iment was organized several old cam
paigners were assigned to it from other
regiments Among them is Sergeant
Jones, a weather beaten old campaign
er who is there to teach the boys how
to fight.
Sergeant Jones is an American edi-
ton of Rudyard Kipling's Sergeant
Whatshisname." Instead of going to
teach the natives of Egypt how to fight
he is on his way to the Philippines to
instruct the United States rockies how
tn handle Krag Jorgensens and stand in
battle array as coolly as if on dress pa
rade.
He's an old timer, this sergeant with
a grizzly moustache, broad shoulders
and athletic figure. He has been in the
service since 1873 and received his bap-
tism of fire in the Indian campaigns in
the west under Generals Merritt and
Scofield. He was a private then. Now
he wears the three red stripes of ser
geant on his arm and smokes a mere
chaum pipe that has been with him
through all his years of service. The
pipe shows its service too There is q
nick in one side of it, An Indians but
let was the cause of it and it took
part of the owners blouse with it when
it marked the blackened bowl of the
pipe. The bullet put such a value on
the pipe that money could not buy it.

ing in the Philippines for anything"
down the platform. Il have been in the
service now 20 years and the longer L
stay the more active service 1 want.
The Indian campaign, the Cuban war
and several strikes make up all the
fighting have seen and 1 want more
The sergeant was at Ell Caney, and San
Juan hill during the Cuban war and
came out without a scratch.
The two sections of the train pulled
in about 8:45 and after a half hours
wait started on their journey again
There was not the usual crowd at the
depot to meet them for it was not
known they were coming but those who
were there were as enthusiastic as
when the first regiment passed through
on its way to the front.

stood trying to quelI the tumult, AS well
might he have tried to crush the island
of Manhattan under the surrounding
waters The crowd at that dinner was at
it's shrine and it had gone there to wor-
ship. When it got ready it stopped but
it raTed and Stormed for ten minutes
Then, when Bryan began to talk, it took
up his praises again al a call from a mar
on the platform, and shouted, stamped and
cheered though every voice was fresh
in training.
When first he mentioned the Chicago
of applause, but when he said: The
Chicago platform is satisfactory to those
who Supported it in 1885, there was a
louder report from those who had heard
him, but still it was hardly what could be
called tremendous. Mr.. Bryan has habit
of compelling enthusiasm, and he reached
the height of it when he said: Il am proud
that my nomination in 1896 did not come
from a convention of boilers, but from
convention of patriots.
HIS POWER HAD GROWN.
To one who had heard Bryan read a
speech in Madison Square Garden and who
heard him really deliver one tonight he
a different power. Saturday night he
brought his audience to its feet. even to
the tops of the tables. with one exception.
That was when he talked of the Philip
pines and the maintenance of a large
army. There were cheers when he re-
ferred to the triumphs of American SOL
dierS. silence when he entered into logic,
applause when he made point in the or
der of the ~'croSS of gold.'

AN ACTOR SIGHTED.
His Name Now Appears in Red Ink
on the Bills.

The large posters announcing the two
farces to be given by the Topeka Dra-
matte club were printed in a hurry and
by mistake the name of Frank Bennett
who takes leading part. was omitted.
The friends of Mr.. Bennett say that he
felt very much hurt over the mistake. The
other members of the cast were given the
honor of having their names appear on
the playbills while his name was not in
the list.
Archie Williams says that his friend, Mr.
Bennett, confided to him his troubles. Mr.
Williams is a tender-hearted man who
cares little for expense He therefore
made arrangements yesterday to have all
the bills taken down and the name of
Frank Bennett printed in two-inch type
clear across the sheet in red ink. Be
tween the first name and the last is a
star. also in red ink.
Mr.. Bennett feels much better and has
declared that he will not withdraw from
the cast, as was first announced. but Will
appear. The big red letters and the star
are accountable for his decision.

A JOKE ON THE GOVERNOR.
Was Billed For a Speech by Last
Years Calendar.

