From $50 o'clock till 1870 O'Clock the
eX-President and Mrs. Roosevelt stood
behind the justices railing I'm the town
clerks office and the townspeople filed
by. shaking hands and extending farewell
greetings.
II was great sight for oyster Bay.
Many Of the toNnspeople had not seen
their distin nSuished first citizen since he
relinquished his great Office and returned
here among them to become private
citizen of the privatest kind. They had
prepared rousing welcome for him the
night of his return from the National CAPT
tai but his train did not reach here until
half past | O'Clock in the morning. and
by that time three fourths of those VIII"
had come to welcome him had returned /"
their homes. So last night many "f the
villagers combined their greetings OF wei
come home with wishes of farewell. An
hour before the time set for the recep-
tion the doors of the town hall were be
sieged by a large and eXpeCtant crowd.
At each of the churches Ienten services
had been held during the evening ami
at their conclusion the people hurried tn

Roosevelt Banners and Buttons.

Street vendors of novelties had carly
come TO town from New York with
large supply of Roosevelt banners and
buttons left over from the 1904 CAM
paign and 1905 inauguration, and added
not little to the general animation. They
had little trouble i'm disposing of their
leftover wares to the natives, who seized
upon the opportunity of securing n last
souvenir bearing the former President 5
portrait with eagerness. Buttons. ban
ners and medals which the dealers had
supposed would become loss sold
quickly.
Notwith hstandng the announcement
that the reception was TO be given for
Oyster Bay residents only, many persons
from nearby towns and others from
distance came to the village Ia attend
These finally secured admission To the
town hall and shook hands with Mr.. and
Mrs. Roosevelt. Among them were a
number who had known Mr.. Roosevelt
for many years and who felt that they
were entitled to join his neighbors in to-
nights demonstration of friendship and
good will.
For every one the eX-President had
hearty greeting and with many he chatted
pleasantly for a minute or more. Remi-
niscences We're numerous between MIR.
Roosevelt and the older men, who had
known him since early age. Almost
every mother in the village brought her
children, for they all know the former
President is a great admirer of children.
He was especially pleased TO see them.

Glad to See Friends.

$50 glad to see you again." was what
the former President had to keep repeat
ing. This he varied with ITS a great
pleasure to see you and other phrases
One young lady passing through the line
wore Teddy bear pinned on her coat
This Mr.. Roosevelt spied at once, and IL
brought forth a merry laugh and the re-
mark: "AlI the Teddy bears are not dead
yet, are they?"
When Mr.. Roosevelt saw the young boys
he was particularly pleased. Some told
him they wished him success In shooting
lions. and he responded that he knew
he would be successful.
Just as the end of the line came by
stander. who had been posing as news
paper reporter. went up to Mr.. Roosevelt
and holding out a number of papers ask
ed him TO sign his name. Mr.. Roosevelt
declined saving he did not know what
the papers he was asked To sign con
taincd The papers tho man held were
dropped at Mr.. Roosevelt's feet and the
man hurried out.
II was found that the papers were
court order directing the taking of Nj
Roosevelt's deposition in the case Of Peter
A. Juley agt. the Town Topics Publishing
Company. The case is one growing out
of the publication Of biographical book
called "Fads and FancieS. in which Mr..
Roosevelts picture and biography ap-
peared, it is alleged. without hs authorize
ton Mr. Roosevelt declared that the
court could have his deposition at any
time during the next week.
Looks Well and Happy.
The former President looked in the best
of health and very happy. Mrs. Roos"-
welt also looked well She wore black
satin dress with white Vshaped yoke.
The bodice was trimmed with silver
beads about her neck. She wore a string
of pearls doubled. from which hung n
beautiful diamond pendant. 4 black pic
ture hat and veil completed her costume.
She never looked better the women of
the village said.
Fully a thousand people shook hands
with Mr. Roosevelt, and when the re-
ception was over he declared he enjoyed
II equally as well as the receptions at the
White House. He had met here his old
friends and neighbors and men whom he
had been brought up with thirty years
ago.
At the conclusion of the reception the
former President and Mrs. Roosevelt
drove back to Sycamore HILL and the
neopJe of the town returned home salts
fed with having again greeted personally
their first citizen.
No Part in Politics.
Former President Roosevelt declared
last night that he is taking no part in
nolitics. He made this statement when
asked whether he is supporting the 'in-

In the Receiving Line.

Among those who stood in the receiving
line with Mr.. and Mrs. Roosevelt was
Representative W. W. Goes, who repre-
sents this district. 4 number of the
towns officials and prominent citizens
also were in the reception party. When
Mr.. and Mrs. Roosevelt drove up to the
town hall there was a rOusing cheer from
the many people waiting outside. The
former President and his wife hurried in
side. and when Mr.. Roosevelt had laid his
fur coat aside he inspected the arrange
ments for the reception. These did not
please him and he had them rearranged,
SO that the people would pass in one door
and out another. He stood beside the
gate at the rail of the Justices court. with
Mrs. Roosevelt at his side. The people
filed by in single columns. Soon he was
busy shaking hands and exchanging
greetings. The line, composed of mon.
women and children. moved slowly. be

to almost every one
A tall colored youth was one of The
first to come along. He remarked to Mr..
Roosevelt: I've carried the Roosevelt
banner in two campaigns and ] hope |

To this Mr.. Roosevelt replied, smiling
