THE ENDING OF THE ROOSEVELT
REGIME.

At the white House is heard the sound
OF hammers. The Roosevelts are getting
ready to move. On Pennsylvania Avenue
are heard the sounds OF saw and plane.
Preparations are being made for the
procession that Is to witness the entry OF
a new president upon his duties. At the
other end of the avenue IN the Capitol,
the sound OF shocking OF another sort
Is dying away. The days OF the conflict
OF Congress with the most strenuous of
presidents is about over. For seven years
and half the central figure Of our ma
tional history almost increasingly. and
for considerable portion OF that time
the most conspicuous figure In world
history, has been Theodore Roosevelt. Up
to the very last he holds his place In
the center Of the stage, cutting and
thrusting and parrying. his enemies as
Keen as ever his friends as jubilant as
ever As spectacle, the Roosevelt re-
glme mas been continuous dramatic
success he has given the newspapers
an" magazines more news.topics than
any other occupant Of the White House
ever gave them. He has probably writ
zen more and longer messages than any
other TWO presidents before him wrote.

A LOVERS ENVY.

Besides the pathway where she goes.
And every bird that sings 10 her.
And every breeze that brings to her
The fragrance OF the rose.
I envy every poets rhyme
That moves her heart at eventine,
And every tree that wears FOR her
Its brigh est bloom, and bears for her
The frritage of its prime
envy every Southern night
That paves her path with moonbeams
white.
And silvers all the leaves for her
And in their shadow weaves for her
A dream Of dear delight.
! envy none whose love requires

l only long to live 10 her,
j only ask to give to her
All that her heart desires.
