NEVER DRANK A COCKTAIL
Doctor Declares That if Colonel Was
Drinking Man He Would Not Have
Survived Bullet Tells of Abstinence
on Trip to Africa.
Marquette, Mich., Mny 28. Colonel
Theodore Hoosevelt, ex-president of
the United States, went on the witness)
stand In the county court of Mnrquetto
county and made u clean breast of his
private history In the mutter of stimu
lants. Ho made this revelation to
twelve men of this mining region foui
miners, three teamsters, two farmers,
n lumberman, a locomotive llrcmuii
and a blacksmith In whose hands Is
placed the question whether the charge
made by George A. ftewett of Ish
pemlng In his paper, Iron Ore, that the
colonel gets drunk frequently and that
all his Intimates know It has any
foundation.
The colonel was his own first witness
In his $10,000 libel suit aguiust tin
country editor. lie reviewed his whole
public life and weut Into lutlmate par
ticulars concerning the small quanti
ties of liquor ho had drunk on various
occasions. lie declared that never
since he became of age had ho been In
the slightest degree under the Inllu
once of Intoxicants.
"I am not a teetotaler," ho said, "but
I am abstemious In the extreme."
The audience, which packed the
courtroom, listened with eager Interest
while the colonel related Incidents of
his career as soldier, governor, presi
dent, African hunter, contributing edi
tor and candidate for re-election to the
presidency. Sometimes a smile was
seen among the listeners, but the colo
nel never smiled. lie was thoroughly
in earnest.
Colonel Boosevclt nsserted that ho
never drank a cocktail or a highball In
his life. He took a sup of beer ou one
occasion to please some Germans In
Milwaukee, the place which the amber
fluid "made famous," but he didn't
like beer. IIo didn't like tobacco
cither, he said, and for that reason
never smoked.
, Prefers Tea to Brandy.
The colonel declared that he never
drank whisky or brandy, except on the
advice of a physician. Sometimes, be
isald, he took a teaspoonful of brandy
In milk Just before going to bed. He
said he didn't believe ho had taken a
drink at a bar In twenty years.
He related bow on one occnslon ho
took milk and doughnuts In preference
to champagne, nnd how on his African
hunt, when Dr. Mearns advised him to
drink a little brandy, he replied that he
disliked brandy and would take tea In
stead. Jacob A. Itils followed Colonel Roose
velt on the stand. He declared with a
"Lord, no!" that he never had seen
the colonel Intoxicated during his long
acquaintance with him. As to the
charge that the colonel used profane
language, he asserted that the worst
thing ho over heard Mr. Roosevelt say
was "By Godfrey!"
Dr. Alexander Lambert, Colonel
Roosevelt's personal physician, declar
ed on the stand that the colonel's
speedy recovery after ho was shot was
due to his "splendid, uupolsoned phy
sique."
When the colonel was called to the
stand, clicking his teeth in the long
familiar manner, ho leaned forward In
the witness chair and began his story,
"I was born In New York. Oct 27.
1859." he said.
Then ho told of his election to the
Now York legislature In 1881: his un
successful campaign for mayor of Now
York In 18S0; his term as assistant
secretary of the navy, and his reslgna
tlon to be lieutenant colonel of the
rough riders in 1S0S.
"I was In tho lighting around Santl
ago, where my regiment lost over one
third of Its officers nnd over ono-flfth
of Its men, killed and wounded," ho
observed. "I was promoted to colonel
of the regiment nnd raado acting brlga
dler general on returning to Montauk
Point. The army was there disbanded
in September. I was at onco nominat
ed for governor of New York and was
elected."
Then came tho meat of his evidence,
After telling of Ills two terms as pros!
dent and his African lion hunt, the
colonel said he remembered Oct. 12,
1012. very well. This was the day on
which Editor Ncwett printed ills al
leged libel, charging that the colonel
"gets drunk, nnd that not Infrequently,
and all his Intimates know It"
Colonel Roosevelt Identified tho copy
of Iron Ore. Nowett's paper, which
contained the charge.
"I think I saw that first in Mercy
hospital," he said, "after I was shot,
It may have (been in Milwaukee, the
day I was shot"
"I've Never Drank a Cocktail."
"I havo never drunk a cocktail or a
highball In my life. With, exceptions
noted, I never drank whisky or brandy
except under tho advice of a physician.
I don't care for tho tnsto of either.
Uon't smoke and I don't drink beer, be
cause I dlsllko smoking and dislike the
tnsto of beer. I neycr have drunk
whisky or brandy except when the
doctor prescribed it, or possibly on
Bomo occasion after great exposure.
when I was chilled through. But it
HER BOY IN BLUE.
She stood besldo a Bravo that had
Somehow, been passed unseen;
Her hair was white, her toco was sad.
Her tears splashed on tho green.
"Good mother, does your soldier son,"
I asked, "Ho sleeping here?
Or may ho bo somo other one
That once was near and dear?"
Her bunch of lilacs tenderly
She placed abovo the dead.
And then Bhe turned and gazed at me
A moment ero she said:
"Ho that today lies sleeping here
Is not my lost loved one,
But someone held him near and dear
Ho was somo mother's son."
"If he was not your love, why weep
As you aro weeping, pray?
Why linger where ho lies asleep.
Why deck hls.gravo today?"
"Round yonder cottage, on the hill,"
Sho said, "he used to play;
I otten hear his prnttlo still.
Though ho Is far away.
"And It was there his father died,
'Twas there I nursed him, too;
Twas there my darling left my side
To join tho boys In blue.
"Today ho Ilea 'neath other skies
I cannot tell you whoro
And weeds may wnvo abovo tho gravo
That needs his mother's care.
'And ho that sleeps so soundly hero
Was one who wore the gray.
And Bhe that held him near and dear
May weep for him today."
And do you deck tho grave of one
Who woro the hated gray
Who, haply faced your martyred son
In that unrighteous frayr
'Ah, ho Is sleeping soundly, toot
Who knows? Some other may
Place flowers abovo my boy In blue.

