It has not been decided'wfien the President will go to Oyster Bay fol4 the summer,, but he probably will go before the end of June. Mrs. Roosevelt and the children have arranged to move to their summer home about June 15, and It is thought the President will soon follow them Never before has a President of the United States made a "awing round the circle like the tour of President . Roosevelt During the trip, which lasted fifty-sidays, he covered upward of 14,000 miles, and addressed upward of 3,000,000 people. It has been a temarkable trip in many ways. To begin with, the work m&ppea out by Mr. Roosevelt was such that no ordinary man could hope to go through with It. When President, Nicholas Murray Butler of Cob umbia University, left the President about a. fortnight a), he estimated that Mr. riposevelt had made about 260 speech up to that time. A study of the itiiferary shows that before bo returned to 'Washington the total reached about 400. Ot these about half a dozen were formal, carefully prepared addressee.

Then a chance shot from a rifle brought down his horse. Ike knew ths gams up ann"pkUooiihlcally seated himself by the roadeMe.to await the arrival of the committee.

When the vigilant! reached him the list of his offenses, beginning with the time he held up a crowd In s gambling house and ending with the displaced gayety which had driven an Investor with money from the camp, was recited.

But to bs called a "derned Eastern tenderfoot mud turtle! That waa enough to Jar the sensibilities of the leader of a vigilance committee. Amos drew his revolver. "Very brave about drawing a gun on a man whose hands are tied," sneered Ike, again repeating his remarks apropos of tenderfoot mud turtles. But if thes ropes were off and you stood up in front of me Id change your ugly face, ao that even the mud turtles would be ashamed of you.
