ward to Puget Sound, wavers into
Idaho, and Montana, and then reaches
home, through Chicago, where the
colonel will stop for a few hours
only, on Saturday, April Is.
The full list of engagements oc-
cupies twenty-five typewriter pages,
but even this does not meet the de-
mands, and it Is possible that the col

his schedule and speak on the spur
Of the moment.

Caronelia Landon, friend of Miss
Ethel, and Frank Harper the colonels

Ing with Mrs. James A. Garfield. the

few short stretches, the trip viii be
made in regular trains and public

Perhaps the incident of the whole
UP IN which Mr.. Roosevelt takes the
greatest personal interest will be the
