the sections and their contents are as
neat as pin, and everything is neatly
and conspicuously labeled.
THEY BROUGHT OUT THE GIRLS.
We have had two features during the
past two weeks that have drawn out
the girls. Last week more than 5000
Illinois state troops were here three
days, we'll equipped and neatly brushed
up. They camped about three miles
away, and the weather was very
hot, but they did some clever parading
and generally looked we'll. Besides the
infantry there were six troop and four
howitzers and 10 Gatlins. No horses or
men died or suffered badly, although
the marches were long and water
short.
The present week there have been
150 cadets from West Point, cleanly clad
in gray, and they have created a de-
cided sensation. They are camped on
the midway plaisance and have drum
parade daily. They have been enter
tanned four evenings ct state buildings-
once each by California, Kentucky, Mis-
souri, and New York. The cadets look
finely, and are as straight as masts. L
don't know how many girls each cadet
has, but it is remarkable that these
West Pointers are very promiscuous-
iour or five different girls, say. each
day.
''wHAT ARE WE HERE FoR?"
"What are we here for, if it isn't to
have some quiet firtation?" asked a
brass-buttoned cadet from Arkansas OF
Miss Elkins. OF course, Miss Lizzie
didn't know. but she just looked up into
the face of the propounder of the conun-
drum and said, "That's just what | was
going to ask !" and then. she just raised
up two inches 80 as to get better hold
on that cadets right arm. That epi-
sode ia part of the social history OF
our country, even if Lizzie weds some
Californian or New Yorker. They did
the streets of Cairo, took turn in the
Ferris wheel, gazed at the mummies of
the Temple of Luxon, and INDUCED in
other proper enough things; but Lizzie
had to return to New York on Wednes-
day somewhat forlorn-but on Wednes-
day evening the Arkansas cadet made
the rounds of the plaisance, danced at
the California building and threaded
the lowered banks of the wooded island
with Miss Kerrens of st. Louis, and oc-
casionally whistled after the ball is
