MR. ROOSEVELT’S SONS.
Mr. Kermit Roosevelt, second son. of the former American President, who accompanied bis fattier on his Andean hunting trip, has left New \ork for England, en route for Brazil, where he will stay two years to learn the railroad business. Air. Theodore Roosevelt (a London journal states), has a small private income—not neaily so much as he earns by journalism, but “even if I were- a millionaire,’- he said oil one occasion, “all my sons should learn some useful business. The idle rich are a scourge oi civilisation
and a menace to every community which harbors them. ’ It will be recalled that Air. Roosevelt's eldest son, Teddy, junior, as be is called everywhere in America, learnt the carpet business, beginning at the first rung of the ladder, and is now intimately acquainted with that industry. Both Theodore, jun., and Kermit are fine manly Harvard graduates, excellent horsemen, and crack shots.
