abandonment of my principles. ,"
AU AnSiuered
And none of these letters went un-
answered; an unanswered letter did
not appear in Colonel Roosevelt's s
scheme Of efficiency. On the fifth
day of February, 1918, he was i'll
and suffering intensely. He lay on
(: couch while I opened his mail, and
read it, until, noticing that his eyes
were closed, l suggested to him that
the mail might wait until tomorrow,
when he would probably feel better
He opened his eyes and turned sud-
denly toward me and said: "Miss
Stricken, when I was President l in
stituted rule to clear my desk each
day Of the days work, and I shall
stick to it"-which, incidentally,
was the nearest approach to a re-
buke that I ever received from him.
III as he was, he went through his
mail, until his strength finally failed.
In less than forty-eight hours he
was at the point Of death. While
he was still in very weakened con-
dtion-whie both Of his ears were
plugged with cotton SO that he could
not hear-he actually dictated piece
meal his keynote speech, which was
delivered in Maine, March 20, 1918.
During his last period in the hos
pital he worked incessantly. He
never seemed really i'll during that
stay and jokingly remarked that his
stay in the hospital was giving him
an opportunity TO do all the things
he had been gathering in the back
of his mind for a long time past.
Frequently he would write portions
of his speeches and his editorials in
longhand, and, Of course, all of his
family mail. But when he was in
the hospital, and saw him every
day, instead Of every other day. as
was tho custom. he dictstsd al a

it progressed much faster Since
his death l have been asked many
times if he ever complained of be-
ing sick. / never heard Colonel
Roosevelt complain; it was impos-
sible to associate sickness, or even
fatigue, with that man of energy
so much so, to my mind, that when
he did faint at my side from hem
orrhage, while debating to me on
February 5, 1913 (although l could
never think of Colonel Roosevelt as
dead, death was the only thing left
to my imagination. Mrs. Roosevelt
and Mrs. Longworth were in the
next room. called them, and with
in two or three minutes Colonel
Roosevelt was revived; when the
doctor appeared moment later he
made some laughing jest about him
self, and, actually rising from the
couch, walked into his bedroom.
l always felt that this virtue was
partly due to his desire to save Mrs
Roosevelt worry. In fact, we have
only to remember how he shouldered
all Of the heartbreak and worry
when the first news was brought tt
him of his sons death; he received
the first intimation of the tragedy
just before dinner, and his first re
mark the following morning, wher
the news was verified, was, "But-
Mrs. Roosevelt! How am l going tc
break it to her." The strength ex
hibited by both Colonel and Mrs
Roosevelt, at the time their son wa.
killed in France, was remarkable
They were heartbroken, but how
bravely they endured under the
blow Colonel Roosevelt came into
his Office the day he had appointed
the week before and went through
with his work, his voice choking
with emotion, as he dictated, anc

would like to read it again. APP
parently, at some time, in his wide
field of reading, Colonel Roosevelt
had read this utterance, and had
tucked it away in its appropriate
pigeonhole of his mind, to be
drawn out when occasion should
arise. He read books a page at a
glance, and absorbed their contents.
l shall never forget the first time
saw one of his suitcascs opened
after his return from long speak
ing tour. There was almost nothing
else in the huge travelling case but
books, and / learned that as many
again had been disposed of before
his return home. His interest in
reading was Of wide variety. | have
heard him say on many occasions
that he much preferred to read a
play or opera than to attend the
performance. At one time, while
he was President, an official from
Australia called at the White House
and presented to him long article
on agricultural topics, which he
wished the President to discuss at
length with him. Taking this screed
Of probably twenty-five typewriter
pages, President Roosevelt ran rap
idly over it and turned to his visitor.

dent" said the caller, II would ap-
preciate it If you will read the arti-

ject with me-" 81 have read it,
replied the President, and at once
entered into thoroughly intelligent
discussion of its contents, even cit
ing the various figures with which
it was intcrsperscd. This Australian
was again in America last fall. 1t

sidercd "a most marvellous incident

and as great rs ever" Another per-
son, who had spent much time and
care in the preparation of some
information for the Colonel, took
it to him at Oyster Bay and was
disappointed and chagrined when
Colonel Roosevelt merely Skinned"
over it and laid it aside. "My heart
was broken," this man con6ded to
me; "but it healed a moment later
when Colonel Roosevelt actually
dictated TO you every bit of the in
formation in my papers, even quot
ing from parts Of it verbatim-it
was marvellous! Indeed, SO versa
tile was his mind, by both nature and
cultivation, that he actually could
entertain two divergent sentiments
coincidentally. To him wrote one
CT his old Rough Riders: "My dear
Colonel: l am in trouble. l am in
Jail for shooting a lady in the eye
but l did not mean to shoot the
lady; l was shooting at my wife" ;"
For a second the intense humor of
this naive epistle struck Colonel
Roosevelt, bit in the same instant
came wave of pity for a man
whose mental and moral state per-
mitted him in the sincerity Of his
ignorance to offer such an excuse.
