(St. Louis Much has been published about Presi dent Roosevelts personality, but perhaps only those who have seen him from day to day in his family life can realize his extreme simplicity of manner and conduct. On the last election day, after a campaign of activity that eclipsed the memorable speech-makin- g period of Bryan, Roosevelt retired to his comfortable home at Oyster Bay and awaited the result of the voters battle. Awaited, and yet not awaited, for not a single telegraph wire was put in, and the candidate had to depend on his neighbors or the newspaper men for the news. One of the latter a Sun reporter was the first to serve him, arriving overheated and breathless with the report that there was undoubtedly another Republican victory, and that he had been elected. Presl-deRoosevelt himself to the bell ring and came responded out on the Piszza. I have great news for you, Mr. Roosevelt, said the reporter, pant-in"you are elected of the United States.

President Roosevelt has a mind of his own, and does not hesitate to make it known. A bunch of .prominent politicians, together with a college president and a personal friend, called upon him in Washington to urge the appointn ment of a certain naval officer to the eastern naval station. "We are very glad to see you Mr. Secretary, they voiced together; but quick as a flash. Roosevelt, swinging in his chair, said: Well, Im not at all glad to see you, least of all today. Youve called at a very bad time, for I've got some business to attend to that calls me away at once. I must bid you good In a few minutes Secretary day! Roosevelt was with the late President, and Dewey had been practically decided upon as the officer to be sent to Hong- return from Cuba his aged gardner came up the walk, hoe in hand, and, tipping his cap, said: Mr. Roosevelt, Ive come to finish that talk we had the other day about those onion beds. What talk, James? asked Roosevelt, with a smile. Oh," said the gardener, you know that the afternoon you received that telegram to go to Cuba you and I were standing here and laying out an onion patch. If it suits you, let us plant those onions now! And the onions were planted. - well-know- nt kong. g; President Roosevelt was once traveling in Idaho, and passed a book store, in the window of which was a copy of his Winning of the West.
