DENVER. Col., Aug. 29.—A salute
of 21 guns, the special salute of a
president of the United States,
boomed forth as Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, former chief executive of
the nation, arrived in Denver today.
It was only a small part of the noisy
welcome given the colonel by the
hundred thousand visitors gathered
in the Colorado capital to greet the
former president.
Roosevelt's train arrived a few
minutes before 11 o'clock. As early
as S o'clock the crowds had begun
to assemble and by 10 a. m. they
had overflowed from the big union
station and streamed up the street,

ONLY A DOLL'S LEG.
COLUMBUS, 0., Aug. 29.—
A mighty sensation was occa
sioned here when employes of
an express company found
what they supposed to be a
leg of a baby sticking out of
a package consigned to a local
society woman. After calling
the police, the coroner and an
undertaker, it was found tffat
the package off "death" con
tained nothiug more thrilling
than a three foot doll.
"OH, PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN SO GOOD"
"Oh, people have been so goo d to me during the laat two or three
days that it almost makes me happy again," said Mrs. Griffith this
morning a* she stood by the bed of her invalid son. "I didn't know
there were so many good people i n tho world, and the sympathy and
help of those who have called to see me ha* made me feel aa If It
were worth while to take up the struggle again."
Mrs. Griffith s story as told f"n The Press last Friday has already
brought beneficent results. About $20 In money has been sent to The
Press, more than $8 has been sent direct to Mrs. Griffith at 8234 Sec
ond, and besides she has been flooded with packages containing fruit,
eggs, milk, and other delicacies which her stricken son requires. The
poor boy has been given the richest cream and fresh ranch eggs dur
ing the last couple of mornings, and both he and his mother have had
more fruit than they know what to do with right onw.
