The reported death of Lieut.. Quentin
xRoosevelt is especially distressing to
Past Grand Monarch Edward s.
sschmid. Quentin and Archie Roose-
yelt made almost daily visits to his
net emporium during their residence
in Washington and took a great in
terest in the pets and animals. In
Saddition to the stories that have been
fpubIished regarding the friendship OF
spuentin and the past grand monarch
might be mentioned the efforts Of
Quentin to supply an artificial leg for
a. bantam chicken. 1t is said that
s1edy brought a bantam chicken 70
DIR. Schmid to be doctored. The chick
en- had been run over by a wagon
and had one leg cut of above the
middle joint Quentin took a partic-
ular interest in the case and with mis-
knife whitfield an artificial leg from
a piece Of wood. He worked on 1t for
Several days and skilfully turned out
a leg that any chicken might be proud
of. Then came the problem of fasten-
ing the leg to the stump. He deity
attached leather straps and the
chicken hoped about with apparent
gratiheation. 1t then developed that
as there was no joint in the leg loco
motion was difficult and awkward.
Not to be defeated in his desire to
make the chicken comfortable. the leg
was taken OF and a hinge added. AL
though the chicken hobbled rather
awkwardly Mr.. Schmid says q man
aged to get about fairly well and
Quentin was proud of the job.
He exhibits with much pride a hand
some cane which Quentin and Archie
presented to him before their depar-
ture from the White House. The cana
Is made from a rare South American
wood and Is handsomely carved with
snakes. frogs, flowers and scrolls. The
