ROOSEVELT AND THE RAT
KILLER

1t wasn't often that anyone sue
cecdcd in dcceiving President Roose-
welt, least OF all Mature Faker"
but one man, William Athcrton Du-
Puv. did and he tells about an Incl
dent in Roosevelt and the Rat
Killer" an interesting article in
Hearst's Magazine for December.
DuPuv was newspaper reporter in
Washington at the time and seized a
chance to inspect the White House
by inlpcrsonating the brother Of a rat
killer who was on his way to the
White House with four ratterriers
and three boxes of English ferrets in
an effort to rid the Executive Man
sion Of the rodents.
TO the reporters dismay, Roose-
welt appeared on the scene while
Barclay, the rat expert, was busy
elsewhere, and began asking the
trembling DuPuv all sorts of en-
barrassing questions regarding the
life, business methods and social,
moral and domestic habits of English
fclTcts.
Poor DuPuv worked his wits over
time thinking up plausible answers
to the great naturaliSt's questions,
but when Teddy finally asked him
how he recalled the ferrcts from the
chase he WAS at loss for an answer
and it was only the opportune re-
turn Of Barclay at this moment that
saved him from discovery as an i'm
poster.

the principles Of hygiene, right eating
and right living. There is no mystery
about these things today, and their

health, happiness and longevity.
The cause OF most modern disease
lies in the carelessness of the individ-

that he figures that Roosevelt coun-

Another proposition that he says
looks good for this part of the country
is the fact that lands and leases have
become so high in the Texas fields
