The principal feature about these sleeping robes is
their thorough excellence of quality iu workmanship,
materials and finish, coupled with rare novelty and
beauty of designs, such as is rarely met with. Every
garment represents the newest there is iu correct
fashion, all are roomy and will fit easily and com
fortably and even the lowest priced gowns suffer only
in lack of elaborate details, for none are trashy or of
unsatisfactory quality.

For, to Theodore Roosevelt, the men
who had fought under him nt I.as
Guaslmas and San Juan hill were more
Important, far more Important, than
the governorship of tho stato of New
York.
FIRST IN HIS AFFECTIONS.
Only a few days ago, when Gover
nor Roosevelt was surrounded by con
gressmen and senators who wcto urg
ins him to accept the nomination for
the xltc-preslelcncy, "Ruck" Taylor,
one of tho famous marksmen of t'.io
Rough Riders', sat down in the ante
room and wondered whether he would
ever get a chance to shake hands with
his old commander. And then, through
the ojicn doors, Governor Roosevelt
saw the waiting man. Ills eyes lighted
up In welcome, he pushed through the
gioup of men surrounding him, el
bowed a, congiessman out of his way,
dodged an anxious party leader and
advanced with outstteti'heel hand to
gieet "Ruck" Taylor. Tho vlce-ptesi-doncy
could wait. A Rough Rider
wanted to greet him.
"I didn't get a chance to say much
to him," said "Ruck," afterward, "but
you can tell him for me th.it Arkansas
anil the west will bo solid for him."
"For the vlcc-picsldcncy?" he was
asked.
He looked pityingly at his ques
tioner. "For nnythlnz ho wants," he said,
sententious!)'.
And that Is tho spirit of every man
who saw the gallant leader In Cuba.
They se'arcely knew him then, and yet
they followed him thiough shot and
shell. They know him now and tt ill
follow him through any danger that
the mind of man can invent.
A PICTURKSQUU CARICUR.
His Iiiih been u picturesque career.
Ho has done enough iu tho forty odd
years of his life to exhaust on ordin
ary man, yet when lie speaks to you
toela) his whole body seems a muss of
steel wires, his face lights up won
derfully, the lntensest energy is spok
en I), every word and movement. Ho
Is almost explosive.
It has been said that he Is u rash
young man. His political luln lias
been predicted almost yearly. Rut the
surprises that ho is constantly giving
his friends aio not brought on by in
cxpei ienced exuberances.
He is a rapid thinker and n deter
mined worker, and when he has made
up his mind that a thing should he
done ntiroiillon only whets his appe
tite lor the battle.
When, as a 22-year-old representa
tive in tho lower house of tho New
York legislature, he started to dust
political cobwebs from the rafters of
that house with a disregard of prec
edence that seemed almost foolhardy
tho elder politician!! smiled and pre
dicted that tho boy was rushing head
long Into tho Jaws of defeat. Rut
youm; Roosevelt hail made up his nilnel
that his constituents wanted clean pol
itics, nnd ho started in to give them
what they were after. They sent hhn
bnck to the house for another tuim
and then gave him a third.
IN POLITICS.
During the session of 1SS1-82 ho do
voted much of Ills time to tho btudy
of parliamentary form and usage and
so HUet'PHstul was ho that ho was made
the leader of his party during tho next
session. It was In this latter session
that ho introduced and had passed tho
first civil service bill iu the legislature,
nlmcst simultaneously with iho Intro
duction of a similar hill in the nation
al congress.
As chairman of tho Now York dele
gation to the convention that nominat
ed Rialne in 1SS4 he again went rush
ing through tho crowd of older politi
cians, nnd ugam came out with dying
colois. His one defeat wus In his cam
paign for the mayoralty of New York
on the Independent ticket In 1SSC.
Tluco yea-s Inter President Harris
on appointed him civil service commis
sioner and his precedent smashing pol
icy in that work made civil service re
form an Institution for the country to
bo proud of.
When, In May, 1SU3. ho accepted tho
presidency ot the Now York police
hoard he started In on what seemed
tho n.ost foolhardy policy of his career.
He utterly Ignored tho usagss of tho
olllcc. Where others had sat In their
easy chairs while corruption flourished
rank as planta!" weeds, Colonel Roose
velt started on a campaign of purltl
callon that ruined dozens of corrupt
politicians and left only good men In
responsible positions. Pull nnd Influ
ence have mattered nothing to hlrn.
Honesty an' fitness nie nil that he
considers.
The storm of opposition and personal
abuse that cunio upon him from all
sides seemed only to spur him on to
greater energy. His ruin was freely
predicted, but when he resigned his
position to become assistant secretary
of the navy, New York had a clean
police force, and that is what he had
determined to achieve.
The same methods that he had used
In Now York were carried to Wash
ington. He demanded two appropria
tions, amounting to $800,000, to be ex
pended on shot and shell for practice
shooting In the navy. There were loud
outcries at this.
