DENVER POST is
OUT FOR ROOSEVELT
Courage Of Progressive Leader in
Bearing Wound Swings Oppo-
nents to His Aid.

DENVER, Oct. 20.-The Denver Post,
the strongest anti-Progressive news
paper in this State, has come out for
Theodore Roosevelt. The change in
policy came following tho speech OF
Colonel Roosevelt after he was shot
in Milwaukee.
The Post In its announcement says:
You cannot read the speech Theo-
dore Roosevelt made In Milwaukee aft
or he had been shot without a lump
rising In your throat and a surging OF
blood through your body that leaves
you flushed and angry and proud In Its
sweep OF high emotion.
Think what you like of his policies;
choose whatever leader is best suited
to your temper; but never for a mo-
ment allow yourself to underestimate
the hold on the people Of this country
of the man who could talk as Theodore
Roosevelt talked last night while the
wound of the bullet gnawed at his flesh
and the blood soaked through his
clothes SO that they who listened te
him could see It's stains.
'It may be that Roosevelt will be
placed again In the White House .to
finish the work upon which he has set
his heart. 1t may be that the fugitive
bullet OF this coward OF Milwaukee win
prove more serious than any of us will
allow ourselves to think. What to-
morrow has lurking for the least or
the creates Of us not any Of US car
tell.
But every man who casts his vote
for Roosevelt in November will be do.
Ing thing Of which he may well be
proud to his last day. and leave II a,
q badge and boast Of honor to the chill
dren that shall follow him in life

A Cablegram From Zanzibar--Real Ronnances Of t1

HERFEcTLY at ease with the world H and with no more serious prob x lem than the selection of a breakfast to suit his ardent appetite, young MT. Ridgeway, who had quite a flock of millions and was 2s years old, walked into the University club. He put away his hat and his stick, went to his accustomed table in the dining room, seated himself comfortably and was preparing to take glance at the morn- ing paper when Jenkins, the waiter who served him, came forward and laid his mail on the table.
 Letters did not bother Ridgeway, and he read on. Jenkins waiting patiently for the young man to turn his power full mind to the breakfast question Finding little on the first page to in- terest him, and giving little more at tention to the sporting page, MT. Ridge way sighed. and laid the paper down. Then he scowled. He always did at this stage of the proceedings. Next he made a pretense of studying the break fast card. Then he sighed again and said, Jenkins, bring me some bacon and eggs" MT. Ridgeway never or dered anything but bacon and eggs for breakfast, and Jenkins never varied in his respectful attention to the rich young man in this morning comedy.
 As old Jenkins trotted away Ridge way looked at the mail. There were A few invitations, few bills and then there was something in an odd sort of envelope the like of which he had not seen for some time. Ridgeway tore the envelope open, took out the light blue sheet it contained and read:
 Zanzibar,
 Ridgeway,
 University Club,
 New York.
 Buy Cloves.
 Palmer"
 Mir. Ridgeway had the highest regard for Billy" Palmer and considered him one of the sanest and most earnest of young men, but what on earth Palmer could mean by sending such an idiotic cablegram Ridgeway could not imagine. Buy cloves" Why should Mir Ridge way, multi millionaire, man of leisure, man of fashion and good fellow gen erally. buy cloves? And what would he do with cloves if he bought any? He had chewed on clove now and then after taking drop of whisky, but that about summed up his acquaintanceship with the spice.
 And where the deuce was Zanzibar? Was it in Asia, Africa or Australia? MT. Ridgeway was not quite sure. He never had been particularly strong on geography. In fact, he never would have gone through college had 1t not been for Palmer's help.
 Poor old Palmer. He had worked his way. There had been warm friend ship between the two young men, one very poor, the other very rich and there had been warm friendship. too. later on

peremptory in tone. But he got no an- swer.
 Meanwhile MT Hobart was busy. The gentlemen in London, Antwerp, and New York who were loaded up with cloves marveled at the sudden appearance or buyers for the surplus stock and could not understand what occasioned the de- mand. They sold freely until MT. Hobart had contracts for the delivery of his order of nearly so per cent of the surplus stock Then the price was advanced sharply Still Mr. Hobarts agents were buyers.
 MT. Ridgeway angry at Palmer and an- gry at the cable company, got his state ments from MT. Hobart after MT. AL exander. murmuring about the folly of rich young men, had paid the bills. By the time MT. Hobart closed his last deal more than s7o.ooo had been drawn against MT. Ridgeway's bank balance and all because of Q cablegram reading Buy Gloves"
 MT. Alexander demanded an explana- ton from the cable company as to why no response had come to Mir Ridge ways cablesrams. Two days elapsed be- fore the cable company reported that cable communication with Zanzibar was interrupted This was delightful
 It was three weeks and four days after the receipt of the cablegram that started him on his clove adventure that Mr. Ridgeway, highly excited, ran to the tele- phone in the University club and rang up MT. Alexander's office. No one about the club had seen Ridgeway so stirred before. Then they heard him shout: "Great news. Just got a cablegram. Dated Alden. Where the devil is Alden? Tn Arabia on the Gulf of Alden, you say? Well, I know as much now as I did before. Anyhow so far as I can make out from this disJointed message. Palmer is there.

nothing but the command to buy cloves
 Angry and upset, he went down town and saw AIr. Alexander, the lawyer
 who managed his estate. MT. Alexan-
 der listened with patience while Mr. Ridgeway talked. Lawyers like to get all the facts before venturing an opin- ion, so MT. Alexander had a clerk look
 up the matter of cloves. It was re-
 mark able to MT. Ridgeway, how much
 information MT. Alexander was able to collect within ten minutes.
 From this information Mr. Ridgeway learned that cloves were grown on trees and that Zanzibar furnished the largest
 part of the worlds supply. Cloves were used in medicinal preparations, in confectionery, in perfumes and in connection with various oils and con-
 ailments. The great markets were Lon
 don, Antwerp Havre and New York
 What struck Mr. Ridgeway most was the fact that Zanzibar produced the
 bulk of the worlds supply of cloves. There must be something then in Pal mers cablegram. He came to a sud- den determination. He would buy
 cloves anywhere and everywhere.
 once he had come to this decision he announced it to MT. Alexander. Tho lawyer advised patience. It was ridicu- lous to act on impulse. Mr. Ridgeway. however, was insistent. He had begun To feel that too much time had been
 wasted. He was impatient for action Reluctantly he held himself in check while the lawyer argued. MT. Alexan- der insisted that Mir. Ridgeway must
 be fully informed, before engaging in
 what seemed to be a ridiculous under
 taking There was no good in haste So he made inquiries as to the men engaged in the spice trade. Within an hour MT. Hobart, an importer and

broker with European connections, was at Mir. Alexanders office MT. Hobart knew anything about cloves. The mar ket was oyerstocked. he said, and tho new crop was immense Prices were unusually low. There was every pros- pect that prices would go considerably lower. - The surplus stock of cloves was stored in New York, London and Antwerp.
 Could the surplus be purchased? MT. Riogeway wanted to know.
 Mr Hobart smiled as he assured him that it could. Would Mir. Hobart buy it if MT. Ridgeway furnished the money? Yes. he would but it appeared to him to be very unwise proceeding even though the commission meant q neat profit to him.
 Mr. RidgeWay thanked Mr Hobart and MT. Alexander for their advice. He ac- knowedged he was doing something eX- tremely foolish, but he was bent on doing it, and was able to foot the bill without inconvenience. So he arranged the mon etary preliminaries with MT. Alexander, charged MT. Hobart with acting speedily and with secrecy, and. relieved in feeling, bade the gentleman good day.
 MT. Alexander had pointed out one thing that had escaped Mr. Ridgeway. That was the ease with which MT. Ridge way could have solved the riddle by cabling to Palmer for an explanation of his message. Mr. Alexander desired that Ridgeway do nothing until an answer should be received, but Ridgeway, with the obstinacy of a man who has blum dered, insisted that Hobart execute the order-wthout waiting further advices.
 After leaving the lawyer, however, Ridgeway did send cablegram. He sent another three days later inquiring why Palmer had not responded to the other and then he sent third one somewhat
