Roosevelt was shot in the breast
by an assassin as he entered an au-
tomobile in the front of the Hotel
Gilpatrick to start for the audi
torium, where he was to speak
Monday night. He insisted on
going to the hall, there quieted
the crowd that heard that he had
been shot spoke from 500 until

The bullet struck a roll of

in the pockets of the prisoner il
is evident he is demented on
the subject of Colonel Roosevelt

The man, who is small OF
stature, admitted firing the shot
and said that "any man looking
for a third term ought to be
shot.
The colonel felt no pain at the
time the shot was fired and was
not aware he was shot until he
was on his way to the audi
torium. His attention was then
called to a hole in his overcoat
and he found his shirt was soak
ed in blood. He insisted he was
not badly hurt. A superficial
examination was made when ht
reached the auditorium and three
physicians agreed he was in nj
Immediate danger.
The crowd was thrown almos
into a panic by the announce
ment, but Colonel Roosevelt
himself calmed the people b.
rising and assuring them he wa
not badly hurt. Then he begal
his speech. Several, times h

Pruning and training are important
requisites In the successful manage
ment Of q pear orchard. The objects

cal. evenly balanced heads; ca the
admission Of sunlight and free cir.
culation Of air into ell parts of the
tree tops: and (3) the maintenance Of
sufficient foliage to protect the trunks
and branches from the intense heat Of
the suns rays, which would otherwise
be likely to scald and injure both tree
and fruit.
Pruning should begin az soon a. the
trees have been planted by cutting
back the young tree at the time of
planting TO the height from the ground
1t Is proposed to start the branches to
form the head of the tree, which
should not be over IL to Is inches, as
shown in figure 8. This cutting back
will cause several Of the upper buds
to break and grow, thus starting the
top or head at the proper height The
starting branches should be watched
and only such left to grow as are to
form the main branches. The
strongest shoots should be left at
equal distances apart around the stem
and should tend obliquely outward SO
az to spread and make an open head.
The second year these shoots should
be shortened back to the extent OF
about half Of the growth. as shown
In figure Z. The same plan should
be continued the third and fourth
years.
In all pruning. to give tho desired
form to the head and especially while
the tree Is young. the orchardist
should keep clearly fixed In his mind
the form Of the tree as It Is to be
whom old: for what may seem to be an
open head when the tree is young may
prove to be too dense and crowded
when the tree is older. The branches
should not be too close together for
convenience In gathering the fruit.
During late winter or In early
spring before the sap starts. each
tree should be carefully looked over
