A Bull Moose returning from Oyster Bay
brings the news that Col. Roosevelt would not
support Root for the Presidency and that his
nomination would result in third party ticket
probably headed by Roosevelt. Whether au-
thorlzed or not the statement may be set down
as pure bluff. If Mr.. Root should be nomi-
mated at Chicago, which is unlikely, Col Roose-
Welt would be compelled to support him or re-
tire gnominiously and permanently to private

newlng his youth in the joy of life that was
brought to him by the success of "Triby" and
Peter IbIetson." One day when he was speak
ing OF the circumstances associated with the
writing of "Trilby" he said: Henry James
often comes out to my house to, take walks
with me on Hampstead Heath. During one of
those walks 1 told him the story of the girl in
the the Latin quarter who was the original Tri1by.
When | finished, he said I'D like to write
that story some day I told him to 60 ahead.

F., What would "Trilby" have been if Henry
