Mrs. Laura J. Tisdale, for many

will be heard in an evenings reading
at Park Congregational church Thurs
day evening, July s. Mrs. Tisdale,
who is a sister of Mrs. c.. R. Nc
Kenney, of North st. Paul. is said to
be a reader of exceptional ability.
Press notices of her work are most
complimentary. For instance the Nor
folk County Gazette says of her ap-
pearance in that town in Massachus-
sets: Her histrionic talent is of the
highest order. and her dramatic ac-
ton magnetic and exceptionally strong.
She is a thorough artist in all that
she undertakes. Her voice penetrates
the chambers of the soul and haunts
one after hearing it. From grand
organ notes to- the most delicate shad-
ings, her vocal technique is faultless.
There is a grandeur of conception, a
certain majestic style that crowns
every effort. But her gestures are in
comparable. The possibilities of eX-
preston in the human hand and arm
divine are realized when her hands
float out into space and become sem
tient being, discoursing in silent but
eloquent language"

During the last session of the legis-

in the capitol because of a debate as to
whether the state excursion to Gettys-
burg should include all the survivors
OF the gallant First Minnesota regi-
ment, or merely those who were in it
at that time, or just those who partici-
pated in the final charge Ringing
speeches about patriotism jingled on
one side, and equally sonorous speeches
about economy on the other. The econ
omy people won, or thought they did,
securing the passage of a bill which
was to allow only veterans of the First
who We're actually in the charge to go.
A soldier who was hurt the day before
and was in a tent hospital at the time
Of the F'irst's gallant stand could not
go as the guest of the state on this
excursion. 1t. was cheese-paring of pa
triotism that at it's best reflected little
sincerity on the professions of regard
for the veterans which were made for
years by the party in control of the
legislature which passed the bill in
question.
The mask is off now, however. The
pairing down of the number to be car
rled was not to save expense, but to
permit the governor to take along
number of ward heelers. All sorts
Of preteXts were rung in to carry extra
political heelers along. Mayor Doran.
although not even a member of the
regiment, was invited, just for COM
pany's sake, and, while the official pres
ence OF st. PauPS executive might lend
some little dignity to the occasion, the
Junket has been turned from a patri-
otlc mission of reverent citizens into
hoWling farce by the equipment Of Wal
ter L. Gassaway, the colored barber
who runs shave shop in the gents
toilet room of the capitol, in a full suit
OF regimentals, and toting him off to
Gettysburg and Washington as the :'of-
f1cial barber" of the great state of
Minnesota.
Some of the veterans have heard of
this, and they are wrought up over the
fact that all kinds of ringers" are be-
Ing carried around the country at the
states expense when veterans who ac-
tually served in the old First are by
