when Mrs. Roosevelt retired to her
room. the lights were exxtinguished
and the colonel fell asleep. not to
awaken until 1850 this morning. when

every way. His color is good; his eyes
bright and his manner animated. He
5oked and laughed with the nurse dur
Ing the process of taking the clinical
record.
Shortly after the colonel woke and
was told breakfast was being prepared
Tor him.. he declared he was ranvan
ously hungry and was almost certain
the fare allowed him would not prove
half enough. He declared steak and
couple Of chops would come nearer
the mark.
He is anxious to be "up and do
Ing" He hears the call Of the bull
moose and it is with difficulty Mrs.
Roosevelt, the surgeons and the at
tendants are able to persuade him that
a longer season of quiet will insure a
speedier recovery. Whether they will
be able to restrain him longer than
next Monday, when he hopes to be al
lowed to journey to his home at Oyster
Bay. is regarded as doubtful by the at
tending physicians.
The following bulletin was issued by
Pulse. 20; temperature. ss.4;

ished. Breathing freer. General con

valescence is progressing favorably
and unless some Ia tent infection mani
tests itself. his progress should be
rapid"
The bulletin was signed by Drs.
John Murphy, Arthur B. Bevan,
Alexander Lambert and Scurry L. Ter
rell.
The possibility of tetanus. or 'lock-
Jaw" always to be reckoned with in
the case Of bullet wounds. still has
to be considered. and as the period in
which this. might develop, the physi-
onel Roosevelt will not be regarded as
entirely out Of danger should today
pass with no signs of blood poisoning.
DR.. Scurry L. Terrell. Colonel Roose-
velt's physician. said that the colonel
could not leave the hospital safely un-
til the expiration Of this period. and
Tor that reason it was regarded as out
oners departure for Oyster Bay before
early next week.
All through yesterday Mrs. Roose-
velt constantly was at the bedside, and
although her husband jestingly COM
planned that he was the victim of ma
chine rule. she said he must see no
one except members of his family.
Roosevelt and Mrs. Nicholas Long

time to time. but even these family
chats were limited to a few minutes to
each occasion. Twice during the day,
