The man who repairs typewriters had
finished tinkering with the mechanism Of
the machine and sat down to try it. Five
or six times successfully he wrote this
line:
'Now is the time for all good men to
come to the aid of their party"
The machine, he then said, was in salts
factory working shape.
Three months later another man who
had been sent to repair typewriter in
the same Office finished his labors by writ
ing the identical line That suggested a

"Oh, you see, it's this way" said the

typewriting, and it has become stock

Washington, D. c., Oct. 8.-Gen. Ed
ward S. Bragg of Wisconsin, United
States consul general at Havana, was
yesterday transferred to the Hong
kong, China, post
William A. Rublee, also a Wisconsin
appointee, was at the same time trans
ferred from Hong Kong to Havana.
The change in the Havana consul
ate has been in contemplation almost
three months. 1t was decided it was
necessary to make the change ana
the only question was where Bragg
could be placed without substantial
loss to himself, for it is difficult to
find in the consulate service position
paying as well as his present salary
and fees in Havana, about $1,000 per
year. Although it is realized that
Bragg had been guilty of lack of judg-
ment at least in allowing to escape
from him rather contemptuous cr1tl-
cism of the Cuban people, in view OF
the fact that he was not directly re-
sponsible for it's publication, the pres1-
dent decided to look on his case with
a lenient eye. Early in July Bragg
wrote a letter to his wife in which he

THIRTY THOUSAND IN LINE
Affair Takes Five Hous to Pass Given

EmbIem-Men of National Reputa-
ton March-Camp Roosevelt the
Scene of Many Reunions.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 9.-Presl-
dent Roosevelt yesterday reviewed the
Grand Army parade in his carriage.
He was carried down stairs from his
room on the second floor OF the tenn
porary white house in an invalid S
chair, and, amid the cheers OF a large
crowd, placed in the carriage in which
there was a large board to support
his injured leg. His carriage was
guarded by a platoon OF mounted po-
lice. Less than thirty-five minutes
were consumed in the journey. The
veterans faced the carriage as the
president drove by and saluted him.
There was continuous cheering from
the crowds as the president drove
along.
1t is estimated that 10000 took part
in the demonstration. The parade
took five hours to pass the reviewing
stand. The crowd was enthusiastic
and outspoken in admiration, greeting
every division with cheers and dis
missing it with a godspeed that had IN
1t both praise and feeling. Each state
was characterized by display pecu-
liar to itself.
The Illinois department was the
leading column, consuming about half
an hour passing the reviewing stand
Wisconsin proudly bore at the head OF
it's column all that remains of Old
Abe, the huge bald eagle which while
alive accompanied the troops through
l,@t,. ION hn hn
states. The Minnesota men held aloft
broad placard announcing that to be
the bread and butter state" South
Dakotas sons carried long sticks
bearing on the point long ears of
corn; while North Dakota bore aloft
sheaves of wheat. Each Iowan car
ried big ear Of native corn on the
side where formerly canteens were
borne, these ears being suspended
from the right by broad new yellow
ribbons They passed the reviewing
stand shouting in unison:
''Hurrah, hurrah for corn and hay!
We are the boys from Ioway!"
In many cases men of national rep
utation walked with their posts. Kan
sas numbered in her line Pension Com
missioner Ware and former United
States Senator PETER, Gen, Keller
walked for a time with the Ohioans,
and Gen, Grenyille M, Dodge put in
the greater part of the day along side
the commander of the Iowa depart
ment, carrying his corn canteen and
going on foot as did his comrades.
Arizona had the smallest representa-
tiOn-three men. Innumerable bands
were in line, among the more notable
being the McFadden fife and drum
corps of Council Bluffs, Iowa, and the
light guard band of Detroit.
Many Reunions.
Camp Roosevelt was again the
scene of number of reunions. The
Grant tent was occupied by the Army
Of the Potomac, Sherman tent by the
fifteenth army corps, the Sheridan
tent by the eighth army corps, Meade
tent by the fourteenth army corps and
the Farragut tent by the naval veter-
ans