"What!" people exclaimed. "CJlvo
$800,000 to bo thrown nwny on nothing?
What utter nonsense!"
Yet by tho time the war with Spain
broke out tho men, behind tho Ameri
can guns know which way to point tho
muzzle when they wanted to hit n barn'
door. And, Judging from tho nppcar
unco of tho Spanish ships nftcr n
battle (they seldom went through more
than one), there were a few hits made.
When Theodore Roosevelt resigned
his position In the Navy department
nnd went out Into the wilds of tho
West to make good his claim that
cowboys nnd Indians could be organ
ized nnd drilled In thirty days Into a
magnificent fighting force, people
"pooh-poohed" the Idea and ndvlsed
him to give It up. In a month the
Rough Riders were In tho East, ready
to take ship for Cuba.
When Theodore Roosevelt accepted
the commission of lieutenant colonel
nnd announced his Intention of lending
his regiment In person, his political
friends held up their hands In horror.
"Foolhardy!" they exclaimed. "You
will get out of touch with politics. You
will ruin yourself."
The wires became hot with the news
of the glorious conduct of the Rough
Riders. Fight after fight was reported
and somehow or other Theodore Roose
velt always seemed to be In the thick
of it. Even here he Ignored precedence.
When the fighting was over and his
men weic dying of fever and foul food,
their colonel overlooked military red
tape nnd risked court-martial to re
lievo them.
"Will he never learn common sense'"
walled his friends nt home. "Now ho
Is ruined beyond hope."
Yet when ho walked down the gang
plank at Montauk Point, New York
wns standing on tho dock and could
scarcely wait for him to land before
handing him the governorship.
HIS DOMESTIC SIDE.
In 18S6 Colonel Roosevelt married
Miss Edith Kermlr Carow, and three
boys nnd two girls have been tho fruit
of that union. His home, at Oyster
Ray, Long Island, is a model of its
kind. His books nnd hunting trophies
are typical of tho man.
Notwithstanding all his rcmarkabto
activity in public life, he has still
found time to earn a name for himself
in literature. His works Include
"Hunting Trips of a Ranchman,"
"Ranch Life and tho Hunting Trail,"
"Tho Wilderness Hunter," "Tho Win
ning of the West." "The Naval War ot
1S12," "Life of Thomas II. Ronton."
"Life of Governor Morris." "LUc and
Times of Oliver Cromwell," "Essays on
Practical Politics," "History of tho
City of New York," "American Politi
cal Ideals," "The Rough Riders," and.
In collaboration with Captain A. T.
Malian, "The Imperial History of tho
Rrltlsh Navy," and Is Joint author with
Homy Cabot Lodge of "Hero Talcs
from American History."
AS A HFNTER.
As an athlete nnd a hunter, Colonel
Roosevelt has won enviable distinc
tion. What ho calls, the most thrilling
moment of his life ho describes graph
ically in one of his books. It is an ad
venture with a grizzly, bear.
"I held true, aiming behind tha
shoulder," he writes, "my bullet shat
tered the point or lower end of his
heart, taking out a big nick. Instantly
the great bear turned with a harsh
roar of fury nnd challenge, blowing
the bloody foam from Ills mouth so
that I saw the gleam of his whltu
fangs; and then ho charged straight
at me, crashing and bounding through
tho laurel bushes, so that It was hard
to aim. I waited until he came to a
fallen tree, raking him, ns ho topped
It, with a ball which shattered his
chest and went through the cavity of
his body, but ho neither swerved nor
flinched, and at tho moment I did not
know that I had struck him. Ho came
steadily on, and In another second
was almost upon me. I tired for his
forehead, hut my bullet went low, en
tering his open mouth, smnshlng his
lower jaw and going Into his neck.
"I leaned to one side, almost ns I
pulled the trigger; and thiough th
hanging smoke the fitst thing I saw
was his paw, as he made a vicious
fcido blow at me. Tho rush of his
chaigo carried him past. As he struck
he lurched forward, leaving a pool of
bright blood where his muzzle hit the
ground; but ho recoveied hhnself nnd
made two or three ontvaids, while I
hurriedly Jammed a couple of cart
ridges Into tho magazine; my rifle
holding only four, all of which I had
fired. Then ho tried to pull up, but as
ho did so his muscles .seemed suddenly
to give way, his head dropped and ho
rolled over and over like a shot rabbit.
Each of my first three bullets hud in
flicted a mortal wound."
A WESTERN ADVENTURE.
A Western tiapper tells another story
of a hunting adventure.
"You know, Colonel Roosevelt is
very near-sighted," he sayB, "nnd he
carries more kinds of glasses than nn
Englishman; one pair to read with,
one to shoot with and another to walk
with. When the bear charged us he
had on his walking glasses; and when
I told him that tho beast was upon him
he coolly took off these glasses, folded
them up, put them away In his pocket,
took out nnd wiped his shooting
glasses, and put them on as quietly
and deliberately as If there was not a
bear In the whole country.
