Washington to see President Roosevelt
was reported a day or two ago by the

He is a butcher and since last August
had been employed in a Madison meat
market. On the morning of the day

Shortly after the arrival Of the pro-
prietor White left the place and about
half an hour later appeared at the door
of the market with Il suit case. To the
astonished proprietor he said:
II am going to Washington, d. c.; il
anybody asks you about it tell them

Before the proprietor could reply,
White had started for the depot, where
he took a train.
White is an Englishnan by birth. and
