meets the principal guest at the door
and sreets him by cordially shaking
hands with himself and bending low.
The obeisance is frequently carried to
the length of knocking the head on the
hoor. The guest watches the host out
OF the corner of one eye. and initiates
ms every motion with the precision of
drii!. Next he makes believe to sit
down ir the lowest room-the chair
on his own left nearest the door
against which, humility the host en-
phatically protests, motioning with
joined hands toward the dais. The
feiht is repeated and frustrated at each
successive chair until the ultimate
destination DWELL understood from the
outset by both pafties)-namely. the

member of the hosts train or staff
selects, in the order of importance, an

courtesies until he is safely piloted to

the party has at length been brought

The mistakes" Of the President.

a prominent Democratic newspaper
having expressed its belief that Presl-
dent Roosevelt will be defeated next
November. as result of the many
mistakes he has made since he mas
been in his high office. Leslie's Weekly
promptly accepts the challenge ana
proceeds TO enurnerate a few of the
mistakes" Here are some of them:
He ended the coal strike in 1902. gave
work to thousands Of miners and re-
duced the price of coal to millions of
Americans. He withdrew troops from
cuba and carried out the pledges made
with the people OF the island. He led
Congress to pass the national irrigation
act, which benefited every state AMI
territory of the West. He has made l
splendid attempt to enforce the Sher-
man antitrust act. He called halt on
England, Germany and Italy in their
projected attack on Venezuela ana
made them settle the trouble by arbl-
tration. He negotiated a treaty with
China and opened ports in the far East
TO the trade OF the United States. He
induced England to abroglte the cay
tOn-EulWer treaty. made treaty Wlt''
Panama and will soon start work on :,
canal that is To be American.
And ecli,'c iS right in adding That
the American people love Roosevelt for
the "miStakes' he has made, and VIII
elect him next November largely on
account of them. Even the Democratic
papers which are allowing that these
ana victories, rather than mistakes. try
to make their readers believe that IL is
Il case of luck on his part. But this
does not deceive any Intelligent reader.

has accomplished for the country have
not been the result of luck. but of saga
