IN RAINCOAT
AND PAJAMAS

LITTLE ROCK. Ark, Oct. 25.-
President Roosevelt made his first ap-
pearance in Arkansas at Carlisle, clad
mainly in a raincoat large crowd
OF people and steady downpour OF
rain greeted him. 1t was the first rain
he had encountered on his present trip
but it neither dampened the srdor OF
the crowd at Carlisle, nor chilled his
own spirits. He was dressing when the
little town was reached, and at first
did not intend to go out on the plat
form for there was no stop schedule
there. But the country folk for miles
around knew the train of the presi-
dent would stop there for water and
sent an urgent message to Secretary
Loeb, asking that they be given an
opportunity of hearing the executive.
In some unaocOuntable manner the
telegram did not reach the secretary
until after the president had retired d
for the night, after hard night In
Alabama aud Mr.. Loeb did not feel
justified in waking him. AS the train
stopped at Carlisle the crowd let loose
q chorus of cheers, a whistle some
where in the neighborhood set up an
awful screeching and the president
had no lingering doubt that large
portion of his constituency was de-
msnding his presence. He sent for
Secretary Loeb and asked him the
name of the town and the cause of the
unscheduled demonstration.
"Thsy are expecting to see you, Mr..
President" replied Mr.. Loeb, then
explained the situation.
"But I'm not dressed. I'm not fit
to be seen. can't appear in psjamas,
exclaimed the president.
"Why not put on rain coat?" ask
ed the secretary.
SO the president did and made the
Carlisleites little speech from the
platform of the Signet
Just before the train left Birming
ham last night Secretary Loeb anu
local detective had an argument which
resulted in the sleuth's discontinue.
The detective rushed up to the presi
dents carriage in the gloom and the
secretary warned hun away.
"I'm secret service man." cried
the stranger.
Il don't care who you are" replied
the secretary. "You must not get too
near the president. "
The man advanced in spite of wcrn-
ing and received staggering blow
from the secretary's fist. He made
a..misdirected kick at the secretary's
shins which struck nothing more solid
than the atmosphere, then fell back
into the crowd uttering maledictions.
The presidents train reached Fort
Root at 3 O'Clock.

MINOR MATTERS

a real curiosity is on exhibition at

shape of two good sized pumpkins,
which are grown together much after
the fashion of the Siamese twins. Both
are perfectly formed and are separate
and distinct with the exception of a
space some three inches square where
the contact occurs. The twin pump
kins were raised on the farm of George

Another curiosity shown at Mr..
Garrisou's store is red beet which
has attained al abnormal size, weigh

Snyder is having concrete pavem ent
laid in front of his dwelling on Grand

tract. All such improvements are to
be commended, as it is fact much to
be deplored that on many of the iess
important streets of town good pave
ments are rather the exception than
the rule and walking out after dark Is
a rather hazardous undertaking.
