0tFFERENTt.Y.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. March 8. =
It Is the opinion of Senator Depew that
President Roosevelt Is the strongest
Presidential possibility in the country
today.
Champ Clark. of Missouri, believes
no man will be elected for a third term
until the country is upon its last legs,
Both opinions were expressed at the
White House Just after those who ut.
tered them had left the office of Presi.
dent Roosevelt. u.
There is no equalization upon any
other man than Roosevelt" said Sen.
ator Depew. "He is the strongest man
in the country"
HE may take the nomination" said
Congressman Clark, .but I'll be sor-
ry to see him do SO, for no man will
ever be elected President for the third
time until this republic is on its last
legs-and that time Is long way of. .

"a record in pedestrianfsm for young.
sters Of their age, by walking Ave
miles through the mud to the Ever.
green hotel. The police departments
of both cities were kept basy by the
inquiries of the fond parents until a
telephone message about s o'clock last
night told that the little fellows were
safe.
Just how the boys accomplished
their remarkable feat cannot be clear
ly learned from their story. All they
know is that they started out for a
walk and became lost. They kept on
walking, however, not losing heart un-
til the hotel was reached. Mr.. Sitter,
the proprietor, took them In and tele-
phoned the Allegheny police telling
of their safety.
They were returned to their homes
last night in an automobile and seem
