President Excuses Himself.
President Roosevelt's last speech
was to express his sincere gratitude to
the people of Ottumwa for the SPLEEN
did reception they accorded him. He
| said that words were inadequate to tell
how much he appreciated the show OF
respect and regard and that he regret
! ted deeply his inability to remain at
/ the banquet table longer. However, as
he had heen speaking since early in the
morning, and would begin again early
today, he felt compelled to go to rest
Amid applause from everyone about the
tables, he left the room accompanied
by Mayor Picker and the newspaper
men of his party. Preceded by pla
toon of police he repaired to his car al
the foot of Washington street, salutine
the people who stood along the edge o.
the walk to get last glimpse OF MS
face Accompanied by Assistant Sec
, rotary Barnes, he mounted to the real
platform of his palatial car, the ELY
sian" and there made his last farewell
TO the people of Ottumwa. Raising his
hat he bowed and said: Ladies ant
gentlemen, good night to you all.

Another Joke indicated.

A stranded thespian troupe, liter
ally walking the railroad ties be-
tween Utica and Rome, in New York,
were arrested as suspicious charac-
tiers" on Monday, says the New York
World. Those who would regard
stranded actors as suspicious charac-
tiers are themselves guilty, for "sus-
picion ever haunts the guilty mind. .
One who could not tell that an actor
was an actor could hardly tell any
thing. The spectacle of company of
them walking railroad ties was such a
vindication of satirical paragraphs
and of comic journalism that for a
country constable not to realize the
fact was both strange and inexcus-
able. 1t either indicates the decline
Of comic journalism or it's failure to
penetrate the recesses of the minds

the completion of which occupied q
years, is to be demolished by the au.

Among the numerous valuable speci

Mrs. Tibbs took the card by one
corner and slipped it into box 46.
Several weeks followed before the
climax was reached. Whenever a
postal card came from Jack, the
women Of the village happened in,

ready to lay the card on the table,.

the benefit of the masses" and not so
much for the occupants of the Presi-
Dental mansion as might be expected.
The basement Of the east wing has
been changed from a huge lumber and
store room into what some might call
a public-cOmfort building. as it con-
tains several large apartments for
women, as well as cloak rooms where
the wraps Of 5000 people can be cared
for while they are greeting the host
and hostess at receptions. In the past
public receptions meant standing in
rows three or four blocks long, for as
many hours or more, often exposed to
rain and snow, until one at last found
shelter in the main entrance, and an
hour or so later shook hands with the
Chief Magistrate and passed out. To
relieve this crowding and discomfort,
especially to women, the guests in frl-
ture. will approach the receptions
through the basement passageway now
being completed. which will shelter
fully 1000 people, if not more. Their
wraps will be checked by attendants.
and tbay will pass on to the reception
apartment by two stairways-one for
members Of official circles, such as the
diplomatic corps, members of Congress,
military and naval officers. ETC., and
another for the general public, large
enough so that the human current can
flow along rapidly and easily. After
leaving the reception they can reach
the cloak rooms by other passages and
rest themselves in the retiring rooms,
or depart at once To sum it all up,
those who appreciate the honor of the
invitation which is extended the peo-
pie at large to pay their respects to the
head Of the nation, will no longer be
treated like mob assembled on the
street, but will be shown the courtesy
that IS accorded guests at any Ameri-
can home whether they are miners
from Alaska, bankers from Wall Street
or lumbermen from the piney woods of
Maine.
