She little knows of football dope, but still she's full of noise and hope; she cheers a run that wins the game, she cheers a fum ble just the same; she think the game is awful rough, but still she never has enough. She's there with bells on in the stand, with cries of "Ripping! Daring! Grand!” And when her Harold's team is licked and Harold's ribs are fiercely kick ed, she pouts and cries, in language heated.

Censored dispatches received here to day from Sofia stated that the Bulga rians wore still advancing and it is be lieved here that the city is now com pletely surrounded. Rig bodies of troops and artillery wore massed on the heights south of the city in order to keep the railway line to Constanti nople open and to prevent the cutting off of telegraphic communication with the Turkish capital.

EXTRA 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE P^ R N E ° I. H, AT HOME HAPPY AND FEELING ‘BULLY’ Colonel Reaches Oyster Bay and Takes Up Quarters in Favorite Room. WAVES HAT TO CROWD OF WELCOMING NEIGHBORS Journey From Chicago Fatigu ing. But Condition Improves, Says Physician. OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Oct. 22. Swinging his hat in the air, Colonel Roosevelt came home today. The ex president wag still carrying the bullet that was fired into his body last Mon day night, but arrived in good condi tion and is now' installed in his favor ite room on the second floor of the Roosevelt home at Oyster Bay. The last stage of the Journey, from New York to Sagamore Hill, was trav eled by special train and automobile. The special train over the Long Island railroad was made up of the colonel’s private car carrying himself and fam ily and the car carrying the newspaper correspondents who accompanied the party from Chicago. The plan had originally been for Colonel Roosevelt to leave his car at Oyster Bay, but this was changed when Mrs. Roosevelt heard that a large crowd had gathered there to welcome the colonel. She asked the Long Island railroad officials to stop the train at Syosset, L. 1., which is the same distance as Oyster Ray from Sagamore Hill. This request was granted and word was sent ahead to have the automobile which had gone to the Oyster Ray station proceed to Syosset. The train arrived there at 9; 30 o’clock. News of the change of plan had pre ceded the train and about 50 persons had gathered. Colonel Roosevelt walked down the steps of his car unassisted and exclaimed: "I feel bully, glad to get home.” Waves to Crowd Answered by Cheer. Still unassisted, he walked the few steps to the automobile with Mrs Roosevelt, his daughter Ethel and Dr. Alexander Lambert close behind. As he enterd the automobile he took off his hat and waved it to the small crowd that had refrained from cheering until this time. Then their enthusiasm broke loose and they made up for lost time. Dr. Scurry L. Terrell and Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., followed the rest of the party. A second later another automobile drove up. Colonel Roosevelt and his two physicians entered the one which had first arrived, while Mrs. Roosevelt and her children took the second. The party started for Sagamore Hill. There arrangements had already been made for their coming. The room which the colonel has always considered his own private property is one on the second floor, which commands a sweeping view of the surrounding hills and valleys of Long Island. In this had been placed a roomy Morris chair as comfortable as a bed, and In this the colonel will spend the next few days convalescing from his wound, when not kept in his bed by his physicians. School Children Send Wreath to Colonel. At the Pennsylvania station tn New York vitv. the Roosevelt narty was joined by Dr. Joseph A. Rlake, head of the Roosevelt hospital tn New York, and Dr. George C. Brewer, one of the most eminent surgeons in the East. These two doctors made the trip to Sagamore Hill, holding a consultation meantime with Drs. Terrell and Lam bert. The colonel wore his heavy army overcoat in the machine and said he felt no chill, although the air was raw and a stiff breeze was blowing. At Sagamore Hill a surprise awaited the colonel. Scores of school children had chipped in their pennies and bought a big wreath of flowers to be placed In the colonel’s room. The Oyster Bay children all know and like Colonel Roosevelt, and while a saw of them “played hookey" from school so that they could be on hand when their friend arrived, they lurked about Oys ter Bay station until an hour after train time, wondering why the special did not get in. The Oyster Bay children were not the only ones who sent flowers to the colo nel. The home contained flowers of all kinds. The homecoming was a gala event here. A number of storekeeper closed up shop, so they could give th«
