about halt half a doben were formal carefully prepared addresses the manuscript of them was fur dished the newspapers in advance the others were extempore and it is evidence of the presidents versatility and reso irce tree that he has seldom re heated himself the lareu laru age has al most always been different although there has been a recurrence of ideas another remarkable phase of the tour is the tact fact that twice the dent of the united states has been cut oft off from the world for two weeks while he was in yellowstone kellow stone park and after afterwards for two days while in the yosemite only once before has a president of this country hid him self president cleveland had that distinct on and there was excuse foi fot it ht went to deer park mariand mar land for hie his
