Jolly junketeers from the city hall were
returning from one of the British
lions pastures and were celebrating the
return in song. But in the midst of
their rejOicingS they could not forget
the people who had been entertaining
them for the past week; hence the

sprained the roof beams of the train

by them and several people who were
not seen. Itembraced the Inhabitants
of the 800" of Ottawa, of Montreal,
and all the officers and employees of the
Canadian Pacific and 800" railroads.
Never was a party of travellers more

they could not leave Acting Mayor

alone and remained behind. At one
time, just few minutes before the de-
parture of the delegation. it looked as if
none but city officials and the few spe-
cially invited guests would make the
trip. But the fateS willed otherwise.
One r. r. Odeil, a sort of police justice
of Uncle Sans, insisted that he be al
lowed to sacrifice himself OH the altar of
his desire to visit Canada. Resistance
WAS useless.
But six members of this delegation
were Democrats, men who believe in
conducting q municipal government on
fairly liberal policy. All the others
were relics of the pre-landslde period.
Very soon it was demonstrated that

their official duties in accordance with
their own ideas and inclinations. Be-
fore New Brighton was reached, and
New Brighton IS but a short distance

Der of the party had become an
uncOmpromising advocate of liberal
policy-not merely liberal policy
either, but of a ''wide-open'' policy.
All that part of the administration
which was on wheels was so conducted
for one whole week. Party ties were

The First Day Out.
Nothing unusual occurred during the
first night on the road except that Joe
Ingenhutt would persist In singing.
Reliable authority has it that all the
game has since departed from
the North Wisconsin woods. Of
course, the men who were about to
depart from their native land were
homesick. But what pangs OF regret

Tuesday. Several Of the party betrayed
emotion at the first sight of lake Michi-
gan. They could not see the water be-
cause of the ice, but they knew it was
there.
But the $500" was soon reached and
| passed; the land of the stars and stripes,
of the Mckinley bill and of chewers
was left behind. Most of the party
stood for the first time on a foreign
shore. Here again Joe Ingenhutt almost
cOmpassed the ruin of the trip. The
Canadian officials were suspicious of

G. j. Barry. division superintendent
of the Canadian Pacific railway, met
| the delegation at the $500" and accom-
panied them as far as Sudbury. He
made the hours pass pleasantly until
the darkness closed down upon the
earth. Another Canadian Pacific rail-
way official in the person of Assistant
Superintendent Meter, of the sleeping
car service, met the Minneapolis
people at Chalk river and looked after
comfort in person until Ottawa was
| reached. A third visitor boarded the
train Wednesday morning. 1t was
James Fowler, the United States
consul at Carleton junction. He in
vited the delegation TO stop and dine
with him, but time was too short. He
| accompanied the party as far as Ottawa.
Received at Ottawa.
At 11:45 Wednesday morning the seat
of the queens power on the Western
continent was reached. There the Min
neapolitanS were first introduced to
Canadian hospitality. If the much

the expected visit only two days pre-
viously, yet they had prepared recep-
ton which could not have been warmer
had it been under consideration for
weeks. IL was spontaneous and as
hearty as true hospitality could make it,.
There is not space here In which to
tell one-halt OF what the Ottawa people
did for their American visitors. There
was formal reception at the city hall,
a luncheon which Appropriated a

lament buildings, drive about the
city. a visit to the manufactures OF
Hull, the city across the river, and en-
tertainment of all kinds in the evening.
Nearly all of the delegation met the
governor general in the evening. OF
tawa is not the largest city IN the world
it has but about 10000 inhabitants
but its ability to entertain is that of a
city of millions. That night, as the
travellers sought their berthS in the
special train, jim Bradish made that
characteristic remark which was but
the expression of the sentiments of all /:
boys, we amt Sin it, We don't
know how to entertain beside these

Weary from the festivities of the
previous day, the Minneapolitans slept
peacefully the next morning, as at a.
M, the special train wheeled out of
Ottawa and on toward the metropolis of
Upper Canada, Montreal. That city
was ente.ed at $3.50 on the morning of
Thursday. The sun threw his brightest
rays over Mount Royal and all nature
seemed TO smile. The inhabitants of
the old town caught the infection and
communicated it to the visitors. Before
thirty brief minutes had been spent in
Montreal everybody smiled"
