Washington, May l3.-Pres.
ROosevelt's trip through the west
and southwest ended at midnight.
All told he covered 5000 miles,
journeying through twelve states
and three territories. Summarize
ing the result Of the tour in the
president s own words:
Il left Washington a middllng
good American; | come back a
far better one.
There is possibly still more
truth in the statement that on the
trip he found multitudes Of mid
ding good Americans; that he
left them far better Americans for
having seen him even for a few
minutes and felt the influence Of
his personality. No one knows
this better than those who were
so fortunate as to be with him
and witness the enthusiasm with
which he was greeted by all re-
gardIess of political faith.
"The average American is a
pretty good fellow. and all we
need in this country is to get to-
gether and get acquainted" " This
was a favOrite expression Of the
president. and he found it cheered
to the echo from Texas to the
wilds wherein he made his camp
for the bear hunt.
"He S all right. This is the first
time I ever saw him. but he's my
man hereafter" =" Not few hun
dred times was this remark made
by his hearers. but thousands Of
times, and Just as frequently in
the south as in the north.
When "Col. Bill" Sterrett said
at Waco. "Why, | believe ROose-
Welt could be elected forever as
constable in this township, and a
constable gets closer to the grass
than a president he was only ex'
pressing in his picturesque Ian
guage the confidence which the
people Of Texas and elsewhere on
the trip have in the president as
a man.
This feeling explains why the
president has had made clear to
him in the course Of his journey
that the people in general are with

Patterson came back to her fond
mother this morning. More than
a year had elapsed since their last
meeting. Mans return was little
less than a triumph. With her
aged and devoted father, sister
Julia, and j. Morgan Smith,
Julia's husband, she arrived on
the early train from New York.
G. H. Patterson, her only brother,
met the party with carriages and
welcomed them home. There
was a great throng at the depot
to witness the arrival, and from
almost every veranda en- route
home greeting came to Nan. There
was an unbroken family reunion
at the breakfast table.
