Editor for a Day.

When Lord Northcliffe, the Eng
fish publisher and peer, was plain
Mr.. Harmsworth, Joseph Pulitzer
permitted him to be editor of the
New York World for one day in order
to exemplify the Harmsworth con-
tention that the New York papers are
too big. The tabloid World, famous
in newspaper circles, was the result.
Harmsworth called the staff into
consultation. Henry n. Cary, then
news editor, suggested as joke that
all members of the staff should ap-
pear that night in full evening re-
gala Everybody consented with
one exception-one man refused.
Harmsworth came down in a sack
suit He was astonished at the dis
play of evening suits and shifted the
mothball smell from afar. He asked
mildly whether the World editors and
reporters appeared thus clad as a
usual thing, and was solemnly as
sured they did. The only person
dressed like Harmsworth was the
editor who would not fall in with the
joke.
Also, the only man Harmsworth
took back to England with him was
the man who was clad like himself

give Colonel Roosevelt a report on the
situation.
Those who saw Theodore Roosevelt
on his return yesterday from Brazil
| realized from his appearance that he
| had passed through a trying time.
| Though his cheeks were bronzed, his
smile present and his grip firm, show
| ing a return of health. there were
many traces of the hardships he had
endured in his 600-nlile Journey down
the Rio Duvida, the unknown river
| he explored.
The trip from Para, which began
May z, did much to restore Colonel
Roosevelt. 1t gave back to him IS or
30 of the So pounds he had lost, and
the jungle testers that ran from the
ankle to the knee of his right leg
were nearly all healed.
AZ have been very ill with jungle
fever" he said on his arrival, but
I'm all right now. I feel fine"
1t was from April to April 10, it
was learned, that Colonel Roosevelt
was gravely i'll. Other members of
his party, including his son Kermit.
were i'll in that time but the colonel
himself was so sick and weak that
there were days when 100 yards of
travel marked the measure of his
endurance
For FIVE days Colonel Roosevelt
was delirious, with los degrees of
fever. Under 1t he begged his COM
panions. it is stated, to go and leave
him where he lay in the jungle.
Actual starvation menaced the
party during the last of the sixty
days that were taken UP by the jour
ney down the Duvida. The pinch
was sharper far, it was said. than
was indicated by the leaders declara-
ton that they had to hold themselves
to half-rations.
At Manaos, the point of the expedi-
tons return to civilization, Colonel
Roosevelt was still so ill that he had
to be helped aboard the steamer
Dunstan, on which he Travelled to
Para. During the four days of his
stay on the Dunstan he was confined
to his bed. Not until the first day
of his stopover at Para did he show
the Improvement which has continued
since.
Colonel Roosevelt plans to rest
quietly at his oyster Bay home until
Thursday, when he will go up TO the
village from Sycamore Hill to meet
his neighbors. 1t will be "A holiday
for the town and the colonel will
probably deliver a brief address of
thanks for bis neighbors' welcome.
Next Tuesday he plans to go TO
Washington to address the National
Geographic Society on the results of
his Brazi liam exploring trip, and on
May 80 he will probably start for Eu-
rope to attend, in Madrid, the we'd
ding of his son Kermit.
