What man in these United States
has put into sixty years the amount of
constructive. lasting work as the late
ex president. Theodore Roosevelt ?
His were years Of service and il
seemed as though he was good for 20
more years. He died in his sleep. He
was kent cut of the worlds war but
could moi be denied the honor of hav-
ing his four sons and a son-in-law in
the service. The death of his young
est SON, Quentin, was n severe blow to
the Colonel and il is thought was one
of the contributing causes to his death.

ONE OF THE FAMILY

II Is hard TO think of Theodore
Roosevelt as dead. A man who, for q
quarter of century, has been SC
much part of our National life comes
to be regarded as permanent. And
then, when he is called to pay the
common debt Of mortality, it is like a
death in the family.
The American people took Theodore
Roosevelt like one of the family. He
excited the same instructive affection
and the same furious resentment tina,
we reserve for our own kith and kin
He would say things and do things
which made US mad enough to brain
him. And at the same time we were
immediately proud of him. Where
was the Nation that could produce
anybody like him? He embodied
America: its impetuosity, its informal
manners, its restless energy, its prod
igal enthusiasms, its versatility. its
preference for action rather than
thought.
Roosevelt was the sort Of figure
round which legends cluster. He was
a legend even while he lived; per-
sonality, showering forge of pithy
anecdote. He was picturesque. Here
was the first President since John
Quincy Adams TO come out Of a big
university, the first in decades to come
out Of brownstone-front city house.
He achieved the Presidency by largely
repudiating both. Here was frail,
sickly boy who deliberately transform
cd himself into n burly athlete; cul-
tured Fastener who made good on Il
ranch in the wild West; a regular fel.
low, who could be equally at ease and
sincere with cowpuncher and diplomat,
with professor and pugilist
The drudgery of learning politics
from the ground up he did not shirk.
yet he did the dirty work" Of his
apprenticeship without being diriied;

turc, and, without the aid Of any Of

Oaks and Aeorns.

So far as this paper can learn. the
only oak trees in this section are on
the Webb. place, just west Of town.
They are said to be 40 years old and
the ase Of their trunks arc more than
= foot in diameter. There are three
of them, with spreading branches
They were raised from aeorns plant
ed by Father Webb when he first came
10 Emmett. Few people know Of their
existence; in fact. there are many who
have never seen an oak tree and would
not know enc If they saw II. Leonard
Ross discovered them the other day
and brought few acorns to town.
Very many Of those 10 whom the
aeorns we're shown did not know what
they were, but TO those who came
from the East the sight Of the acorns
was tender reminder of boyhood days
