CAPT. HOUSTON'S MOTHER.
Her Son Fought with Roosevelt and
Afterwards Died Fighting in the
Philippines.
At Hamilton, Ohio, Oct. 16, while
Governor Rosevelt was addressing a
big audience word was brought to him
that the mother of Captain Houston
was in the crowd" and wished an In
troduction. Roosevelt stopped talking and asked
that Mrs. Houston come upon the
stand.
Captain Houston died in the Philip
pines fighting with Lawton. He was
one of the eight captains whom Roose
velt took with him to Cuba on the ex
pedition which made the rough-rider
regiment famous. Four of these cap
tains have died since El Caney and
two of them yet 'bear the wounds of
Mauser bullets. Houston was one of
Col. "Teddy's" favorite officers, and
so he asked to see his mother.
She came through the crowd wearing
the weeds of mourning for her boy.
Willing hands helped her up the stair
way and Roosevelt took her arm and
grasped her hands, with "God bless
you, Mrs. Houston; your son was an
honor to you and to his country."
Her voice was choked with sobs as
she put aside her veil and looked tear
fully at the man who lea her hero to
victory. She said:
"He thought the world of you, Col.
Roosevelt. That's why I wanted to
meet you. I hope you will win, sir.
My son thought you should be presi
dent some day, andI hope you will.
I think you mean to stand for the
things that he stood for and for which
he died, so I hope you .will win."
Few heard the words of the mother
except Roosevelt and those nearest to
him, but the audience knew her and
her story and the women there weot
with her as she left the olatform and
mingled with the crowd.
