ROOSEVELT AIDS CHURCH FAIR.
Sends Photograph and Letter on Small I'm
%pOFfance OF Party Politics.

DEwEEsE, Neb., June Pit is of mighty
small importance whether we are Repub-
leans or Democrats, but it is Of very real
importance hat we should be good Ameri-
cans n do our duty in straight and decent
fashion, writes President Roosevelt in a
letter to Mrs. James Newoomb OF this place.
A little church near Deweese is prepar-
ing a bazaar to raise money to pay the
church debt. Mrs. Newoomb wrote to Mrs.
Roosevelt asking her to send a handkerchief
which could be sold at the bazaar. In the
letter Mrs. Newcomb stated that both she
and her husband were Democrats.
Some days 6 the following letter waa
received:
THE WHITE House, WASHINGTON.
my DEAR MRS. NEwcoMB: Your letter
to Mrs. Roosevelt interested both her and
me so much that I write you just a line
myself.
Il am sending you a photograph and l
wish you all success in building the little
church. What an interesting life you have
had and how fortunate. we Americans are
to nave a chance to lead such lives, and, my
dear Mrs. Newcomb, it is Of mighty small
importance whether we are Republicans
or Democrats, but it is Of very real impor-
lance that we should be good Americans
and do our duty in straight and decent
fashion. Sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT

leaving inquisitive Boston in a state OF
uncertainty as to whether or not she Is

BY curious coincidence Capt. Graham, her
reported fiance, left his hotel, saying that
he was going to the country to stay until
Monday.
Miss Barrymore refused TO either deny
or confirm the rumor that she was to be
married to the British officer. She said:
Il refuse to discuss the matter. 1t Is my
private affair and see no reason for saying
anything about it."
All the actress would say concerning her
engagement was: AN the stuff that has
been printed about my marrying Capt
Graham and my relations with him are a
pack OF lies"
Mrs. j. c.. Fairchild. a close friend Of the
actress, said to-day: Miss Barrymore and
Capt. Graham were engaged - be married
