Numbering the faces of people she meets
once or twice and also being able to re-

companion, as we'll as the very wise
an dtender mother of her stepdaughter
and her own children, who are much
younger than Miss Alice Roosevelt.
She has a wide knowledge of politics,
both foreign and American. She is a
frail looking woman, but has much more
strength than she apparently possesses.
She is deeply religious.
Mr. Roosevelt's two sisters are women
noted for their rare charm, intelligence
and their most gracious manners. Mrs.
Cowles, formerly Miss Anna Roosevelt,
has been married only a few years,
although she is onlder than her brother

Shaken Faith.

A religious old darby had his faith
badly shaken not long ago He is sexton
for a white church in a Fayette county
town. and one afternoon as he was in
front sweeping the pavement a strong
wind arose, tearing a piece of the cornice
off and taking a few bricks out OF the
wall. Realizing that good run was
better than a bad stand, the old man
sought shelter in the station house on
the opposite side of the street.
Several minutes later a member of the
church of which Uncle Isham is sex
ton came by, and noticing him in his
retreat, remarked that he thought the
station house a strange place for man
of faith to seek shelter in a storm when
a house of worship was near.

HUSTLER SAM LARSEN CAUGHT
Notorious Desperate of the Cattle
Ranges Arrested in British Column
bia by Mounted Police.
Special to the Inter Mountain.

Especial to the Inter Mountain.)
Fort Benton, Oct. 5.-Some three
months ago Stock Inspector Lund posted
reward for the apprehension of one
Sam Larsen, who was suspected of horse
and cattle thieving as we'll as general
cussedness.
Lund received word yesterday that
Larsen had been arrested by Canadian
mounted police near Lethbridge, and he
will start for that point with necessary
papers for Larsen's eXtradition as soon
as the formalities can be complied with.
Larsen has a very unsavory record
among the ranchmen and stock growers
of the northwest. and is credited with a
long list Of depredations that are par
ticularly irritating to that class Of men.
Horse and cattle thieving. altering
brands and general rustling are among
Larsens specialties. He Is man Of
much nerve and full of resource.
AS an instance of the rustler's re-
sourcefulness, is cited an incident at
the Putnam ranch a year ago. He had
been arrested for stealing valuable
horse from the Conrad Harris cattle
He led the officers to believe that he was
sick and when the handouts had been
removed and he was allowed to separate
few yards from his captors, he sprang
on the back of the fleet animal and made
a successful run for the bad lands.
If Larsen can be convicted on any Of
the charges that Will be made against
him, the cattlemen will feel easier and
more secure in their property. knowing
that for some years, at least. they have
disposed of one Of the most dangerous
rustlers on the ranges.

tragedies have confronted Theodore
Roosevelt before now. and no one who
saw will ever forget his quiet, almost
superhuman, self-control the day when
his mother and his wife. who was MISS
Alice Lee of Boston, We're both laid ITO

control was marvellous, inspiring all with
the deepest respect and admiration.

 The night # slvnd opera will be from every point 1y view the most brilliant in Birminghan1's history.
 Not only will 1t be the occasion of the most representative audience ever as- sembled in the Auditorium, but 1t will bring to Birmingham a large contingent of prominent people from all parts of the State.

 So much has been written of the beauty of the womens gowns as they sit In their boxes at the opera in New York and Lon don that this has become an integral part of grand opera.
 The greatest artists of the world frank ly confess the influence exerted by a well groomed and well dressed audience, and on the first occasion of grand opera in Birmingham the audience should present quite as picturesque and brilliant scene as that which many of us have enjoyed at the French opera in New Orleans or the Grand opera in New York.
