THE PRESIDENT
WENT TO CHURCH
Hunting Party Attended Ser
vices at a Mountain School
House
BUILOING TOO SMALL FOR CROWD

Glenwood Springs, Colo, May L.
Unique in the history Of Colorado was
the church service held at the Old
Blue schoolhouse on West Divide
creek, attended by President Roose-
welt and his hunting party and all the
ranchmen and their families for miles
around. The little district school build
ing was not a tenth part large enough
to accommodate the congregation, and
as a result the organ was moved TO
the front porch. On this porch seats
were provided for the president and
his party, Rev Horace Mann. of Rifle,
Colo; the choir and the trustees of
the church The members of the con-
gregation stood or sat on the ground
Of the school yard or in their convey
ances. which were grouped around the
building. The sermon by Rev. Mann
was Of an unusually interesting kind
Il began with a story. teeming with
slang OF the western flavor and was
full of advice suited to a congregation
inuring itself 10 the hardshop of noun
tain life 1t touched on the RESPONSE
bilities Of the position Of president, as
well as the characteristics Of some OF
the men who have occupied that ex-
alted place
After he had concluded the president
spoke for 10 minutes He expressed
his well-known views on good citizen
ship, the morality OF man and patriot
ism and duty TO home and country. He
was cheered heartily throughout his
remarks. After the services were con
cmded the president shook hands with
every man, woman and child present
Mr. Roosevelt was dressed in tho
same clothes he wore when he left his
private car at Newcastle two weeks
ago. His hat was what is known as
the "slouch." He wore Il pulled over
his eyes and badly out of shape. His
jacket was sheep-lined duck. His trou-
sers Of duck, tied about his ankles with
strong cord His shirt was blue cot
ton. He had discarded his chaparejos.
as concession toward the proper
church-going raiment The clothes Of
DR.. Alexander Lambert, of New York,
and of the guides we're even rougher.
No mountain band of road agents ever
looked more formidable. The western
air Of the party went straight to the
hearts of the people. They applauded
and yelled boisterous praise OF the
president, regardless Of the day and the
fact that they were virtually in house
of worship, though the ceiling was the
blue sky, the floors of grass and dead
leaves and the walls were mountains.
It was at the conclusion Of the pres
idents remarks, when he leaned for
ward and beamed a welcome that took
in every one OF the congregation, that
the president looked his best He was
the picture Of rugged health as he said:
And now I want to shake hands with
all Of you. There are a good many of
you, so don't stampede, or get to MILL
ing AS the president made use Of
the cattle terms, applause was terrific.

a STORY OF TWO PAINTERS
Did Vandyke and Halls Really Paint
Each Others Portrait?

There is a story related by Hou-
braken which may or may not be
true that Nandyke, passing through
HARLEM, where Halls lived, sent a
messenger to seek him out and
tell him that a stranger wished to
see him and on Halls putting in an
appearance asked him to paint his
portrait, adding, however, that he
had only two hours to spare for the
sitting. Halls finished the portrait
in that time, whereupon his sitter,
observing that it seemed an easy
matter to paint a portrait, requested
that he be allowed to try to paint
the artist. Halls soon recognized
that his visitor was well skilled in
the materials he was using. Great,
however, was his surprise when he
beheld the performance. He i'm
mediately embraced the stranger, at
the same time crying out: "You are
Vandykel No one but he could do
what you have just now donew
Assuming the story to be true.
how interesting it would be if the
two portraits existed, that one
might see what Frans Halls, accus-
toned TO the heavier type Of the
Dutch burghers, made of the del
icately refined features Of Vandykt
and how the latter, who always gave
an air of aristocratic elegance to hi:
portraits, acquitted himself with the
bluff, iovial Halls, who was as much
at home in a tavern as in a studio
For no two men could be more diff
ferent, both in their points Of view
and in their methods, though they
were alike in this one particular
that each was a most facile and skill

Dyine Thoughts Of ! Cowboy.

One day a party of townspeople
were camping in the hills beside a
raging river till it should be safe to
cross. They saw a rough man strug-
Cling midstream with very small
chance of ever reaching shore. Ii
was an exhausting time even for
those who helplessly looked on.
When the man at last saved himself
and had been ministered unto, the
psychologist Of the party asked,
"What we're you thinking Of while
you were in such danger ~
q thought" said the honest cow
boy, "that / had 500 to my credit
and did not want to die with all
that money unspent." "
Whereupon he forsook his job
gathered he little fortune, made foi
town and blew it all in ere thirty
six hours were past.-Boston Tran
