KEPT MS CONTRACT.
COL. KAPP HAD FURNISHED A
MOUNTED BAND.


AZ every one knows, there are In Chi
cago several organizations OF the hussar
kind. The first regulate Of hussar
company ID style. Once upon . time,
when one Of these dashlng bodies ar
ranged for . show parade, It Was de-
cided that it would be quito the proper
thing to have military band IN the lead
mounted Of course.
The commander of the company had
seen Q mounted cavalry band preceding
. troop Of German cavalry along Inter
den Linden In Berlin, and be gave his
personal assurance that the effect was
most inspiring. Il Was unanimously
agreed that the hussars mnst be pre-
coded by band, and q committee was
appointed to engage the musicians.
This committee called on Col. kapp
and asked him II he could furnish q
mounted band. He replied that he
could furnish anything that had ever
been furnished by any other band mas
ter In the universe.
About that time there was keen COM
petition among the brass bands, and Col.
Knapp did not propose that any rival
should have the honor of leading what
promised TO be one OF the most imposing
psrsdes ever known 10 Chicago.
"Certainly I'll provide band" he
said. "How many men do you wantr"
The committee was of the opinion that
there should be ut least forty men, 10
order to have good volume OF sound,
and give the effect Of size TO the head
Of the line. Col. Kspp agreed to have
his forty men on hand at the specified
time, but he stipulated that the COM
psny would be expected TO provide the
horses, as the musicians were poor men,
who could not be expected to keep
horses on hand In order to meet such an
unusual demand.
Three days before the date OF the
parade the bsDdmsster called and said
that he would be compelled to ask for
his money In advance. He had every
confidence In the military company, but
II was rule OF the union that all bills
should be collected In advance. Al
though the committee regarded his re-
quest rs unusual, not to say startling,
IL paid the bill.

A MODEST BEGINNING.
New England had gained some renown as a
paper-making part Of the country before the
industry had a foothold in Holyoke. The Crane
family had manufactured paper for many years.
and about fifty years before the first large mill
was erected by the Parsons Paper Company at
Holyoke Zenas Crane began the manufacture OF
paper in a small way at Dalton. Mass.

what Zenas Crane did FOR Dalton. began with a
