day Morning.

NEW YORK, March 22-Accompanied by
two of his children, Miss Ethel and Ker-
NIT, ex-President Roosevelt arrived here

children's nurse, Mrs. Mary Ledwith. on
East ~Thirty-second street, going thither
with his brother-ln-law Douglas Robinson,
who had met him at the Long Island ferry
in the Robinson automobile.
Mr.. Roosevelt found Mrs. Ledwith, who
is about rs years old, in a three-room
apartment, which is shared also by Miss
Katherine Daily, also a former nurse for
the Roosevelt children. Miss DAILY was i'll
in bed. Mr.. Roosevelt told Mrs. Ledwtth
that he could not go to Africa without
calling to see her first, and Mrs. Ledwith
replied that she was afraid to have him go
there, fearing that he would be killed.
Don't worry about that" replied Mr..
Roosevelt with a laugh. Nothing like
that is going to happen. You know l am
a pretty good shot"
Mr.. R~oosevelt's morning program in
cluded a visit to the editorial offices Of
the Outlook and one to Douglas Robinson's
offices downtown. where some personal
business matters claimed his attention.
Following his trip to HOboken to inspect
his quarters on the steamer Hamburg, Mr..
Roosevelt planned to lunch with his sisters,
Mrs. Douglas Robinson and Mrs. w. s.
Cowles, at the Robinson home.
Mr.. Roosevelt gave an informal farewell
reception to a number of magazine editors
and others, including Robert ]. Collier,
Mark Sullivan, Norman Hapgood, DR.. AL
bert Shaw, Eugene Philbin. James r. Car
field and DR.. Lyman Abbott and his staff.
A crowd of 400 or 500 persons which had
gathered in the street, cheered Mr.. Roose-
welt as he left his office to visit the steamer
Hamburg in Hoboken. On the inspection
of the apartment which he is to occupy on
that steamer Mr.. Roosevelt was accom-
panied by the three naturalists who are
to him to Africa, Major Ed
ward A. Means, Edmund Heller and j..
Alden Loring, Mr.. Roosevelt appeared to
be satisfied with the arrangements, and
after looking over the baggage which had
arrived at the pier, returned to New York.

Proof of Philosophers Words That
"Fame Is a Bubble"

Before engaging our carriage for a

ignorance of the one assigned us. but
the climax came at the entrance to

BOUND THEY SHOULD HEAR IT.
Minister'S Humorous Rebuke to Inat-
tentive Congregation.

DR.. Smith Jelliffe, the alienist, was
once talking about campaign oratory.
Blank" he said of a certain sena'
tor. lis such a thorough-going. pains
taking, and withal tedious, campaign
orator that, whenever l hear him,
am reminded of an old-fashioned min,
lister of my boyhood.
This minister. one Sunday morn
ing, spread before him on the reading
desk very thick packet of notes,
and launched into long. dry. heavy
sermon.
THE reading of the sermon abb
sorbed him. He did not once lift his
eyes. On toward the end. however,
happening to glance up, he perceived
almost the entire congregation to be
sound asleep.
1.-THE minister frowned and paused.
He struck the desk resounding blow
that awakened his parishioners. Then
he said:
my good friends. this sermon cost
me great deal of labor, and do not
think you have given 1t the attention
it deserves. shall, therefore, repeat
1t from the beginning

gEMEaeoN's MEMORY AT FAULT.
Had at Times Mmo-t e-"'re Lack
Of Remembrance.

know where she lives. but hope she
won't ask me her name" and then he
proceeded to describe her as the
mother OF the wife Of the young man
the tall man---who speaks SO we'll"
and so on. until his interlocutor
guessed to whom he was referring.
Even the names OF common objects
often failed him completely. On one
occasion, when he wanted an umbrel-
la. he said: ~ can't tell its name, but
can tell it's history. Strangers take
1t away"
This failing of Emerson led to a
pathetic scene when he attended
Longfellows funeral, and remarked as
he gazed at the coffin: "He was a
sweet and beautiful soul; but l have
entirely forgotten his name.'

vuloaritv Of ouarreIIno.

