IN all its varied activities and phases
more than did Julia Ward Howe: And

cious opportunities for enjoyment than
1T gave to her. She chose her ancestors
wisely and she had cause to find in
them joy and pride. He father was

She had distinguished relatives-her
brilliant and popular brother, "Sam

she had every advantage for culture and
happiness. She was welded to a man
famous on both continents. Her chill

friendship with nearly all the great
people of her own country and of in

The list of the eminent people whom

measure is most precious gift of the
immortal gods. 1t enhanced her natu-
raj magnetism, made her not only a
fascinating and interesting companion
but gave piquancy and fascination to
her writing.
The dramatic instinct was strong in
Julia Ward Howe, seen in the i'm
promptu plays devised for the amuse-
ment of her children, in her power of
characterization, her insight into hu-
man nature. "The Worlds Own" acted
at Wallack's by the elder Sothern and
Miss Heron, proved popular for a time.
The play she afterward wrote for Booth
at his request, and in which he and
Charlotte Cushman planned to act, was
through some managerial caprice not
produced; but it was a play of fine
construction, lofty in design and beau
tiful in language. Booth, Miss Cush-
man and Mrs. Howe we're equally disap-
pointed at the failure of their plans.
Julia Ward Howe's poems do not
poetry, but she wrote blank verse with
a fine perception of its scope and
power, she had that imagination which
"broods upon the enjoyment of
beauty" the love of loneliness for it's
own sake as we'll as it's benign influ-
ences. Her lyrical poems are grace
full, melodious. She often wrought
emotion, thought and imagery into fine
harmony of expression. There is
abundant proof in many of these
poems that she knew the elmer soul
of words" To express herself in verse
was no sad mechanic exercise. She
wrote as naturally and freely as a

Julia Ward Howe, Friend of America

high ideals Of religion, Of the philoso-
ply of life, Of courage, hope, restless
and untiring pursuit of the beautiful,
the true, the noble, are closely linked
with this passion for service. She
served her friends, her CONTEMPORARIES.
her country beautifully, richly from
the abundant stores of her own radi-
ant nature, and there are many in this
sad world who have cause to bless and
cherish her memory.
This passion for service, this faculty
of leadership gave her wide influence
and power, but that influence was
much enhanced by the irresistible mag
netlsm of her personality. She stamped
that magnetism upon all that she did
and wrote, and it is because of that
that America, the whole world, knew
her not only as a woman of genius, but
as friend to be loved. What Theo-
dore Roosevelt wrote to one of her
daughters expresses the feeling of
many others. "You know" said
Roosevelt, that felt for her not
merely the highest regard, and indeed,
| may say, reverence, because of her
work, but a very warm personal af-
lection There was not a man or
woman in America for whom | felt
the same kind of devotion that I felt
for your mother"
AS for enjoyment, Julia Ward Howe
had rich capacities to enjoy everything
that was worthy and beautiful--music.
for she was herself an accomplished
musician; languages. being proficient
in Greek, French, German, Italian,
poetry, art, even philanthropy, to which
she devoted her later years. She en-
joyed lecturing and preaching, for she
had not only the. gift of eloquent
speech, but her audiences felt the
charm Of her personality and their
quick response and sympathy gave her
freedom and confidence. Indeed, there

By Ida Rose McCabe

Theodore Roosevelt, Ameri-
cas- greatest citizen, is to-
day in every civilized tongue.
Three and twenty years ago a
sketch Of his life did not exist. Out
side of New York politics his name
was scarcely known.
II do not know where you would
find sketch of my life," wrote
Roosevelt in 1884, in response to
an editor who sensed in the twenty
six year old Scion a coming man.

self"
With characteristic simplicity, d.
rectness and speed, he covered with
his own handwriting eight sheets
of the Albany Assembly Chamber
stationary, closing with "You can
use this sketch if you see fit, but
of course not in my words, and
not with my signature
The sketch herewith reproduced
verbatim from the original manu-
script reveals no new facts. Its
interest lies mainly in it's revela-
ton of Roosevelts early surety of
himself; his prophetic vision. For
at the threshold of his public life
he launched the policy and voiced
the principles that broadened and
strengthened with the years, round
ing him into the foremost of his
time.
How this first life of Colonel
Roosevelt written by himself was
unearthed in 1907, when his pop
ularity was at it's zenith, and was
marketed in Paris, London and New
York; how it's publication person
ally affected Roosevelt and the de-
auctions he made from it is a story
from vantage of the present-sig-
nifcantly illuminating.
With the passing of the Colonel
but three of the seven ''leads" of
the drama survive-the owner of
the letter, Mr.. William Randolph
Hearst and the writer.
The editor to whom the original
'life" is addressed was a discrimi-
mating autograph and book collec-
tor, and the inventor of the process
of half-tone reproduction. His
hobby was Artemus Ward.
"There's good magazine or Sun
day story" he said, unearthing in
his Jersey library a mass of dis
organized Artemus Ward items.

envelope bearing the imprint AS

There has been much misconception

supposed that it was caused by plants
with conspicuous and showy flowers
This, however, is seldom the case. The
reason is obvious. The pollen produc
