GOLDEN GATE GREE1S PRESIDENT
WELCOME TO CALIFORNIA.
Roosevelt Pays High Tribute to Late
President VIM. Mckinley and
the @. A. r. Veterans.

President Roosevelt was formally
welcomed to California before crowd
of 10000 people. In front of the Ho.
tel Casaloma at Redlands was packed
mass of humanity that stretched for
two blocks east and west. The en-.
thusiasm displayed must have remind.
ed the guest, in whose honor the dem.
onstratlon had been planned, that Cali.
fornla's hospitality really was what he
cared II to be. Carriages took the
President to the Casaloma Hotel while
thousands gathered In the streets. n
the corner opposite the balcony from
which the President spoke, 1900 school
children were seated on a grandstand.
They sang the national airs. President
Roosevelt was presented to Governor
Pardee and Lieutenant.Governor An.
derson. Mayor Fowler introduced
Governor Pardee. who In a brief ad.
dress welcomed the President to Cali
fornla. Assemblyman @. II. johnson
then delivered an address of welcome
In behalf of the State Legislature. The
great throng cheered itself hoarse
when the President arose to deliver
his address. IL was several minutes
before he could proceed. He said in
part: "Of all who are here to greet
me, | prize most the presence of these
men who fought in the great war (turn.
Ing toward the Grand Army Veterans)
Two years ago you welcomed here
your comrade and my chief the late
President Mckinley. He did his part
In war as i'm peace, and II It had not
been for the efforts that you and he
put forth. we would have had neither
an American country nor an American
President to-day. In war IL is neces.
gary to have arms and accoutrements
but the fundamental necessity Is TO
have men. You fought for liberty TN.
der the law. not license. You fought
for the freedom that makes every man
free Next ! greet the future. The
sight of these children convinces me
of the truth of n statement just made
to me by Governor Pardee. when he
said that In California there is nc
danger of race suicide. You have
done well in raising oranges, and
believe you have done better raising
children. Children. ! have Just one
word for you, and It will apply to the
older people as well. It is this: When
you play play hard. and when you
work, don't play at all. That's com
mon sense for all of you" The party
left Redlanls for San Bernardino
whore short stop was made. A night
was spent at Riverside. The Presi
dent stopped few minutes at Victor
Cal. He extended word of greeting
to the people assembled in the sta
tion and then boarded the engine on
which he made the run through the
canyon pass.

He Knew.

A pretty story Is told of the way in
which Nathaniel Hawthorne, when he
was consul at Liverpool, tested YAM
kee boy. The boy had gone to the
consul's Office to beg for passage
back to his home. He had gone abroad
to seek his fortune, ard. not finding 1t,
had become almost penniless.
He told clear story, but the clerk
who heard it doubted its truth.
you're not an American" he said
to the boy; but the applicant for
passage to America persisted in wait
ing at the Office until he saw Haw-
thorne himself.
At last the consul appeared, gave a
quick glance at the boy and began to
question him.
"You want a passage to American"
he asked.
"Yes, SIR" said the boy, eagerly.
"And you say you're an American"
Eyes, SIR"
"In what part Of America were you
born?"
"The United States, SIR"
what state?"
"New Hampshire, sir"
"What town."
Exeter, sir"
Hawthorne waited moment, and
then bent toward the boy.

town." he asked.
The boys eyes shone, and the home
sick longing In them deepened.
"Skim-milk Folsom, sir!" he cried.
'Tt's all right" said Hawthorne to
his clerk. Give him his passage"
And he shook the boys hand and bade
him Godspeed on his homewari way
with much heartiness.-Youth's

Ono moonligih night in June, 1Ng2,
while strolling Through the grounds,
with Mr. Charles i. McKim, one OF

that the sound Of tho music rolled up
the slopes to the attentive audience.
A year before we had observed the

patient. Miss Houston poured water
out of a pan into the patients face,
The water was poured fast and the
