The Letter

Having scrutinized the sheet of note
paper carefully the young man laid it
down tenderly He dipped his pen in
the ink and tried it on a scrap of pa
per before he spread his feet apart
and hunched over the desk to write,
He began
"Mr Alwell w Adkins, New York
City, Dear Sir-f wish to bring to your
attention a matter which while con-
corning both of US yet pertains more
closely to affairs connected with my.
self and yet also is perhaps more i'm
portant to you judging from the
standpoint you naturally might have,
taking into consideration all the facts
that"
The young man suddenly crumpled
he sheet and cast it from him, then
picked it up again to smooth it out
and glare at it.

R. REALLY
insane?
HENRY WATTERSON THINKS SO
But World Says He Is Re.
SpOnSiblG
(New York WorId.)

We cannot agree with Col. Waiter
son that Theodore Roosevelt is insane
that the man is a maniac" who
knows not clearly what he says or
does"
Mr.. Roosevelt is just as sane as a
prairie wolf in pursuit of a jack rab-
bit.
He is just as sane as a hawk swoop-
ing down upon flock of chickens.
He is just as sane as a fox stalking
a quail.
He is just as sane as a swordfish in
a school of mackerel.
He is just as sane as a savage club
bling his way to the goal of his ambi-
ton.
He is just as sane as any unscrup-
ulous demagogue who ever tried to
capitalize public unrest for his own
personal advantage.
When Col. Watterson insists that
Mr.. Roosevelt must be insane he
means merely that Mr.. Roosevelt's
methods are brutal, primitive and bar
barrie. But this is not insanity. His
conduct is not essentially different
from that of any other hoodlum. Ii
he thought he could gain votes by it
he would not hesitate to Slug Taft
over the ropes" literally as well as
figuratively.
Mr.. Roosevelt is not like other
Americans who have held the office OF
President. He respects only the power
of the office, not it's dignity, tradition:
| and responsibilities. He liked the ior
| and is determined to regain it, There
is only one way to regain it, which is
to convince majority of the American
people that he alone is honest, faith
full and devoted to their welfare.
Mr. Roosevelt set about this worl
with great cunning and energy. If 4
candidates ambition had smothereC
all sense of decency and yair play
and honor and manhood he could moi
proceed more shrewdly than MI
Roosevelt has done. Mr. Roosevelt'e
method might be called the ideal meth.
cd of the man who does not care how
he gets an Office so long as he gets it
This is not insanity. If it is, ther

ciously, got out another sheet, slammed
it down, jabbed his pen into the ink
and with his damp hair plastering his
brow wrote:

1.-THE loss that it would be to you IL
what l am going to say should incline
you to look favorably upon the propo-
sition that | feel it is time for me to
bring to your attention, still, on the
other hand"
The young man looked fixedly at O.
figure in the wall paper. Leading
back, he examined the end of the pen,
frowning at it. He hummed a little
tune. Slowly his eyes wandered back
to the paper before him and he shook
his fist at it.
"Confound you," he muttered in
tones of concentrated rage. ION the
other hand'-what is on the other
hand, anyway? Not a blamed thing!
I've forgotten what l had in mind
when l started out-and l started out
briefly, too! The inside of my head
feels like patent churn with hash

set that to music If you were cleVer!"
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1912-05-03

Selecting another sheet of paper he
wrote down the same address and
started in again:
mo doubt you will be surprised at a
letter from me on this subject, though
on second thought the fact that you
are not acquainted with me should
have nothing to do with it, inasmuch
as you have doubtless considered the
possibility of circumstances bringing
about situation which. while not ex-
actly similar to the one that at pres
ent engages your attention, still"
The young man paused, bit his pen,
got up and walked around the room,
came back and read over what he had
written and then sat down dejectedly.
ooh, that won't do" he groaned at
simply won't do at all! l know pre-
cisely what am trying to say and it's
doggone queer l can't make 1t come

Beginning a third time he wrote:
"My Dear Mr.. Adkins suppose It
would be we'll to tell you something
about myself, because it is in the ma
ture of things that you should wish to
know more-in fact, all-about a per-
son who intrudes himself into the

mournfully as he slowly tore the pa
per in two and added it to the heap In
the waste basket.
Then he went and got a drink Of
water, looked out of the window and
opened a book before he once more
settled himself at the writing desk.
He began slowly, determinedly:
