The work of the Roosevelt Memo rial association, of which there is a local brach, has progressed to a point where d definite announcement can be made. The national executive committee, of which eX-Prcsident William Howard Taft is chairman, has drafted a plan calling for two forms of expression in Roosevelt memorials. It is the plan this week to raise money from subscriptions and membership fees to the Roosevelt Memorial asSo- citation to get the $5,000,000 necessary to carry out the plans of the assOcia- lion. Three definite objects have been outlined by the committee which will be of interest to the local people to know where their money is going. The first plan under way is to inn prove the land that has been given at Oyster Bay for d Roosevelt Memorial park. The second one is to erect d monument memorial in Washington which will rank with the Washington monument and the Llncoln memo rial. The form of the memorial has not been determined as this will rest upon the architects and sculptors who will be called upon to design the most appropriate and most dignifed monu-

II guess he was sort of in his dotage,
for he grew so fond of me that he
said he wanted to make me his legal

heir. I don't really know whether he
had any daughters or not, because
with all his harem, I never saw a
woman about the place.
II thought he was joking about maxi

a summons to come to him at once,
and bring two of my friends along.
II took Frank Korncum, who was

Sometimes it's an advantage to fall
heir to property, and then again 1t
makes a difference just what the prop
erty is. How would you like to wake
up some morning and find that over

Well, that is the situation confront

T~wenty-third street, New York.
You see. it all happened this way.
The sergeant, who is a "devil dog" Of
several years. service, spent two Of
those years in the southern Philip
pines among the savage Moros who
inhabit that region.
While there he mastered the native
language, and became so friendly with
the native "sultans" that on his de-
parture he was officially adopted by
the sultan of Llang-Llang, a small
island off the Borneo coast.
The "sea soldier returned to this
Llang became hazy until the other day,
when he was notified that the old sui
tan had died without a legitimate heir,
and he, the sergeant, had inherited the
title. with its accompanying perqui-
sites, which include a healthy harem.
But Sergeant Mclean is a good
sport, and he is going right there to
see just what his property is, wives
and all.
