A Capacious Nav.

1t was in the summer time. An English
man Of gentle manners arrived at a Swiss
hotel. Tired Of his journey, he sat down at
the dinner table, placing his bag on the
chair next to the one he occupied. When
he had finished his repast, he called for the
bill, when he found that he was charged
the double amount
How is this" he inquired and was told
in reply that his bag had taken up the
room of a grest Mt the table. Upon receiv-
ing this information he quickly paid the
bin and took his departure.
A couple of days afterward the same
EnGlishman returned to the hotel, where,
as before he took his seat at the dinner Ia
BILE, and as before placed his bag on the
next chair. The dinner was served. The
Englishman ate a hearty meal, and so did
his travelling bag, which received its full
allowance of every dish that was brought
on the table. General merriment among
the guests, our English tourist all the while

''Sir, how dare you, l never saw any
thing like it in my life"
Then the taciturn diner got up and OBJ
served in his blandest tones: My travel
ing bag is in better condition now than it
was three days ago. 1t is sorry that its APP
petite was none Of the best on the former
occasion"
a dark mist overspread the eyes of the
landlord, whereas the light seemed to dawn
upon the rest of the company. The Eng
lishman told them all what had happened.

They tell good story about one of our

and rightly, an orator, and on occasions is
in great demand as speaker. The episode
occurred after he had recently been called
upon for oratorical efforts on several occa-
sions and had responded. Retiring one
night very tired after banquet, the viands
of which had evidently not been so care
fully prepared rs the impromptu after din
ner speeches, the lawyer was troubled with
somnambulism.
Rising up in bed he began to pour forth
v torrent of eloquence, accompanying it
with vigorous gestures. His wife was
awakened and cried out to her excited
spouse, What in the world are you doingf"
The reply came like a flash from the SOM
nambulistic orator, ''I've talked for every
body else, now Pm making a speech for IN v
self" He thereupon subsidized, and the
next morning knew nothing of the ludi-

the implements with which artificial

workman in sabots, some indication
that the wearer is still in most essen

turned out by these men are made

The second national encampment, held
in Philadelphia in 1868, was undoubt-
eddy the most important Of the earlier
gatherings Of the veterans, for then were
fixed the character and scope of the new
movement, but that encampment was
made possible by the sendof given at
Indianapolis. The deliberations at Phil
adelphia decided what the veteran order
should be; the enthusiasm at Indianap-
oils declared that there should be an
order Of veterans, 80 there is little rea-
son to fear but the old soldiers who
muster in the western city 100, 900 strong
will know what they are there for and

A BAND OF COMRADES.
THE GRAND ARMY MUSTER At IN
DlANAPoLls ON SEPT. 4.

The Birthplace OF tho National EncamP-
ment to BE HOnOred by Mighty Host
of Boys In Blue-HistOry and Principles
OF the Order.
Onward to the Worlds fair by the
way of the Grand Army encampment at
indianapolis will be the rallying cry of
the veterans the first week in September.
The pilgrimage to Indianapolis, like that
to Chicago, is for the celebration of
new discovery-namely comradeship.
The universally and strength of the tie
that binds old soldiers together were first
revealed at indianapolis in 1866, when
the first national encampment of the in
FAINT order convened there. Up to that
time the idea of society of veterans
was only dream, fermenting in the
minds of handful of enthusiasts, led by
Major B. F. Stephenson, the father of
the Grand Army. At that gathering
the hopes of The dreamers were taken up
by the old soldiers and sailors of the ma
ton, the mys ,ic password was whispered
to the men of the east, the middle states
and the great west, and they returned to
their homes bearing the seed of a mar
velous and mammoth organization.
There were then but few posts in ex-
lstence. The first had been organized at
Decatur, Ills, by Stephenson in April,
1866. Stephenson and few comrades
who were charter members of the De-
catur post had worked out the plan
while campaigning in Sherman's army
the last year of the war. Springfield,
nls., the home of Stephenson at that
time, also had a post, but the banner
post of the order was at Indianapolis. 1t
mustered over 1000 comrades, and
although Illinois was the stronger in the
number of posts the first encampment
was called at indianapolis, where there
was certainty of rousing and enthu-
siastic welcome. The call for the meet
ing extended an invitation to all old SOL
diers and sailors in and out of the order
to fall into line and test the strength Of
the old army ties. Thousands responded,
and II states were represented by del
egates who had been invited and bore
state credentials. The encampment was
held in Morrison's Opera House, the stage
of which had been transformed into a
field camp and draped with the battle
torn banners of the Indiana regiments.
Unbounded enthusiasm swept over the
great gathering of soldiers and was COM
municated to the people of the city and
of the whole state.
After the business was finished and
the organization perfected on a national
basis, rousing public meeting was held,
and Governor Morton, Indiana's war
governor, spoke to the veterans, praising
the devotion to one another and predict
ing wonderful future for the new
Grand Army. AS an echo of that en-
campment, when the news was flashed
over the country, d mighty cheer went
up from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
ten times ten thousand voices shouted
"Comradeship is fact" The national
body of officers included veterans from
eight states - namely, Illinois, New
York, Indiana, Missouri, Iowa, Ohio,
Kentucky and Pennsylvania. General
Stephen A. Hurlburt of Illinois was
chosen commander in chief.

NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

NO BLANKS IN THIS Co.PETIoN.
This is competition of rather an I'M
usual nature. 1t is common to offer
prizes for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
rislIing the loss of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for the
amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims COmpany's offer is something en-
tirely different. Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is re-
warded for doing it. The prize is only
a stimulus to do something that would
be well worth doing without it. The
architect whose competitive plan for a
club house on certain corner is not ac-
cepted has spent his labor on something
OF very little use to him. But the person
who patented a simple and useful device
in the Press Claims Company's competi-
ton, need not worry if he fail to secure
the prize. He has substantial result to
show for his work-one that will COM
mand its value in the market at any
time.
The plain man who uses any article in
his daily work ought to know better how
to improve it than the mechanical ex-
pert who studies it only from the theO-
retical point of view. Get rid of the
idea that an improvement can be too sim
pie to be worth patenting. The simpler
the better. The person who best sue
ceeds in combining simplicity and pop
ularity, will get the Press Claims Com
pany's twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company
may be judged from the fact that its
stock is held by about three hundred OF
the leading newspapers of the United
States.

1t is this record of 81 years Of Grand
Army work that will furnish inspiration
to 100000 boys in blue in their ami
versary jubilee. They know what is
back of the little bronze lapel button
and the simple haihng salute which
seems so meaningless to the uninitiated.
They never lose sight for a day of the
wonder working machinery set in mo-

of the east and of the west shook hands
and vowed to stand together in peace as
they had stood together in war.