"By the tlmo ho had got his glasses
adjusted the bear was near, but lie
pulled up his gun und killed him In hU
tracks, and did not seem lu tho least
bit excited."
Many good stories nre told of Colonel
Roosevelt's care of his precious eye
glasses. One of the Rough Riders tells
this tale:
"Colonel Roosevelt had been In the
habit of wearing noseglasses with a
black silk cord attached, but tho ar
rangement was entirely unsuiteu to a
campaign, where tho glasses them
selves would be liable to fall oft con
stantly and tho cord to catch on twigs.
So he substituted very large, round
spcctncles with steel hooks for tho ears,
and had a dozen pairs mounted. These
he planted around his person and
equipment, trying to distribute them
so no one accident could Include them
all. One pair wns bowed In his blouse,
another In his belt, another In his hat,
two In his saddle-bags nnd so on.
'At the tight nt Guaslmas his horse
was barked by a bullet while held by
an orderly and plunged frantically
against a tree. Colonel Roosevelt came
rushing up, nil anxiety, and begun
nrvincr under the saddle flan.
" 'They haven't hurt the nag, sir,'','
said tho orderly.
" 'I know,' replied tho colonel, with
tears in his voice, 'but blast 'em,
they've smashed by specs!'
When Colonel Roosevelt first went
and bought a ranch In the Bad Lands
of Dakota, the cowboys tried ta treat

him ns a New York dude, hut that dld
not last Ioiir. After a man named Dd
Moies had broken up a gang1 of horss
thieves nnd desperadoes, nnd had leftt
the country, some of toe gang mada
attempts to reorganize. They weret
openly aided by the sheriff.
Colonel lloosevelt called a meeting)
of all the ranchers nearby, summoned!
the sheriff, nnd, with his gun in his
hand, called that official n liar and ol
horse thief. A tenderfoot didn't often
get a chance to use such language,
twice, hut the sheriff had to take hia
medicine and resign.
On IiIh own ranch, too, he showed
the stuff from which ho was made. Ho
bought the most unmanageable coit;
ponie3 he could find in the country, and
when his men grumbled at havlntf
to ride them, the "dude" picked ouO
the worst horse of the lot and broka
It. At one tlmo he was thrown andl
four of his ribs were fractured, bull
he picked himself up, remounted and
conquered the beast before dressing
his Injuries.
His shooting, too, won the respect off
the rough ranchmen. Colonel Hoose
velt cannot see ten yards In front ofi
him without his glasses, and is a poor)
shot .with a revolver, but give him a)
rllle and a long range shot and he can
do borne fancy work. Further than!
this, he won his men's admiration byj
putting on the gloves with the blgt
gest and roughc&t cow-punchers on"
his ranch.
HIS PHILOSOPHY.
He has summed up his philosophy of
life in his own words.
"If you could speak commandlnglj",
to the young men of our nation," ha
was asked on one occasion, "what
would you say to them?" His reply)
was:
"I'd order them to work. I'd try
to develop and work out nn Ideal ofl
mine the theory of the duty of thd
leisure class to the community. I havn
tried to do It by example, and It la
that 1 have preached; first nnd fore
most, to be American, heart and soul
nnd to go in with any person, heed
less of anything but that persona
qualifications. For myslf, I'd work;
as quick beside Pat Dugan aa
tvlth the laht descendant of a patroon;
It literally makes no difference to mo
ho Ions na tho work is good and the
man Is In earnest."
NEW SWING- INVENTED.
James F. Butler, of West Scrnnton
Patents Contrivance.
James F. Hutler, of Bromley avenue,
"West Scranton, is the inventor and
manufacturer of a new and novel
brand ot swing, and has on exhibition
In his workshop a model of it, which
indicates It to bo a very clever and
easy working contrivance. It Is an
automatic swing, being given the nee
essary Impetus to start by the press-
lng of a lover. It stands in a wooden
carriage, but the entire machinery oC
tho swing Itself Is of wrought Iron.
Tho model Mr. Butler shows at pres
cnt is a miniature one, but the swlns
Itself Is fifteen feet high and about Ave
feet wide. Tho two long metal arms
are twelve feet Jong and the upper
machinery of it is about three feet. Tho
lever, which is on one side of tho
swing, Is but one-third shorter than
the atms. 'When this lever is moved
It brings Into play another one In tho
upper part ot tho swing's machinery,
and the combination gives tho swing
a graceful, steady movement.
Tho swing can accommodate from
four to ten persons, and Is Intended to
be used at resorts and excursion
grounds. Mr. Butler has patents pend
ing on it In the United States and
Canada. Ho Intends to put it on ex
hibition during the week in various ol
the city stores, ,
