Teetor is the su perintendent of a car building com )ay at Hlagerstown, Ind. He has a itte son named Lothair, eight years old. The father had agreed to bring the son to the inauguration and the )o felt that he would like to bring something along to Quentin, the sev en-year-old son of the president. The father suggested a fine top and pro ceeded to plan one. He ttunred the plans over to the little son, who began wvork upon the bronze and steel his father had given him. With the help f the workmen he soon turned out the finest top even given to the son of a president or to any other boy. One night the little fellow worked until nearly midnight at the iathes, ani the other hours were put in be fore and after school and on Satur days. WVhen completed the mechan sm was so delicately adjusted and the friction so little that the top, with a li:tle pulling from a string, would run 20 minutes. A small steel plate was also mae unon which the toy assortment resh Car Loa es and terms tlebaum SUCCES luattlebaum Prosperit ..houd1( q)pin. The problem of the two Tetz-r was how to, rcach the little son of the president. They finally secured a letter of introduction to Colonel Crook. the disbursing officer o. .ie Vhite House and he acquaint ed Quentin with the details. Quentin, a fine little fellow, with a kind word and thought for all. went to his fath er Saturday, during the rush of the inauguration and told him the story. The father suggested that he bring the little Indiana boy to see him. The two boys met at the White House Monday afternoon and Quentin ar ranged for the visit, taking in both the Teetors. Although the president was extremely busy he spent some time talking to his visitors and had the little boy spin the top for him. He made the youngster happy by giving him a card upon which was written this in the president's hand writing: "To Lothair Teetor, with the thanks of Quentin's father. Theodore Roosevelt." Quentin also added his thanks and the little Indiana boy was invited to return and visit both the president and his son. NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLE i MENT.
