Although the season is half over visitors
and every boarding house and hotel is
crowded to Its capacity. The village has
some attraction Of its own, but it's great
drawing card, Of course, Is the fact that
=
very few summer visitors leave who do not
boast that they have seen the President at
least once, either at church Sunday or at
his home at Sycamore Hill. Some of the
Presidents admirers are so persistent that
they cause him annoyance. Such was the
case yesterday when a midde-aged man
with a woman tried to get as close to the
President as possible In church, and, failing
to get within dozen pews Of him, hurried
out of church and waited at the entrance
for him to pass
The man was so insistent that several Sc
cret service men became alarmed and
crowded about to see that they did no
harm. Another of the Presidents warm ad-
mirers came last week. He was young
army officer from Washington, and applied
for board at a cottage on South street. The
visitor was anxious to stay in a place that
had some presidential association. and,
therefore, jumped at the chance to occupy
room which Secretary Loeb once occu-
pied before he became a property holder.
Are you sure that Mr. Loeb slept in this
bed?" the army officer asked the boarding
house lady in an awesome tone. ION. this
identical bed was tha proud reply, land
this is the chair he sat in
They Supplied Him.
AS soon as he got located the visitor
started on a systematic search for Roose-
veltiana. If there is one thing that the
Oyster Bayite enjoys more than another it
is the opportunity to practice upon the
credulity Of a hero-worshiper. Therefore, il
did not take long for the rumor to get
,, tbar ynfi,, ha; hx.

and when he left he took away the follow
ing articles: One musty rabbit skin, al

dent Roosevelt when a boy; one stuffed owl,
said to have been shot by President Roose-
welt in 1875; three cracked birds eggs, said
