There arc only six or seven steam bundle

They do family washing and do their own

Candidacy Brings Denial.

Theodore Roosevelt spent only a short
time at the office OF THE Outlook" yes-
| terday but short az it was, Il was pToduc-
| tive of more activity than has attached TO
any ordinary visit there for some time II
! all developed from the visit Of one Jason
| Yurann, OF Blue Rapds. Kan, who saw the
| ex-President for q few moments IN the pub
! lie reception room Of the magazine office.
Two newspapermen VINO were in the room
at the time overheard Mr., Roosevelts
greeting of MIR. Yurann. and aftcrward
talked TO him as he went down from the
Office, asking as to the details OF his cOn-
versation with the former President. with
the result that the conversation was re-
ported in several afternoon papers as fol-
lows:
MIR. Yurann-I have come all the way
from Kansas to congratulate you. Colonel
Roosevelt. 7 know YOU cannot afford to
seek the nomination for the Presidency,
and [ congratulate YOU on your stand.
Mr.. Roosevelt am not a candidate

for it,
Mr.. Yurann-I have told all my friends in
Kansas and the West that while you are
not seeking the nomination you are a
patriot and will serve your country II

Mr. RooSevelt-Most asSuredly.
Afterward Mr. Yurann explained:
1T means that Colonel Roosevelt IL
going TO be the nominee. He cannot refuse
the demand that will grow UP for him"
Mr.. Roosevelt did not return to the Office
yesterday afternoon. going instead to the
house of his brother-in in-law, Douglas Rob-
inson. AT No. . East G3d street. where he
declined to make any comment upon the
story. He sent word. however. that a
statement would be given out by his secre-
tary, and later Mr.. Harper gave out the
following explanation OF the affair for MI.
Roosevelt:
Mr. Yurran is total stranger. although
| have a vague recollection of his having
called once before. IL is, of course, an
absurdity 10 suppose that ] would select
such means to make known my position.
II at any time | have any statement TO
make | VIII make II over my own sigma
ture.
Mr.. YuTann said last night
Il stepped into The outlook office to pay
my subscription and didn't expect to find
Colonel Roosevelt in. But when ! learned
that he was In his Office. ! said I would like
to see him long enough TO shake his hand.

lated him on the course he was pursuing
concerning his position. adding that / re-
allied II would not be consistent with his
dignity 10 seek the Presidency. But told
him felt sure If the country ever had need
OF his services, as n patriot he would not
refuse.
In answer hts natural response was:
