JUST TO SHOW CRITICS
President Rides Ninety-eight Miles on
~ Horseback in One Day.. H.

Washington. Jan. 14.-President
Roosevelt rode ninety-eight miles on
horseback and when he dismounted
at the White House door, more than
seventeen hours after having depart
ed therefrom, he did not show any
marked signs of WEAKNESS. The OBJ
!ect Of his long day in the saddle. he
explained after his return, was to
prove to the critics who have found
fault with the recent order ordering
all army and navy officers to take q
physical test, that if a president, who
is not in training, can ride ninety
miles plus in one day without being
laid in bed thereby. it should not he
too much to ask the men who are
supposed to be in the best physical
training all the time to ride ninety
miles in three days."
In less than an hour after return
Ing to the White House the president
had changed his ice-coated clothing
for evening dress and appeared in
the dining room ready for as hearty
4 meal as he has eaten for a long
time.

Tide With Awful Fofee.

dlenwood Springs, Colo. Jan. 18.--
More than a score Of people were
killed and twice that number injured
n a collision at Dotsera siding, about
twenty miles east Of this city. be-
tween Denver and Rio Grande pas
senser train No. 5, w%estbound, and
freight No. Sc, eastbound.
1t is said the wreck was caused by
the failure of Engineer Gus Olson of
the passenger train to correctly read
the time indicated by his watch. When
nearing Dotsero Olson looked at his
watch and read the time to be 9:45
p. m. It was then $50. Thinking he
had plenty of time to make the next
siding below Dostero he pulled the
throttle of his engine wide open and
was making forty-ive miles an hour
on a down grade when he collided
with the freight, which was labori-
ously climbing the hill under a full
head of steam Of two big engines.
The three big engines telescoped
and when they came to 4 standstill
resembled one huge piece of twisted
steel and iron rods and mechanism.
The combination baggage and .ex-
press car, the smoker and the day
coach, which followed the engine,
telescoped, while the three heavy
Pullman sleepers and diner crushed
them into a mass against the engine.
The day coaches were smashed. Ev-
cry person except one in the chair
car was killed. Eight of the passen-
gers were decapitated as though by a
%guillotine, their heads rolling from
their bodies. Most Of the bodies of
the dead are mutilated SO badly that
Identification may take many hours.
The only person to escape in the
chair car was Alice Williams, four
years old, from some point in Iowa.
She was found under her dead mother,
slightly bruised and covered from
head to foot with blood. The child
was taken to Glenwood Springs on
the relief train.

rheumatism troubled him, and with
his back bent the father opened the
door to his only son. Solomon worked

his father as an oracle and to listen
unquestioningly to all his platitudes.
In this he had always been aided by

fostered his belief in the wonderful

Solomon Beardsley sat tilted back in
his big rocking chair with his feet
upon a stool before the glowing base

His wife was in the kitchen beyond
finishing her homework before going

sit down in the parlor, and, besides,
there was no easy chair for her. AS
she came through the room an anxious
look crept over her face and into her
