Several plans were talked over. but the
most practicable submitted and the one

ladies who will preside over the chatting
dishes must be costumed to represent
some historical period of the remote past
and the same will be followed by the

"THE BRIGHTEST SPOT E"
After James Whitcomb Riley ,had left town.
There are many kinds Of spots
ON this terrestrial sphere,
But the brightest spot in al! the earth
l. the one you've struck right here.
If my old muse don't lose his shoes
Ormy slow Pegasus ct to baiky
Before I'M done. each mother son
VIII vote that brightest spot Milwaukee.
som times these bright spots sc knocked off
From towns and things and people
A Baptist Church - I've been told
Had the spots Knocked Of its steeple
And in all con d nee tonight.
III lust make spec al mention.
That's what happened to Milwaukee
With organs great convention
If my memory serves me right.
Twas counted great pity
Tohave this good town laid out fiat
BY that tough place. Kansas City.
But when next week were called to view
That platforms saddened bier,
Milwaukee, Il thank gracious God
The planSs We're not made here
Milwaukee, is the brightest spot
Our nation has decreed it
No other town wins her renowr.
However much they need it.
The Hooser state seine think is great
Where Beverage Is heard and Known.
But this great town has won her crown
By beverages all her own.
Some people think Chicago
l. the big spot of this nation.
But Bignes4 friends and brightness"
Cover quite a different station.
Just let me say in ending.
Milwaukee is the brightest spot
Because God made it so.
Now let me add brief p. S.
To say we never Numbered
When our vote at Cincinnati
Said MILWAUKEE 1860
