held in the drawing room and cafe made
into one room for the occasion. II was
hardly suffcient in capacity.
The guest OF the evening gave the
guests little bit of worry by not APP

and then only after he had been called up
by telephone Mr.. Clemens explained that
the dinner had quite slipped his memory.
and he made apologies. In his speech he
said:

nous for a poor Mssourian. far away

fought righteous war. A righteous war
is SO rare In history as TO be practically
unknown. We have set Cuba free and
given her place among the two or three
real free nations that exist. We started
to free the Philippines, but II seems that
the righteous purpose miscarried xome-

silver. We have watched by its cradle
and done our best to raise that child. But
these pestiferous Republicans have been
trying TO give IL the measles, and am
afraid we VIII have never been able to
raise II now. We have a president whom
we criticised up and down ana found fault
with for four years. and now we have re-
elected him, and with votes TO spare to
serve another.

again ready TO begin life anew. Your
welcome put the finishing touch To my re-
sawed youth, and makes Il something

Mr.. Reed and Mr.. Howells also made
fellcitous remarks, and Gov.-Elect OdelI,
Mr.. McKelway. Senator Depew, Mr..
