Last Article Finished
Just Before Death

COL. ROOSEVELT had finished
what will probably prove to
be his last article just few days
before his death. II was for the
Metropolitan Magazine. and he
gave it to H. ]. Whigham, the
publisher. last Thursday. 1t is
called Eyes to the Front" and
is message to the Republican
party. 1t will appear in the Feb
ruary issue.
Parts of other articles for this
magazine and newspaper edito-
rails had been sketched by Col.
Roosevelt, but it is said that few
of them are in shape to be pub
lished. His illness had so inter-
fered with his writing that it is
thought very few of his sketches
will appear.
When Mr.. Whigham called on
Col. Roosevelt he found him far
from we'll. He was in some pain
and could not shake hands be-
cause of the suffering it would
cause. He was CHEEKY and any
thing from downhearted, al
though Mr.. Whigham is sure that
he knew he had not long to live.
A month ago when the publisher
called on Col. Roosevelt in the
hospital he remarked:
