There are various ways OF awaken
ing guests in hotels. In the larger
cities the custom is to use the tele-
phone. Last week in a hotel in New
England we discovered a new method.
The hotel is equipped with an elabor-
?te sprinkle system as a fire measure.
We had been rehearsing with our we'll
known opery troop until a. m. and
had retired to get little rest and had
fallen asleep. We were awakened by
a downpour of water which hit us full
in the face. One of the sprinklerc was
located directly above the bed. After
swimming out of tho room and finding
tho elevator, the elevator boy told us
there was no danger. There was a
fire Ave blocks down the street, and 1t
is the custom to turn on the sprinklers
in the hotel in such case to be on
the safe side.
The ex.kaiser says he has friends
in America still. Yes, but htey are not
leading any orchestra.
King George says: 1.-The American
people speak the tongue of Shakes
peare and Milton" The king evident
ly has never strolled through New
York's lower east side.
1t Is to be hoped that Europe learns
to feed itself soon and give America
a rest. but Europe will be no hurry
to be weaned.
Jess Mittelmann, who says he has
contributed to Don Marquis's column
many times, vents to get the following
bit of verse into this Pillar of Proprie-
ty. and just to show that we don't
care anything about Don Marquis or
his column or what any body thinks
about us. we publish it:
I'hate to be kicker
1t does not stand for peace
But the wheel that does the squeaking
Is the one that gets the grease.

At the GraUe of Theodore Roosevelt
A Kansas Man Visits the New Shrine.

On Labor Day my brother and I
boarded a Long Island train at the
Pennsylvania Station, in New York,
bound for Oyster Bay. The trip in
cludes swift ride thru the tube under
the Island of Manhattan and under
the East river to Long Island.
The north shore of Long Island is
one of the real beauty spots of the
east. While the south shore of the
island is level and sandy the north
shore is vista of wooded hills and
shady valleys with clear running
brooks stealing down thru the ferns
and rank grasses
The end of this branch of the Long
Island railroad is Oyster Bay-a wide
crescent of quiet waters facing Long
Island Sound. About midway of the
bay the small country village of that
name nestles among fine old forest
trees.
+ Three miles to the east, on a high
bluff facing both the bay and the
sound is the Roosevelt estate of Saga
more Hill.
On learning that the grave of Theo-
dore Roosevelt was a mile and a half
from the village, we decided to walk
there and trust to a jitney to bring US
back Just out of the business part of
the village we came to a modest Epis-
copal church. There was the usual sign
in the church yard inviting the passer-
by to stop and rest and pray Know
ing that this was the church where
the Roosevelt funeral service was read
we stopped and looked around. A
clergyman came out of the adjoining
rectory and greeted US cordially. Mu-
tual introductions followed and we
learned that we were speaking to the
good Doctor Talmage. who had read
the service and followed his old par
ishioner to his grave. During the con-
Versation, Doctor Talmage remarked
to my brother. 'I notice you are a key
man." referring to the Phi Beta
Kappa emblem that they both wore.
1t then became known that they be-
longed to the same Greek letter fra
ternity in widely separated colleges.
This knowledge called for renewed
handclasps and the "reminiscences that
college men love.
He Walked to Church.
We went together into the dark
ened church-to the Roosevelt pew
and the parson told US how in nice
weather the Colonel always walked
the three miles to church, allowing
forty minutes time as he adjusted his
stride to his good wife's step. On ac-
count of his poor sight he had a
Prayer Book and Hymnal of the larg-
est type and his singing and hearty
responses in the service were typical
of the man.
The parson excused himself for
moment only to appear from the rear
of the church driving his car We
were invited to climb in for a ride to
the Roosevelt grave. So we honked
away up a hard surfaced country
road where, great forest trees often
met overhead, meeting or passing
many cars all bent on the same err
rand.
Plain Simple Burial Place.

deep in dust, the grass worn away by
countless feet that have borne bare
headed and sad human beings from
all countries and all climes, who have
climbed that hill to do reverence at
the shrine of our great American.
They Loved ST RI
As the clergyman talked in subdued
tones, we lived over that drear Janu-
airy day when the hearse was stopped
at the foot of the hill and loving
hands carried the caSket up the rugged
path where an open grave was wait
ing. There were men there who are
foremost in our national life and
mingling with them were the old-time
friends of Oyster Bay, who had come
to pay their last respects to a kindly
neighbor. 1t was not President Roose-
welt whom these village folk loved.
but T. r., who was their neighbor and
friend.
We stood with bowed heads at the
grave. A small plot perhaps IL by 16
feet, just large enough for two graves

We walked slowly down the hill to
the waiting automobile. Some way
we were not talking any more.
I was whispering over and over
again: "Oh. God, why did you take
him away at this time when we so
sorely need his ripe judgment-his
splendid Americanism ?"
