 Well! we'll" he exclaimed, much excited. There must be some mis- take. Let's look at the passenger list
 Examination of the list showed my name and that of Maj. White as the occupants of the same room. The purser and went to the stateroom, and there in the doorway stood mild eyed young woman When the purser asked her if that was her room she glanced at him casually and replied that it was.
 But objected the officer, I have assigned this room to Maj. White. Have I the pleasure of speaking to his wife?

 No other medicine for woman's ills has received such widespread and un- qualified endorsement. No other med icine we know of has such a record of cures of female ills as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 For more than 30 years it has been curing female complaints such as inflammation, Liberation, local weak nesses, fibroid tumors, Irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration, and it is unequalled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life.

 After the first rush for cover the crowds were soon quieted The cleo tric power was cut off, and the excite ment soon was over.
 When quiet had been restored the president did not seem to mind the experience in the least. He stood smil- ing while the rain poured down. Thousands of men and women were drenched to the skin, and many prot y costumes worn by those in the parade and in the street were ruined.
 NThe parade was near it's conclusion when the cIoudburst came. The presi- dent remained until the last bedrag- gled float went by and then, entering his carriage, was driven back to the Selwyn hotel for change of clothes.

 To add to the turmoil and danger, there was a loud report and blind ing flash not fifty yards from the re- viewing stand. Just what caused the explosion is not known.
