 They admit that the colonel is not
 yet out of danger but believe the scour-
 age and vitality of their patient will pull him through the crucial day and that he will be able to leave the hos pitan by Monday.

 The colonel himself has been largely irresponsible for the disappearance o1
 the nervous tension. His manner has the hospital. The coming of Mrs.
 Roosevelt cheered him to such an ex-
 tent that everyone about the sick room has become i1nbued with a feel ingN of llopefulness and confidence F Today, he referred frequently to his interrupted campaign trip and said ne wanted IO resume HIOSAIIIlSS HI 1 few days. | .'There is no significance in the fact that the bullet would not be remov- ed at once,'' said Dr. Alexander Lam bert, the Roosevelt family physician ''@The bullet will not be removed at
 present.
 .1t depends on two things he con tinued, whether it ever be- removed. One is if it starts causing trouble. The other is if Col. Roosevelt would rather carry his souvenir in his pocket ! than in his chest.''
 Mrs Roosevelt had a light breakfast with her husband sharing a grape fruit and cereal with him. After breakfast, she assisted the colonel in looking through the papers. A nurse entered the room "This is great weather" said the colonel. ''Its shame to be tied up here in such weather as tT1is.'' He glanced at Mrs. Roosevelt as if he ex- pected her to assist him in obtaining 1 his liberty. But she smiled and shook l her head
