the word
"swank." Swank, though usually
called by other names, is the leading
characteristic of Englishmen. French
men used TO talk OF 'perfdious AL
bion." IL was simply another way
OF calling us swankers. To swank Is.
broadly, TO make the thing that is not
seem as the thing that is. - London
