r PONY OF ROOSEVELT

BOYS, IS RETIRED

NEW YORK, Nov. 25 In a broad, freon pasture on the wooded slopes f Sagamore Hill, L. I., a fat black md white Shetland pony Is- living a iife of luxurious easo. He enjoys the Signified name of Algonquin. For more than 20 years he has been the pet of the Roosevelt family, says the Evening Sun. Before the death of Mr. Roosevelt, he arranged for the future of Algonquin; that under no circumstances was the pony to be sold, and that the last days of the little animal were to be happy. These orders are being obeyed to the smallest detail. The history of Algonquin Is the history of the Roosevelts from the time Mr. Roosevelt took tho oath as president of the United States, after the memorable campaign of 1904. At this time Algonquin was owned by Archie, the second youngest of the Roosevelt sons. The entrance of the pony into public life was Immediate and sensational. Archie was a devotee of the strenuous life, like hi9 father, and Algonquin was called upon to perform certain hair-raising, "wild western" stunts on the white house lawn, under the guidance of his youthful rider, which if not calculated to chill the hearts of all beholders at least had the effect of attracting a small army of newspaper photographers and reporters. Broke White House Precedent. Archie, boylike, cared not a whit for public attention, and apparently neither did Algonquin. He accepted his notoriety with a bored indifference wnlch thoroughly attested to hia aristocratlc lineage. As for Mr. Roose,yelt, he enjoyed it all, apparently vith as much zest as Archie or Algonquin. Boys must be boys and ponies must be ponies In his judgment, whether on the lawn of the white house or In the woodland pas ire. Algonquin was destined to fracture the white house precedents even more eensationally. By the time Quentin was growing to an age when he was casting longing eyes on the proprietorship of the pony, held for several years by his elder brother, Archie was taken 111 with an attack of fever and was confined to his bed. Quentin, after a careful study of the situation In the sick room, decided that he had found the cure. Quentin's Great Ride. Without a word to the attendants ho flipped away t o the White House Ptabies and snddlrd Algonquin. A few minutes later the dignified guards at the White House were horrified to pee a very small hoy, astride a very rmaU pony, coolly riding up the broad stairway of the national mansion. Their frenzied pretests wero unavailing. Quentin indignantly retorted that h-3 was quite within his rights and that tho one thing necessary to bring si')out. his brother's recovery was AIronquin at his bedside! And. the Joiric;il wr.y to hrin? A1ron.';uir to Arciiif-'s bed was to ride the pony up the f tnirs. Jir-t how Mr. RoosevH fina'Iy dec;.!'s! Mi arnjment Ir net a m.Vtor

v' public record, but the feat, vai 1 r,i;itp enough to bring the fat, bored Algonquin ngnin into the public eye. Probably no pony in Amerr.i rcn-fived j as many press notices ss Algorquin. ! But press notices mcp.nt r.nihing to! Wlte pony. He was much more inter-' e-'ted in the matter of sugar, for he i was bom with a sweet tooth that ap- i parent ly has never been satisfied; even to this day. , As the beys grew to manhood the exercises of Algonquin became more and more limited. N'o more was h taken out by Archie or Quentin to follow their father's big riding hor ' Truxton. But his place in the affection of the Roosevelts was much too enduring for this to count against him. He had been made a member of the family, and the memories and associations that clustered about his fat little body arid the welcoming little neigh could never be set aside. Went to Oyster Bay. Therefore when the time came for Roosevelt to retire to private life and leave Washington for his country es

tate at Sagamore Hill Algonquin was loaded Into a special car and carried in state to New York city and thence to Oyster Bay. With Algonquin went Truxton, for the two had become fast friends. In course of time it was deemed advisable to sell Truxton, but the family never could consider disposing of Algonquin. One of the most generous box stalls ever allotted to a horse in America was given to him, and his ration of sugar was increased until he was in danger of foundering, while In good weather one of the richest meadows in Lang Island was placed at his disposal, wlere he could cantor and nibble at the long grass to his heart's content. Quentin, one of his youthful riders, has since given his life at hia country's call, and Archie is now a busv man of affairs. Their days of "wild west" now are only memories to Archie and to Algonquin.

GERMANY DAZED BY AIR SERVICE DEMAND

(By Associated Press) BERNE, Nov. 25 Germany is fairly dazed by the demands and requirements of the Entente military and naval commissions for the housing of their supervisional forces, which, according to the peace treaty, may have their headquarters at the seat of the German government, and place subcommissioners at any desired point in Germany. The Entente has given notice that it will send a chief commissioner to Berlin, and 10 sub-commissioners to other points. It demands, from Berlin, hotel accommodations comprisig 500 rooms, housing for 300 non-commissioned orflcers and men, and garage facilities for 60 automobiles. These are the requirements for the army and naval forces. ' For the air forces the Entente wants 200 rooms in a hotel, 100 office rooms, housing for 450 persons, and garage

! space for 60 automobiles. The figures

look large to Germans, for guests at all the big hotels even now are happy to be able to creep into a bathroom and snatch some sleep. The Council of States has decided that the money agreed upon to furnish quartets for the Entente missions, 5,000,000 marks, was not

enough. It is, however, rooms, hotels, j dwellings, more than money, which is worrying the government. I The government has made a beginning by announcing that it will coni flscate one hotel which has 185 rooms, ; and use the building in Wilhelmj strasse, now the headquarters of the I press division, for officii space. I Another hotel has been confiscated I for the air division.

BUILDING) ON THE DESERT. There is now nearing completion a 17-mile tangent of Lincoln Highway which cuts across the Salt Lake Desert, shortening the highway by some fifty miles. The desert surface is broken up by means of gang plows arid shaped by means of road graders hauled by caterpillar tractors. Owing to the nature of the soil difficulty was experienced In moist weather, due to the weight of the tractors which sank into the mud despite their broad bearing surfaces. The difficulty was solved by bolting timbers to the caterpillar belts so as to broaden the tread o ft he, machines. As the road bed is completed the gravel is hauled and dumped over it by means of motor trucks mounted on broad steel-tired wheels which serve to pack the road material.

NIGHT SKIES IN ENGLAND. The report of the Photographic Section of the British Astronomical Association of the year ending September r.0, 191S, comments on the unusual amount of light in the sky during the nights of that period. It has, says the report, been possible to read the face of a watch at all hours. The contrast of astronomical negatives has been much reduced. This illumination was not due to searchlights, nor did it seem to be auroral; moreover lighting in towns has been much reduced, under war regulations, so the cause remains ;i mystery.

INVESTIGATE WATER. 1 Water for domestic use should bo

clear, lustrous, oderless, colorless, wholesome, soft, neither strongly acid nor alkaline, and its temperature for general farm purposes should be about f0 degrees P. Tlrese characteristics, however must never be deemed proof of purity, for a glass of water may possess them all and yet contain millions of disease-producing germs. Any suspicious water should be rejected until both the water and the surroundings where it is obtained are passed upon by competent sanitation authority, generally the State Board of Health.

The Beautiful, Classy Car that the Motoring Pubi.o is Most Thankful for

THE SIGN OF THE CAR OF ECONOMY An Instance of Hup Economy A certain Hupmobile in this territory lias close to 50,000 miles behind it. It's entire shop expense has been confined to such adjustments and repairs as this tremendous mileage would noturally require. Xo important or costly part has been replaced up to this time. The car has never left the possession of its original owner, who has given it the cai-e to which any piece of fine machinery is entitled. This man has enjoyed almost uninterrupted service from his car. Practically all his expense has been his running cost and it is a fact that the Hupmobile is unusually economical on tires, oil and gasoline.
