creased by the fact that even Mrs.
Roosevelt was not there. Never be-
fore had he known both Of them to
be absent for such a length of time.
Clearly there must be something
wrong, and so in his faithful canine
brain he brooded SO steadily that
one day Charlie Lee, the Colonels
colored chauffeur and driver, who
had been left in charge of the place,
discovered that Shady was gone.
For days search was made for the
dog, and finally the news was taken
to the Colonel. At once he ordered
that a reward be posted and that
search be made through all the
neighborhood. Each day he inquired
anxiously if a report had been re-
ceived Of the finding of Shady,
and with each note Of instructions
that he dispatched to Oyster Bay
he UNDERSIGNED the request to find
the missing dog, no matter what the
cost. Finally, after ten days, the
missing canine was discovered-a
pitiful shadow Of his former self,
shivering and whimpering under a
hodge. When the Colonel was abls

to leave the hospital and return to
his beloved country home Shady
was on the front veranda, ready to
receive him, and no one gave him a
more cordial welcome.
In the "dog cemetery" of the
Roosevelt home there are many
graves. For instance, there is a
mound erected over the resting
place Of Skip, for years his mas
ter's favorite. Skip was given to
the Colonel while on Western
hunting trip, and during his life
was his constant companion, wheth-
er walking, riding or studying in
his library, in which spacious room
it was Skip's pleasure to curl
luxuriously on a rug under the
Colonel's desk. When Skip depart
ed this life the Colonel deposited the
body of his mourned canine friend
in pine box with his own and
lowered it into the earth, with a
solemnity by which his sincerity
could not be doubted. A mound
was fashioned over the grave, as
was the case with the others of the
Colonies dogs which had been
buried there, and in due time
stone slab was erected at the head
Of the grave, with the name and
date Of the dogs death neatly in
scribed.
Among the other occupants of
the "dog cemetery" of the Roosevelt
estate there are Jack and Boz
and Jessie and Susan, all be-
loved Of their master and all de-
serving the unique homage be-
slowed upon them, for the Colonel
was as critical in his selection Of
dog friends as he was in His choice
OF human friends. All were buried
by the Colonel himself. This last
ceremony was one that he never
delegated to others, but which he
insisted upon performing with his
own hands. And so it was with
the entire scheme Of the little
graveyard. 1t was his own concep-
ton, even to the flowers that he
planted about its borders. It
pleased him to treat his dog
friends in death as they had treat
ed him in life. Their faithfulness
to him never had been questioned
in his opinion he could do no less
than to show his appreciation after
they had gons wherever good

trips to foreign lands.
Just what the members of the

been a distinct shock. But the
Coloneps appearance in such garb
was due to a misunderstanding. The
members of the mission were in

so the ex-President insisted that

new but equally exciting game.
So, for an hour, the Colonel re-
NAMED aloft. When the aeroplane
finally descended and made a safe

a great sigh of relief
"Well, what did you think Of TT"
asked the army officers, crowding
around to congratulate the Colonel.
He showed his teeth in that grin

"Bully!" There was q volume IN

quarter of century, he buried his

one reason or another, had endeared
themselves to his family.
Among all the characteristic traits
Of Theodore Roosevelt there was
none more prominent than his love
for animals. His was nature which
instantly appreciated and responded
to the fealty of dumb brute, and
his family of pets was notable
among all who had the privilege Of
intimate association with him. He
was particularly fond of dogs and
horses, and he was keen Judge OF
the merits Of both, as was amply
proved by those he left behind him
at his country home in the country
side Of Long Island. He used to say
there was no better judge Of man

Rebukiing

THE story Of how Colonel Roose-
L welt saw through the Kaiser's
move to enlist his friendship
for the German cause in 1914 is be-
ing told by members Of the Roose-
velt Memorial Association to illus
trate the Colonel's uncompromising
attitude toward oppression.
Not until after Colonel Roosevelt's
death has the interesting fact been
brought to light that early in the
great war the Kaiser deliberately
trled to persuade Roosevelt that
etiquette demanded that Roosevelt
cease his opposition to Germany.
About month after the war
started, in September, 1914, the
Kaiser sent special envoy to Oyster
bay to wait upon Colonel Roosevelt.
The Colonel received him formally
IN the Trophy Room. The envoy
clicked his heels and bowed and said:
Mr.. Roosevelt, his majesty the
herman Emperor sends you his cor
olal greetings and asks me to tell
you that he remembers your visit to

and trusts that the cordial recep-

Roosevelt did not click his heels
together, but he did click his teeth
N a way that he had when he was
about to utter something which was
Intended to end discussion.

