The Man Who Now Becomes the Chief
Executive of the Nation Striking Peiv
sonalities Which Have Made Him
a Unique Character In
National Politics He
Believes In the
Strenuous Life
Theodore Roosevelt, the new presi
dent of the United States, Is one of
the most remarkable men In this coun
try. His career, which from the outset
has been a most "strenuous" one, may
be divided into nine phases or stages,
leading up to the tenth as president,
upon the duties of which he is just en
tering. In nine different roles he has given
evidence of the attributes that make
him today perhaps the most talked of
man of forty-three in the world.
Of aristocratic birth, a member of a
family distinguished for valor, patri
otism and culture for many genera
tions, young Roosevelt tirst sued for
public favor when ho appeared as can
didate for assemblyman in his native
city. New York. He was then just out
of college, 1S7U, and was twenty-one
years of age.
RESIDENT
Even his opponents admit that he
was a zealous servant of his own par
tyan unwavering Republican. He
was then, as now, athletic and remark
able for his boundless' energy, his in
terest in people and things and his un
failing enthusiasm.
The second stage of Mr. Roosevelt's
public career was that in which he an
nounced himself as candidate for may
or of Xew York.
It was very characteristic that he
should, with his belief in himself, con
sider the office of mayor one which he
was equipped to fill, but unquestiona
bly if Mr. Roosevelt were consulted to
day he would agree with his friends
that his defeat in this race was bene
ficial to him. Defeated as candidate
for mayor, Mr. Roosevelt next appears
as a national civil service commission
er, and here again his party found him
studious, untiring, capable and effi
cient. This appointment was made in 1SS9
by President Harrison when Roose
velt was a trifle over thirty. Two years
later, in 1-S01 (the fourth stage of Mr.
Roosevelt's remarkable life), he ap
pears as a hunter of big game.
When Theodore Roosevelt concluded
to hunt grizzly bears, he naturally de
cided to do so in what he considered
proper costume, and it is most inter
esting to see the dramatic instinct
again dominating. The pictures of Mr.
Roosevelt taken in his costume as a
hunter show him holding his rifle,
loaded with many bullets. The leather
breeches, with their picturesque adorn
ment of fringe; the hunting shirt of
leather, embroidered supposedly by In
dians; the scarlet silk handkerchief,
ivory handled revolver, the knife thrust
through the cartridge belt, arc all the
fitting paraphernalia of the cowboy's
hero.

When Roosevelt, dressed in his gau
dy and personally selected bunting cos
tume, made his appearance among me
untrammeled citizens around Little
Missouri river, he was looked upon aa
a tenderfoot of a very elementary

MOKVELT
A well known character approached
Roosevelt and asked him what he in
tended to do and what kind of game he
was after. The New Yorker said he
was aft6r grizzlies, and It was soon
noised about the camp that the "four
eyed tenderfoot" was looking for big
game. The hardest man in the vicinity
sent word to Roosevelt that he couldn't
shoot any grizzlies in that territory
and that :f attempted to the "bad
Uian" in question would be Informed
and proposed to shoot Roosevelt at
bight
When this message was conveyed to
the blue eyed tenderfoot, he seemed
greatly pleased, ami, looking eagerly
through his glasses, he inquired of his
informant "where the 'bad man' lived."
Immediately upon-receiving ihe desired
Information Roosevelt rode over to see
the man who proposed to shoot him.
When lie reached the camp of the in-

dividual in question, the "bad man"
had forgotten why Le Intended to shoot
and was very much disposed to be

