Tuesday morning sounding the rcveille
at the Park was a iorcible reminder
that the old soldier was with us for four
days, the honored guests Of resident
comrades and the city.
BY nccn Tuesday the tents were all
occupied and many were seeking quart
ers in the stalls, Less than two hundred
has registered up to 2 o'clock Tuesday
but there were many on the ground and
in the city who had not registered, The
attendace this year so far Is not up to
the expectation of The management
There are rot many who reside in Reno
county. But the cowd is here, The
sons, the daughters, the grand children
and other relatives of the old soldiers
are all here for a good time.
The merry.go.rOund is doing a thriv-
business and the spectacle man
wont loose any money, The man with
the biggest lungs and energy Of purpose
attracts the crowds and separates many
of them from their cash. They will
have to yell the first two days for money
to pay their license tax. Amy kind Of a
drink can be had that an old soldier
don't want. To find what many OF them
want requires skill and patience and
you can trust the old boys for skill and
patience every day in the week,
The exercises began Tuesday morn
ing with the introduction Of Mayor Frank
Martin who delivered the welcoming
address. Hon, Sam Peters of Newton
was then introduced and spoke Tor an
hour and nalf. Both speeches were
well received,
Vice President Roosevelt reached
this city on the Santa Fe train No. 6 and
spoke for twenty minuets from the rear
platform Wednesday, His speech was
high compliment to the old soldier and
his work. He complmented the early
pioneers of Kansas and the work they
accomplished in building up this great
State, There was no politics in any
thing he said and he made much bet
ter impression than he has ever done
before. He set a good example for the
other speakers whose turn comes later,

The Kansas City Journal tells this
story: Crank Anderson was for
years a well-known commercial trav-
eler who made Galena. He was pas
sionately fond of honey and the pro-
prietor of the Galena hotel at which
he always stopped, always had some on
hand for him, On one trip Anderson
took his wife along, and as he Op-
preached Galena he mentioned to her
that he was getting to a place where
he could have honey. When the pair
were sitting at the supper table that
night no honey appeared, and Ander-
son said, sharply, to the head waiter:
Where is my honey?' The waiter
smiled and said; You mean the little
black-haired' one? Oh, she don't work
here now.'"

The idea brought out instant response
