through all the mental atmosphere
waiting waves Of contentment anc
pleasure as far as they reach. Wt
know what sweet wholesomeness
seems to be exhaled BY the mere pres

harmonies OF their minds permeatine
the mental and moral atmosphere.
II is by the power OF such gentle
and healthful influences as these thai
we give our finest sympathy TO ths

Respect for Roosevelt
