Finally a num ber of them drew up a request and sign ed it asking that the President come out on the front -porch in order that the girls find hoys, might see him, , but-Mr. McKin ley was sleeping at the time and the message was delayed in reaching him. so when darkness fell the little folks had to jro home without having their curi osity satisfied.' ' From early in the morning until late at nich'r a crowd composed of both men find women continued to loiter in the park opposite the Scott home. A squad of polirpmen is kept continually on duty about the home to keep the people back a respi etful distance and 'to suppress sw'se and any unnecessary outbursts.
