Denver, Colo. Nov 2O.-The Rocky

five miles from Denver. fifteen or TWEEN
ty patients in the early stages of con-

promoters, virS1aliy taking care Of

The rules Of the institution compel
a continuous outdoor life to be main

tient is provided with d r0Omy tent
D elty of warm clothing and blankets,
and a small stove to be used only in
extremely cold weather. Experience

great colony Of ali consumPtives who

are a constant menace to the public
health
While no one is allowed by the arti-
cles of incorporation TO profit by the

known as "Old Bf1' Sewall, and to-
his house one day in autumn about
twenty-five years ago, came a rather,
delicate youth, armed with a gun and
fishing rod and looking for a place to
board for a few months while he
''rOughed it" for the benefit Of his
health. The youth was Theodore
Roosevelt of New York and he was
made welcome. For many weeks ac-
companied by bill" Sewall and Wilbur
Dow. a young man living in the neigh
borhoCd, the young man went hunting
and fishing. and gradually the color
came into his face and strength to his
muscles If he was slight and rather
sickly, he had plenty of grit, and soon
he won the friendship and admiral ton
of all the wOOdsmen in the Island
Falls section. They said that although
at first sight the young tourist didn't
look as if he'd pull through" he was
game to the back bone. and if sticking
to it was any help, they thought he
might turn out all right after all.
Many stories are told by those who
remember ROosevelt's visit of his
courage and persistency. One day,

BOYS STOLE THE BEER.
Thirst Among the
Guests at a Wedding.


a tale of the depTedations Of hood
lums who chopped open a shed and
stole the keg of beer that was designed
TO regale the wedding guests at the
home of George Fit, near Third West
and Seventh North streets, was poured
into the ears of the desk sergeant at
the police station late last night by the
father of the bride. Mr.. FIT informed
the desk sergeant that he had provided
the key of beer especially for the we'd
ding. and fearing that there might be
mischievous boys around, had locked
it securely in the shed and pOcketed
the key When Mr.. Fit went out to
tap the keg of refreshments the first
time he found several boys standing
around and, opening his heart under
the influence OF the occasion, gave the
boys two glasses each. Locking the
door behind him and never doubling
but that the key was safe, returned to
the company with the drinks. A while
later he returned to the shed for an
other round, and to his establishment
found that two of the boards Of the
shed had been chopped off, and the keg
was missing. The boys were also miss
ing and the secret of the disappearance
of the keg was easily guessed.
Mr.. Fit wanted the boys arrested i'm
mediately, but was informed that he
would have TO learn their identity and
swear out a complaint against them.
