book is published today by Scribners.
Mrs. Robinson and Roosevelt, as
children, were inseDarable. "Teedie
and COME" were the nicknames they
affectionately bestowed on each otn-
en-. Much of the book is based on
letters Theodore wrote to his sister
and on her own diary.
When the boy who was to become
president was II, his father turnCu
one of the upper rooms OF his New
York home into an outdoor gymna
SUM, and calling Theodore to him,
said: You have the mind, but not
the body, and without the help Of the
body, the mind will not go as far as
it should. You must make your body.
1t will be hard drudgery, but ] know
you will do it."
/ The boy threw back his head and
with a flash of the white teeth that
later became famous, answered.: Il
will make my body" He became the
exponent OF the strenuous life.
While the Roosevelt children were
spending a year in Germany, Elliott,
brother of Theodore, wrote to an
uncle, shortly after the boys had beel
presented with boxing gloves:
Last night, in a round with Teedie

bloody mouth We do enjoy tnc
gloves so. Boxing is one of Teedie's
and my favorite amusements; it rs
such novelty to be made to see stars

While Roosevelt was police COM

against his strict enforcement of the

he accepted.
From the stand he watched the

"Hier bin ich," the commissioner
replied, his teeth flashing in win

turned and cheered him to the echo.
Writing to his brother-in-law from
Cuba, following the Rough Riders
charge up San Juan hill, Roosevelt
says:
Il would rather have led that
charge and earned my colOnelcy than
to serve three terms in the United