SO far forgot the dignity associated
with Colonel Roosevelt's public posi-

what the character of the distin-

the house, would rush joyously and
enthusiastically straight between the
knickcrbockered legs of his master
with a yelp of greeting that never
failed to avoke an appreciate pat in

sought to disguise his fondness for

or critics.

Roosevelt Memorial Associ-
alton in its appeal for support of
the campaign for fitting memorials
to one of Americas greatest person
alities was his willingness to face
any hazard he required Of other
men.
When his son Quentin, for IN
stance, entered the aviation service
the Colonel was keenly interested.
Here was something new to him. In
his adventurous life he had never
experienced the sensations of a fier.
His life had been in peril on innu-
merable occasions, but it was usu-
ally on stable earth, although once
on his African hunting trip he and
Kermit were charged by hippopot-
anus while out in boat.
At the time that Quentin was on
vessel bound for France and the
great adventure that was to end so
tragically for him Colonel Roosevelt
left Sycamore Hill shortly after 7
o'clock one morning late in Septem-
Der, 1917, and motored to the avia-
ton field at Mineola. The utmost
secrecy had been observed and no
one knew Of the expected arrival Of
the Colonel except three army off,
Gals. Even the aviator who was
to pilot the Colonel through the
clouds was unaware that morning
Of the proposed plans.
Charlie Lee, the faithful servitor
who drove the Colonel's car that
morning, was also in ignorance of
the plan. When they left Saga
more Hill the Colonel instructed
him to drive to the aviation field
at Mineola, and he obeyed instruc-
tons, thinking that Colonel Roose-
welt was going to pay a visit. When
Roosevelt stepped out Of the car he
was warmly received by the army
officers, but even then Charlie had
no suspicion of the truth. It was
only when he saw Colonel Roose-
welt throw off his hat and coat, don
an aviator's coat and cap and equip
himself with goggles that he had
an inkling of what was up. Great

side.

~ much in fifteen minutes a.
the average man does in Sow
eral hours has been suggested by
friends Of Colonel Roosevelt as the
reason for vitality that made him
one Of the most vigorous men in
American history.
"From the standpoint Of recuper-
ative power" says one Of the Colo
nel's friends who is active In the
campaign Of the Roosevelt Memo
rial Association to establish memo
rails to the great American, "the late
Theodore Roosevelt was undoubtedly
one of the most wonderful men Of all
times"
A striking incident was cited bv
the Colone's close friend and ad-
mirer:
ut was on Labor Day, 1918, when
the Colonel was scheduled to attend
public reception and deliver an adj
dress at the shipbuilding yards at
Newburgh, N. Y. He arrived in the
little city during the morning and
just in time to attend the informal
reception.
During that time the Colonel
shook hands with approximately two
thousand persons and engaged in
conversation with at least half that
number. Shortly afterward the
Colonel was hurried to the shipyard,
where, after eating a little salad and
a sandwich, he delivered long and
decidedly fiery speech.
eff you recall, that speech was de-
livered to the labor classes, implor-
ing them to stand together and do
all IN their power to assist in win
ming the war. He talked and ex-
horted for more than two hours In
a broiling hot sun, and on complet-
ing his remarks was conducted
through the shipyards, meeting per-
sonally all the officials, the heads Of
the various departments and many
of the workers.
can ordinary man would have
been ready and willing to give up
the ghost even before his speech was
finished, but not the Colonel. He
kept right on, bowling, meeting and
talking, and as he stepped into an
automobile to be driven back to New
York City his famous smile was ever
in evidence.
"The Colonel was seated in tho
rear Of the machine, and when once
out on a country road I turned, in
tending to ask him if he did not suf-
fer from fatigue. The Colonel's
head was resting against the back
of the seat and he was doing. H.
