Schedule Smashed and He Remained
More Than Hour--Air Too Cold
to Risk Early Morning
Plunge in Pool
IS GREETED BY LARGE CROWD

City, Il few years ago. As | was going
along in my bathing suit, | heard one
man say 10 another, If | was as fat
as that man. | would take my bath in
private Thus | refrain from taking
Il public bath His talk was entirely
along general lines, no reference being
of the day. He urged that children be
taught patriotism and said that one
needed no better evidence that this is
united country where all wear the
same kind of clothes and all talk the
same language, than is given by trip
across the continent from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. He offered apology for
the ten minutes delay at the depot AMI
someone in the crowd announced that
Glenwood was Just AS sorry for him
having TO get up so early as he was 70:
the people Again the Taft smile was
swallowed up and a hearty laugh by the
president followed. He spoke of his
trip through the state and said the
Colorado people We're leading him a
three days work in one. He mentioned
the stage of his journey from Pueblo
to Glcnwood and spoke of his rest be
ing disturbed by whistles and people
calling him as his train passed through
the Cloud City.
Following his. address the president
was taken for a walk through the
parks around the swimming pool and
hot water springs. He expressed in
tercst in the mineral water as it boiled
from countless springs and upon reach
ing the big Yampah spring, he stool
and watched the boiling water for
few minutes. Although he may have
noticed the peculiar odor of the water,
he said nothing that others than th,
few nearest him could hear. He did
not. however. take drink of the
water. After the trip through tn.
house. where the carriages We're in
waiting and the president was taken to
his train and was soon waving a good
bye to the Glenwood people AS he stool
on the rear platform of his car. In
turn Glenwood chcered him and wished
him God speed and safe return 70
Washington.
The train pulled out of Glenwood at
7:1O thus the regular schedule was
smashed and instead of the president
remaining but forty-ive minutes, he
was here for one hour and ten minutes.
Sheriff Won Phul of Teller county,
who came to the city early this week,
appeared on the streets after the pres.-
dent S train had arrived, but no sooner
was he seen by the twenty sheritfs of
Colorado, who are with the president
on his trip through the state, than he
was captured, handculred and placed
on board the special train and taken
on to Grand Junction. Just before the
train left. Edward r. Taylor, congress
man TT large from Colorado, and w. f..
NaIlatt were tdilti anu "Sso
asked by the president to accompany
him to Montrose The two gentlemen
gladly accepted the very kind invita-
tion and thus Glcnwood was honorei
not only by having as her guest Presi-
dent Taft. but two of her sons were nj
such sterling worth as to merit the
entire trust and confidence of the ma
tion S executive.
