Invitations for the wedding had been sent out. Presents had begun to come in from the rela- tives and friends. It is customary to send all wedding presents to the bride, and for such of them as are marked to use her initials or monogram, since her name does not change until the marriage ceremony and the presents are sent .NO. Jacob Zeigler’s mother sent a set of silverware to the bride, but she had it marked with a “Z” instead of an “L.” If she had waited until after the wedding and then sent the silver the “Z” would have applied to the bride’s name. | Miss Lazarus felt offended at the premature appearance of the in- itial “Z.” She regarded the present of her future mother-in-law as some- thing of a slight instead of a benefaction. And she told Jacob so. That started a quarrel which led to the breaking off of the engage-| ent and the return of the wedding presents. Mr. Zeigier’s mother has back the set of silverware marked with a “Z’ and can use it herself. | Jacob wisely said, “It is best to call it all off if it is to be a case of quarrel.” | It undoubtedly is. While the breaking of some engagements is a mistake, there should be:more engagements broken than are broken. It is better to find out differences in temperament, disposition, habits or stundards of life before marriage than afterward. A broken engagement is far better than a divorce, and a divorce is the worst way to break an engagement. | . A girl who has no more sense than to criticise her future mother-in- | Irw's knowledge of wedding etiquette is quite likely to indulge after mar- | tiage in frequent criticisms of her husband's family. Jp criticise one an- other’s ancestors is a most needless cause of quarrels and one of the most | Fankling sources of dissension in married life. *°- A quarrelling wife is even worse than an extravagant wife, because, while a husband may possibly limit his wife’s expenditures, the more he tries to control her temper or her tongue the worse they are. A woman, too, may be sure that if the man she is about to marry drinks too much while they are engaged, or is lacking in attention to her or consideration for her, then the same grievous faults will manifest them- selves more often and to a greater extent after the wedding ceremony. ! Young married people seldom get along with the other’s relatives. The best solution for that is for the téJatives to keep away, and espe- ly for the respective mothers tu let the newly married couple buy their own furniture, decide where they will live themselves | wrestle with their own domestic s not vin the > | her future mother-in.

"KINLEY'S death had thrown Roosevelt into just the position from which the latter's political foes would have done anything to bar him. They dreaded to see his aggressive. strenuous, combative quale itfes applied in so lofty an office as the Presidency, Everywhere interest and suspense were at high pitch. The new President did not long keep the country waiting to learn how he intended to conduct’himself. The man who had smashed the “regulars” {n the Assembly, who had shaken up the New York Police Department, who had revolutionized the Navy and who had as Governor defied the State bosses—this mas} of nervous energy was not con- tent to settle down into a mere dignified national figurehead. The dynami¢e force that had always goaded him onward now took a fresh impetus. The country speedily found it had a “live wire” President Following out the policies laid down by McKinley, the new Chief Execu- tive promptly developed policies of his own as well. He was openly accused ot inciting Panama’s revolution against Colombia in order to puch the Panama Canal project. He justified his action by declaring that Colombia was using zand tactics and had to be brought to terms. Manz of his appointments and removals, too, caused comment. But of all the diverse opinions stirred up in the public mind by Reose- velt's sensational career, none others compared in vehemence and variance of view with those aroused by his attitude toward the trusis. Fiom the very first he fought to curb the great corporations. Then came his crusade against the Beef Trust. Though this trust generally o—n~ supposed to be mortally stricken by the Pre ident’s ac- ‘Anti-Trust Crusade.” $ tion, it has continued to do business in alarmingly lively 3 } fashion ever since. In the Northern Securities case, how- on ever, Roosevelt scored a signal victory. Many accu ed him of bringing on the recent panic and hard times by his war against the corporation:, etc. He replied to such criticisms by saying he had not caused the diseased financial conditions, but had merely pointed out their presence, Posterity can judge better than can the present generation the true effect of Roosevelt's life work and can take a more correct measure of the man. Roosevelt had for years cherished the ambition to be President. When he succeeded to the office through McKinley's death, he was not yet satisfied. He wanted to be chosen to it by the people. His wish was gratified when, in 1£04, he was overwhelmingly elected to a second term. He then published his famous pledge not to run for President again ‘Roosevelt luck” has become proverbial. It has never yet wavered nor failed to advance the welfare of its fortunate posse-sor. The President has not been content with venting his unbounded force- fulness upon affairs of State. Almost no topic seems too obscure to draw 1 a forceful expression of opinion from him. “Race suicide,” “nature ‘and other alleged evils, such as few former Pre jdents dabbied in, eceived official condemnation. Nor does the Chief Executive confine himself to the calmly judicious language hitherto traditional to his office. ‘The expressions “undesirable citize: shorter and uglier word,” ete., are launched on those of whom he disapproves. The “lie direct’ has been be- stowed oftener by him than by probably any other President. The dignity of such utterances has been questioned. This is not the place to dis®iss their propriety. Whether wise or otherwise. they have servec to keep Roose- velt ever in the public eye and to make people await eagerly his opinion on all subjects. Apart from his political achievements, the President has won a high and merited renown as an author. He has written more extensively and on more widely differing subjects than has many a famous man “The Strenuous whose sole occupation is literature. All branches of } Life.” } athletics have a keen fascination for Roosevelt. He enn excels as a rider, fencer, tennis player, boxer and wresuer In his daily routine, as in his writings. he preaches the doctrine of the “strenuous life.” Friends and enemies alike admit that Theodore Roosevelt is one of the most picturesque, interesting figures in national history. The fierce nervous energy that is so potent a part of his character makes him stand forth siartlingly distinct from the ranks of his graver, more sedate predecessors. The series is ended.
