President Roosevelt came across
for a fve-dollar tag that allowed him
TO take his customary drive on horse

was tagged twice. A beautiful young
woman held him boldly in front Of the
White House Friday, which was a day
in advance of Official time for the free.

But he forgot the tag when he saun'

Young Quentin Roosevelt made q

and White House grounds to finish.
The girls then ventured into the sa

posed of from 63 10 63%. This stock has
been quiescent of late. much of the time
for the past three months no bid or asked
