HE MEETS HIS OLD GUIDE

Ellsworth. Me-, Aug. 27.-The Presi- dents second day in the Pine Tree State was full of interest. Starting from the Governors residence at an early hour, he was taken for a short drive about the city of Augusta at 9:30 left for Bangor, where the principal speech of the day was delivered at the fair grounds in the presence of the immense audience. The same close attention was given him at Waterville where, from far and near came Hundreds to see and hear the first Presi- dent who has visited Maine in many years.
 Just before leaving Augusta the Presi- dent heard that his old guide, Bill Sewall of Island Falls, Me, who had accom- panied him on many hunting expeditions and who had for time been employed on his ranch in Dakota was at Bangor. He immediately wired Congressman Powers at Bangor to ''corral' him and hold on to him until he reached that city. That the Congressman carried out these instructions was fully proven when he produced the tall, raw-boned, red whis- kered hunter upon the Presidents ar rival.
 Bill Was the Gladder.
 q am glad to see you Bill," said the President.
 whereupon Bill replied, You aint no gladder than I be-"
 Then 1t was that the President told of the story of friendship of many years ago while on a hunting trip through Maine owing to the shortage in the meat supply they had eaten muskrat together which the President said was the last meat he had eaten in Maine before this trip.
 The President seemed to delight in the rural simplicity of the man and insisted that he should sit down to dinner with him. Bill, therefore, had the distinc- tion that comes to few of dining with the chief executive of the nation and the Governor of his State at the same time. While at the fair grounds some one sug- Eested to Sewell who was seated on the platfoSm with the President that he should go to Washington and secure an appointment as postmaster, but Bill had already received this honor and said to his inquisitor. 'I be postmaster already '
 On the drive through Bangor the Presl- dents carriage was stopped In front or the portico of the orphans home where the little ones were assembled ana they greeted him in song.
 Before beginning to speak at the fair grounds, the President, noticing the jam ming and pushing of the crowd in front of the grand stand. cautioned the people to be careful of the women and the chill dren and asked them to show their capa- city to manage themselves, which inn mediately had the desired effect. The platform from which the President spoke was directly in front of the grand stand which was packed with humanity.
 On leaving the platform he drove around the race track in response to cries from the audience to do so. Tonight the President dined here at the home of Sen ator H .Ie who accompanied the party to BanF 1r.
 ts the @ pot here when the Presiden- ~<<SI train pulled in the President was escorted to a platform near by and de- livered a short address.
 He left at 10 o'clock for Nashua, N H, and other points in that State where he will speak tomorrow.
