1 do not remember a trip on which
we all enjoyed ourselves so much as
when We went TO Kansas City with the
Utah boys a few days ago. It was a
yeritable picnic from start to finish

small towns we INDUCED in a verita-

ton OF the various station agents. Then
we ran out Of refreshments, and at one
little place We went UP town and load
ed uD two or three SackfuIs of bottled
beer and packed them down to the
cars. When we arrived at our des-
tination we found the town in an up
roar. never saw such another Fourth
of July TO equal ii before. The hotels
were packed from cellar to garnet and

made. Illinois is looked upon as being

indication of carrying the state. He IS

Illinois generally. It is no criterion To
