y RAND ISLAND, Neb., Aug 26.-
The west gave former President
Roosevelt a warm greeting to-
day. The people gathered in crowds at
all places at which he stopped in his
journey across Iowa and part of Me-
braska, rang bells. footed whistles,
played bands and cheered.
They stood on roofs, climbed teIe-
graph poles and scrambled on top of
cars on the sidings to see him when
the crowds on the ground grew so
large that there was no other way.
They began their welcome before
Colonel Roosevelt was out of bed, and
kept it up until long after dark When
the day was done. Colonel Roosevelt
said he was greatly pleased by the
way the people of the west had well
coined him back again.
Speeches Wanted Everywhere
He will arrive in Cheyenne. Wyo., in
the morning and will make the second
set speech of his western tour there in
the afternoon at the cowboys carnival
The colonel was up early; he had to
be, for he was called out of bed by
people of Marshalltown, Iowa, who had
gone to the station before breakfast to
see him and would not be denied. Clad
in a rain coat and slippers. he made
the first speech of the day at 6;45 this
morning
From then on it was almost con-
tinuous performance, for at every point
at which the train stopped a speech
was demanded. The colonel kept on
talking until his voice began to grow
husky and he was urged to stop. At

the back platform, and with his arm

The train pulled out, leaving the
people standing there in open mouthed
disappointment.

Roosevelt was allowed less than a
minute for his speech. but he made
such good use OF it that thereafter
attempts to suppress his speeches were
given up.
The manager of a wild west show
on exhibition at Grand Island, Neb..
wired the agent in charge of the
Roosevelt train. urging him not TO stop
there, for fear there would be no one
at the show, which began five minutes
after the time set for the coloneFs

here and it looked as though most of
the town was on hand He made

Grand Island went to the show.

Fight for Old Guard
Earlier in the day he issued state
ment in regard to the New York pro-
gressives and denouncing bossism and
corrupt alliances between business and
politics. SuppIementing this statement
later he declared that he would not
permit the ~old guard" of New York

that the great issue was not the fight

Side Door of Facts

AS I wired you yesterday the reply
Of Roosevelt TO Hemenway's report a
copy Of which ! mailed you yesterday
in the post, assures favorable action
by the senate to the committees re-
quest to go into a full investigation
Of the secret service. Every one says
the senate will undoubtedly authorize
this before the close of this session,
and if il does it is all we can expect,
for it will open up completely your
whole case
Other references in the letter show
that Perrin's agents were busy bonn
harding the committee, which from the
context indicates it to be the same
one that requested the secret service
investigation.

The letter formed a portion Of eyi-

man, representing Smell, wished TO lay
before Senator Stone, but who was pro-
hibited from doing So Stone would
have none of it. He cut Boardman
short and the later. thoroughly dis
Eusted at the entire proceedings
withdrew from the case. AS he did so
he remarked:
1T is evident that the information
I have 10 present TO this committee is
not the material which it wants"
So saying, he staIked out of the
room, followed by Smell. Prevented,
however, from laying bare some of the
salient facts in the investigation by
the action Of Senator Stone, he decided
TO make the letter public
OF peculiar interest are the refer
ences in the letter to the senatorial
storm which broke about the ears OF
Roosevelt just before he left the
White House. The comments OF VIII
lisms indicate that the famed secret
service investigation toward the close
OF 1903 over which there was SO much
ado was industriously famed by Doc

ciferous opposition of the standpat ele-
ment was Perrin. Thus the letter reads

Suggestions to the Housewife

Some people have difficulty in keeping the washable suede or chamois gloves soft and pliable. After washing in warm suds and then rinsing the gloves in clear tepid water, rinse them a second time in cleaI water and then rub plenty of soap into them, drying them without rinsing out this soap. The soap is what gives the gloves the desirable pliability.
 Yolks of eggs may be kept a day or two if, as soon as separated from the whites, they are put in bowl and GOV cred with water, a plate being put over the bowl to exclude all air possible.
 One who ought to know says that in selecting poultry 1t is wise to see that the beak and claws of the fowl are soft. moi stiff and horny, if you would have . tender bird.
 The careful housekeeper brings out the linen from the linen closet and chest to hang 1t in the warm sunshine on a breezy spring day. It not only freshens 1t won- derfuly, but will help to keep it white.
 Silverware with dull finish. is best cleaned with ordinary baking soda. Wet brush. rub little soap on it and then dip 1t in the dry soda and polish the sill yer well.

