The Churcn had run behind fl

it was good for them to be here.

A DREAM FAKIR."

Colonel Bacon Says Roosevelt Is a
Jekyu-Hyde Visionary.
NEW YORK, Feb. II. - President
Roosevelt is a dual genius of the DR..
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde sort-a dream
fakir"-says Colonel Alexander S. Ba-
con Of this city in letter OF sympathy
to the Rev. William J. Long OF STAN
ford, Conn, the naturalist, whom Mr.
Roosevelt denounced as a nature
fakir.r
'You take the president too serious
iy," says Colonel Bacon. "He is not
half black as he paints himself. Ma
ture fakir,' 'mollycoddIe' and liar are
merely the phrases of a barker allur-
ing the public into an Elusive side
show. They are not serious. II you
would study wild animals in their ma
live woods less and study press agents
more, you would understand freaks
better.
"Above all, the president does abhor
soldier fakir.' but his adherence
goes no further than words. A bark
ing dog never bites. The president
barks at the wicked trusts. but you
viii notice that none of them die Of
hydrophobia"
Colonel Bacon quotes from his
"Woolly Horse" TO show that, as he
claims. Colonel Roosevelt did not see,
much less Kill, Spaniard at the bat
tie OF San Juan Hill on July 1, 1898,
and was never within bullet shot OF
the enemy.
