little japanese boy, made. out of a
little American, but so well made
that he might have fooled the mi

Then other Japs ushered them in
to rom where three japanese
maidens, originally, Mrs. Harper,
Miss Edna Osburn and Miss Le-
ona Webber. all. made up in a style
that fooled most of their best friends
sat on the floor, and served with
the aid of chopsticks, rice in tiny
bowls, Thence the guests passed
| into another room where num-
Der of japanese danes served tea.
! A peculiarly of the visit to Japan
was that everybody in the place
was dumb as packsaddles. No
body spoke word. The guests
were directed from one room to an
other by wave of the hand. This
with the odor of the incense, the
.drapery, the strange costumes all
made the guest expect any moment
to be ushered into the presence of
big Joss, before whom he should be
required to fall down and worship.
The Mikado was not at home to
travellers. DR.. Pernot was how
ever with his pianola, and fine
music was feature of the trip
through Japan.
Things were awfullv stiff over in
England, when the excursionists
arrived, but still the epresentation
was immense, The moment the
traveller got into Hengland he was
at once impressed that everything
was Henglish. The first thing to
do after entering Miss Kline's
home, which was Hingland, was to
take look at King Edward,
mounted on his blarsted throne
He was Clerk Crawford, and his
queen was Mrs. Danneman. The
guests bowed obeisance, and back
ed out of the presence, to encount-
er he lord mayor Of London, in
the rear. Also the lord mayoress.
They were Mr.. and Mrs. Mcmahon
Mrs Wellsher was an attendant to
the latter, and Levi Oren in a big
uniform and helmet did a similar
stunt for the royal couple. Miss
Pearl Simpson was lady in wait
ing to the queen. In another
part of the house dainty refresh
ments were served. The music
was graphophone.
Florida was representation of
the sunny southland. Mrs. Sarah
Moore's home was the scene. A
darkey met the traveller at the door.
In front room company of
young people sang southern melo-
dies. They were attired in sum-
mer raiment. and were surrounded
by palms and other tropical plants.
A pair of negro children did cake
walk for the entertainment of the
guests while the latter discussed
the refreshments which were or
anges and bananas. One of the
best features in Florida, and Flor
ida was mighty god, was "yaller
gal" in a straw hat t,immed in
red flowers, with dress of calico,
and all appointments perfect. The
was Mrs Francisco.
1t was the While House at the
M. Jacobs home. Walter Taylor
played he was president of U. Sand
Mrs Beach, Mrs. Roosevelt. Miss
Eta Carter was Alice, Miss Bessie
Danneman was Columbia, Will
Yates was Secretary Root, Harry
Cronise, some other member of the
cabinet, Mark Hanna, maybe of the
kitchen cabinet, and Mrs. Laferty
was Mrs. justice ofthe supreme
court. When questioned, the pres
ident said he had nothing to add Ito
what. had already been said on
the subject of race suicide. The re
freshment was punch, which ev'
that partook. said was
very fine. The application of Am
erica as represented here was very
complete, and every excursionist
enjoyed it.
