and with his wife and daughter proceeded imme-
diateiy TO the White House. where he was prompt
In resuming HIS official duties The trip consumed
just fifty hours.
The day was spen. largely in conversation with
Mrs Roosevelt and Secretary Wright. At many
places along the road there were crowds who
waved their salutatons the train few by. The
PRESIDENT lost few opportunities to show his ar-
preciat1on of the interest thus manifested and
when he did not himself the people his wife
or daughter would call his attention them when
ne would respond by waving his handkerchief or
IlIting his hat. In conversation with his friends

Harrisburg. Penn. Feb 1s-when President
Roosevelt arrived here to-day he was greeted by a
large crowd, composed almost entirely of railroad
men, Appearing on the rear platform OF his pri-

road men, he said "'I like them as a class they
make the very best kind Of citizens They learn to
act on their own responsibility vet under
orders. They prompt and they accurate.
They go in order and they &c time-just so"
And 20 illustrate he cIapped his hands together,
allowing one to glide over the other rapidly The

voice, gave fair imitation of a train whizzing by.
This tribute was highly enjoyed by the railroad
men, and they applauded loudly.
