AT AN END
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT HAD MANY EXPERIENCES.
Stood on His Head in ths Snow While Photographer Was Handy. Spills Blood as Result of
 Revolver Practice.

Cinnabar, Mont, April 2S.-Presideht Rooseveh's vacation is at an end. He greeted the members of his party and a large number of people at the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel in Yellowstone Park today and tomorrow he will resume his tour. which is to end In Washington on June 5. The President. who arrived at Fort Yeliowstone yesterday, is the pie ture qf health. He speaks in enthusiastic terms of the park and of the good time he had while touring 1t.
 K Word had gone forth several days ago that he would meet the people living in the park and vicinity this morning and when he arrived at the Mammoth Springs Hotel where the reception was held. he found couple hundred men and women. The President addressed them briefly. speaking of the good time he had had during the past two weeks and then shook hands with each enc. He spent the rest of the day in inspecting the post and in riding horseback with Major Pitcner. Before starting tomorrow he will particl- pate In the laying of the cornerstone of the new gate at the northern entrance to the park. The President and all those who accompanied him on his tour of the park are delighted with the trip. No accident occurred to mar the pleasure of the party and for the most part they were favored with delightful weather John Burroughs, who accompanied the President most of the time, was also greatly benefited by his outdoor life and his face Is as bronzed as that of the President.
 The President spent most of his time in studying the habits of the different species of game that abound in the park. He also studied bird life with MT. Bur roughs and showed himself particularly well informed on this subject. MT. Bur roughs was able to show him only. one bird with which he was not acquainted. namely, the solitaire.
 While there were no accidents, a num- be: of amusing incid snts occurred. One of them happened during the Presidents visit to Geyserland a fiw days ago. The Pre- esident and MT. Burroughs were on skis and started to race down hill. The snow was soft and MT. Burroughs, who had never used ski, soon found him self with his head in the snow and his feet in the air. He had barely struggled to his feet when the Presid ant repeated the performance. Neither one was hurt. but Major Pitcher secured excellent pho tographs of the catastropae. which he has promised to have developed.
 On another occasion the President had just commenced to shave himself when Mir. Burroughs discovered flock of mountain goats jumping down a steep hill. He called the Presidents attention to the sight and MT. Roosevelt came running out without hat or coat and with his face covered with lather. He was more interested in seeing the goats perform than he was in getting the beard off his face
 The President had number of narrow escapes. One day in company with Ma jor Pitcher. ne fired revolver at a tree The weapon was defective and the empty shell flew back and struck the President on the cheek, drawing blood.

OFF THE ROCKY ROAD
DEMOCRATS THROUGH WITH IN-
 THERMAL DISsENsIoNS.
Senator John T. Morgan Talks of the Prospects of the Two Great Parties in the Next Ma"
 .tional Campaign.

Mobile, Ala, April 23.--Senator John T. Morgan arrived here today. As to politics, he says in an interview with The Register:
 President Roosevelt has gone into his hole and pulled 1t after him, so to speak. and we don't any of us know what is to be the result.
 '.The political situation at large strikes me about this way: The Democratic Par ty has had it's differences, its dissen- sions, its wrangles until 1t is well satis- fled to come together in a movement for success The Republican Party is now entering this rocky road that we have abandoned and it will likely get several knockdowns before it is through. SIt Is beginning its internal dissensions; we are through with ours.
 we must agree on a settled line of policy. The principles of the Democratic Party-its principles of the last hundred years-are such as receive the indorse- ment of the people of this country. If we stand by those principles we will win. There are a lot more Democrats in this country than Republicans because every Democrat has principle to account for his faith. while every Republican is .simp- ly an opportunist, who attempts to do what Is best for the moment, without thought for the future. Many men are on the lookout for opportunity to make hay while the sun shines. The people of sedate opinions and settled principles are with the Democrats when 1t stands by its old and honored principles" :"
