Burlington, VT, Aug. 30.-Every-
where in the state of Vermont today
President Roosevelt was received with
enthusiasm. He crossed over from
New Hampshire into Vermont about
noon in a tally-ho drawn by six
horses. Seated on the box with him
were Mr.. and Mrs. Winston Churchill
and Senator Proctor. When Windsor
was reached, where the people had pa
tiently waited his coming. most cor
dial welcome was extended. and as a
county fair was in progress many
persons from out of town were given
an opportunity to see the president.
The 15-mile drive through the noun
tans seemed to give him new vigor.
He was in his happiest vein, and as
he passed through the streets of Wind
sor he bowed first to one side and
then to the other on his way to the
Evarts residence, where he took lunch
con.
The start from Blue Mountain club
house was begun promptly at O'Clock
this morning, and the route to Wind
sor was through Corbin reserve, and
some of the most beautiful of New
Hampshire's scenery. The whole
journey occupied about four hours.
At Cornish the president was met

Victor, VT, Aug. 3l.-On board the
special-When President
Roosevelt travels he practices what
he preaches-the gospel of hard work.
Not a person of the party works as
and unremittingly as
he. While other members of the
party may lean back in their seats
and doze II they please when they
feel tired, the president must sit up
straight, look pleasant and carry on
animated conversations with local
who travel down to
this or that state line to welcome him
to our peerless commonwealth" At
every stop he must jump out on the
rear platform and bow and smile. or
speak, or must climb into carriage
for drive around the residence por.
ton of the CITY," On the drive, which
lasts from fifteen minutes to three
hours, the president must bow from
side to side as the people cheer him
and must lift his hat In response to
the shouts. The mere lifting of ones
hat does not seem to be much of
task, but when II Is kept up for two
or three hours il becomes genuine
hard work. Then there Is the labor
of preparing the speeches he delivers.
In order to please his audience. the
president must get In local color
must make telling references TO the
inustries or the heroes of the places
he visits. To accomplish this II is
necessary for him to read up or talk
with men who are informed on mat
ters of village pride.
In spite Of all this, the president
must maintain his perpetual good ma
ture. He must appear tickled to death
at every point whether he feels II or
not. In this case the president may
be said to carry out his part OF the
program very well. He certainly acts
as IL he enjoyed every minute of the
tour.
