The purpose of Clark in purchasing nt t ed IN HIS WESTERN DAYS. Anerdot That Shows tha Observing Character of President Roosevelt. Much of President Roosevelt's personality Is shown in the following story by a chance acquaintance on a train. The first time, says the narrator, that I ever qaw him was back in the early '80's, f met him on n sleeping car coming east from Wyoming, where he had been visiting his ranch on the edge of the bad lands. At that time he was unknown to the public except as the author of a few magazine articles on western life, but luckily I had read them and they formed a bridge for conversation. I found him a burly young man with heavy brown beard, which he had allowed to grow during his trip, and with manners that were nervous and aljrupt, but nevertheless very engaging. He was Just recovering from an attack ot snow blindness and ware large blue glasses, ''so he wad pretty well disguised There were eight or ten passengers on the car, representing the usual wide variety of type to be found on the frontier and I remember that Roosevelt easily took the lead In conversation. His versatility and the extent of his Information were surprising, and there was a vein ot quaint humor that ran through his talk and lent a certain sparkle to almost everything he said. Somebody remarked, for Instance, that he had recently visited a new mining camp In the Black Hills and had to pay 60 cents for a drink of execrable whisky, You can always determine n camp's age and stage of development by th price charged for drinks, said RooseFour-b- it velt chuckling. whisky Ad . his New York mansion. Ever piece of granite Is cut to fit n certain place in the growing palace In New York. The quarrymen have the architects plans to go by and each piece of granite is numbered to correspond with the number In the specifications. The quarry yields a beautiful white granite of a kind unlike any other In the world. 'One hundred skilled quarrymen with compressed air drills carve out huge slices of this pure granite, each slice being destined to fit a spacifitd niche in the New York mansion. Seventy-fiv- e skilled atone, cutters recede .the granite at Portland and chip the slices into dressed condilloa. Thn the dressed slices are wrapped in bagging, garnished with slats end shipped by train or boat to New York. Senator Clark Waited" nearly two years for a certain company to furnish the granite and then brushed tbra as.de, bought a quarry adjoining the procrastinating companys works and equipped it himself. Cum Naught for Tftun. It is said that the quarry owners formed a combine for the purpose of raising the pr.ee of granite and marked Senator Clark as the 'anger who would pay the freight But the millionaire from the northwest stood out and nearly caused a panic! among the granlth "workere by buying a quarry of hta own.
