ROOSEVELT

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt Is dead,
Through the States, like fash, this
sad news spread.
Forgotten for a monument are the
events of the day,
And We think of the great man who
passed away.
Today America stands at the bier of
OF her most honored loyal and great
est sons
II matters not to which political party
we belong,
Whether a Republican or Democrat
strong
We all must say ere from him we
part
He was a real American with his
whole big heart
Although he is dead, from us has gone
In history and fame his name will live
He was elected to New York Legisla-
ture when very young
Since then his praises in many in
stances have been sung.
He was cowboy, a soldier brave, a
warrior bold.
Such as we read of in the stories Of
old.
He was not afraid, he knew of no fear
He often was greeted, "The Dare De-
vii is here"
Though first in war and willing to
fight
His great endeavor was to do what
was right.
When from the Spanish war back to
his country he came.
AS hero of the Rough Riders he won
glory and fame.
Many prominent offices were his.
Including Governor of New York and
more than, this
He ranked among the greatest men of
the world;
When the earth's grandest nation for
eight years he ruled.
He received a prize flor his service)
in the cause of peace.
When a conference he called, "The
Russian Japanese"
As an another to Theodore Roosevelt
is known.
A great explorer in darkest Africa he
loved to roam.
The wild beasts of the jungle he de-
fed.
Laughed at the assassins bullet, when
his friends sighed.
In the worlds war he offered, he
pleaded for chance
To lead our armies over In France.
Many looked to him as their kind ad-
wiser;
While others pronounced him a severe
criticiser.
Foreign countries too are grieving the
loss Of this world famous man.
Cuba rnourns the hero Of the battle on
hill San Juan.
Ended is his brilliant. eventful career.

imported about $6OO,CpO,OOO worth of
corn, hay, grains, MIXED feed, flour,

1856 per cent. more wheat IN 1918 than

Of everyday living. The glad play is
the well-chosen Offering of the wash
ington and the company interpreting
the CHEEKY text and characters OF
"Pollyanna," is personally one OF very
high order. The philosophy which this
glad play spreads has caught the i'm
agination Of people, and sparks in ev-
cry heart a feeling of comfort that is
not soon forgotten. There Is nothing
"preachey" about Pollyanna, either
It is a joyful message sent upon its
errand by good fun, claau sentiment
and old Lavender romance. 1t pro-
yides an evenings diversion at the
theater, where all the lovable char
acters of the famous books pass in
review as living beings, and sends one
home with smile and sense OF sat
isfaction that is bound to linger pleas
antly in memory long after the play

Ter evidently sensed what the people
long for in entertainment when they
brought out "Pollyanna" in the spok-
en- form of the stage, giving the vi
tality Of flesh and blood to the imagi-
native characters of the book. Eleanor
H. Porter had done the world a good
service by this creation Of fancy, and
the play author has followed step in
this service, and the producers are in
the reckoning Of good deeds by their
faith and sensitive regard for fitting
detail of presentation.

And always pleasant thing we find
Though you may be absent
But we shall keep you always IN mind.
Now you have gone for away
But your country called you
And you said farewell to
All at home one day,
I am going to France to stay.
You are not forgotten Robert
Or will you ever be,
AS long as life and memory last
We shall always remember thee.
We are lonely without you Robert
Your voice we loved is still
But now all in life for us to say
Somewhere in France is a grave.
For his country he suffered
Now in patience he bore
Until his God whispered
Now Robert you are hero.
