day evening, while still larger mum.
ber partook of the pot luck supper pre-
ceeding it, many of whom could not
remain for the meeting because of other
engagements The reports of the sew
eral organizations of the church were
particularly gratifying, showing an
active interest In all lines Of work and

ing and encouraging, showing the cur
rent expenses of the past year had been
fully met and balance left on hand Of

the increase amounted to 81 per cent,

good cause which comes to the atten.
tion of the people of Owosso, and Is

ROOSEVELT LAD GIVEN
LICKING BY WATSON BOY

The Roosevelt Memorial Association
has received the following story about
Colonel Roosevelt from worker In
the campaign.
Situated little over mile from:
Sycamore Hill is a school house,
which Theodore Roosevelt visited
every year. The day was the one be-
fore Christmas, when he played the
part of Santa Claus. The Colonel fur
nished the elaborate tree and the
presents and candy for the two-score
children in the school.
Theodore, Kerm.,, Archibald, and
Edith Roosevelt received their first
schooling in this little house. The
Colonel was Santa Clause when they
were there, and he kept it up until he
died, missing it only twice, once when
he was President. The second time
was the last Christmas of his life,
when he was in the hospital. This
time he commissioned "Archie" to
act for him.
In distributing the presents, the
Colonel always had something to say
to the little children. They were in
troduced by the teacher as they STEP
ped forward. On one of these occa-
sions, little girl came forward, and
her name was given as Mary Watson.
AS the Colonel heard the name, he
laughed and said:
"I'm always glad to meet anyone by
the name of Watson. You must be a
relative of Billy Watson, who went
to school with Archie" And the lit
tie girl nodded her head. "Well, one
day on my way home, when the boy
went to school here, / saw fight, and
my boys were there. When they got
home / got them together and asked
who was in the fight. Archie stepped
forward, and one could plainly see
that he had been, for his clothes were
dirty and his face red. 1T was me,
father he said, 'and Billy Watson
licked me to finish.'
$50 you can understand how re-
call the name of Watson, and want
to congratulate you, my little girl,
for having the name of family who
achieved victory over one Of. my
boys"

WHEN ROOSEVELT
RODE BEN BUTLER

Most admirers of Theodore Roose-
welt are inclined to the belief that his
greatest exhibition of sheer pluck was
given, in Milwaukee in October, 1912,
when he was shot in the chest by
John Schrank, would-be assassin,
who was demented. On that occasion,
with bullet in his body, Roosevelt in
sisted on making the speech scheduled
at the Auditorium while the candidate
of the Progressive Party. He did
and then went to a hospital.
But these admirers of the Colonel
are probably not familiar with another
exhibition of grit that even surpassed
the one at Milwaukee. This took
place in the spring of 1885, when
Roosevelt, who was then in the cattle
business in the Bad Lands along the
Little Missouri River, took part in a
big roundup of cattle that lasted for
three weeks. 1t is graphically de-
scribed by A. w. Merrifield, who was
Colonel Roosevelt's ranch partner in
those picturesque days.
"Colonel Roosevelt joined the round
up, bringing his own string of ten
horses" says Mr.. Merrifeld. "In this
string of his he had one mean brute
named Ben Butler. Several of his
horses bucked on occasion, but Ben
Butler had the trick of falling over
backward. One afternoon as Roose-
velt was starting out on "the circle,
the horse fell over with him and
Roosevelt broke the point of his
shoulder. There was no doctor withir
a hundred miles and Roosevelt knew
it. The break must have been very
painful, but he didn't say a wore
about it. He simply got another
horse and went on with the days
work. He didn't speak of it agar
and the rest of us forgot about it
The break healed up itself. 1t wasn'
until about year after that realiz
ed what he must have, suffered. Wher
we got back from that roundup tina
spring, with his shoulder scarcel,
healed, didn't think anything of put
ting him on horse for forty to sixt.
miles day. We'd ride up to the ranc,
of a man named Gregor Lang, SOM
fifty miles up the river, then whel
we'd had our supper I'd say to youn,
Roosevelt: How about going out an,
getting a deer?'
"He'd say, All right So we'd ge
4 fresh horses and start out to kill
deer.
"After had broken my ankle an
had my own lesson, | apologized t
him for those deer hunts when he wa
in such shape. He laughed. 'Merri
field,' he said, when you'd bring ou
that fresh horse for me to ride, l.
rather have ridden a red hot Stove.'
"But he rode the horses and nevs
said word"
