THEODORE'S RIDE.
with apologies to LOnGisllOw and Paul Rsvers)

Listen my children, and you shall roar
At the all-day ride of Theodore,
On the thirteenth of January. nineteen nine:
He didn't wait till the weather was fine,
But on through the sleet and snow he tore
He said to three men: If you ride with me,
By road and river DER hill and dale
Well let the army and navy
That only Molycodde would fail o
To stand the simple physical test
That impose for promotions sakel
So pull on your boots and button your vest,
Come! Gomez You're just about half awaken !
They mounted steeds and they broke away
Gaoping on to Vireinia's shore
Just as the first faint streak of day
Liehtened the awful tempests roar.
There was Surgeon General Rixey he
Is mighty man in navee;
And Doctor Grayson and Doctor Butt,
They rode cos they wanted to ridel Tut! Tut
1t was wet when they started cut but, say,
1t was wetter still in little while,
d And they all forgot the pretty way
That the riding school taught them to ride in style
It rained, it hailed, it blew it showed
Then it showed and blew and hailed and rained!
= Had you heard the wicked words that flowed: 81
From their lips my children you would have been pained
4 1t was afternoon when they stopped at last.
In the little inn at Warren Green, >,~ &C.,
Where the starving riders broke their fast,
- While Theodore broke into speech twould seem
i That the breath of the tempest didn't compare
A. With the brain of Theodore making wheeze
p. To the Warrenton people, asserting there,
my people, my power and my poicesT
1t was haIfpast eight by the Senate clock
When the quartet rode into Washington.
None of them boasted nice dry sock
At the end of that strenuous ninety-mile run;
Chilled to the marrow but still erect,
They ealloped past the Capitol dome
And each hads good hot drink, expect,
When at last he aighted, safe at home.
So through day rode Theodore
And so through that day in wild alarm.
The folk in every village and farm
Say that he didn't ride he tore
And that word shall echo forevermore
For borne on the night wind of the past
Through all our history down to the last
The wise Gazabo when he shall hear
Of that reckless ride through the tempest vast,
Shall say What good it did, isn't clear!'
And he'll hug his fireplace all the more
For the reckless sallop of Theodore
Republic.

IS ALREADY DEAD.
Plea of Albert L. Patrick in Asking for
Freedom.

New York, Nov. 29.-Albert T. Pat
rick, whose sentence of death for the
murder of William Marsh Rice was
committed to life imprisonment at SinG
Sing. appeared today before the appel
late division of the supreme court in
Brooklyn to argue that within the law,
he has already suffered death and thus
has paid his debt to the state in full
and should be set free.
Patrick contends that the solitary
confinement preceding electrocution has
been held by the United States supreme
court to be part of the penalty decreed
in a death sentence He served that
time in full and now makes the point
that when the court of appeals reaf-
firrned the decision of the court of con-
viction and set new date for execu-
ton, it transgressed his constitutional
right in ordering him to serve another
period of solitary confinement, thereby
duplicating a punishment he had al
ready suffered.
The failure of the warden to electro
cute, in compliance with the first order
of the court, argues Patrick, constitutes
an act of nonfeasance.

LAW KILLED HIM.
A Cousin of Prince Won BuelOw
Commits Suicide
When Public Learns That His
Wife Is Part Negro.
STATUTE is INVOKED.
Enemies Start a Suit Against
the Couple.
After Having Beaten Him Out
of His Fortune.
STATUTE is INVOKED.

New Orleans, Nov. 29.-The suicide
of Edward W. Won Buelow, q cousin of
Prince Won BueloW formerly Chancel-
Tor of Germany. has stirred up public
sentiment against the law prohihitir g a
white person from marrying another
having trace of negro blood, no mat
ter how faint it may be. That law kill
co Won Buelow. He drowned himself
rather than stand trial for having vio-
lated it. His wife. as white skinned
as any belle in this city, has trace
OF negro blood.
Business enemies of Won Buelow found
cut that Mrs. Won BueloW had negro
blood, and in revenge for a coup he
played upon them in the cotton market
they first ruined him financially, then
exposed his wife's secret. though it was
10 secret to him.
Mrs. Won Buelow is a beautiful and
cultured woman, is of a splendid line
on her fathers side. Her father was
a judge. He educated and provided for
her while he lived and loved her as
much. if not more, than the children
whom he openly recognized Won Bue-
low gave up life of luxury and rank
in Germany 20 years ago when he was
about % years old. and came to Amer
lea. He Joined the navy and after win
ming his way TO commission, resigned
and settle in this city in 1902. He was
in constant communication with Prince
Won Buelow. his cousin He was ac
cepted in good society here. He engag-
ed in the cotton business and made a
comfortable fortune. Then he married.
The girl told him about her
parentage when he asked her to be
his wife. She said it was impossible
for them to marry. and that if her
friends knew of the trace of negro
blood in her veins they would never
speak to her again. Won Buelow re-
piled that he did not care about her
parentage. He cared about her and
he persuaded her that no one need
ever know their secret.
A few months ago Won Buelow in
Cured the i'll will of certain group
of cotton spectators. They led him
into speculative trap in which he
lost everything he had-hiS home and
about 100000. Then in some man
ner they learned of his wifes mulatto
mother and they had him arrested.
Won Buelow's friends went to his aid
and gave bail for him and promised
to stand by him in his troubles, but he
was heart-broken. His wife was
"cut," as she had predicted. His
children were Knocked. He couldn't
stand it more than one day. He dis
appeared. Officers going to his home
to serve a warrant upon his wife found
him missing. rf
you will neveresee him again." she
told them Neither will 1. He's
gone. Laws have killed him.
A few days later Won Buelow's body
was found in the Mississippi. His
widow still must stand trial. She
probably will be acquitted, however,
for public sentiment is in her favor.
