RECALL
 ROOSEVELT DAYS
 OF EARLY YOUTH
Interesting Light Thrown on Character of Famous Statesman Whose
 Birthday Is Here
By Associated Press

New York, October 26.-Three let- ters In the handwriting of Theodore Roosevelt, presented recently to the Roosevelt Memorial association, throw interesting light on the early character of the future President whose birthday will be celebrated to- morrow throughout the country
 The great Americans modesty as young man, verging nearly on tim idity, is disclosed in a note accepting the offer of trusteeship of the New York infant asylum. The letter was written to pr. Henry D. Nicoll, then head of the asylum, in 1881, the year when Roosevelt, then 23 years old, took his seat in the state assembly.
 His absolute inexperience," Roose- welt wrote, would prevent his being of much use," but, with a determi- nation also evidenced in another let ter to Dr. Nicoll, he promised to try my best"
 Ten months later. in 1882, he wrote Dr. Nicoll again, expressing pleasure in accepting the position as trustee, but adding:
 q only fear that l will by no means come up to your expectations. But shall do my best
 Roosevelts early love for outdoor life, a characteristic which had much to do with the molding of his later life and his admiration for pie turesque characters in frontier his tory. come to the front in the third letter, written in 1890 to Richard Watson Glider, editor of Century Magazine.
 The letter is in a nervous, hasty script. and was written from Wash ington, where Roosevelt was hold ing his first federal office. that or civil service commissioner.
 In it he appealed to MT. Glider to have a biography or sketch of hir Carson's life written and pointed out that Carson and his comrades were men of real mark" and their work "of utmost consequence and should not be allowed to be | forgotten"-the same appeal now | being sent out broadcast by the | Roosevelt Memorial association for contributions to perpetuate the 1 memory of Theodore Roosevelt. l He suggested that MT. Glider ob- tain an article on civil service re- l form from Cabot Lodge" who, he 1 said, was "a man of note, and a rising one in his party"
 | At that time Senator Lodge was a l representative in Congress. At Roose- 1 velt's suggestion the articles were written by Mir. Lodge in the mag azine during that and the following | year.
 In 1890 Roosevelt was prolific writer of stories of hunting and of | wild animal life and he concluded his letter in the spirit of the literary freelance. keen to sell his stories.
 T will buckle down to the three l hunting articles for bear. moose, | panther, etc. and I will bring in the Turk story" he wrote. and added | the suggestion, My bear scrape would, think. make good pie ture, If you thought it worth while; also the death of the mountain biz l son, and of the bull moose"
 The two Nicoll letters were pre- l sented to the Roosevelt Memorial 1 association by Mrs. Henry D. Nicoll l and the Glider letter by the publish | CTS of the Century magazine.
