issued and all the bulletins that have been
posted around town, and all the news
that has been sent far and wide, the
President is not dying and he shows no
signs of dying as yet. have been with him
all the time, and say this not only be-
cause feel it, but because know it. An
other thing. 1t has been said that he is
out Of his head, or has been out of his head.
Now have
Never known Him to be Out Of His
a Head
minute in an the time that have been
with him."
Colonel, but don't you think that he is
getting near that point when he may be
said to be dying?"

The Unexpected.
Col Rockwell then walked on, but turn

Years ago the President said, 1t is always
the unexpected that is happening to me- and
it is possible that the whole world will be
agreeably disappointed, and he may yet get
up" .-i f-.-u,
