Ifthe President has a marked habit above
all others. on his trips about the country, II
Is that of shaking hands with the engineers
and the firemen of the engines that draw
him II il never his fault if he misses this
ceremony. To-day at Columbus, Secret
Service men and others tried TO head him
OF from going into a crowd Of curious pas
sengers that filed the platform beyond the
space kept clear by the police. The Presi-
dent pushed through all Instructions,
ne, .theless, and went down and clasped
har. Is with the engineer and the fireman.
A brief stop was made in Cincinnati to-
night, but Chief Dietsch Of the police ef-
fectually held the crowd outside of the sta
ton. As a result, Chief Dietsch. who is an
extremely military person. was able 10 enjoy
ten minutes promenade with the President
up and down the platform.
At the conclusion of the President re.
marks AZ Dcnnison, man yelled:
Who's going to he President in 1902"
He is" shouted the crowd.
Who's all right" asked the interlocutor

The President ,visibl yemharrassed, started
back into his car, but not in time to escape
three mighty cheers proposed by tho man
who was leading the crowd.
At Xenia, Ohio, the President said:

TO greet me and say how glad am TO be met.

Applause
The President is in rather n dubious
frame of mind over the actual amount
Of sport he is To find in Mississippi. What
he would like 70 do would be 10 60 N on
hunt with a pack Of hounds and a guide
and be by himself for four or five days
But this hunt came about in this way
d. Leroy Dresser and Stuyvesant Fish
of the Illinois Central Railroad asked him
some time ago If he would not like TO go
of on a bear hunt in Mississippi.
l.A. Inn n 10
already declined an invitation to 60 on a
hun, with big party because that sort Of
hunting did not appeal to him AZ all, They
told him that they would arrange such a
hunt for him Then he learned that he had
been to see man named Parker In New
Orleans and that Mr. Parker had made
arrangements with some men up ick-hurg
way who really lad pack Of hounds.
Meanwhile the President had asked
former Rough Rider, John McIlhoney,
to go with him. So II seems entirely pos
sible that the President will find himself
in a ra her crowded hunting party after all
The President has brought along all his
pet hunting paraphernaia, including the
Winchester which has big piece bitten
out Of the stock by mountain lion, and
the hunting knife with the l5-inch blade
with which he stabbed two Colorado cou-
CARS TO death.
But these things will never come out
Of their cases unless the President thinks
appeals to him as real sport. The only
certainty he sees ahead of him from this
distance OF the hunting grounds is that he
is going to have five days rest in camp.
Gen. Basil Duke and X. W Knott boarded
the train at Cincinnati when the train shifted
from the Pennsylvania lines to the Louis
vile and Nashville They stayed aboard
long enough TO have dinner with the Presi-
dent At Worthwhile, Ky, the President
made a few remarks to large and en-
thusiastic crowd. The barking of num-
Der Of wildly enthusiastic yellow dogs
punctuated his remarks, whereupon Mr..
Roosevelt remarked:
1T may interest this community TO know
that / have six children and five dogs at
home. and that at last reports all Of them
we're we'll" Cheers
SAY" shouted lean and lanky citizen,
what sort Of dogs il that you've got?"
Il wouldn't line to II e"iiy any part ocular
breed for any one u them, SAID the Presi-
dent, "but | don't believe you can name
any breed that lent represented
