AT GLEN MILLER.
The crowd began to gather early.
1t was good -natured, patient, willing
to wait all afternoon, if necessary.
Yet it gathered early, to get posi-
tions to hear the speaking They
gathered in hundreds, and the hun
dreds swelled to thousands. Then
the thousands kept multiplying un-
til, according to varying estimates,
there were from 1900 to 10000
people gathered on the beautiful,
amphitheater-like sward facing the
stand. On they came. They streamed
over the hill, out of the woods from
everywhere. On they came in droves
and hordes. And such a crowd!
Such a sea of faces 1t was an in
spiration to watch it. No finer
crowd has ever been seen from the
standpoint of good looks, good
l. 10
not. No Indiana Yearly Meeting
crowd gathered to hear sermon on
the lawn in front of the meeting house
was ever more orderly. The Hon.
f. T. Roots of Connersville was near
the platform, and calls were made
for him There was demonstra
tion, and Mr.. Roots was called for so
vociferously that he was introduced
and spoke from the reporters plat
form below, entertaining the au-
dience excellently until the arrival of
the Roosevelt train.
And when Teddy arrived! The
scene was one that, for genuine pict
uresqueness has seldom been equaled
anywhere, and has certainly not been
surpassed. There was the rolling
sward with the general formation OF
of cove or natural amphitheater;
on the left was the wood, on the rear
the summit of the hill; on the right
the trees that surround the High
Point hotel; below, more sward and
the fringe of graceful willows with
black trunks and airy foliage, that
skirt the stream. Almost IN the
center of the sward, at the foot of the
cove-like formation, was the plat
form. The boom of a gun warned
the crowd that the train that shrleked
shrilly was the train. The crowd
rose as one person. The crowds
streaming over the hill from the rail
road told the story again. There was
a roar, He 5 coming, from all over
the hillside. AS If by magic the
crowd almost doubled in size. and
! there was a mad furry and excite
| ment. Along the road in the Glen
| below came clatter OF hoofS and the
roll of wheels. \ band of Rough Ri
ders in khaki galloped about an open
carriage. Hes herei' came in
awed accents from thousands O
parted lips Then, as it was known
that at last the idol of the average
American was actually on the ground
what a shout, What a waving o
handkerchiefs, parasols, hats Tn,
picturesque Rough Riders, all vel
mounted, with their bugler, made |
sight that would have done honor Il
the days OF chivalry. The man has
come. He was welcome. Lump
came into the peoples throats. ant
that thrill that marks the culmlna
tion of excitement was in the air
The beautiful picture was complete
When Governor Roosevelt steppet
upon the stage, there was roar o
Iapplause that shook the earth. W hel
