tloDal delegation from the governor and leg
lSl3tuTe Of Massachusetts, entered the car
with az elaborate lunch and knot Of SER
wants. AT the same time the train rolled
from the tracks of the sordid New York e
New Haven railroad to thoss OF the Boston
" Albany, and once more the presidential
party was deaSheading lis way to its

car held the president and which one the |
Suns reporter. At the conclusion of the |
lunch the president pinned in his button
hole flowers, and when he went out on the |
platform of the car in Worcester an obtuse
citizen pressed to the front and offered 20
him a single rosebud with a few green
leaves. At first he declined to receive il,
pointing to his existing floral decorations

with sudden start he looked about him
and hurried within. In Worcester round
