 the back door and a bill collector standing at the front door it would
 remind me strongly of my residence.
 There are several fine paintings
 around on the walls, but l will not at
 tempt to describe them, as our paper goes into the home, and one cannot be too careful. The one feature of the library which struck me forcibly is the silence. One must wear gum shoes and slip along as quietly as a congressman who is trying to get an appropriation for a new federal building through congress. un the reading room no whispering is allow ed, and a person who wears false teeth which click is not allowed to chew gum. It is a great place to go and think over the deeds of a mis spent life. There is enough silence manufactured in that place every day to supply all the present needs of Colonel Roosevelt and last him a long time into the future.
