these rivers rise the latter part OF

1 VERY CORDIAL GREETING
Manifestations that Lett Not q Single
Doubt n to the Exuberanee Of

Beverly. Mass-For q full minut,
Thursday afternoon President Tai,
and Colonel Roosevelt stood on the
broad veranda Of the Evans cottage
with hands upon each others shOul
ders while delight shows in every line
of the smileenwrapped counter
ances.
Mr.. President" 1t was Roosevelt
who spoke. and there was earnest
warmth in his saluta,ion.

They patted each other affectionate.

way that left not q single lingering
doubt as to the exuberance of their
feelings. They seemed utterly obvious
of the fact that there were others pres
ent.

The two friends. meeting after six
teen months separation. with all the
warmth that used to characterize their
association in Washington. slapped
each other again on arms and Shout
ders. And so it went throughout the
afternoon. When Colonel Roosevelt
was president and Mr.. Taft was Sec
rotary of war the meetings of the two
men at Washington always were
characterized by the same cordiality
as that of today. While house attaches
who witnessed the greeting this after
noon said it was just like the old
days. there also was a rapid fire of
conversation. The meeting was every
thing that the friends of President
Taft have claimed that ii would be
and the persistent prophecies of those
who have insisted all along that
GOODNESS had developed between the
two men proved To be fallacious.
Colonel Roosevelt was in the spirit
OF the renewed association with the
president. when. after two hours and
twenty minutes spent with Mr.. Taft
and members of his family. he started
back to Nahant to spend a second
night with Senator Lodge.
AS he was leaving the shaded
grounds OF the presidents cottage the
colonel stopped to speak with several
old newspaper friends from Washing