Mr. Roosevelt not only wore -os-
tuiue which he considered appropriate
for killing grizzlies, but he actually
killed more bears than the best of the
"bad men," and his unquestioned brav
ery and fearlessness won him, as it al
ways does with the Bret Harte type of
man, unbounded respect and love.
AVhat the men of the west thought
of the tenderfoot was shown when
Theodore Roosevelt called for volun
teers for the rough riders, among
whom were some of those who tried to
"take the frills off the Xew York dude"
When he first appeared among them
mid who today lovingly and loyally re
fer to him as a leader whom they
would follow to the death.
POLICE COMMISSIONER OF
NEW YORK.
The fifth stage of Mr. Roosevelt's
career was embodied in his service as
police commissioner of Xew Y'ork city.
Other commissioners have come and
gone, and their records are more or less
prosaic, but the history of Theodore
Roosevelt stands out again picturesque,
dramatic and alive with the Intensity
of the man's nature, an intensity which
differentiates him at every step of his
career from his predecessors or succes
sors. As police commissioner Mr. Roose
velt made Xew York seethe with ex
citement. Disguised, he visited at night
the various precincts, seeing for him
self and testing the probity and capa
bility of his corps. By day he fought
the other police commissioners, he up
set old time rules and enforced old time
"blue laws," because, as he explained,
they were in the statute books and
must be obeyed until they were re
pealed. The sixth phase of Mr. Roosevelt's
career was brief, but most satisfactory,
and was embraced in the short time of
his service as assistant secretary of the
navy. Colonel Roosevelt was nominat
ed by President McKinley on April G,
lsiiT. On April 17 he tendered his resig
nation as police commissioner to Mayor
Strong of Xew York city.
From the very first Roosevelt fore
saw the possibility of a conflict with
Spain, and he set about preparing his
department for it. lie pushed repairs
on the ships, he worked with might
and main for the navy personnel bill
and visited the various naval reserves
throughout the country. He left noth
ing undone, In fact, that would secure
the highest efficiency In the service
when the time for action came. It Is
an open secret that he it was who first
realized the tremendous opportunity
that the war would open in the est
and who had Dewey. In whom he rec
ognized the right man for the place,
appointed to command the eastern
squadron. And naval officers agree
that the remarkable skill in marks
manship displayed by the American
gunners was due to his foresight He
saw the necessity of practice, and he
thought it the best kind of economy to
burn up ammunition in acquiring skill.
A characteristic story, of the truth
of which there is no doubt, is told re
garding Roosevelt's Insistence on prac
tice in the navy. Shortly after his ap
pointment he asked for an appropria
tion of fSOO.000 for ammunition, pow
der and shot for the navy. The ap
propriation was made, and a few
months later he asked for another ap
propriation, this time of $o00,000.
JVben asked by the proper authorities
MISS ALICE nOOSEVELT.
President's eldest daughter.
what had become of the first appro
priation, he replied, "Every cent of it
was spent for powder and shot, and
every bit of powder and shot has been
fired." Vhen he was asked what he
was going to do with the $500,000, he
replied, "Use every ounce of that, too,
within the next thirty days in practice
shooting." When the Maine was blown
up, Mr. Roosevelt had no doubt that
ji.r r$5lf fqllow and that shortly, and
bt energlf -ero bent with redoubled
f ofce to gtttlng the navy ready. When
war did finally break out, Mr. Roose
vvlt was for rushing matters, for tak
ing Havana at once and dictating
terms from there.
ROOSEVELT'S ROUGH RIDERS.
Naturally enough, Roosevelt would
not be content to sit behind a desk
while there was fighting going on. He
submitted his resignation to the presi
dent on April 10 and tried to get an ap
pointment upon General Lee's staff.
Then came the rough rider idea, the
seventh phase of Roosevelt's career,
hardly thought of before it was realized.
"Roosevelt's rough riders" something
In the alliteration of the name struck
the iopular fancy, and the regiment
became famous before it was organ
ized. Roosevelt had had some military
experience as a captain In the Eighth
regiment, but not enough, in his esti
mation, to fit him to command a regi
ment in time of war, and he modestly
took the second place and was content
to learn from his friend. Dr. Wood.
It is hardly necessary to recount the
history of the rough riders from the
time they were organized in San An
tonio, Tex., until they were mustered
out at Camp Wikoff to recall the jun
gle light of Las Guasimas and the
bloody charge at San Juan Hill. The
tale is still on every one's lips. But it
is worth while to recall the remarkable
Influence Roosevelt's personality had
over his men, an influence that welded
a thousand or more independent cow
punchers, ranchers and athletes into a
lighting machine. "You've got to per
form without flinching Whatever duty
is assigned you regardless of the diffi
culty or dagor attending it. No mat
ter what comes you mustn't squeal."
These words of Roosevelt's became. al
most a religion with his men. "To do
anything without flinching and not to
squeal" was their aim. and to hear
the colonel say "Bully!" was reward
enough.
:
GOVERNOR, VICE PRESIDENT,
PRESIDENT.
Colonel Roosevelt returned to the
United States to find that he was al
ready talked of as the next governor of
Xew York. But his regiment, which
he had "breathed and eaten with for
three months," was still on his hands,
and he had no time for anything but it.

ROOSEVELTS ANCESTRY.
Theodore Roosevelt was born Oct. 27,
1S58, in his fathers house, 28 East
Twentieth street. In Xew York city. In
that quiet region around Gramercy
park, the home of many families bear
ing iaries held In high honor and es
teem, there was noue bearing a uame
more highly honored and esteemed
than the family into which Theodore
Roosevelt was born. For six genera
tions his forbears had been, prominent
as citizens of Xew York and distin
guished in the councils of the city. Ills
father, James J. Roosevelt, was alder
man in 182S. 1823 and 1830, assembly
man from 1S35 to 1840, congressman
from 1841 to 1843 and supreme court
Justice from 1S54 to 1SG0; his grandfa
ther, James Roosevelt, who was a mer
chant, was assemblyman in 171)0-97
and alderman in 1800; his great-grandfather,
Cornelius C Roosevelt, likewise
a merchant, was alderman from 1785 to
1801; his great-great-grandfather, Cor
nelius Roosevelt, was alderman from
1759 to 1704; his great-great-greatgrandfather,
John Roosevelt, also a
merchant, was alderman from 1748 to
17C7. and his great-great-great-great-graudfather,
Nicholas Roosevelt, was
alderman of New York city in 1700-01.
Such was the life of the sturdy Dutch
ancestors from whom Theodore Roose
velt inherited his name. But. although
his name is Holland Dutch. Scotch,
Irish and French Huguenot blood min

that of his Dutch ancestors and ac

Impetus of family and the favorable
material conditions in which he found
himself as well as by the force of his
own personality, Roosevelt might have
advanced rapidly in any path he chose,
whether it led toward brilliant social
success or the making of a large for
tune. That he chose a career of public
service is characteristic of the man.
the more so in that he saw in th
course ho had marked out for himself
small chance of pecuniary remunera
tion and a struggle for principle that
might jeopardize those rewards that
are the politician's. Once decided fce
never swerved from his course, for
more than twenty year he has been
before the public eye as an aggressive
political force.

THE ROOSEVELT HOMESTEAD.
Vice President Roosevelt's homestead
near Oyster Bay, N. Y.. is an ideal
country seat, aud the Roosevelt fami
ly is a very old one In the neighbor
hood. The house is large, homelike
and countrified, quite unpretentious. It
crowns the very topmost peak of Saga
more hill.
The approach to the house, through
forest and meadow, Is beautiful and
refreshing in the extreme. But it is
not until after one reaches the top of
Sagamore hill that the full beauty of
the magnificent panorama Is revealed.
The view of the bay, the headlands,
with the Long Island sound and the
Connecticut coast stretching for miles
and resting against the deep blue of
the sea, is so restful, 60 altogether
lovely, that it cannot soon fade from
the memory.
The library, which is a splendid
room directly off the main hall, con
tains about 5,000 books. The interior
is one of enchantment to the genuine
book lover. A big open fireplace
stretches across one end of the room.
Above it is a magnificent display of
the heads of Ueerv rams, antelopes,
mountain sheep and other trophies of
Colonel Roosevelt's skill as a hunter.
The floors are covered with rugs
made of the skins of lions, bears, buf
faloes and panthers, all victims of the
vice president's gun. In fact the whole
house is adorned with trophies of the
chase.
Here it is that most of his books ami
articles, of which he has written many,
were brought into being.
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt is the most
enthusiastic admirer and ardent IicIikt
of her husband in his political career.
She is absorbed heart and soul in her
husband's success, as she has been
from the time they first knew each oth
er as children. Mrs. Roosevelt, who
liefore her marriage was Miss Edith
Carow, possesses great intelligence, a
remarkably line education and a won
derful power of effacing herself and at
the same time exerting a great influ
ence. She is very pretty, slight of
medium height and has dark brown
-eyes and hair. She has not gone much
Into society since her marriage, as she
has been more or less an Invalid, and
she has devoted herself entirely to her
children and her home. She has live
children of her own, and there is also a
daughter by Mr. Roosevelt's first wife,
a girl of seventeen, to whom Mrs.
Roosevelt is the most devoted of mothers.
MRS. ROOSEVELT AND THE
CHILDREN.
e
Mrs. Roosevelt was a playmate of
Mr. Roosevelt's sisters and of MT.
Roosevelt himself when they were chil
dren. They went to the same dancing
class, were identified with the same set
in society, and there were a great
many iieople who predicted that as
these children grew up they would
marry. However, as is well known,
Mr. Roosevelt's tirst wife was Miss
Lee of Boston, and at the time of that
marriage Miss Carow was abroad,
where she remained for some time.
Mr. Roosevelt met her In Europe after
his wife's death, and their engage
ment was not announced for some
months. When it was announced, the
congratulations were most sincere from
every one who knew them and realized
how well suited they were to one an
other. Like her husband. Mrs. Roosevelt is
an enthusiastic novel reader, but also
keeps well up on all the topics of the
day. She is a good French scholar and
also speaks German. During the years
spent in Europe she traveled every
where and always kept up her studies.
The Roosevelts heretofore have seldom
ROOSEVELT.
entertained formally, preferring t
keep open house.
When they first wet to Washington,
It was quite a break to leave all ihvit
Kew Tort friends, tout it was not long
before Mrs. Roosevelt as well as her
husband had formed a circle of new
acqna'.ntances, and their house in
Washington was tho center of much
that was delightful and interesting.
When Mr. Roosevelt decided to come
back to New York again, Mrs. Roose
velt felt badly at breaking up her life
in -Washington, but, as usual, said
nothing and allowed herself to be car
ried away by her husband's enthusi
asm over his new field of work and
came back to Xew Y'ork and took up
her life where she had left it before.
As is well known, the life here, was
short, and back again they went to
Washington.
But during all these chances and
changes the quiet routine of Mrs.
Roosevelt's life, if it could be a routine
one, went on, and, with the exception
that the place itself was altered, there
was no difference made. Every sum
mer has been spent at Oyster Bay,
where the life led is entirely an out
door one. Mrs. Roosevelt there, as
elsewhere, superintends the education
of her children. 5he does not instruct
them herself, but she makes a point of

going into their lessons always once a
week. If they are at school, she goes
to the school and stays through the
day, in order to know just what the
children are studying.
The Roosevelt children are Alice,
seventeen years old; Theodore, Jr.,
fourteen; Kerinit, twehe; Ethel, ten;
Archibald, seven, and Quentin, four.
They are all bright and interesting,
and, as the lioys are as full of pranks
as possible and have none of the ex
clusiveness so common to children
reared in allluence, it is likely that the
grounds of the White House will be
much more lively than they have been
for a generation.
The romping, outdoor life which these
children have hitherto enjoyed at Oys
ter Bay during nearly eight months of
each year has had the effect of making
athletes of them all. Teddy Junior is
said to be an excellent boxer, a good
runner and Juiuimt, a first class swim
mer and a magnificent horseman. In
deed all the children ride well, for
their father has always held that horse
back riding is the most healthful exer
cise in the world- The children have
taken to it so naturally that a visitor
who saw them some time ago on their
favorite mounts laughingly remarked
to the colonel that if he should ever
conclude to raise another regiment of
rough riders he will be able to get sev
eral recruits without leaving his own
premises. Teddy junior is so striking
a counterpart in miniature cf his fa
ther that his identity Is clear to per
sons meeting him for the first time at
places where they would naturally not
expect to see him. His mental habits
and his impulsive manner are also
those of his father, who, by the way,
is regarded by the youngster as the
greatest man in the world. His sole
expressed ambition is that he may live
to be as good a man as his paternal
ancestor.
