THE ROUGH RIDER
and THE COLONEL,
Mr., Roosevelt APPLY Answered
by a P|ainsman.

A couple of years ago when Colonel
Roosevelt was making a trip through
the west each town he passed through
made some demonstration in honor Of
the event. The citizens Of n town
where the train schedule compelled the
colonel to remain eight or nine hours
decided to make a holiday of it when
Mr.. Roosevelt arrived. They arranged
a series of speeches, horse races, rope
throwing and broncho busting. The
best talent of the countryside was on
hand and each contributed his share Of
the entertainment.
One of the cowboys was mounted on
an especially Ill tempered beast. lie
caught the colonel's fancy on account
of his daring and ability. After doing
his stunt he was introduced to the
former chief executive, who compli:
mented him on his craftsmanship and
inquired, do You ride all the time"
Every one within hearing roared
when the plainsman replied, mo; ]
stop for meals."-Denver Republican.
