Show HAVING A GOOD TIME. H Tho President Is having the time of his life H down, with the cow-boys, telling them how to H bring up children, showing them how to shoot jH wolves, taking the most approved consumption 'H troatment living in the open air, sleeping on the H porch and eating corn-bred, becon and eggs and H forgetting that there is any San Domingo, or H Venezuela, or clamoring politicians. He is giving H his kingdom for a horse nowadays, a horse and H gun; he is hunting out the wild beasts that hearing H of his coming are hunting their holes. .And he H is wearing out his old clothes and laughing his H tailor to scorn. All the time, too, ho Is giving. 'H young Texas and young Oklahoma an object H lesson in how it is possible for a President to be a H cow-boy, tho reverse of which of course Is how a H cow-boy, sometimes, if he has the brain and the 9H sand and the assurance and the perseverance and the luck may become a President. And more than H one Texan boy will study harder next term at school jH and be more careful of deportment because of H that object lesson. And the older Texans will k more thoroughly comprehend than ever before H that all the difference between the northmen and H the southmen Is tho difference in their prejudices, H and that the man who does not Include all his jH country in his thoughts, Is, after all, only half H an American. And the President will be back In H time to speak at a few college commencements; M to decorate some graves on Memorial day and M then bo ready for any emergency that may require M a soft walk and a big stick. There nev.er was such H an all-around President before as the one who Is M now at tho helm, and all the world knows that M fact. fl |
