Washington. June 15.-It was just
about a year ago that Theodore
Roosevelt came back from the famous
hunt OF wild beasts in Africa and
plunged into politics heels over Sead,
establishing his personality as the
paramount issue over all Had he
done as did all of his predecessors
who survived a tenure in the white
house. there is little doubt now that
Theodore Roosevelt would be the one
man now seriously considered for the
republican nomination for president
in 1912. In one aspect it is unfor-
Wnate. in that the American people
ought to decide the matter of a third
term in a national election.
But Col. Roosevelt is not consider
ed for 1912. He has come to his level
and is ranked as an ag!tator and not
as a reformer. At one time he enjoyed
more personal popularity than any
other in all profane history. ! mean

HORSES INCINEGATED
IN A CAR RUNNING
UNDER FULL SPEED
Brakeman Uncouples Rolling
Ball of Fire, but Dumb
Brutes Perish.

Mitchell, S. D.. March ga queer
Incident happened to a Milwaukee
freight train last night when it reached
a distance foul miles south of this
city.
One of the freight cars, containing
-four head of horses. took fire in some
way while the train was under a good
speed, and before the flames were dis
covered the car was covered with.
flames shooting in the air as the train
sped along. The head brakeman dis
covered the fire and stopped the train.
The burning car was finally %uncoupled
from h other cars to prevent their
catching fire. 1t was impossible, how
ever. to do anything in the absence Of
water. to save anything, and the
trainmen were forced to stand by and
watch the car and horses burn.
A wrecking crew was sent out from
this city to clear the track. and the
oncomiag midnight passenger was de-
layed over two hours before the track
could be cleared. The horses were be-
ing shipped from a point in the western
part of the state to Sioux City. They
were moi of a valuable character.

Slow the cadence that you know
Puff your cheeks and shrink your SIDES.

Scuds along a windy way,
Till the witfered leaves that cling
LOosen hold and take to wing
Winds Of March, through mystic ways
Blow us back the sUmlner days.
Come by east or come by west,
Drop upon us; blow your best:
Smite US on the cheek and brow
Till against your strength we bow;
Catch US. hold us; shake US, too.
Till we know the might of you.
Send the crumpled, withered leaves
Dancing high above the caves
Winds Of March. out of the haze
Blow us back the summer days.
Come by south or come by north
AS a t%rurnpeter comes forth;
Send your trumpet call along
In u thrilling, vibrant song
Till the hills shout back your call
And the forests echo all
The mild melody you make,
And the sturdy house walls shake
Winds OF March, with rugged rhyme
Blow us back the sumnler time.
Blow us tang Of salt sea spume
Blow us scent Of apple bloom.
Blow US all the April mirth
OF the smell of waking earth:
In the mad song lat o fling
In our faces; n the Groom
or the long, long August moon.
Winds of March, down mystic ways
Blow us back the summer days.
