WASHINGTON. Aug. SIN eonnec-
ton with the playground movement ia

today made public the following let
ter written by President Roosevelt tc
the Boys and Girls OF Washington"
Through DR.. Curtis 1 have learned
that many OF you are taking an active
part in various athletic contests and
athletic events in your city. / am glad
10 see this l believe in work and 1 dc
not believe in sacrificing work TO play;
but 1 most emphatieaIly believe also
in play. A boy or girl who has a
healthy body will be all the better ft
Tor serious work, and IL the health
comes through vigorous sports pursued
in an honorable. straightforward man
ner, not only the mind but the char
acter is benefited.
To the boys 1 wish to say a special
word l emphatically believe in man
liness. in courage. in physical advant-
ages, but 1 believe quite as much in
good comradeship and in a spiriteof fair
play. l hope that wherever you enter
a contest you will do all that is in you
10 win and yet that you will remember
that it is far better 10 fail than to win By
any unfairness, by any underhand trick
cry. Keep in mind that il is only by
persistent effort in the face OF dis
couragement that any of US ever do
anything that Is really worth while do
ing The fellow who gives up when
he is only beaten is made OF mighty
poor stuff, and if he thus gives up as
soon as he is beaten in a sport he does
not stand much chance OF success in
the serious conflicts Of after life. The
true spirit. the spirit which wins vic
tories in after life is the spirit which
fights hard to succeed. but which takes
defeat with good nature and with the
resolute determination to try again. 1t
is good beginning for this serious
work of after life if on the Fairgrounds
you learn how to cooperate with your
fellows and TO do your best to win,
while at the same time treating your
opponents with fairness and courtesy"

the neck of the donkey. The strange
adventure took place far out in the
desert.
Nearly dying of thirst WoilIard, who
was engaged in prospecting. came
across an abandoned well more than
200 feet in depth. While peering over
the edge in search of water he lost
his balance and fell.
On account of the burro straying
away at night Woillard had taken the
precaution to tie the rope about his
body. AS he fell he thought the burro
would follow him, but, the faithful beast
stood firm and the physician was able
to climb to the surface by holding to
the rope and digging his feet into the
sides of the shaft His back and arms
were badly wrepched by the fall.
