Ever since Theodore Roosevelt cast
his chapean in the ring few weeks
EGO, the entire populaoe. friends and
foes alike, have read with considerable
interest, II not avidfty, anything con-
ceHning the intrepid African lion
hunter. This is the excuse for the
publication of this incident.
A few days before the Inauguration
cf President Taft, President Roosevelt
est II be known that he would talk In
formally to the washington cores
pondents. One morning about fifty OF
these tireless workers gathered in
che cabinet room and after the presi-
dent had shaken hands with and had
talked interestingly for thirty min
utes about the seriousness OF the
japanese war scare that the admins
tratfon had Just succeeded in aliayfng,
he concluded with a little sermon as
was usual
Then he told something of the hu-
man side of life at the White House
during those busy February days.
At that time the president WIS the
target for great deal of caustic
criticisrn. not to say real abuse, from
certain portions OF the press and from
some members of congress- 1t was
popuLarIy believed and is yet by a
large number OF people. that the as
sassination of the lamented Mckinley
was traceable to a newspaper at
tack. Coupling these conditions to-
gether Mrs. Roosevelt and some of
the presidents relatives believed he
was in eminent danger Of being re
moved by an anarchists bullet.
The president told the boys that
Mrs. Roosevelt had become so nervous
and worked up over the situation that
she was almost counting the hours
when the family could leave the White
House forever.
At this time the carpenters were at
work erecting grand stands for what
would have been the most brilliant
inaugural parade in the history OF the
republic had not Old Boreas and Willis
J.. Moore conspired to spoil II with
rain and hail. Just in front of the
Pennsylvania avenue entrance TO the
White House was an unfinished struc-
ture that for several days had a par
ticularly gallowslike appearance.
Kermit Roosevelt and his youngest
sister appreciated the humor of the
structure and at all hours Of the day
when they thought their mother was
in ear-shot, they seated themselves

music and words OF which they had

TIGERS TO BE MINUS

The Detroit Tigers will be one of the

1912 season. Manager Hugh Jennings
has abolished this positions entirely,
says the New Orleans States. Here
after Jennings will be his own field
leader, directing the defensive attack
from the bench. The Tiger pilot has
definitely settled his mind on this
question. for he is convinced that the
man who Is awarded the job usually
plays below his natural form
The abolition Of the field captaincy
of the Tigers is due to the ordinary
showing made by George Moriarity
last season. Until Jennings bestowed
the field leadership on "Morrie, the
Detroit third baseman played splendid
ball. Once he assumed command, how
ever, Moriarity began to slip, and Jen-
nings believes that the worry caused

However, father was not executed

and has contributed largely to the

the remark that has since become q

During the closing days OF the
Roosevelt administration. the capital
was full of stories concerning the con-
VITALITY OF the president, II was on
a stormy February day that the presi-
dent, to set a horrible example TO the
officers of the army. pressed a few
comrades into service and made the
famous 10 mile ride on muddy Vir-
ginia roads to Fairfax court house and
return. The weather spread itself.
Il was bad even for Washington.
When 1t was not raining II was sleet-
ing and when IL was not sleettng 1t
was showing. Late that night after
the return of the party, reporter
asked Major Archibald Butt, the presi-
dents military aide, what the party
had TO drink on the famous ride.
"Only cold tea, provided in bottles
from the White House pantry" said
the gallant Augustan, in disgust.
1t will be remembered that the pres
ident did not tire on this trip and
spurnad the carriage sent out to meet
him by Mrs. Roosevelt, clinging to his
charger in the binding rain until
after he had crossed the long bridge
over the Potomac and came into
Washington.
