Roosevelt in Heaven-Only a Story.
He mentioned a notable exception
the man who had some time ago re-
turned home as a great hunter, be-
cause the lions in Africa had failed to
do their duty He told story which
had been told of this man. 1t was said
that T. R. went to heaven. He met
St. Peter at the gate.

should hold before us, he said, if we
would hasten the day when South
Carolina shall step forth among her
sister commonwealths, a queen in
deed, with the stars of morning for
her diadem, and the golden light of
day for her sceptre.
