When the president was on a hunt

for some days near the ranch owned
by Mr.. Jayne and was an occasional
visitor on the property. The first time
Mr. Roosevelt came to the house there

but as he came up he said In his
characteristic hearty manner:
A jolly for the Old Soldier.
Il might have known an old sol

have arranged such a patriotic dem

When the two men were introduced
the president noticed that Mr.. Jayne
extended his left hand.
What Is the matter with your right
ARM" he asked.
The old soldier replied that 1t was
shattered by bullet at the battle Of
Shiloh, that the elbow was stiff.

next query, and then How much2"
