RoosEvELr's CLOSEST CALL.
If Half an Inch Higher He Wouldn't
Have Been President,

While the secretaries were busy with
their work in their rooms at the Oys-
ter Bay Bank building, in the base.
ment below them, where pool, billiards
and ping-pong can be played, sat two
citizens Of Oyster Bay.
One of them, speaking of Teddy"
remarked that it was no fault of his
that he is President.
Why" said he, "Teddy's tried to
get killed more times than enough, but
the time the United States came
close to losing Roosevelt for a presi-
dent was when he was governor. He
came down here for a vacation, and
he was out enjoying himself on his
farm. Young Teddy was with his,
and he said to his dad:
"'Say. papa, could you climb that
windmill
Certainly" said Teddy, never
thinking that the kid might try it
when he was away, and up he went.
When he was up near the top he
never stopped to think that the heavy
steel blades were whizzing above him
until one of them caught him on the
top of the head. If he'd been a half
inch higher out there wouldn't have
been no President Roosevelt. He would
have lost his brains.
1.-The big blade cut four inches
through his scalp. He was stunned
and came nigh falling, but he hung
on with the blood pouring down his
face, and then he came down. 1t was
a good lesson for young Teddy when he
saw his father covered with blood. and
he hain't yet climbed the windmill.
Archie may try it some day, for he
never saw his father like Teddy did,
