Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from "Folks" Perhaps the title to this chronicle of some of the men and women I have known is best explained by an incident, the details of which were given me when I first went to Washington, many years ago. Shortly after Mr. Roosevelt became president, he and the Vice-president, Mr. Fairbanks, touring the country in a special train, were delayed by a break in the locomotive in a rural spot in Indiana. President Roosevelt proposed to Mr. Fairbanks that, pending necessary mechanical repairs, they slip away from the others in the party and walk down a country road, which lay long and dusty before them. Presently the tall, leisurely Vice-president and the shorter, quicker President, passed a field in the midst of which stood a stack of straw and on it a busy farmer. Vice-president Fairbanks stepped to the fence and, beckoning with a long arm, cried: "Hey, there!" The farmer, apparently not taking kindly to an interruption on a busy day, rested from his labors for a moment, surveyed the visitors indifferently and cried back with some asperity: "Hey yourself!" About to continue with the chore, the farmer, seeing the tall man still beckoning, changed his mind, left his fork in the stack, and sliding down, came across the field to the fence, with the brisk air of one who had proposed to himself to waste little time on loiterers.
