enthusiastically applauded by soldier:
and citizens. Mr.. Hull said:
Fellow Citizens and Members of the
Fifty-frst Iowa: IT certainly gives me
great pleasure to take part in welcoming
back to our state the boys who have KEPT
the name of Iowa illustrious and a place
in the republic. And l want to say &c
them here that they have met today a
greater army than they ever met while
they were away from home, and that we
have done something that no enemy of
the country can dove have captured
the Fifty-1rst Iowa. And We are going
to keep them our prisoners in love and
faith and hope, so that they may come
back and be part of us. 1 want to say
to you that this war has demonstrated
the wonderful bravery and matchless
patriotism OF the American citizen. !

friend of regular army. | want to say
10 you people here of the Fifty-first regu-
lars and volunteers, they are all Amer

ed defeat or been trafled in dishonor.

these boys that have come back will bear
me out in saying, that they are, both Of
them, ready to die, II necessary, In de-
Tense of their country. There is no dam
organized regular army, so long
the country itself. and today, my friends,
no man can enlist in the regular army OF
the United States unless he is himself a
citizen of the republic. Thank God we
have nothing to fear from our own SOL
diers, and l want to say another thing,
that these boys that went out in the
early spring of 1898 have enlarged the
horizon of the republic and recast the
map of the world. They have entered
into a war for humanity, not for ag-
but the result of the war

with the responsibility Of sustaining the
valiant records Of the Iowa soldiers In the
war for the union; record which caused
our honored Kirkwood to say: 1.-THE hero
ism of the soldiers of Iowa has made II
an honor to be a citizen of that state"
We have watched with pride that SOL
dierly conduct. We are proud of you, be-
cause you have proved to the nation that
the Iowa soldiers are not only true SOL
diers. but ere also true gentlemen. From
same report, that the Iowa regiment was
a regiment of gentlemen. And side by
side with the pride We feel for your record
as soldiers Is the pride We feel in this
high compliment that you have earned.
We are proud of you because you stayed
In the field until the government could
send regulars to take your places, and
we are Just as proud that you were ready
to come home when the work for which
you enlisted was done and that you did

Made His Fortune.

The prince of Wales while shooting
in Arctria caused temporary trouble
and ultimately made the fortune OF the
nearest ladies' tailor. by STIMULATING
tina. all ladies receiving invitations to
shoot with him should come in correct
shooting costume. This. in Austria,
consists of short skirt coming half
way between the knee and ankle and
short. tight-fltting jacket, with waist
coat Of another color, boots OF brown
leather and a Tyrolese hat with a
feather. None OF the ladies had just
these clothes at hand, and the tailor
had to dor..e his force to supply them.

fevers and filth and palms and tropic
luxuriance; the fields they had fought

and the benighted natives whom, in
their humble way, they had benevo-

a reception never to be forgotten, the
browning glory Of all the series of re-
ceptions that have been rendered to
Iowa soldiers since they started for
home. 1t was only to be regretted
that all the other companies could not
have taken part in the welcome which
Des Moines extended to her own SOL

great stand arranged TO seat 300 to 400
people. This was occupied by the dis
tinguished guests of the occasion. In
front OF 1t the members of the regiment
were marched into an enclosed space
reserved for them so that they might
be assured of comfortably hearing the
speakers. The park and surrounding
streets were thronged with people. The
sonorous tones Of John Baldwin, even,
reached comparatively few of them.
The intention had been that Col. W.

the day. In his unavoidable absence
Hon. John N. Baldwin acted in his
stead.

In assuming the presidency of the

that Colonel Hepburn, who was TO have

The Shah OF Persia.

Muzafir-I-Din Of Persia was made
the governor Of province when he
was quite a small boy. though he had
no work to do in connection with the
Office. Owing to his fathers jealousy
and parsimony he was kept very short
Of money and desperately ignorant,
while he was also indolent and heed
less. Nowadays he seems a fairly
amiable sort Of gentleman. He spends
his time in shooting. taking snap
shots. playing with a little telegraph
instrument, and pottering in his gar
den, in a pea-jacket and Scotch tweed
trousers, setting and resetting plants.
He is still slovenly in his habits.

Pronounced "Ma-Neel-a."

The soldier boys are teaching the
Coloradoans some things about the
pronunciation of names relating to
places in the Philippines. Manila, as
a word, is a most prominent example.
Americans have always said Manila,
with the 81" pronounced short. But
this 'i' should be spoken like long
Sc" and thus the word Is 1 MA
neel-a." All the soldiers. liking
to their friends, would spe anil
lar terms of Ma-neel-a, and soon the
new pronunciation was being heard
on all sides.

After the experimenting was at an
end, it being now noon, the soldiers
were escorted to the Elseman block.
Here a great hall had been converted
into q dining room for them and ar
elaborate dinner was served. NO motel
in the town could have served 1t more
elegantly or could have offered larger
variety, and none could have better
cared for half the number that were
fed The people of Council Bluffs were
all this time extracting comparatively
little satisfaction from the entertain
ment, for their own soldier boys or
Company l. were not yet arrived. They
were on the third section of the train,
which was about twelve hours behind
the others. and did not reach the city
till this evening. With them were Com
panies NJ of Red Oak, f of Shenan-
doah and c of Glenwood. The other
eight were on the first two sections.
Two o'clock was set as the hour for
the special trains to proceed eastward
on the Rock Island for Des Moines,
with the Des Moines, Knoxville and
Oskaloosa companies. On account or
the great number of eXcurslonistS who
wanted to ride with the soldiers, the
Des Moines companies were given
separate train, and Knoxville and Os-
kalOoSa another. Both were long
trains and they were crowded. They
were nearly two hours late in getting
out of town. About the same time that
they departed the Burlington road took
out trains for Creston, Bedford, Corn
ing and Villisca, with the companies
and eXcursionists for those places.
1t was not till evening that the third
section Of the regimental train came In
from the west, and then the pro-
gramme had to be largely repeated, so
far as possible. The crowds were not
so large, but they were none the less
enthusiastic. Speeches were made at
the park. and the members Of Com
pany l. were received with great re-
1oicings by their fellow townsmen.

them and marched through the bust

such faring of Roman candles, such be-
dazzling electric displays as Des Moines

of smoke, now tinted azure as the
torches of blue lighted them; now red
as blood with the brilliancy OF torches

murky as the two colors rivalled each
other for the predominance; under
showers of sparks which singed their

country offers such ideal spots as the

When ladies go to buy dress in
Japan they tell the shopkeeper their
age, and If they are married or not,
because there are special designs for
as well as for ages. The consequence
of this painful custom is that you can
tell the age of every lady you meet,
and know whether she is married, pre-
cisely as though she were labeled
