came the old settlers float drawn by six
horses and loaded down with the old

looked gorgeous in linen ulster. The
Crescent creamery came next with four
decorated floats drawn by our
horses each, and a dozen single teams,
all loaded down with the products of
that industry. An Old-fashioned up
and-down" churn was one of the feat
ures of this display.
''Every man is the architect of his
own fortune" was another laughable
thing. Here was represented a man

cana solitary cow stood in the middle
of the cart.
The st. Paul Barrel company's float
next came along. On it was a force
of men making barrels and casks.

lightful German airs.

tOboggan drawn by Shetland pony.
Carriages containing the business
