( Continued from Page 1.) , ential negotiations which, conducted at Portsmouth, N. H., effocted peace be tween Russia and Japan ; maintenance of the Monroe doctrine at a period when European powers were interested in the affairs of Venezuela; the recognition of Panama as a republic and his treaty with Pnnapia by which the inter-oceanic canal through that country was put tinder way ; and the settlement, through his moral influence in the face oPa situation in which there was no adequate federal legislation, of the Pennsylvania coal mine 'strike. For his part in terminating the Russo-Japanese conflict he was awarded the Nobel peace prize in 190C. Four year* later, onee more a prirtc citizen he was special ambassador from the j United States at the funeral of King I Edward VII of England. A rift in the friendship between Roose velt nnd his successor as President, Wil j liam Howard Taft, led to the former's I announcement of his opposition to Mr. Taft's renomination. The ex-president's influence had been large in placing Mr. Taft in the White House. Now his in-1 flucnce was equally strong in preventing Mr. Taft from remaining there. Men who had clashed with the Taft policies ! quickly rallied to Roosevelt's support. | Roosevelt assembled what he termed as v constructive Ideas as opposed to the con servative ones of the so-called republi I can "Old Guard," characterized them with the description "progressive" and organized the progressive party by with 1 drawing with his followers from the Chi cago convention of 1912. He became the new party candidate for President. This , split in the republican's ranks resulted ( in Wood row WilsonS election. One of the most dramatic incidents in Roosevelt's life occurred during this j campaign. As he was leaving a hotel, in Milwaukee, to go to a meeting hall 1 to make a political address, a man stand ing among the spectators In the street fired a shot which struck the colonel and smashed a rib. Roosevelt insisted ?' he was not seriously hurt and his auto mobile conveyed him to the hall. There he spoke to an audience which had knew | le<lge of what had happened ? sobbing women and grave-faced men shaken with emotion by his appearance under such circumstances. Examination of the wound showed It was serious and the candl-j date was hurried by irpcHal train to Chicago fof treatment. Though he speed ily recovered the bullet wis never re-.j moved. The assassin was sent to an asylum for the Insane. Roosevelt after leaving the White Traded in Horses and Mules For Quick Salf at Your Own Pricb . 1 ' ' i i , These Horses and Mules are in good shape, anc^ will do the work of horses and mules that cost from two to three times the prices that these can be bought at.

He be came contributing editor to The Out look in 1000, continuing tbih for five years, and later held editorial positions with Th'e Metropolitan and The Kansas City Star. From 1882 to 1017 he pub lished aby>ut <r)0 volumes of works cov ering the wide rauge or naval historj, hunting, biography, the Rough liters, Americanism. nationalism, conservation of womanhood and childhood animals, exploration, the world war arid America s participation in it, and W autobiog raphy. His hunts for big game hnd ,his /.est for exploration took him into the. American west, the heart of Africa and the wilderness of Brazil. Upon his return from his African journey ? a return durihg which he made triumphant entries into European capi tals and was received by nation's rulers, ? including the emperor of Germany ? he arrived in New York to experience what was generally conceded to be the great est ovation an American private citizen was over accorded by the people of his country. This was in 1010. At the head of an exploring party in South America in 1014 he discovered and followed for 090 a Madeira river tributary which the Brazilian government subsequently nninc 'l. in his honor, Reo Theodore. This was the famous "River of Doubt," so called because in many quarters consid ered authoritative it was questioned whether Roosevelt was the first man to explore the stream. During this jour ney the President contracted a jungle fever which was held indirectly respon sible for the abscesses which developed malignantly and required several opera tions at the Roosevelt hospital in New York city in 1018. > b r ' Theodore Roosevelt, besides being a prolific writer, lectured and made pub lic speeches extensively, not only in his own country but <in Kngland, Spain, South America and other parts woiid. The facility with which he made iwlitical enemies and followers made him a marked man for both the bitter and friendly attention of cartoonists and paragrapliers. Quaint and picturesque phrases were coined liberally by him and by others concerning him. "Speak Koftly and use the. big stick", "weasel words," "pussyfoot", "mollycoddle," and "my hat is in the ring", were some of' the Roosevelt expressions which attained wide publicity. The strenuous physical activities in which Roose/elt engaged at the White House included boxing. It was not until eight years after he left the White House that it wax disclosed that during one of these bout*. which he welcomed as a means of keeping him in fighting trim, a blow landed by a' sparring opponent injured one of the colonel's eyes. Later blindness of this eye developed. In the Inter ypnrA of ? his ? life ? two court suits, in which he figured In one as plaintiff and in the pther as defend ant, winning them both,\ kept Roosevelt before the public eye. During the presi dential campaign of 1012V a Michigan editor charged him with ^Intoxication* R>>osevelt instituted a suit for libel and marshalled a notable host of witnesses to testify regarding his private life and habits. Their testimony was so over whelming that the charge was withdrawn in open court and the jury brought in a nomiual verdict of six cents In favor of the ex-President. William Barnes, Jr.. of Albany, N. Y., accused Roosevelt in 1014 of uttering libel \(o a statement asserting that the "rotten ness" of the New York atate governff ment was due directly to the dominance of Tammany hall in politics, aided by* Mr. Barnes and his followers. At Sly racus*, N. Y., In 1015 the jury's* ver dict acquitted Rooaerelt. 4 When the P-uropean war began Roosc volt vigorously advocated a policy of national preparedness, urging universal military training for the nation's youth. Iu speeches throughout the country and in his magazine and newspaper writings he Criticised, in this respect, the policies of Woodrow Wilson during Mr. Wilson's first term as President. Mr. Roosevelt, it has been said, was keenly disappointed when he did not receive the republican nomination for president in 1910. At the same time however, he refused to follow the ad vice of some of his staunchcst followers that he again head the progressive party ticket. Instead he prevailed upon th* progressive party to make Charles Evans Ilughep, the republican caindidfrte, - Its own choice. IIo campaigned for llfn Hughes. With the re-election of Wilson, and America's entry Jnfo the world war soon after, Rootufvelt imme diately supported the President, and bit*' terly assailed the pro-Oermans, pacifists and other type of men who attenvtfcfcd lta delay speeding up the war. ,v*a > rM With the United States n belligerent, Roosevelt endeavored to obtain; tW cbn* sent of the war department to establish an army division which he was anxious to take to France. Thin division was to have included many of the Rongh Hders who were his assodatep jn the campaign in Cuba, and younger men of the same % strenuous habits.; The necessary permission for the formation of such a force was not forthcoming even though Roosevelt expressed willingness to accompany it as a subordinate officer. Onp of Roosevelt's participations In public affairs tookr-KTm~to Washington iu January, 1018, when he, conferred' with United States Senator George B. Chamberlain of Oregon and other mem bers of Congress who were critical of the administration's methods of prosecut ing the war. Roosevelt on this occasion announced his support of the proposal that a war cabinet- be organised to take over the conduct of the war. Denied the privilege of fighting for his flag, Theodora Roolevelt/n it wa s centered on his family's part% tion in the war. His four aoni u hie son-in-law^ Dr. Derby, carried' out prediction made by the former Pralfa before the United States took up an ?that if war came they would eat ?service. Theodore, Jr., became ua} and Archibald a captain, both in Fran* Qucntin entered a French aviation aqua ron, apid Dr. Derby the medical aerrk also beth in Franco. ? Kermit, faiili to pass a physical examination whi< would admit him to the United Statu army, received a commission in the Br} ish army and was soon in Mesopotaml Roosevelt took keen pride in the ae vice button iir^wore with its five star Talking " with newspaper men so a months after his boys had gone abrot 'he told them privately that Theodoi had written him that he h?d been 1 action and that a bullet had struck h trench helmet and glanced off. Theodoi I wrote home, hit? father said, that be r Arretted he had not been wounded jo for the experience. At the time of tk conversation, public announcement bi just been made that "Archie", bad bee jumped In rank from secorfd lienteaai to captain. Roosevelt confided with <!< ; to his listeners that "Archie" bad W a raiding party oat into No Man's Lai at night* and that the promotion ha been won by . gallantry under fire durin this raid. The colonel disclosed fuitk that Kermit, fighting with the.Angk Indian .forces, also had been under flr as the leader of "a troop of whiriii Deverishee,n Indian cavalry.
