INCIDENTS TOLD
New Anecdotes of Life of Teddy
Roosevelt.

New York, Sept. 10-Scores of
hitherto imprinted incidents and an
ecdotes in the life of the late Theo-
dore Roosevelt are told in a book,
"My Brother, Theodore Roosevelt" !"
written by his younger sister, Co.
rinne, now Mrs. Douglas Robinson.
The book is published today by
Scribners.
Mrs. Robinson and Roosevelt, as
children, were inseparable. "Teddie'
and ""Conie" were the nicknames
they affectionately bestowed on
each other. Much of the book is
based on letters Theodore wrote to
his sister and on her own diary.
When the boy who was to become
president was eleven, his father
turned one of the upper rooms OF
his New York home into an outdoor
gymnasium, and calling Theodore to
him said: "You have the mind, but
not the body, and without the help
of the body the mind will not 60
as far as it should. You must make
your body. It will be hard drudg-
cry, but I know you will do it."
The boy threw back his head and
with a flash of the white teeth that
later became famous, answered: II
will make my body" He became
the exponent Of the strenuous life.
While the Roosevelt children were
spending year in Germany, Elliott,
brother Of Theodore, wrote to an
uncle, shortly after the boys had
been presented with boxing gloves:
"Last night, in a round with Ted
die, he got a bloody nose and I got
bloody mouth. We do enjoy the
gloves so. Boxing is one Of Teddie's
and my favorite amusements; it is
such a novelty to be made to see
stars when it is not night"
In the summer of 1876, just before
Theodore entered Harvard, he start
ed. one morning to row across the
bay. to keep an appointment with a
girl friend. He landed at 8 o'clock.
Thinking it too early to call, he
lay down on the beach and promptly
fell asleep. He awoke to find that
his boat had drifted away. I'm
dressing, he swan out and brought
it back, piled his clothes into it, and
crawled under a dock to resume his
nap. -.
To his horror, upon awakening the
second time, he found that boat,
clothes and all, had vanished, while
on the wooden planks above him he
heard the voice of his girl friend
and a companion. &c..
He lay shivering, though not from
the cold, until the girls tired of
waiting and returned home. Then
he swan out second time-recov-
cred his clothes and boat and hur-
ried home. -.
While Roosevelt was police COM
missioner of New York, German brew
er societies held parade to protest
against his strict enforcement of the
law.
AS a piece of sarcasm they invited
Roosevelt to review the parade. And
he accepted.
From the stand he watched the
marchers bearing banners decryine
him. One company, in passing
called out: "Wo ist Teddy?"
"Hier bin ich," the commissioner
replied, his teeth flashing in win
ming smile, and the crowd suddenly
turned and cheered him to the echo

TIL DEVIL APPEARS
Furnishes Surprise to Sunday Night
Dances at Lake Marion
Pavilion Recently

Although the whole thing seems to
be shrouded in mystery, report has it
that there was a real ''devil of a time''
at the Lake Marion dance pavilion
one night recently. Report has it that
there were in the neighborhood of 100
people present at the time, but the
Leader reporters have not been able
to find anyone who would admit that
he was there. Here's the story: When
the entertainment was at it's height
his Satanic Majesty, in person, forked
tail, cloven hoofs, horns ands all, ems
shrouded in fire of many colors, sud-
denly appeared in the center of the
dancing floor-some say from above,
others that the. form materialized on
the floor where it was first seen-and
from then on he had complete posses
sion of the place. The merry-makers
seem to have left precipitately-every
mothers son and daughter of them
not to return that evening, the story
being that several cars were even left
until thesnext morning when the own
ers returned for them. You may take
it for what it is worth-that's the
story as told the Leader by several
persons, all agreeing as to even the
minutest details.-Hutchinson Leader.

CLOSE TIMES HITS ORPHAN
AGE A HEAVY BLOW


The close times and increased popu-
latiOn have dealt the Christian Home
Orphanage of Council Bluffs, Iowa, a
heavy blow. This institution cares for
an average of $50 little children daily
It also conducts department for aged
dendendentS women and department
for deformed and cripple children. The
institution was founded in 1882, and
since that time has provided for an
average of 500 homeless people an
nually. The institution is at present
struggling under a heavy debt, and
with winter at hand, and calls from
the needy rapidly increasing, efforts
are being made to wipe out the debt
by Thanksgiving offering. This in
stitution is the only home that hun
dreds of destitute children and aged
women know The Home is supported
entirely by voluntary contributions of
charitable people. It receives chill
dren from any part of the country, en-
ploys no travelling agents and is alb
solutely non-sectarian. This great in
rstitution sorely needs your help now.
Send them a Thanksgiving donation
and help them pay off the. old debt

seek food and shelter there, this win

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

Gov.-Elect Dixon of Montana has made it known that he would not consider Cabinet appointment account of the fact that it would necesstate his resignation Governor of his State. He believes there is greater work for Montana to be done at Helena than at Washington. He is right. The greatest need of America is big for State Gov and for State Legislatures. One of the for the tendency toward centaization of the powers of government in Washington is neglect of State by the people of the States. If the States would function up to their powers under the Const tution of the Nation and under their State constitutions there would be less demand for the National Government to do many things.
 More big of the country should follow the example of Gov. Dixon and devote their time and talents the State governments rather than to seek preferment in Federal politics,
 One of the characteristics of modern times in the United States is the contest everywhere for power The Federal Government, of bureaus hundreds of societies and organizations of all are trying to the country in all it's details. The only chance for the to get into this game is through their local governments and it used 10 be admitted that the masses should run things If the States would the powers which they have under the Constitution there would be a cessa ton of te centralization of power in bureaus and endowed societies.
 As matter of fact the greatest contribution that could be made toward self-gOyernment in the United States would be for the Federal Government 10 give in fee simple to each of the separate States all the public lands and other natural resources within its borders That has been many times proposed in this country and has been advocated by of the greatest of our statesmen These lands and other natural resources would be valuable assets to the
