was afterward found under a peanut stand
alongside of the curbstone. Some one
brought him out a glass of buttermilk
and he was soon able to stand on his feet
and inquire where he was at. His spine
was found to be two inches out of plumb
as he walked off, but he decided to let it
remain that way for the remainder of the
season.
During the parade within the city limits
Shutdown White was hit in the ear with a
mud ball thrown from the sidewalk by a
small boy who had a jug of molasses in
the other hand. The machine ridden by
Stepback Taylor, which had just been
creased with bears oil, got away from
him Just as he struck the Boulevard, and
in its career it knocked down a peanut
stand, ran over a Tammany leader and
brought up against a telegraph pole with
such carnestness that Brother Taylor con-
tinued on into a blacksmith shop and was
left behind to rest himself and pick the
horseshoe nails out of his hair.
The president was aware that something
had happened when a street car whirled
him twice around and ran him into the
door of a grocery, but he got back into the
street and led the parade in 4 way to elicit
grand applause from the crowds. The
cool, calm manner in which he issued his
orders Of ''Fours into line, - q Mix up dar
by SKIES, . g Scatter by twos" and - Kush
by officers of the national guard who were
on hand to secure pointers. just as the
procession got entanglcd and was moving
on a bobtailed horse driven by one eyed
boy before u laundry wagon came booming
along on a full run, and but for the pres
ence of mind of the president many per
sons might have been killed or injured
He instantly grasped the situation, ordered
his command to 80 ScatteratiOn at will and
p n md he sought
doorways and got around corners and
jumped of their machines to climb lamp
posts. The peril passed, and no one was
touched.
Just as the parade had made its success
fuI start Elder Slipback Davis, one of the
two members tied to his machine, under
took to execute what is called the chick
On wing dodge - with the result that he
and his machine rolled over and over on
yhe cobblestones six or seven times, the
machine being most of the time on top and
working away at the Elder s ribs to knock
aim out. He was finally rescued by kind
hearted policeman and stood up against q
brick wall to recover his wind Abraham
Lincoln Thompson, the other member
who didn't propose to let anything get
away from him attempted the ''pOssum
eavort'' to show OF tC galaxy of females,
and the first thing he knew he was so
tangled up with n banana stand that 1t
took the dagu and two policemen ten min
utes to cavort the knots out of his legs and
the fruit out of his pockets The 90 feet Of
rope which had tied him on was given to
the owner Of the stand.
In making a lightning move to the
right to get into line Happy Canaan Jones
forgot that his dog was tied behind, and
the result was his next leaps were moro

an international complexion.

considered.

around with it, hitting che pavement a
heavy thud at each revolution.
When Colonel Thoroughbred Scott, cap
tain OF the first platoon, realized that
street car which was approaching had no
intention of turning out for the parade
and might come in collision with him he
attempted what is known in bicycle tactics
as the cOon's git away" He was
minute too late, however, and as he came
down after the car had passed he was IN
conscious. and something had cut open his
mouth until it resembled a cave in a hill
side. He refused to have this injury at
tended to and will probably appear at a
dime museum later on and put an extern
sion table and three dining room chairs in
his mouth at once
A member named SorroWful Perkins,
who had insisted on wearing spurs and
sword as he paEaded, became wildly reck-
less under the applause of the multitude
and suddenly charged a lamppost. 1t was
bad charge for him. The lamppost met
him half way and wrecked his physical
anatomy in a way to keep him in bed fol
the next four weeks. There were several
other incidents to interest spectators and
make the parade a lively one, but no one
was killed outright, and the injured were
promptly given medical attendance. TAX

SILVER MEN EXPLAIN.
Wisconsin Democratic Delegates Re
ply to Senator Villas Address.

Milwaukee. Wis. July 2S-The silver
delegates to the Democratic national
convention have given out their address
to the public, replying to the letter pub
Hshed by the gold delegates, headed by
Senator Villas and General Bragg.
1t is devoted mainly to answering the
charges promulgated by the gold men,
but goes to some extent into the merits
of the silver question. The point is
made that the silver delegates obeyed
their instructions until the chairman of
the Wisconsin delegation refused to al
low the vote Of the state to be cast for
any presidential candidates that they
then obtained permission from the pre-
siding officer of the convention to cast
their votes.
In conclusion the Democrats of the
state are urged to get together to see to
it that silver men are sent to the state
convention.
