and engaged in all the other outdoor
pursuits OF tho Juvenile Roosevelt clan
at their home at Oyster Bay and he
took some part in athletics during
his preparatory school course at Gro
ton and his collegiate course at Har-
ward, but In the main he has been less
enthusiastic on the subject of life in
the open than his father and brother
Kermit. He has always been OF a
studious nature and his romance with
Miss Alexander is said to have had
its beginnings in the mutual love OF
these young people for music For all
that Teddy, Jr.." has eschewed the
sensational in outdoor athletics. he did
participate two years ago in bal
loon flight from Washington. in which
he and the two army officers who
were his fellow passengers had some
rather exciting experiences.
There was no little surprise on the
part of the public when Theodore, Jr.,
upon the completion of his college
course two years ago. chose a busi-
ness career as his life work, and still
more wonder was aroused when he
took employment in a Connecticut car
pet factory In order to gather knowl-
edge at first hand Of the practical side
of carpet manufacture. He started at
the lowest round of the ladder. as an
unskilled workman at a small salary.
OF course he was promoted as he mas
tered the intricacies of the business.

Ravens Sharp Trick.

The best talking-bird new to the
big collection in the London Zoo is
raven who came to the aviary last
year. ''Hullo! Jacki" is his favorite
remark, and 1t is the voice of one
who meets an unworthy friend. Soon
after he arrived he used his conver-
sational powers with great effect upon
lammergeier who shares his cage
(relates the London Spectator). The
lammergeier had piece of meat
which the raven desired, but he was
unwilling to surrender 1t. The raven
hoped up. "Hullo! Jack!" he began.
and the lammergeier, aghast at the
voice of man. dropped his dinner and
fed But the lammergeier was never
bird of much spirit

How One Senator Viewed the Comet

Though Adam Monroe Byrd has been
in four congresses, he made one OF
these mistakes the other day. Byrd
was making a tariff speech. He
comes from Mississippi, and, of
course, he thinks the present tariff Is
about the worst bill that could have
been framed. He reached the woolen
schedule, and he went up and down
the aisle, directly addressing first one
member and then another. At length
he paused at desk occupied by
small man with Van Dyke beard.
Byrd allowed to this small man that
the wooden schedule was vicious. The
small man nodded sympathetically.
Byrd pounded the small mans desk
vehemently.
Knowing all the things 1 have said
to be true, why did you vote for this
schedule?" Byrd demanded of the
small man.
1 did not vote for It,"
You mean to tell this house that
you did not vote for the tariff bill?
Il do" said the small man.
Well" said Byrd, Il admire you
for your convictions"
BY this time the house was split
ting its sides. The small man was

not make much difference if It were a

shows that the longer the campaign the
greater the expenses, but beyond that the
differences are slight.
There are two kinds of expenditures; one
kind virtually required in order that the
party may comply with the provisions of
the primary ballots; the other kind required
by party exgencies. Let us consider the