Governor Stanley is in a quandary be-
cause of a conflict of dates which has
resulted in having him billed for two
speeches on the same night. The grad
uating law class of the university and
the College of Emporia graduating class
expect him on the same evening. The
complication came about in this way:
The governor accepted an invitation
to address the university graduates May
Z. The College of EmpOria wanted him
the same night, but postponed their
commencement exercises a day and the
governor then accepted the invitation
Then came the promoters of the ma
tional encampment of the Woodmen of
the World at Kansas City and the gov
ernor accepted an invitation to speak
May 6. He thought everything was in
shipshape and planned to go to Kansas
City, then to Lawrence and then to
EmpOria.
Now it appears that J. w. Green, dean
of the state university law department
used a last years calendar in making
the arrangements for the governors ad-
dress and brought the meeting to Tues
day evening, the same as the Emporia
college. The university will probably
lose the governors address.

amount of free advertising it receives.

TRIBUTE FROM INGERsOLL
Upon the Ability of Tom Corwin as an
Orator.

Lebanon, O., April 17.-Robert C. In
gerson prefaced his lecture at Lebanon
March s. 1899, with the following tribute
to the genius of Thomas Corwin. His
language was not reported, but after
the lecture Josiah Morrow, author of
the Life of Corwin," requested the lee
turer to furnish him the tribute for
publication. After reaching his home in
New York, Mr. Ingersou complied with
the request The lecturer stood under
the head of Corwin, painted on the pros
cenium arch of the Lebanon Opera
House, and his highly wrought eulogium
produced a lasting impression on the
large assembly. He spoke as follows:
Being for the first time where Thorn
as COrwin lived and where his ashes
rest, 1 can not refrain from saying
something of what feel. Thomas Cor
win was a natural orator-armed with
the sword of attack an the shield of de-
Tense.
arrows. He was the lord of logic and
laughter. He had the presence, the
pose. the voice, the face that mirrowed
thoughts, the unconscious gesture OF the
orator He had intelligence wide
horizon-logic as unerring as mathe-
matics-humOr as rich as autumn when
the boughs and vines bend with the
weight of ripened fruit, while the for
ests flame with scarlet, brown and gold
He had wit as quick and sharp as
lightning, and lightning-like it filed the
heavens with sudden light.
I'm his laughter there was logic, in
his wit wisdom and in his humor phil
osophy and philanthropy. He was a
supreme artist. He painted pictures
with words. He knew the strength, the
velocity of verbs, the color, the light and
shade of adjectives.
He was a sculptor in speech
changing stones to statues. He had in
his heart the sacred something that we
call sympathy. He pitied the unfortu-
nate, the oppressed and the outcast
His words were often wet with tears
tears that in a moment after were glor-
flied by the light of smiles. All moods
were his. He knew the heart, its tides
and currents, its Gains and storms, and
like a slxillfuI pilot he sailed emotion
troubled sea
He was neither solemn nor dignified
because he was neither stupid nor ego
tistic. He was natural, and had the
spontaniety of winds and waves.
HE was the greatest orator of his
time, the grandest that stood beneath
our flag.

SECRET OUT WITH THE WINE.
Society Girls Heroism Saves Her
 Host from Discomflture-An Amusing Denouement.

If Miss Eleanor Sedley, one of the best-known society girls of New York, could have pulled a champagne cork with corkscrew, only three persons would ever have known that she played the role of colored waitress at stag dinner to save D. Ogden Fowler from discontinue.
 Miss Sedley was the guest of the Fowlers in their Staten Island home, and MT. Fowler was giving little din ner" to few of his friends. All minor details had been arranged, but on the day of the dinner the chef and waitress ordered from the caterers did not ar rive, and none others could be secured.
 Two guests had already arrived, and Mrs. Fowler was at her wits end.
 ''Never mind" said Miss Sedley, "you cook the dinner and I'll wait on the table"
 The guests arrived and seated them selves at the table. No one suspected that Mary" the beautiful "colored" girl, who so admirably administered to their wants, was the society girl they so we'll knew. Mary" acquitted her self until it came time for the wine. This adjunct to good dinner was de- layed so long the guests wondered. After trying in vain to pull the corks with a corkscrew Mary" was obliged to turn to the guests and ask: Wont orc of you please help me?"
 Miss Sedley was recognized, matters explained, hearty laugh indulged in, and the dinner wound up with Mary" as the guest of honor.
