President Roosevelt and Party
Given q Fine Treat.
From o q. m. Until O p. m. the Dis
tinguished Guests Were Hurried
from Building 10 Building-
Back TO Washington.

st. Louis, Nov. 2S.-Not an unpleas-
ant incident marred the day President
Roosevelt spent at the worlds fair.
The announcement that the nations
chief executive would visit the ex-
position drew tremendous throngs and
to guard him from possible danger
that might menace him. secret service
men, soldiers and police guards
Abounded. They had comparatively
little to do, however, In preserving
order. This is marvellous" he said.
1T is beyond description and exceeds
my fondest expectations. l have had
the best time ever had in my life
and have seen more than / ever ex-
pected to see in one days time"
From ten o'clock in the morning I'M
til six o'clock in the evening the dis
tinguished visitors, following an ar
ranged schedule, hurried from one
building to the next, from one part OF
the grounds to another and overlooked
nothing OF interest From the start
to the end of the tour, Mrs. Roosevelt
and Miss Alice Roosevelt accompa-
MED the president and fatigue was
forgotten in the enjoyment. When
the party reached the Philippine reser-
walton at 4:30 p. m, the chief execu-
tive was loaded with gifts. One Fill
Pine chief gave the president his
priced knife.
In sharp contrast with the strenu-
GUS experience Of Saturday, when a
hurricane effort was made to view the
mammoth fair In nine hours, President
Roosevelt's time Sunday was passed
quietly and uneventfully. Rest and
recuperation from the fatigue OF Satur-
day constituted almost the sole idea OF
the President and Mrs. Roosevelt anc
their immediate party. After a late
family breakfast at the residence OF
William H. Thompson, the treasurer
Of the exposition company, the presi-
dent and party attended divine service
at II o'clock in the Second Presbyte-
rian church. 1t was known that the
president would attend the morning
service at this church and long be-
fore the hour OF his arrival the streets
in that vicinity were banked with peo-
pie almost from curb to curb.
At four o'clock the party went for
an extended drive. The drive extended
through Forest park and over the resi-
Dental boulevards in that section OF
the city. 1t was $3.50 o'clock when the
president returned TO Mr.. Thompson's
residence. AS soon as the president
was recognized in his carriage people
followed him in vehicles Of all sorts,
principally automobiles. On his re-
turn trip the president was followed
by a procession containing more than
200 vehicles. At night the president
and Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Roose-
Welt were entertained at dinner at
eight o'clock by Mr.. and Mrs. Francis
ut their residence. At 1915 they left
in carriages for the exposition grounds,
where their special train had been
held, awaiting their departure for
Washington.
Promptly on schedule time the spe-
cial train carrying President Roose-
Welt, his wife and daughter and the
members of his party departed for
Washington at 1901 Monday morning.

fifteen years by combination Of all
ments following The birth of our first.
child. The food she ate fermented in
her stomach, she had frequent dizzy
spells, her limbs were swollen and pain
full, her nerves were quite shattered, She
was unable to sleep and she was many
times on the verge Of heart failure.
"Physicians gave her only temporary
relief. Finally the favorable reports Of
some relatives aud neighbors led her
to make trial of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. She expert
rienced improvement almost at once.
They relieved her sleeplessness, the.
mothering sensations have disappeared
and have not annoyed her for years.
They freed her from stomach trouble
and the dropsical tendency was miti-
gated. The progress Of the rheuma-
tism, which had begun to make her
fingers crooked, was stayed and the pain
was banished. In every respect they
gave her more help than any other rem
edy she had ever used, and she is today
, in better health than for many years.
CDR. Williams Pink Pills are our stu
pie household remedy, andI am in the
habit of recommending them to all who
suffer from troubles like those which af-
aicted my wife,"
