name. The next day, his parents brought him to
the temple and the priest asked them to offer

Roosevelt was once invited to a hunting trip. Most of the
hunters competing had already killed an animal. A suite of
Roosevelt's attendants cornered, clubbed, and tied an animal to
a willow tree after a long exhausting chase, called Roosevelt to
the site and suggested that he should shoot it. He refused to
shoot it himself, deeming this unsportsmanlike, but instructed
that it should be killed to put it out of its misery. It became the
topic of a political cartoon by Clifford Berryman in The
