Naturally, any man who has been President, and filled other positions, accumulates such things, with scant regard to his own personal merits.

Perhaps our most cherished possessions are a Remington bronze, "The Bronco Buster," given me by my men when the regiment was mustered out, and a big Tiffany silver vase given to Mrs.Roosevelt by the enlisted men of the battleship Louisiana after we returned from a cruise on her to Panama.

It was a real surprise gift, presented to her in the White House, on behalf of the whole crew, by four as strapping man-of-war's-men as ever swung a turret or pointed a twelve-inch gun.

The enlisted men of the army I already knew well--of course I knew well the officers of both army and navy.

But the enlisted men of the navy I only grew to know well when I was President.
