of female guests, the members OF the

two orderlies and two cooks. There

Not an Expert With the Ski.
While, fortunately, there were no
accidents a number of amusing Incl
dents occurred. One Of them hap
pened during the presidents visit to
geyserland, few days ago. The
president and Mr.. Burroughs were on
skis and started to race down hill.
The snow was soft and Mr.. Bur
roughs, who had never used a ski be-
fore, soon found himself with his head
in the snow and his feet in the air.
He had hardly struggled to his feet
when the president repeated the per-
Torrance. Neither one was hurt.
On another occasion the president
had just commenced to shave himself.
when Mr. Burroughs discovered
flock of mountain goats jumping down
steep hill. He called the presidents
attention to the sight and Mr.. Roose-
welt came running out without hat or
coat and with his face covered with
lather

Mr.. Burroughs tells good story on
The president in connection with the

account of his flowing white whiskers,
heard strange call. He did not rec
ognize it and asked Bill Hoffer, the
guide and trapper. what it was.
That's an OWL" said Bill.
"Oh, no." replied the president and
Mr.. Burroughs, an owl does not
sound that kind of a call"
Thereupon the party started out to
