dress upon the law of work. Between
every sentence came the sem1-smile that
showed the teeth so dear to the cartoon
list, and the sun shining full in his face
reproduced the pictures seen in so many
papers, and deemed to be gross eXaggera>
tions. He spoke very deliberately, and
apparently with a determination to make
every remark effective. He made every
movement contribute to the general i'm
preston of a "heart-to-heart' talk. He
appealed directly and individually to
men and classes, catching the attention
by a sudden turning of his position, a
sharp change in his voice, a quick, I'M
expected colloquial exclamation, by a
hundred and one little things that go to
make up Theodore Roosevelt, and which
go" when he uses them, but which
would fail in another. All the time he
seemed to be asserting, Il know what 1
am talking about
While he spoke Gen. Miles appeared on
the grounds and was escorted to the
speakers stand. Roosevelt turned, step
ped forward and greeted the general.
The audience broke forth into renewed
cheering as the straight, dignified figure
came forward. Then Teddy started in
again and hammered away on his theme.
MILES SPEAKS BRIEFLY.
When he had finished, the applause was
deafening. Coy. Van SAINT then introduce
ed Gen. Miles, who made a few i'm
promptu remarks but made them eX-
ceptionaly well. His voice was strong
and sure, and came as great relief att
ter the strioent note OF RooseVelts s. he
spoke easily and without embarrassment.
He said he was glad to be present on so
suspicious an occasion, and wanted to
congratulate the people OF Minnesota on
their wonderful achievement won in SO
brief a time. mo state contributed
more of its best blood in the war
for the Union than Minnesota.
1t is your glory and lasting honor that
you produced the regiment which made
the noblest fight and the greatest sacri-
fee in the war for human liberty.
Wherever Minnesota has carried the flag,
she has done it so well as to make the
achievement one for future glory and
TRIBUTE TO RAMSEY
Gov Van SAINT then said: II want to
Introduce to this audience the noblest
Roman of them all; the man who has
done more for this state than all other
men living or dead Alexander Ramsey"
Gov Ramsey was asked to stand up
and he was given a rousing greeting.
The entire party then re-entered car
riages and were driven to the headquar-
tiers of the st. Paul Jobbers' union,
where for over an hour reception was
held.
Over 2,OO0 people walked through the
building to shake hands with Roosevelt,
Gen. Miles, Senators Nelson and Clapp
and Gov. Van SAINT. Over and over again
some one stepped OUT Oh line TO express
to Col. Roosevelt some tribute for his
speech, or to tell him he represented
their views, and often they confided to
him that he would be the next president
suggestions Roosevelt made no reply,
merely smiling benighly upon the wen in
tentiOned speaker When the hand-shak-
ing was shut off to save the colonel for
future events, the party were driven to
the WOmens Federation building, where
they were entertained at dinner by the

Later in the afternoon the party was
driven about the grounds to inspect the
various exhibits, particularly the stock
exhibits. in which the colonel was much
interested.
REVIEW OF MILITIA.
At 4 o'clock came the review of the
First regiment of the national guard,
consisting of nine companies, under COM
mand of Gen. C. McC. Reeve, colonel
commanding. The companies in the regi-
ment were Companies c, D and E, of
st. Paul; A, B. and I, of Minneapolis;
Company G, of Red Wing, and Company
scented over 500 men in line. Then there
was the battalion of artillery, composed
of two batteries, A and B, and a COM
pany of engineers, all under com1land of
Mai. George c. Lambert
When the companies were lined UP on
the field, the reviewing party, consisting
of Roosevelt. Miles, Gov. Van SAINT and
Adlt Gen. Libbey, rode out on prancing
SteedS, we'll gTCOmed and full of fire and
thunder Roosevelt, as the guest of hon
or, appeared first, followed closely by
forced to tip his hat again and again to
the hurrahing crowd. The vice president
made a good appearance on horseback
MILES Is THE HERO
But at that spectacular moment, what
attracted the greatest attention was the
Stalwart and ccmmandin" figure of Gen.
Nelson a. Miles, who sat his charger
easily, looking every inch the grand sci
der that he is. The eyes of all werS on
him. Among all the crowd his figure
stood out prominent and attractive. 1t
would have been a cold, prosaic person
indeed who could have resis, ed the temp
tatiCn to ''heroize" Miles at that aus
picious moment. On every hand were
Heard expressions of admiration and af-
lection. Isn't he splendid" Every inch
q soldier" Hes the best soldier in the
country These and kindred expressions
on every side proved how completely
Miles has won his way into the hearts
Of the people in this Western country
There was no attempt en- his part TO APP
propriate any applause; indeed, he seemed
too reluctant to acknowledge the honors
paid him. From first to last he was the
typical soldier, reticent, taciturn, but with
power and authority in his very motion
1t needed but small fuse yesterday to
have started a mighty cOnf1agration of
herO-WOrShip for the gallant and greatly
loved commander of the American armies
The review Of the troops was a pleasing
SIght' and 1T was enjoyed by the review
ing party and by the great crowd that
witnessed it. When the boys in khaki
marched up the race course in perfect
time wild enthusiasm prevailed in the
grand stand; and when the flag went by
and Miles and Roosevelt quickly DOTTED
their hats to it in true military fashion,
something in their action started the
crowd into a tremendous explosion of vo-
cal pyIotechnics that swept like a great
wave from man to man.
The review over. Mr.. Roosevent. was
driven to Minneapolis by Thomas Shevljn
TO prepare for the arduous duties which
