Mr.. Harvey Cain Writes Mr. Roose-

deared Himself 10 All LHbOreTs.

Harvey Cain, employed on the govern
ment force in the Canal Zone. has writ
ten 10 his father J. Fendan Cain. Of
this city. giving some interesting and new
s;deIlghts on the Presidents visit lie
says:
The President has come and gone
Shortly after noon last "Wednesday the
three big ships dropped anchor in the
harbor. and a salute Of twenty-one guns
was fred from the dock at CristobaL At
night there was a band concert and gen
eraI celebration. while the President re-
ceived all the big officials aboard ship.
Roosevelt seemed much dispIeased with
the programme mapped out for him. and
never followed Il at all. He was to come
ashore at a. m. Thursday. but when the
people gathered at that hour they found
he had come ashore and was on his way
to the other side Only a few workmen
were there TO meet him.
He was 10 go from CristobaI TO Paua-
ma. but instead ne made friends with the
engineer and told him 30 go to la Boca
Thcy prepared luncheon for him al An
con, but be said. What is the use Of
going away over there?' and into the
mess hail he went, and took lunch with
tho mechanics.
The next morning at s o'clock Mr.
Shonts and Mr.. Stevens invited him for a
stroll through the Culebra Cut, but be
told them he had been there At daybreak
and enjoyed the walk very much. He
went to every steam shovel and stopped
and had a talk with everybody
E-rr-rf~o N.s
before it stopped, and without waiting
for Stevens and the rest. he ran uD the hin
and into all the quarters. Instead Of
going in at the front door OF the hotel
he went into the kitchen 10 see how they
prepared things.
At CristObal he saw everything pOssi-
ble 20 be see:s. His horse was always a
square ahead of the rest. In short he
saw more OF his visit of three days than
any other man could see in ten. He was
up at a. m. and did not retire until
nearly midnight. He called meetings and
talked with all classes Of people. He
gave the poor devils the same Say as
Mr. Stevens and asked al some very
embarrassing questions
The ball Saturday night was grand
affair. and his speech was simply great
He left about 900. and all are now in
fine spirits. As ne boarded the little
launch 90 go out 70 the Louisiana. he
yelled back. Il would like TO stay with
you another week. boys, but I've got TO
set back 10 my job. So it's 3 for me-"
The occasion viii be put down by eli
as memorable one, and the charming
b0nhomie Of the President imprinted on
every heart no less than his striking mas
culinc pose, bold visage, and straight
forward address inspire in all a deep

Callers These Days.

There is probably no buster man in the
country than the Secretary of War Mr..
Taft has on his hands dozens and dozens
Of questions which need immediate atten-
ton, and he is rushed to keep UP with
his work
The return Of the President has made
it all the harder. Then there is his annual
report. The War Department covers so
much ground-nOt only the army, but the
Philippines, Panama, and, just now,
Cuba-that the report is 4 big job in it
self. With all this. Mr.. Taft has been
driven 10 desperation.
Yesterday he had every door leading
into his suite of Offices Iocked-on the in
side-and refused absolutely to see all
visitors. Every now and then he rushes
over to the White House and dispOses Of
some matter and then back to the War
Department or home for q necessary
