A South Bend-, Ind., dispatch car
ried by the Associated Press says:
"Theodore- Roosevelt narrowly
missed a gift of 1,000 acres of val
uable timber land from a former' ad
mirer, whose .will was. nrobated in
South.,Bend.ioday. .Charles-W.Hali,i
who died in Benton Harbor, Mich.,
a year. ago left an estate worth be
tween $100,000 and $200,000. In his
will Mr. Roosevelt's name appears in
,the list of legatees. The paragraph
reads as follows: 'To Colonel Roose
velt, of Washington, D. C, I give
and bequeath one thousand acres of
timber land located on Brimstone
creek, in Scott county, Tennessee, to
have and to hold during his natural
life.' The original will bears the
date of October 5r 1908, but the
testator, following the presidential
election that year, suffered a cnange
of mind, and on December 23, he
made a codicil, taking back the be
quest to Mr. Roosevelt and giving It
to his brother. The codicil does not
reveal tho testator's motive in mak
ing it."

DEAR IiAND-OP "MIGHT HAVE
BEEN"
"Every man has his secret sor
row," remarked the real estato deal
er, leaning back In his swivel chair.
"You wouldn't think it to look at
me, but a large roan grief with a
blazed face has been gnawing at my
heartstrings for years. As I sit hero
today I don't believe I'm a dollar
richer than I waB ten years ago. I
have been engaged In a hand-to-hand
conflict with tho wolf at the
door all my life and the match has
been a draw thus far.
"The thing that pains me to the
quick is the fact that I once owne'd
inexhaustible riches and didn't know
it. I had a farm down in the south
west. I got it in a trade in tho wild
glad days of the boom, and I never
had time to go and look at it until
I had owned it and paid taxes on It
for two or three years. Finally, dur
ing a slack time, I made the trip
and when I saw that farm I sat down
and wept as though my heart would
break.
"I had pictured a little Eden; In
fact, the fellow who worked It off
on me had given me to understand
it was -a transplanted section of para
dise. It was the steepest farm I ever
saw. It stood on end and you could
fall from the- north to the south side
without touching the ground. I saw
at once that in order to cultivate it a
man would neea to oo a BKinea
aviator.
From that hour my highest ambi
tion was to get rid of that farm. I
bard as I worked in getting rid of
that farm, and I succeeded after des
perate efforts. I found a reckless In
dividual who traded me a peanut
stand and a team of ponies for the
place, and I was so tickled over the
trade that I opened several boxes, of
cigars.
"Not long afterward Oil was
struck In 'the" neighborhood, and the
price of land around there went up
until it broke the altitude record.
And the best well In the whole busi
rPHR is located on that old slab-
sided farm, and the man who bt it
for a team of ponies and a peanut
stand now spends his time putting
wealth into ;fniit. jars and carrying
them into the cellar."
- "I can sympathize with you," re
marked the physician, with unspeak
able badness in his voice. "I also
have a cankering grief that fills my
bosom with desolation. But for the
dignity that a man of my profession
must maintain, J mignt ouen ue
seen kicking myself the lengtn or
fht treet- A eood many years ago.
when I -was newly' graduated, I went
to a small Nebraska town and oegan
to build up a practice.. Times were
hard, and I was as poor as Lazarus.
"I had to cover a good deal of
territory to visit my few patients,
and it became necessary to buy a
horse. A farmer owed me some
money for professional services and
was anxious to square up by selling
me a colt. He told me tne coit wu
well bred, and gave me its pedigree,
meaningless to me. '
"However, the animal was gentle,
and was offered cheap, and so I took
him. He cost me $80. Write that
down in your hat. Of all the awk
ward beasts ever created that colt
wns the worst. He was all legs and
head a?nd had a ridiculous little tail
and not enough mane to fill your
nine. When ho traveled the air
seemed to be full of legs, and he
couldn't keep in the road to save
himself. He was so awkward that
?f there was a : ditch, within reach
ho'd take a header Into It, and every"
time I got back to town from a trip
I had to take ray buggy around lp
tho repair shop.
"Ho was a most Industrious horse,
however, and it was necessary to
hold him in rather than urge him on.
There wero times when his speed
was astonishing, and a man with
horao senna might havo snBpected
things, but I was young and foolish,
and J was ashamed of that amtablo
steed because ho was homely and
awkward. My friends tried to bo
funny whenever they mentioned him,
and a young woman reftmed to go
