doned the stage and made his bow to
the public as singer of classical
songs. especially those requiring great
facial expression for their proper in
depreciation. His success was instan-
taneous, and he became so popular
that the early regret over his retire
ment from the dramatic field gave
place to hearty approval Of his course.
Although his voice was in no way
remarkable. merely of ordinary power
and agreeable quality, he showed
dexterity in it's management that made
him irresistible. His success with
folk songs was especially remarkable.
and his enunciation and expression
endowed such compositions with a
value which had never been revealed.
So 1t is that he has achieved both
fame and fortune in career in which
he has no rival.

MISS ELEANOR ALEXANDER.

Carow Roosevelt. In boyhood and
during the White House days he was
a great companion of his father and
took from him a keen taste for out
door activities, athletics and sports.
He went to Groton in 1900 and nearly
died there in 1902 of pneumonia, caught
from his habit of running around in
cold weather without any covering for
his head He entered Harvard with
the class of 1909 and went through in
three years.
Mr.. Roosevelt played left end on his
freshman team and was considered a
good hard player, though far too light
for the varsity team. He became a
member of the Porcelain and Dicky
clubs, two organizations carrying un-
dergraduate distinction. The autumn
after graduation he went to work with
the Hartford Carpet company and has
been there ever since, working in the
looms to learn the business, having
long hours, from to 6, and devoting
little time to Hartford society.
In order to divert himself for awhile
from the carpet trade Mr. Roosevelt
took up the study Of aeronautics and
became a member of the Aero Club of
America. He had had a narrow es-
cape in an army balloon year before.

Move Freight Offices.

The offices of the freight depart

were moved yesterday from the fruit
shed at the north end of the passen-

depot which was moved one block
south of it's original position, remod-

spacious freight house. The office
force seems to be well satisfied with
the changes that have been made
since they were in the old crowded
offices.

SOFT, WHITE HANDS
May Be Obtained In Ono Night.

For preserving the hands as well
as for preventing redness, roughness,
and chapping, and imparting that vel
vety softness and wilderness much de-
sired by women Cuucura Soap, assist
ed by Cuticura Ointment, is believed
to be superior to all other skin soaps.
For those who work in corrosive
liquids, or at occupations which tend
to injure the hands, 1t is invaluable.
Treatment-Bathe and soak the
hands on retiring in a strong, hot,
creamy lather of Cuticura Soap. Dry
and anoint freely with Cuticura ONT
ment, and in severe cases spread the
Cuticura Ointment on thin pieces of
old linen or cotton. Wear during the
night old, loose gloves, or light ban
dage Of old cotton or linen to protect
the clothing from stain. For red,
rough, and chapped hands, dry, fis-
sured, itching, feverish palms, and
shapeless nails with painful finger
ends, this treatment is most effective.

out the world. Potter Drug C Chem.

somebody suggested friendly game
of poker. The game was going along
right merrily at 3 a. M.
At that hour an offlcious attendant
called up Mr.. Shields residence, which
happened to be almost next door.
This is long distance" said the
servant with no warrant of authority
whatever. I'VE are all here In Co.
