A TRIBUTE TO T. R.

NOTE: The following noble eulogy OF
Theodore Roosevelt was written by Edith
Wharton, the American novelist. Both as a
euogy of Roosevelt and one of the finest
pieces of writing in the English language it
deserves to be read and remembered by every
One.-Edtor.
Somewhere l read, in an old book whose
Is gone from me, read that when the
days
Of man are counted, and his business
done,
There comes up the shore at evening, with
the tide,
To the place where he sits, boat
And in the boat from the place where he
sits, he sees,
Dim in the dusk, dim and yet so familiar,
The faces of his friends long dead; and
They come for him, brought in upon the
tide,
To take him where men 60 at set of day.
Then rising, with his hands in theirs, he
Between them his last steps, that are the
Of the new life-and with the ebb they
Their shaken sail grown small upon the
moon.
Often l thought of this, and pictured me
How many man who lives with throngs
about him,
Yet straining through the twilight for that
boat
Shall scarce make out one figure in the
stern,
And that so faint its features shall perplex
him
With doubtful memories-and his heart
hang back.
But others, rising as they see the sail
Increase upon the sunset, hasten down,
Hands out and eyes elated for they see
Head over head, crowding from bow TO
stern,
Repeopling their long loneliness with
smiles,
The faces of their friends; and such go
forth
Content upon the ebb tide, with safe
hearts.
To worker summoned when his day was
Did mounting tide bring in such freight
of friends
AS stole to you up the white wintry shingle
That night while they that watched you
thought you slept.
Softly they came and beached the boat,
and gathered
In the still cove under the icy stars.
Your last-born, and the dear loves of your
And all men that have loved right more
than ease,
And honor above honors; all who gave
Free-handed of their best for other men,
And thought their giving taking; they
who knew
Mans natural state is effort, up and up
All these were there, so great a company
Perchance you marveled, wondering what
great ship
Had brought that throng unnumbered to
the cove
Where the boys used to beach their light
canoe
After old happy picnics-
But these, your friends and children, to
whose hands
Committed in the silent night you rose
And took your last faint steps
These led you down. O great American,
Down to the winter night and the white
beach,
And there you saw that the huge hull, that
waited
Was not as are the boats of the other dead,
Fta;l craft for brief passage; no, for this
Was first of long line of towering trans
ports,
Storm-worn and ocean-weary every. one,
The ships you launched, the ships you
manned, the ships
That now returning from their sacred quest
With the thrice sacred burden of their dead
Lay waiting there to take you forth with
them,
Out with the ebb tide, on some farther quest.