There must be satisfaction In tor
turing human beings, for it is done so
often. Nobody blames a wife for up
holding her self-respect and resenting
insult. but there is little sympathy for
one who deliberately drives a man to
deeds of rudeness and violence. Nag
ging and Indulgence In bad temper
leave indelible marks on the face Of a
woman, on her voice and on her char
acter. They shrivel up whatever
sweetness nature has put into her dis
position and make her unlovely, even
in the eyes Of those who feel In duty
bound to give her affection. 1t is often
hard to maintain silence under provo
cation, but there is always the open
door of escape, you know. A quarrel
does not thrive when fed from one
side only, and what should be impor-
tant to every woman with pretenses
to refinement is the undisputed vul-
gartty of pickering. Education and
refinement are supposed to lift us SO
Tar above vulgarity that even the hens
of our skirts are MISUNDERSTANDING

"Yes,p and mo"

1t is useful accomplishment to be
able to say mo-" but it certainly is the
essence of amiability to prefer to say
yes" where 1t is possible. There. is
something wrong in the man who does
not hate himself whenever he Is con-
strained to say no" And there was a
great deal wanting in this born dis
senter. He was almost shockingly de-
void of weaknesses; he had not
enough of them to be truly polar with
humanity; whether you called him a
demigod or demi-man, he was at
least not altogether one Of US. for he
was not touched with feeling of our
fnflrmities. The worlds heroes have
room for ell positive qualities, even
those which are disreputable. in the
capacious theater OF their dispositions.
Such can live many lives; while a
Thoreau can live but one, and that
only with perpetual foresight.-Robert
Louis Stevenson.

For Good Speaking Voice.

Don't contract the throat when
speaking. Try to keep 1t free. the
cords flexible and easy to manage.
Don't forget that 1t is worth practicing
in the privavy of ones room to learn
the natural register, the tones in
which the voice works best. By these
exercises there is not the slightest
danger of becoming declamatory. A
declamatory style of conversation is a
horror, but much will be gained if
one tries the experiment of making a
tone reach the next room without
raising the pitch Of the voice. This
means deep breathing, chest expan-
sion and head held erect. Without
these three 1t is impossible to have
good speaking voice-a fact worth
remembering.

prudaerx In the ..tchen,

The path Of progress is clear. There
is no more reason by the woman
in modern civilization should scrub
and cook and darn and dust than there
is why these thins should be done
by men. The development OF i'm
proved machinery and the growth OF
labor saving devices of all kinds will
finally obviate the necessity of doing
these things each day in each home
through the land. Cooperation, which
we are slowly learning to greet as a
friend. will overcome the drudgery
and make the life of woman as en-
joyable and eventful as that OF the
man.-Nearing and Watson in Eco
nomics''

The Dress of a Good Wife.

Her clothes are comely rather than
costly, and she makes plain cloth to
be velvet by her handsome wearing of
it. She is none of our dainty danes,
who love to appear in variety of suits
every day new-as II a good gown,
like stratagen In war, were to be
used but once; but our good wife sets
up sail according to the keel of her
husbands estate; and If Of high par
entage, she does not so remember
what she was by birth. that she for
gets what she is by match.

In Beautiful sepulcher.

The last resting place of the great
Norwegian composer, Edward Grieg,
is one of the most beautiful in Its nat
ural surroundings that could be imag-
med. BY the side Of a lake, at the ex-
tr ,ty Of ford, close to the compos-
er's native town of Bergen, there Is a
natural grotto formed in the solid
rock. which rises precipitously from
Inc waters edge. Here the bones OF
the famous musician are buried, and,
as the grotto is only accessible from
the lake, the funeral cortege will have
to make the journey by water.
