Mr.. Golloupe went TO the cove in an

forgot TO tell Mr.. Carpenter about their
visit, and so they arrived only in time
to see the three automobiles drive out
containing the President and his party.
But when the old man got back ne was
pretty proud that he made the trip just
tho same, and he Strengthened out a few
just TO show that he has really been liv-
ing here for eight-one years.
One thing he said was that the soldiers
who rowed Washington across the Della