has been certainly fifteen or twenty
years since I have dn.iiU It because of

1 have never drunk beer, uor do I
drink red wine. The only wines that I
have drunk have been cither white
wines, Madeira, champagne, or very
occasionally n glass of sherry. At homo
I often at dinner will drink a wine
glass or two of Madeira. In summer In
stead of the Madeira I will often drink
a tall glass of white wine and Poland
water.
Occasionally Takes Champagne.
"At public dinners I sometimes drink
a glnss of champagne, or perhnps two.
I think that on the average this means
that I will drink champagne about once
a mouth.
"Tho only exceptions to what I have
stated about drinking whisky nnd
brandy are as follows:
"Mint juleps I very rarely drink. In
tho White House we had a mint bed,
and I should think that on tho average
may have drunk half a dozen mint
Juleps n yenr.
"Since I left the White nouse four
years ago, to tho best of my memory I
have drunk mint Juleps twice, on one
occnslon nt tho country club at St
Louis, where I drank part of a glass of
mint julep, nnd on another occnslon nt
a big lunch given me at Little Rock.
Ark., where they pnssed around the
table a loving cup with tho mint julep
in it, nnd I drank when the cup was
passed to me.
"The only other occasion on which I
have drunk whisky havo been when it
has been prescribed by tho doctor. Dur
ing tho last fourteen years I do not be
lieve I havo drunk whisky straight or
with wnter more than half n dozen
times.
"On the African trip tho expedition
took along a case of champagne, a case
of whisky and one bottle of brandy.
Tho bottle of brnndy wns taken for me
becnuso I don't drink whisky.
"Some of tho other members of the
party drank whisky. The champagne
wns used occasionally for three mem
bers of tho party who were down with
fever nnd dysentery."
G0MPERS HAS MASTOIDITIS.
Physicians Uncertain Whether on Op
eration Is Necessary.
Washington, May 28. Physicians at
tending Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor,
now HI at Atlantic City from mastoi
ditis, wired tho federation headquar
ters that they had not yet determined
whether an operation would bo neces
sary. The labor leader Is said to be in
good health, but suffering considera
bly from tho ear trouble. An opera
tion will not be undertaken unless
there is absolute necessity, as It is con
sidered grave In n man of Gompers'
ago.

