Roosevelt looked around. He saw
nobody but Sloan. The others were
tagging behind a bend in the road.
"where are the others?" Roosevelt
asked Sloan.
Half out OF breath. himself, Sloan
answered, 81 don't know. I'm nearly
all in myself"
Weather No Difference.
Rain and stormy weather made no
difference.
Put on your hobnails." Roosevelt
would tell him friends who assembled
for an afternoons walk or tennis with
him. They went in rain or shine
Sometimes they returned to the White
House wet to the skin and muddy
from head to foot.
The most memorable drenching
Roosevelt ever had while in the White
House was on the occasion of the
visit to this country Of Prince Henry
Of Prussia. brother Of the Kaiser.
The Washington times., 1919-01-06

Prince Henry was roughly handled
by German sailors several omnths
months ago and is now in hiding
The prince was being entertained
at the White House. In the after
noon before the state dinner in his
honor at night Roosevelt gave or
ders to have horses saddled 'as he
wanted to take Prince Henry for a
long horseback ride. They started out
on a hot summers afternoon. Far
out in Rock Creek Park a heavy thun-
derstorm broke.
The party. pretty wet. took shelter
in small house, but the storm con-
tinued.
We will resume our Journey"
Roosevelt said. and the party contin-
ued the ride. Rock Creek had become
greatly swollen. and it was necessary
to cross it. Roosevelt plunged in with
his horse, which was compelled to
swim at one roint. The prince had
to follow
One day. on a long ride up the Po-
tomac river. Roosevelt wanted to cross
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal. 1t
was found that no bridge was nearer
than two or three miles.
Well cross anyhow" he said. and
the horses were reluctantly forced
into the canal and across to the other
side.
Fond Of Outdoor Companions.
Roosevelt was fond of his outdoor
companions. He played tennis with

On one Of his hunting trips ne
stopped in Oklahoma to hunt wolves
There he met John Alternately, a cow

by snatching their jaws apart. He
would run them down op his pony

Mrs. Alice Longworth, Roosevelt's
Oldest daughter. received a telegram
early today, stating only that her
father was not expected to live"
She left at once on the first train
which would speed her to Oyster Bay
and the bedside OF her father a short
time later.
Congressman Longworth accom-
panied her. 1t could not be
learned whether even he knew
that the ex-President was dead or
whether he was endeavoring to keep
the news from his wife until she had
reached Oyster Bay, fearing. per-
haps, that the shock, coming so soon
after the death of her brother, Quen-
tin, would be so great she would be
unable to make the long journey.

Malaay Baffled Doctors.

Maiady Baffied Doctors.
During the past eighteen months,
the former President had been treat
ed By the foremost surgeons and
medical men of the country: but the
naiady baffled the skill OF the scien-
tisfs.
Il II believed that, the death of his
youngest son. Quentin. who was kill
ed In France a few months ago dur
ing battle In the air with Ger
man battle pilots, affected Roosevelt
deeply and hastened the end.
The Beginning of Roosevelt's indis-
position came shortly after his re-
turn from, an exploring expedition
into the wtlds Of South America
About. one year ago. he went to
Roosevelt Hospital. and had q series
OF operations performed principally
IN the region Of the mastoid process,
where a number Of malignant ulcers
had formed. After a long siege ths
doctors stated that the condition was
eorreeted. but that they could not
guarantee q permanent cure.
From that time the former Presi-
dent had suffered almost constantly
from one affection or another. At
sone time Il was reported that the
abscesses had appeared in both hips.
and another time in the region of the
kidneys It is believed that Roose-
veIts system was filled with poison

The years which Colonel Roose-
Welt spent in the White House be-
came stormy at times, but the then
President was never happier than
when in the thick Of hight Scarce

when the welfare OF the country. was

from serious situation.
Then came the question of the
Panama canal. IL was decided TO
make the cut across Panama. but at
that time this small nation was un-
der the control of Colombia. which
country refused 10 conclude negotia-
tons for the purchase. AT the psy-,
Geological moment revolution broke
out In Panama. Roosevelt seized
upon the opportunity and recognised
the sovereignty OF Panama. and
republic was set up there. A strip
OF land ten miles wide was ceded to
the United State>. and the work OF
construction was Immediately begun.
Both Panama and Colombia were
financially reimbursed.

This incident aroused a great deal
Of discussion. and political opponents
OF the President brought accusations
that the Panaman revolution was To-
mented in the United States, but the
allegation was never substantfated.

Roosevelt was his action in threaten
