D. 1900 Let others appraise the merits of this greatest American gentleman as governor of New York, assistant sec retary of the United States navy, col onel of the Rough Riders, historian of his pet hero, Oliver Cromuell, and, finally, president of the republic. He had spent half his life as an adven turer on the wild frontier breaking horses, punching cows, fighting grizzly bears, before he ever tackled the poli ticians, and he had much more fun by the camp-fire than he got in his mar ble palace. Here is his memory of a prairie fire: “As I galloped by I saw that the fire hud struck the trees a quarter of a voile below me; In the dried timber if instantly sprang aloft like a giant, und roared in a thunder ous monotone as It swept up the coulee. I galloped to the hill ridge ahead, saw that the fire line had already (reached the divide, and turned my horse sharp on his haunches. As I again passed under the trees the fire, running like a race horse in the bush, had reached the road; its wrath was .hot in my face; tongues of quivering flame leaped over my head, and kindled the grass on the hillside fifty yards away.” Thus having prospected the ground he discovered means of saving himself, his companions, and his camp from the rushing flames. It is an old arti fice of the frontier to start a fresh fire, burn a few acres, and take refuge on the charred ground while the storm of flame sweeps by on either hand. But this was not enough. The fire was burning the good pasture of his cattle and, unless stayed, might sweep .away not only leagues of grass, but ricks and houses. \Before dark,” he continues, “ we drove to camp and shot a stray steer, and then split its carcass In two lengthways with an ax. After sundown the wind lulled —two of us on horseback dragging a half carcass, bloody side down, by means of ropes leading from our sad- dlehorns to the fore and hind legs, the other two following on foot with, slickers and wet blankets. “There was a reddish glow in the night air, and the ' waving/ ’ bending lines of flame showed in great bright curves against the hillside ahead of us. The flames stood upright two or three feet high. Lengthening the ropes, one of us spurred his horse across the Theodore Roosevelt. fire line, and then wheeling, we dragged the carcass along It, one horse man being on the burnt ground, the other on the unburnt grass, while the body of the steer lay lengthwise across the line. The weight and the blood smothered the fire as we twitched the carcass over the burning grass, and the two men following behind with their blankets and slickers (oilskins) readily beat out any isolated tufts of flame. Sometimes there would be a slight puff of wind, and then the man on the grass side of the line ran the risk of a scorching. “We were blackened with smoke, and the taut ropes hurt our thighs, while at times the plunging horses tried to break or bolt. It was worse when we came to' some deep gully or ravine—we could see nothing, and simply spurred our horses Into It any where, taking our chances. Down we would go, stumbling, sliding and pitch ing, over cut banks and into holes and bushes, while the carcass bounded be hind, now catching on a stump, and now fetching loose with a ‘pluck’ that brought It full on the horses’ haunches, driving them nearly crazy with fright. By midnight the half carcass was worn through, but we had stifled the fire in the comparatively level country to the eastwards. Back we went to camp, drank huge drafts of muddy water, de voured roast ox-ribs, and dragged out the other half carcass to fight ^the fire In the west. There was some little risk to us who were on horseback, dragging the carcass; we had to reel our way along knife-like ridges In the dark, one ahead and the other behind while the steer dangled over'the preci pice on one side, and in going down the buttes and into the canyons only by extreme care could we avoid get ting tangled in the ropes and rolling, down In a heap.” So nt last the gal lant fight was abandoned, and looking back upon the fire which they had failed to conquer: *Tn the darkness it looked like the rush of a mighty army.” Short of cowboys and lunatics, no body could have Imagined such a feat of horsemanship. Of thni pattern Is frontier adventure— daring gone mad; and yet It is very rarely that the frontiersman finds che day’s work worth recording, or takes the trouble to set down on paper the stark naked facts of an incident more exciting than a shipwreck, more dangerous than a battle, and far transcending the com mon experience of men. Traveling alone in the Rockies, Col onel Roosevelt came at sundown to a little ridge whence he could look Into the hollow beyond—and there he saw a big grizzly walking thoughtfully home to bed. At the first shot, “he uttered a loud moaning grunt and plunged forward at a heavy gallop, while I raced obliquely down the hill to cut him off. After going a few hun dred feet he reached a laurel thicket . . . which he did not leave . . . As I halted I heard a peculiar savage whine from the heart of the brush. Accordingly I began to skirt the edge, 'standing on tiptoe nnd gazing earnest ly In to see If I could not get a glimpse of his hide. When I was at the nar rowest part of the thicket he suddenly left It directly opposite, and then wheeled and stood broadside to me on the hillside a little above. He turned his head stiffly toward me, scarlet strings hung from his lips, his eyes burned like embers in the gloom. I held true, aiming behind the shoulder, and my bullet shattered the point or lower end of his heart, taking out a big nick. Instantly the great bear turned with a harsh roar of fury and challenge, blowing the bloody foam from his mouth, so that I saw the gleam of his white fangs; and then he charged straight at me, crashing and bounding through the laurel bushes so that It was hard to aim. “I waited until he came to a fallen tree, raking him as he topped It with a ball which entered his chest and went through the cavity of his body, but he neither swerved nor flinched, and at the moment I did not know that I had struck him. He came unsteadily on, and In another moment was close upon me. I fired for his forehead, but my bullet went low, entering his open mouth, smashing his lower Jaw, and going Into the neck. I leaped to one side almost as I pulled trigger, and through the hanging smoke the first thing I saw was his paw as he made a vicious side blow at me. The rest of his charge carried him past. As he struck he lurched forward, leav ing a pool of bright blood where his muzzle hit the ground; but he recov ered himself and made two or three jumps onward, while I hurriedly jammed a couple of cartridges into the magazine, my rifle only holding four, all of which I had fired. Then he tried to pull up, but as he did so his muscles ■ seemed to give way, his head drooped, and he rolled over—each of my first three bullets had Inflicted a mortal wound.” This man who had fought grizzly bears came rather as a surprise among the politicians in silk hats. He had the gentry at his back because he was one of the few men of unques tioned birth and breeding who had en tered the political bear-pit since the country squires who followed George Washington. He had all the army at his back because he had charged the heights at Santiago de Cuba with con spicuous valor at the head of his own regiment of cowboys. He had the navy at his back because as assistant secre tary of the navy he had successfully governed the fleet. But he was no poli tician when he came forward to claim the presidency of the United States. Seeing that he could not be Ignored the wire-pullers set a trap for this Inno cent and gave him the place of vice president. The vice president has lit tle to do, can only succeed to the office In the event of the president’s death, and is, after a brief term, frequently barred for life from any further prog ress. “Teddy” walked Into the trap and sat down. But when President McKinley was murdered the politicians found that they had made a most surprising and gigantic blunder. By their own act the cowboy bear fighter must succeed to the vacant seat as chief magistrate of the republic. President Roosevelt happened to be away a£ the time, hunt ing bears In the Adirondack wilder ness, and there began a frantic search of mountain peaks and forest solitudes for the missing ruler of one hundred million people. When he was found, and had paid the last honors to his dead friend, William McKinley, he was obliged to proceed to Washington, and there take the oath. His women folk had a terrible time before they could persuade him to wear a silk hat and frock coat, but he consented even to that for the sake of the gorgeous time he was to have with the politicians afterward.
