July 23 [Kuly 23, 1910]  A young lady (one of our
neighbors) told me to-day that
Kermit Roosevelt said, recently,
to a friend of hers: -
"My father always thinks he
is 'it'. If he is at a wedding,
he thinks he is the bride;
if he is at a funeral, he
thinks he is the corpse."
Could anything better express
one of the sides of Theodore
Roosevelt's character?
