grin and a choking goodbye A
hero among them was a man who
had the longest fall to his credit, or
who could toss white-hot rivet the great
est distance. They lived hard and died
easily Today they know that man stands
highest on the payroll who takes life seri-
ously, who also watches the man next to
him--for in this calling one mans error
often means another's life.
Even so, the bridgeworker OF today has
not lost his romantic side. He is still the
cavalier of the workaday world. See him
now, clingling like a fly 10 the top ring
Of that lofty derrick, or swaying in mid
air, with one leg wound carelessly about
a dangling cable. OF standing upright
alongside a dizzy column, hundreds OF feet

tour, both as TO mileage and time con-
sumed. 1t was the only event OF its kind
that may be compared to the Roosevelt re-
ceptioh.
Admiral Dewey sailed into Manila bay
and won a glorious victory for his coun-
try. The public mind was then attuned
to martial things. Even before the first
halo Of victory had been dimmed by time
Admiral Dewey came home The war with
Spain was over, and he came as the re-
turning hero of that war. Dewey's name
was screamed from every housetop in the
land. 1t was a Dewey-mad nation. The
Homecoming demonstration seemed at that
time to be the superlative of ovation. And
yet, 1t now seems tame compared to the
welcome shouted forth to Theodore Roose-
welt, private citizen.
So. it comes to mind In the wake of this
Homecoming celebration that the historian
of the future will have much to chronicle
when he writes for coming generations the
record Of Theodore Roosevelts foreign tour
and the welcome home that ended the
journey.
He went away branded by professional
globe trotters as an amateur hunter in the

is an old saw that may be true as a gem
eral rule, but Theodore Roosevelt is beyond
doubt an exception, for he is skilled in
many widely different lines. AS a police
commissioner in New York City he made
himself a great policeman. As politician
he proved that although not born a ruler,
he was born to rule. AS a soldier he at
tracted worldwide attention by his daring
dash up San Juan hill. AS naturalist he
took issue with so eminent an authority
as Ernest Thompson Seton and came out
of the skirmish licking his chops. AS
literary man he produces copy that sets
the editors scrambling for it. AS a hunter
he stands acknowledged as the world
champion AS president he ruled his coun-
try. Any one of the several achievements
is enough to make Roosevelt a great man

"One of the questions which is puzzling
the postal officials right now is the loading
and unloading of each car as 1t comes to
the postoffice. A couple of switches have
been placed at Sixteenth and Dodge, SO
that the cars can run down the little drive
way in the rear of the postoffice, as there
has already been a track placed in the
driveway. But where the hitch comes in
is that when one car gets in and is loaded,
It can only get out the same way in which
II came, and TO do all this all the other
cars which happen to have como into the
switch with loads must get out OF the
way. The roadway is being widened at

the finish without the least evidence Of
bodily or mental fatigue. The army the
navy, the judiciary. society, every phase
Of American life in fact was represented
in the Roosevelt outpouring. the most
conspicuous, Of course, was the Rough
Riders, who soldiered with Colonel
Roosevelt in Cuba
Jack Abernathy's boys who rode on
horseback from Oklahoma to New York to
greet Roosevelt were so impatient to see
the great man that their father chartered
q vessel and went out to sea in the hope of
catching an earlier glimpse but this proved
TO be bad calculation and in the end the
meeting was only delayed over what 1t
would have been had they remained on land.
The versatility OF Theodore Roosevelt is
worth consideration. All the other great
presidents have made themselves great
along some one we'll defined line. Wash
ington, for example. immortalzed himself
by the part he played in establishing this
country as a republic That was great
enough, of course. Jefferson made him

Smithsonian institute more specimens Of
ferocious animals than any other explorer
has ever done. A Chicago medical man
predicted he would die OF sleeping fever in
the Jungles OF Africa, but he came back

Naples on the outgoing voyage threatened
to assassinate him, but he passed the in

penetrable wilds OF the most untamed
country on earth, and closed his tour at
luncheon with European nobility. He looked
the English throne in the face and told It
what It ought to do for Egypt. He fra
ternized with kings and other rulers of
nearly every European nation, and then
chummed with the ship crew on the way
home. Nobody was too high, nobody was
too plebeian for attention from Theodore
Roosevelt. His tour was a whirlwind-a
whirlwind Of exciting animal hunts in saw

Last week some of the cars were run
up to the back OF the building, but It was
found impossible to get any of them in
because when the curve was made the
front end OF the car ran into the stone

1t was strictly in line with the Roose-

back in America to settle down to hard
work. "Office OF Theodore Roosevelt" the

eyebrows in grinding out copy for Tho
Outlook" with which periodical he has
editorial connection. He is also under con-
tract with Scribners for book and many
other literary assignments are on tho
hook in the colonels office.
1t is not in the least improbable that
Colonel Roosevelt will stop in Omaha when
he makes his western junket this fall. He
has been here before. He knows the way
up Farnam street hill as well as any hack
driver in town. Omaha admires him. II
