THE PRESIDENT PRESSED.

Seekers For Some Time.


Seekers For Some Time.
1t has been more than a week since the Pres

was to-day. They came up smiling this morn

may have worn their welcome out some time
since discredited the doorkeeper's memory by
asserting that they were making their first call
They don't know the tenacity of Doorkeeper
Letters memory. He remembers the faces Of
all who pass him. and it is a mistake to at
tempt to deceive him. Many of the callers had
their hair brushed slick, and wore rosebuds in
their button-holes to indicate their continued
freshness and rebuilding hopes. Most of the
callers these days wear flowers on the lapels Of
their coats
