France, is furrowed by the feet of
hundred of boys whom Roosevelt en-

brief leaves when he used to say he
would willingly have missed being
President to change places with one
of them.
Scores of incidents illustrating the
esteem in which foreign visitors re-

been marked before the gate of the
cemetery plot. The grave is near the
top of a conical knoll rising in one
corner of the little burial grounds.

Roosevelt Letters
Reveal Much of His
EarlY Character

New York, Oct. 26-Thrce letters
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 he celebrated to-
morrow throughout the country.
The great Americans modcsty as a
young man. verging nearly on timid-
ity, is disclosed in note accepting
the offer of trusteeship of the New
York Infant Asylum. The letter was
written to DR.. Henry d. Nicoll, then
head of the asylum, in 1881, the year
when Roosevelt. then % years old,
took his seat in the state assembly.

Roosevelts early love for outdoor
life. characteristic which had much
to do with the molding of his later
life. and his admiration for pictur-
csque characters in frontier history,
come to the front in the third letter,
written in 1890 to Richard Watson
Glider, editor of Century Magazine
The letter is in nervous, hasty
script and was written from Wash
ington. where Roosevelt was holding
his first federal Office, that of Civil
Service Commissioner.
In it he appealed to Mr.. Glider to
have a biography or sketch of Kit
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 per-
netuate the memory of Theodore
Roosevelt.
