Only last summer the train on which
AIR Roosevelt was going to Chicago ran
into bOwlder that had rolled onto the
track. The engine and cars running at
high speed, swayed and jolted. but sur
mounted the obstruction and did not leave
the track. The engine was badly damaged
and railroad men ut the time expressed
wonder that disastrous wreck had not
followed.
When Col. Roosevelt was President he
roamed about Washington and its en-
virOns in complete disregard of HARM
Often he slipped away from the sec ret

him and lest his protectors for hours.
On such occasions he would turn up
happily at the White House. and the

friends said he had often declared any
assassin who reached him would have to
be quicker than he.
