THE PRESIDENCY.

k

In 1583, when he was leaving for his ranch, a friend asked him what he was going to du.

Look around to see when I'll be Pre sident of the United States. was the reply.

Three years later he was Commissioner of Pulice The same friend laughingly told him that wasn't the Presidency.

No, but I'm on the step," Mr. Roose velt answered.

Many years later in Loudon, after he had been President, the same friend re called these tivo conversations.

Any man who wants a thing hard enough will get it, rounded off the series of neat answers to the interrogatorics.

Roosevelt was never afraid of telling stories directed against himself. Once he paid a

visit to a bookseller's shop in Idaho. He saw a copy of his latest book on the counter, and casually inquired of the shopman Who is this author-

Roosevelt ?"

"Oh, he's

And what do you think of his book continued the rash questioner.

Well," replied the bookman, "I've often thought I would like to meet him and tell him to keep running ranches instead of muddling around in print."

HE DID NOT MEAN IT.

Long years back, when he was sitting on a commission to investigate some charges of corruption in New York muni cipal life, George Bliss, the Serjeant Baztuz of the New York Bar, was put- up

to bully and browbeat him. Mr. Roo- sevelt, though hardly more than a box. leaned suavely towards him, saying: Of course, you do not mean that, Mr. for if you did, we should have to put you out into the street."

Bliss,

Bliss concluded that he did not mean it. Once when he was touring the country be met the Governor of Nebraska, and after talking andless politits, wound up by asking How many children have you Governor?

Nine," was the You are a very good, man,"

n" answer. replied Mr. Roosevelt. You are a bet. ter pan than I am. I have only six."

He could handle rough men to a marvel. In this connection be was fond of relating a double-edged compliment once paid to him. In his carly years in politics, when he was in the New York State Legislature, he was a member of the Committee of Rules, and from time to time had lively passages with his col

One of them, a typical "ward leagues. heeler," became so offensive that Koose velt walked up to him, and spoke a few simple words of reproof which induced the Wheeler " to come to heel. Ic noticed an instant change in his col for the better. One of them came

to him, and said: "I want to tell you, sir, that we all like you. You ain't the sort of a chap as those other chumps is. The fact is, you ain't so much of a gentle man."

ALWAYS A ROUGHRIDER,

When Mr. Roosevelt was elected Pre sident of the United States he introduced into the White House a spirit of schoolboy playfulness which often upset ceremoni Das colleagues and stately visitors. He never forgot that he was a Roughrider, Shortly after his

election be made a trip south, and joined a company of Texas cowboys at dinner-joining with great vocal strength in the rousing chorus: "Rough, rough, we're the stuff:

We want to fight, and we can't get

enough.

Like all men who have swayed great crowds on the platform and in the Press, Mr. Roosevelt was a terse and vigorous paraso-maker. A favourite saying of his however, was Progress is accomplished by the man who does things, not by the man who talks about how they ought to be done!

His motto was

Do not finch; do not foul; but hit the line bard

Weakness, moral or physical, always revolted him. *** Cowardice in the race; as in the in- dividual," he said, is the unpardonable sin."

Here are some of his ideals in his own words

No man is happy if he does not work

I believe emphatically in organised labour

We can as little afford.to tolerate a dishonest man in the public service" as a coward in the Army?"

"This is not and never shall be, a government of either a platocracy ora mob."

"It is unhealthy and undesirable for. the cities to grow at the expense of the country"

We want friendship; we want peace, We wish well to the nations of mankind.”.
