of each other and have renamed last
friends ever since.
When Bill piloted Roosevelt to the
killing of his first deer, Roosevelt pre-
sented him with rife that remains 10
this day a priced possession OF the
Sewall family, and in years after that,
from wherever he might be, Roosevelt
wrote friendly letters to the Aroostook
euide and sent to him many ana Varl-
Gus gifts.
So when the president reached Maine
on his New England tour about his nrst
inquiry was:
"Where is Bill Sewall?
II had been arranged that Sewall
should meet Mr.. Roosevelt at Bangor
Reluctant to push himself in among tne
crowd of prominent politicians ana dlg
nitaries which surrounded the nation
chief executive, Sewall was rather
slow in making his appearance when
the presidential party reached Bangor,
where only a short stop was to be
made. Impatient to meet his erstwhile
hunting companion, the president shout
ed out in the course of his speech from
the balcony of the Bangor House to the
assembled crowd:

there sees Bin Sewall, just tell him
want him in here. If he's in town, l
want him to take luncheon with me. l

The old guide and hunter, VINO nau
been lingering modestly in the out
skirts of the crowd, was quickly found
and brought in and warmly greeted by
President Roosevelt.
"Bill," said the president, I'm glad
we've met again"
"You hain't no gladden. l be-" an
swered Bill, whose blue eyes beamed
with joy.
Just before the presidential party
left Maine Mr.. Roosevelt said to Sew
all:
"Bill, I'm going to have you and
Mrs. Sewall visit me in the White
House some time soon. I'll let you
know when, and you be sure to come"
Thus it is that Mr.. and Mrs. William
Wingate Sewail will spend a few days
at the executive mansion in Washing
ton, and no guests. however distin-
guished, could be treated with more
genuine hospitality than they will re
ceive.