The Chantecler" Craze

Imagine it! Just z common barnyard rooster and yet he is the new fashion Iad or the hour" says Grace Margaret Gould in Woman's Home Companion for June Perhaps, in days gone by. before Edmund Rostand's play, 'Chantecler' electrified Paris, there were roosters seat tered here and there in prosperous-look- ing barn yards who thought themselves quite the finest things ever in their own ieathered world. Vain and domineerine they were, but never, oh, never. In their widest dreams of the happy future did they picture themselves strutting into the fashion world of both Paris and New York
 And yet that is just what has han pehed. Since Rostand chose the fowls of the barn yard for the characters in his play, the fair Parisicnne has been wear Ing the chantecler hat in varied forms She has gazed at you in her most be- witching way through the hlmy meshes of her veil with it's startling rooster de- sign. Her newest silk jacket suggests a rooster's tail in shape, her parasol has rooster's head for its handle, and every where this barn yard king seems to reign supreme In the realm of fashion
 Curious and startling, isn't it? And vet our American girls are doing likewise The chantecler fad is upon us. but 1t is safe to say it is only passing fancy"

Travelling


 The travelling woman used to be scoffed at for the number of her bandboxes. and humorists delighted to exercise their tal- ents upon the subject. Though her lug gage may take different form in these days, 1t has not lessened In quantity, and 1t Is sometimes imagined that she is therefore. more troublesome to railway officials than men, But such is not the case, 1t appears. "A woman doesn't wait until the whistle has blown before she tries to catch her train," says one official and that's what men generally do. We often have to bully a man to get him into his train at all. Most women get to the station at least a quarter of an hour before the time. have their baggage seen to and get comfortably settled in the train before 1t starts Of course. elderly women are sometimes fussy. but l don't know that, they're any worse than elderly men,.

Never Hide Your Latch Key
 Under the Doormat

Several days ago a woman went into . shop and said she wished to look at something neat and tasty in doormats. When asked if she desired a plain mat or one with "Welcome" on it. she said she didn't care particularly. as she was buying 1t to hide her door key under.
 When asked then. why she did not buy a potted fern to hide her door key under, the potted fern being more decorative when placed on the window sill. she re. piled that a potted fern requires so much care A doormat on the other hand, re- ol,ires almost no care at all.
 The only objection to doormats as hid ing places for keys is the presence of doorrnat thieves, who pick up a doormat and run off with it, leaving the door key entirely exposed, so that anyone who hap pens along may pick it up and 20 right into the house without so much as By your leve" says Woman's Life.

Honorary Colonel

Queen Mary of England will be made honorary colonel of the Bluecher Illus sars In this respect she will be like the German and the Russian expresses in accepting military honors in foreign regi- ynents. It is said this distinction will pleace the queen immensely, because in the reign of Edward VII neither she nor her husband was permitted to figure prominently in the public eye. Edward VII was jealous in this respect. Perhaps he felt the popular patriotism demanded the presence of the king in important affairs. and accordingly he seldom dele gated his son and the Princess of Wales to represent him. In this respect the king obeyed vigorously his idea of king and now that he Is dead, George comes out with less confidence and less appre- citation of the public than usual. Queen Mary, despite her devotion to her home and a quiet life, keenly enjoys the dis. tinction and the honors of her station and many of her most intimate friends prophecy she will prove extremely pop ular

A Factor in Living

Over rice in this part of the world not one-half the talk is made that focused on wheat. yet In the whole world there is almost as much rice eaten as wheat. Latest estimates place the worlds wheat crop at about 190, 600 000,00O pounds; rice. 175, 600, ,0O0,0 ,00o, says Golfers Weekly. Rice growing and rice consumption have in- creased rapidly in the United States. For instance. the rice production in this coun- try in the last decade has equaled that of the half-century immediately preced- ing. Tn 1908 over 500 oo0,000 pounds were raised. Texas and Louisiana together produced more than 90 per cent of the total As the amount exported has not increased, one may gain an idea of the growing home consumption of rice, and may guess at it's future role in the United States. Perhaps we shall subsist on 1t largely when beef has become almost memory, which, at the present rate of increasing cost, will not be so very far away.

Ocean Travellers, Take Notice

Crossing the ocean is today an affair of little moment. It takes less than q week unless one of the slow steamers is taken by preference. The woman who is wise will have a good box of books sent on board with heJ stateroom lug gage, and she will see the steward ''of- ficially'' to having her chair placed In a sheltered nook. After this. if a good sailoress. she may tase all that comes as a pleasure. If not an experienced sea going woman she may order the books just the same, but she should confer with the stewardess of her corridor as to hav- ing iced champagne at certain inter- vals and also iced lemon juice with club soda. Ginger ale Is also refreshing, and hot gingersnaps are a solid that will stay In fact. the gingersnaps and baked apple are the special recommenda
 tons of an old voyager who always spends four days of the trip in her state room and has found all other food dis tasteful under the circumstances. The bad sailor should provide herself with a fan mel bed jacket, besides heavy eiderdown wrapper. and shc should also arrange for an outside stateroom, as the air is a great aid toward prompt recovery.

The Necessity of Change

livery individual who can possibly shift bass for the summer months from the overcrowded cities to the freer life and air of the country should certainly do so," says pr. Jean Williams in Wo- mans Home Companion. While for the man or woman below par physically 1t may be the only means toward the com plete establishment of health. To be sure, in many cases daily trip to the city by train or trolley will be necessi- tated, but even so, eight hours of quiet sleep iE pure air, and the evening and morning hours. the Sundays and holidaysS will far more than compensate for the wear and tear of the journey.'

vent her tormentor from continuing:
 How do you know a story Is worth reading if you don't know how 1t Is going to end? Whats the use of reading through 542 pages If the people are not going to live happily ever afterwards? If I cant find anybody who has read the book before me I simply turn to the last chapter and read 1t first. and If like 1t begin at the beginning and read it through, otherwise I discard 1t
 That may suit you" said the visiting lady who, in spite of her desire to finish the book could not help getting mixed up in the discussion with her friend. That is like eating your dessert before your soup, or the cheese and coffee before the caviare. Excuse mel I want to be surprised!'
 But with your way you can't tell whether theer is going to be any dessert" said the other woman. You can't tell whether they will marry"

 "Oh, of course if that's the kind of story you like" said her hostess with an arch of her eye that would make a High Brow sit up and take notice, and shrug of her shoulders, why, all well and good.

 Thus the perfectly good bromide
 'T admit there is something in krow- ing how a story will end,' confessed the visiting lady 'It does give you better idea of the way in which tha writer has worked out his plot and makes you notice his style and die ton and other details which might escape you If you were reading head long just to see how She storr ended Witness MT.

ore of the chief points to be observed if the exercise is to be really beneficial.
 As regards indoor exercise, the fol- lowing should be practiced for five min utes night and morning. Stand erect. heels together chin held in, and should CTS back. Inhale deeply while raising the arms slowly straight above the head. then bend over and try to touch tho floor in front (without bending the knees)- Then stand erect and turn the body at the waist slowly to one side, and then to the other about 10 times each way.
 AS to diet the girl inclined to stout ness must learn to do without water. milk and cocoa. She must avoid all rich. fatty foods. potatoes, sweets and pastry, as well as rice and sago. Eat enough Of non-fat forming foods to satisfy; starving oneself will do no good at all.

Regaining Slenderness

When a girl finds she is getting too stout, the two important things she must pay attention to are exercise and diet. If she is careless about these things she will get stouter daily. and will find it more and more difficult to get rid of the s,iperfiuous flesh.
 Exercise should he taken in the open air as far possible, and should take the form of walking, golfing. hockey playing, or anything else in which the muscles come into full play
 Perhaps the best outdoor exercise of all is walking, and if one can walk up hill nearly all the time, so much the better. The body and head must he held erect in order to get the full benefit of the exer- else. and the pace should be brisk. A daily walk should be the rule. whether the weather Vs good or bad. as regularity is
