and one that Mrs. Roosevelt liked very much.
For years I made the only photographs
which were made off1cially Of the Roosevelt
children They had q little fox terrier and a
calico pony and a macaw with wicked-look-
ing beak. The children used to pile on the
back of the pony as thickly they could sit,
and he would trot along with them until he
decided he had carried them far enough, and
then he would sit down his hind legs rear
up in 'front.' and they would all go sliding down
upon the ground.

have since regretted that did not go back for.

American painters who were working abroad.
James McNeill Whistler poked his shaggy head
out OF his studio in London one morning and
said Not today. am so busy. Come back
some other time.
E'T MADE one photograph many years ago
which has become very interesting in the
light Of recent events. It was of the House OF
Representatives in session. Seated by one OF
the members was his little son, very small
face in that big group. That little boy has
since been identified as Col. Charles Lindbergh.
zone little Photographic jaunt was associated
with an incident which assumed international
Importance and Infatuated Kaiser wilhelm OF
Germany. Inc yacht, The hdeCeOEs
which had been built In America, was to be
christened by Alice Roosevelt where it was
lying of Shooters Island. The President and
Mrs. Roosevelt were present at the christening,
and SO was Prince Henry of Prussia, the KaiserS
brother. who had been making a sort of good
will tour of America. The eyes Of all the world
were turned upon that yacht christening.
ST had secured permission to go out to the
yacht early on the morning of the ceremonies
on a tug that was to carry the boat builder.
On board that tug was the representative of q
famous French firm of champagne makers,
George KeSsler. He was carrying a velvet-lined
leather case holding very fine bottle of cham
payne.
THAT French champagne was used to
christen the German Emperor's yacht The
French Of course, considered that they put
something over on the Germans The Kaiser
was evidently furious It was whispered in
Washington that the faux pas which inadver-

reason for the recall Of the German attache

his inevitable cigar.
"I got a photograph, also, of Mark Twain
when he came up to Washington from some
where in the South during the month Of
February still wearing his white suit of clothes,
to appear before the House. He gently Sug-
gested to that august body that since he had
such an important measure to get through
Congress he be given the privilege Of the
floor It rained and showed and sleeted dur
ing his visit, and he announced at that time
his famous dictum that Washington didn't
have climate; it had weather.
MARK Hanna, whom photographed in his
committee room. where he moved national
figures about like chesSmen, had been
amuSingly portrayed by Davenport'S noted
caricatures OF him that it gave one a distinct
surprise not to see the dollar marks in the
checks OF his smartly tailored business suit.
With all his forcefulness, he possessed real
charm of manner. It was easy to understand
how he came to WELD so much power.
MY associations with the Roosevelt family
are among some Of my happiest memories and
dated almost from the beginning OF Theodore
Roosevet's oficial life in Washington as As
sistant Secretary Of the Navy
IT got the first photograph of Col. Roosevelt
In his Rough Rider uniform, and probably
obtained the first one OF him upon his return
to this country after the CUBAN campaign. COL
Roosevelt had been serving as Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy when he resigned to accept
a commission as lieutenant colonel of the Rough
Riders. I had gone down to the Navy Depart
ment to get q photograph OF his successor. and,
seeing the colonel, said to him that would
like to get photograph of him in his new uni
form.
"'By JoVe! he said I will be up at o'clock
