ALTERNATELY AUTOISTS CONE
Two Youthful Oklahoma Travellers
Here on Way Home,
TEMPLE Is BORED WITH IT ALL
Younger of Pair satiated with Atten'
tiOn shown Him, while Louis,
AEed Mine, Readily Talks
of Travels.

The Alternately boys, made famous by
their ride from their home in Oklahoma to
New York to see President Roosevelt, ana
who are adding another laurel wreath TO
the honors they have gained by their pluck
and endurance, by their automobile trip
back west, arrived in Omaha last night al
io:B.
The two travellers left Des Moines at
o'clock Friday and that hour yesterday
morning saw them speeding southwest
They are accompanied by Fred NJ Hall OF
New York City, but the boys travel in an
auto by themselves, Louis, the elder. aged
Q. driving, and having his e-year-od
brother. Temple. as his sole passenger.
As the boys sat In the cafe of the Hen
shaw hotel enjoying a late supper, they
were the cynosure Of the eyes of the other
diners. Louis answered the queries OF all
with the conciseness OF the trained business
man, while Temple sat back in his chair
with the bored air or the man Of the world
who has become blase through a surfeit Of
the good things Of life There was the
suspicion of a tired feeling, and 1t wasn't
to be wondered at
The days journey was enough to tire
even an older body and worry q more de-
veloped brain.
Others Get Their Dust.
But we had fine trip" burst out Louis
''And you should have seen how we left
the others behind"
His enthusiasm was explained. A car
once tried to pass them on the trip, but
when 1t came to hill climbing the autos of
the Oklahoma party left those OF their
rivals behind.
Recounting this incident aroused more
enthusiasm than even a talk on New York.
What do you think Of it?" Louis was
asked.
"Oh. it's a fine CITY," came the reply
without any apparent interest. But you
should see Coney Island" and at the
thought Of the round of pleasure that
Oklahoma could not afford. the eyes
sparkled and he dogmatc assertion.
'Coney Islands New York" gave the
chjIds vivid impression Of the metropolis.
While the party was awaiting supper be-
ing served, Louis readily answered all the
questions of the guests and they were
numerous, but Temple scarcely blnked an
eye and appeared oblivious to the fact that
he was sitting in a restaurant in a metro
| politan city.
Don't bother me-" he seemed to be say
ing, and his attitude did not warrant the
statement that woman had kissed him in
Des Moines. Here was not one to be
fondled and toyed with.
The few men who came TO place their
hands on Temples head were firmly pushed
away.
Rebuff for Butler.
Even City Clerk Dan Butler. who came
on behalf of Mayor Dahlnan to greet the
wonderful pair, seeing the reception others
had got. shook hands on parting with Louis
but made a nod and a goodbye the extent
Of his parting salute to Temple.
The boys had quite a reception before and
during supper, but 1t was with a satisfied
smile they heard the words from Mr.. Hall
IT'S now time for bed"
What will you do when you get home p
Louis was asked.
why, go to school," and the promptnes
OF the answer showed that school has nj
terrors for him. Temples opinions on tn
subject were not disclosed
Mr.. Hall and the boys were accompanle,
as far as Omaha by II. Lincoln of Detroit
Mich, and William Mustay, New York
and by Frank Baldwin, a newspaper MAJ
from Des Moines
John r. Alternately, the boys father
traveled with the party to Davenport, la
where he had to go to Oklahoma on bust
ness connected with his office as Unite
States marshal.
The Alternately boys left Omaha abou
$3.50 o'clock this morning. going to Kansa
City by way of Council Bluffs and 5
Joseph. From Kansas City, after a briS
stop, they will take up the last lap of the
journey back to Oklahoma, touching Wict
