to shake hands with Grant. The
stocky army officers cold gray eyes
filed with tears, and his shoulders
shook with emotion as he murmured

PAYS VISIT TO
DUKE OF AOSTA
Roosevelt and Duchess Swap Hunting
Yarns-WOman is a Noted
MimrOd.

Naples, April Cone of the most
interesting events in connection with
Theodore Roosevelt's brief stay in
this city was his visit to the palace
of the Duke of Aosta. The trip was
made in an automobile with Ambas-
sador Griscom.
On the way to the palace Mr..
Roosevelt confessed that this visit was
intensely interesting to him, not only
because of his desire to meet the
duke and duchess personally, but be-
cause of the official nature of the
meeting, the duke representing King
Victor Emmanuel.
Mr. Roosevelt was warmly well
coined at the palace entrance and the
duke received him in private, the two
conversing at great length concerning
affairs in the United States, the voy-
age just ended, the ex-president's
prospective hunting trip and the ex-
periences Of the Duke of the AbruzZi.
The duke expressed the hope that Mr..
Roosevelt would meet the Count OF
Turin, who is now on shooting ex-
petition in Africa.
Later Mr.. Roosevelt was presented
to the Duchess of Aosta, and they
conversed for some twenty minutes,
their conversation dealing almost en-
tirely with hunting in Africa, where
the duchess had spent some time. She
gave Mr.. Roosevelt many hints, which
he laughingly promised to carry out.
The room in which the meeting &C.
Cured was respondent with trophies
of the duchess African expedition, be-
ing hung with elephant tusks. deer
antlers and the skins of tigers and
lions, which, however, she would not
say had fallen before her gun.
The good impression was mutual,
as while Mr.. Roosevelt was charmed
with the duchess, the latter said after
his departure that the ex-president
was the most interesting American
she had ever met-she might almost
says, the most interesting man.
