The Story of Roosevelt. The September installment of Alfred Henry Lewis's great seri al in Human Life, "The Story of Roosevelt," contains several char aeteristic anecdotes, of which the following is one: It was in the heart of a soft Dakota afternoon. Mr. Roose velt had repaired to a barroom, known locally, I believe, as the Tub of Blood. The Western bar room is the Western club. There the Western man meets and mingles with hs spurred and broad brimmed fellows. One whom I shall call Sage brush Sam made vociferous en trance into the Tub' of Blood. He was refreshing himself at the moment by twirling his six-shoot er about his forefinger, two hun dred revolutions to the minute. The artillery looked like a steel pinwheel. - i "I'm a wolf an' I propose to howl !" announced Sagebrush Sam. . The sophisticated public took no notice. Nettled by the com mon indifference, Sagebrush cast about for ways and means where with to focus attention upon him self. His eyes fell upon Mr. Roosevelt. "Whoever is this yerefour eyed shorthorn?" demanded Sage brush, violently. "Which, un less he's planum' to provoke me spesbul, he'll shorely buy the drinks." The whirling six shooter whirl ed menaceingly in tbe direction of Mr. Roosevelt That gentleman, thus distinguished, arose as though about to comply with the recommendation of the bibulous Sagebrush. It was but a ruse de guerre. As the fatuous Sage brush turned to nominate his "nosepaint," something struck him in the jaw. It was the fist of Mr. Roosevelt Sagebrush who went down in heaps said later that tbe blow which swap ped ends with him was like the kick of a pony, ' Human Life Publishing Co. , Boston. The water in' the Resorvoir is exceedingly low, and no one should take the risk of drinking li now, or for some time after a ram falls, without boiling the wae. first.
