others almost as large have been drilled

Teddy Roosevelt does not come
up to the model of Horatius which
we are told was extremely stead
fast, so that neither the COUNTIES
nance OF the insistant tyrant nor the
rage Of the mob could move him a
jot from his fixed purpose. He
is much more like the lady whom a
poet described as swearing she
would ne'er consent, consented" Z"
He may have never made the state
ment that he would not accept the
nomination if he was given it, but
he certainly gave the impression
with the people to whom he talked
that he did not want it and would
fight against it with all his soul and
heart and mind.-Aspen Tribune.