of 410 miles. In 0 hours and 7 minutes.
When they were passing near Pisa

on tho brass with a cloth. Stains as
well as tarnish woro quickly removed.
Tho solution Is inexpensive and easily
prepared.
Cleaning Gold and Platinum.
A good wny to clean gold or plat
inum Jewelry Is to first brush with
loapsuds, then dust magnesia powder
aver tho artlclo and allow it to dry. A
few rubs with a cloth make the ar
tlclo shino with great luster. As mag
noala powder Is highly Inflammable, it
must be kept away from fire. ,

Mrs. Rosa Mcnschlk Szabo In Green
wood lake last July, wns concluded be
fore Supremo Court Justice Tompkins
hero with the exception of one minor
witness' story. That witness wired
that he wns on his way from Boston.
At the Inst minute Justice Tompldns
decided to give tho defense tho privi
lege of a short delay, to permit him to
nppear. Otherwise tho case would
havo gone to the jury last night. It Is
thoucr'it It will reach the jurors late
this afternoon.
After the rowboat which Gibson nnd
Mrs. Szabo used on Greenwood lake
was produced In court the lawyers for
the defense called John J. Wright who
declared that owing to tho wny the sun
reflected on the water it was impos
sible to tell Just what was happening

cine, testified that in the conditions,

whether death was due to strangula
tion, drowning or other onuses.
Experts For Defense.
With the nid of the rowboat the de
fense hoped to prove to the jury that
Mrs. Sznbo was drowned after the boat
accidentally upset Three experts testi
fied their belief that Mrs. Sznbo died of
drowning nnd not of strangulation.
Joseph Ryerson, the engineer of tho
Oneida, which rescued Gibson, testified
that he was returning with Gibson
when he met Mlntuni's boat going out
Ho was corroborated by Lewis Van-

fenso complained that John n. Wright
Edward Clark and Mr. nnd Mrs. E. A.
Leech, who had been subpoenaed, were
not in court, and Justice Tompkins di
rected body attachments for tho miss
ing witnesses.
The defense opened the session he
calling Thomas Garrison of Greenwood
Lake in an effort to show that Gibson
and tho woman fell out on opposite
sides of the rowboat and thnt marks
nnd bruises on Mrs. Szabo's body came
from the rough handling received when
it was taken from tho water.

the wedding Mrs. Shoemaker took
the child and returned to the home
of her parents in Seattle.

FASCINATING HAIR.
Easy to Stop Hnlr Falling Out, nnd
Dandruff Also.
No one doubts that It Is the duty
of every woman to look as charming
as possible. Every woman knows
why she wants to be beautiful and
attractive.
A woman with scant hair, dull and
lifeless, has lot half her charm.
How many times have we heard the
expression "the crowning glory of a
woman Is her hair."
Nowadays, thanks to Parisian
Sage, almost every woman can have
hair so radiant and so glorious that
it attracts, fascinates and compels
admiration.
Parisian Sage, the scientific and
Ideal hair rejuvenator and tonic, will
cause hair to grow. It will turn
harsh, withered hair into lustrous
and bewltchingly luxuriant hair In a
few days.
It is a most delightful hair dress
ing that kills the dandruff germs,
stops falling hair, and eradicates
dandruff In two weeks, or your mon
ey back.

Richard W. Perry of Seattle. Dr.
Perry and his wife got papers of
adoption whereby the boy's name was
changed to Henry Barclay Perry.
Senator Pllos, representing Mr.
Shoemaker, asked tho court to annul
the adoption and restore the family
namo to tho child, contending that
his client had no notice of the hear
ing on the adoption petition. It was
set forth also that Henry Francis
Shoemaker, grandfather of tho boy,
for whom he was named, had made
a ?2,000,000 bequest to the boy's
father, who in turn pledges it to his
five-year-old son at his death.
It was urged that tho inheritance
will be lost unless tho boy retains
the family name. It was contended
further that tho child Is tho only
grandson of Henry Francis Shoemak

be perpetuated, If at all, through
him alone. The grandfather, It is
said, is 67 years old.
