here from Rushville, Indiana. a few
years ago and has been employed by

have persuaded her to leave Baldwin,

comparatively young, has borne most
excellent reputation.

ROOSEVELT AS A PREACHER.

The Richmond Times Democrat
is of the decided opinion tina t Mr..
Roosevelt should take the ministry
when he retires from the presidency
of the United States. The Times
Dispatch Is entirely serious in the
matter and says:
"He is one of the greatest
preachers that the world has ever
KNOWN" says the paper, "and he
loves to preach. Never does he
make a political speech or an
educational address or deliver
ance of any sort; never does he
write a public document, that he
does not preach, and he breaches
good doctrine. His last message
to congress was a great sermon,
and a timely sermon, net with
standing that some folks were dis
posed to ridicule it.
Mr.. Roosevelt is an intensely re-
ligious man, and his sermons have
the force of conviction.
''If ever a man was called to
preach the gospel we believe that
this man is Theodore Roosevelt,
and if he should devote the closing
DAYS of his life to that noble call
ing he would possibly bring about
a great religious revival through
out the United States, for no 'pent
up Utica could contain Preacher
Roosevelt. He would be the pastor
Hof some church, but his sermons
would be published in the news
papers of the land and they would
be power for righteousness.
Possibly he would found religious
denomination to suit his own
peculiar views, for he is free
lance by nature.
''But in any event he would be
powerful foe to the powers of
darkpess and would give them
the fight for their lives"
