The long-legged trooper, If he had been any thing but a soldier, would have said In the language of the day: "Just say that young Roosevelt couldn’t stand the gaff." Both are slang, but the former Is ths brutal way of ths soldier of In dicating that the horseback soiree ot hundreds of mites Is no Idle pastime, even for the son of a president.
