discordant note in the immense recep-

The incidents of the day in New

the home OF Mrs. Douglas Robinson at
43S Fifth avenue. A little later. when
the procession reached the corner of
F1fty-ninth street and Fifth avenues
Colonel Roosevelt again showed his
preference for the motor car In gen.

when he, Cornelius Vanderbilt and Col

riage to White Steamers, which were
in waiting for them.
After luncheon at Mr., Robinson'a
house, the entire party, including
Colonel Roosevelt, again entered White
cars and were driven to Long Island
City, where they were to take a spe.
cial train to the ex-President's home
at Oyster Bay.
The supremacy of the White cars
with the Roosevelt party was again
demonstrated on Sunday, when the
party was driven to church in the
White Steamers, and a group of some
forty prominent Rough Riders were
taken in White Gasoline Truck to a
clambake at the Travers island club

Two perfectly rhymed, carefully scan

Onflatterinu Truth


A chicago physician gleefully tells
child story at his own expense. The
flVe children of some faithful patients
had measles, and during their rather
long stay in the improvised home hos
pltal they never failed to greet his
daily visit with pleased reclamation.
The good doctor felt duly fattered,
but rashly pressed the children, in the
days of convalescense, for the reason
OF this sudden affection. At last the
youngest and most indiscreet let slip
the better truth.
We felt so sick that we wanted
awfully to do something naughty, but
we were afraid to be bad for fear you
and the nurse would give us more hor-
rid medicine. So we were awfully
glad to see you, always, cause you
made us stick out our tongues. We
stuck EN- out awful far"
