"In consequence Of this I have re-
ceived numerous letters from good peo-
pie living In those localities, making
requests based entirely upon the truth

those who start such reports, but It
produces reverse effect on those who
are made the victims Of such an alb
surd canard"

Roosevelt viewed the scenery Nound
the famous horseshoe curve yesterday
afternoon from a seat in the cab of a
locomotive attached to his special
train, and after a ride of about fifty
miles expressed himself as delighted
with his experience. When his spe-
cial reached Altoona, at 4:50 o'clock
yesterday afternoon the president
alighted from his car and walked rap
idly to the front of the train. Two
engines were coupled to it ready to
pull the heavy cars over the Allegheny
mountains, and the president shook
hands with the crews of each.
Climbs Into the Engine Cab.
He then climbed into the cab Of the
rear engine, No. 2,40S. In the cab with
him were Secretary Loeb, Trainsmas-
ter A. Kaiser Special Engineer Rob
ert McLaren; the regular engineer, H
i. Mccormick. and Fireman III. w.
Hunter. As he took his seat the

Der OF the Brotherhood of Locomo-

take his turn at feeding the furnace,
but he did not do So When Galitzen,
the crest Of the mountains, was reached

the train and the run to Seward was
made with one engine.

Here the president climbed down
from his lofty seat, and after shaking
hands with tie engineers and firemen
went back to his car, rather dusty and
grimy, but enthusiastic over his novel
ride While the presidents engine oc-
cupied the second place on the train

the cab was protected by windows
and doors quite a quantity OF smoke
found its way in. No record breaking
run was made while the president sat
in the cab, the speed of the train not
reaching over forty-five miles an hour.

Outside of his ride on the engine
thepresident passed an uneventful day,
devoting a large portion Of it to read
ing. Brief stops were made at Balti-
more, Harrisburg and Altoona. but only
at one place did the president make
speech. A large crowd met his train
at Harrisburg. and although no speech
was scheduled for this place he ap-
peared on the rear platform of his car
and delivered short address which
was received with many cheers.

So ended the first day of the presi-
dents journey to the west. His train

Boosting Obsscssonsl Among Nations.
Boosting and clustering are as OBJ
jectionable among nations as among
individuals, and the public men OF

national self-respect to speak court
eously Of foreign powers, just as a
brave and self-respecting man treats
all around him courteously. But
though to boast is bad, and causeless-
~ to insult another, worse; yet worse
than all is it to be guilty Of Boosting,
even without insult, and when called
to the proof to be unable to make such
boasting good. There IL homely

"Esperanto" Said to Be Capable Of
Universal Use,

According to reports from Europe
the spread of Esperanto, the language
invented for universal use, has proved
of value to Esperantists. At recent
gathering in London one of the guests
brought with him French gentleman
and his wife and Czech from Bo-
hemia. None of the three could speak
word of English, but Esperanto was
found to be perfectly facilc medium
for conversation. The Bohemian gen.
tleman had had various amusing eX-
periences while journeying through
Europe. He had taken one of the Es-
pcranto journals, marked the names
of the secretaries of the various
groups in the foreign towns through
which he had to pass and SO, not
knowing anything Of the languages, he
had Travelled through several conti-
mental countries, seeing all that was
to be seen with the help of various
Esperanto friends, and finally ar
rived in England. He knocked at

There Is no water in those arid re

Enough water could be carried for

Now the difficulty is overcome by
the enormous traction engine, which

carries great tanks of water. 1t is
harnessed 10 a train of large trucks
and can run almost Independently of
