BIG PARADE
WAS SUCCESS
Fifteen Threshing Machines
Were in Line
WAS UNIQUE AFFAIR
Nothing Like 1t Had Ever Been
Seen Before
AFFAIR

Yesterday afternoon Wichita witnessed
the parade OF threshing machines and
threshermen. There was never anything
like it atatempted in this city before
nor in any other city. and it was stated
by the representative of one of the larg-
est threshing machine companies IN the
country that they never had as many
different machines in one line before.
There were fifteen machines in the pa
rade and seventeen companies were rep
resented in the line.
Wichita never turned out a larger
crowd of her own people TO see parade
before and there We're several thou
sand strangers who came TO this city for
the one purpose Of seeing this unique
parade Wichita may well feel proud Of
her threshing machine business. Every
one of the companies represented in the
parade has an agent in this city and
transact their business for al of southern
Kansas and northern oklahoma from the
general offices here. There we're one or
two companies with general agencies here
which were not represented in the pa
rade Fifteen engines ana separators
make quite a long string of machinery
and il was a very novel sight to watch
the machines moving in line.
Every detail of the program had been
carefully arranged and there was not
h.tcn in the whole ARA ngement. and the
threshing machines did something no
other parade ever did in Wichita-they
started on time.
The machines were steamed up and in
line long before o'clock and they were
ready TO start. The representatiN IS who
were TO ride in carriages We're on hand,
the bands were in position and within
two minutes Of the starting time Mr..
Tracy, the marshal. gave the signal the
engine whistles footed, the bands played.
and the parade was moving on its line
Of march.
The parade was given under the most
unfavorable conditions. Ever since the
first of the week rain had fallen almost
necessarily. The streets were next to
impossible and the heavy engines were
taxed to their utmost in making the trip.
The mud was five inches deep and il
stuck to the wheels. filling up the spaces
between the slugs and the drive wheels
could hardly get hold in the mud. The
engines are heavy and to drag the sep
arators through the mud when each
wheel had TO make its own track was
heavy strain. Fourteen OF the engines
made the entire trip. one became mired
and all of its power could not get it
out. The other machines pulled around
it.
There is something fascinating in
threshing machine in motion. The com
pact engines with the very wide wheels
and whirling balance wheel. the separ-
ators, those in line yesterday, were red.
clumsy looking concerns, but one could
not help thinking Of the great work these
machines do each year in taking the ber-
ries from the straw and putting the
grain in such shape that it can be used
by the millers.

And the last outfit was the one that
brought forth the greatest amount Of

line engine mounted and the thresher-
men were greatly interested in it.

members Of the T. N P. A followed.
There were several hundred members

Last night the Threshermen went to
the performance of The Bohemians' at

thresherman a ticket. The performance

The R0indrOD'S Story.

One rainy day, as sprightly little
feldmouse was sitting near the door
of his house. greedlly chewing a grain
Of corn, raindrop fell on leaf beside
him.
"Where did you come from ?" asked
the feldmouse, LOOKING anxlously at
the rain drop and wondering whether
he would get an answer or not.
"From the sky" answered the rain
drop, very readily "but my real home
is the sea. One day, as I was playing
with my brothers and sisters in that
beautiful home of ours, the hot sun
shone upon us. 1t drew many Of US
up into the sky. I was among them.
We could see the green fields and beau
tiful flowers far beneath. We came
close together and formed white
fleecy cloud. Pretty soon chilly wind
began to blow. We crowded together
to get warm. We became so heavy we
could not stay up in the clear air. We
came tumbling down and I have
alighted here too" But just then a
sparrow, who was very thirsty, COB
bled the raindrop up 80 quickly that
he did not have time to. finish bis
story.
Every little raindrop has its work to
do Just as every little child has. If
this one had not gone to quench the
thirst of one of Gods sparrows it
might have given new life to blade
of grass or pretty flower of the field.
God cares for all his little creatures
and gives each one work to do for
him.

The only foundation for such rumor is the
fact that the Board OF Directors having reason

done at the suggestion ofthe architect who,

Reflections Of u Bachelor.


It's never too late to spend if you've
got it.
Some of the shir. waists make bath
ing suits look very modest.
When q woman is dressed to put on
a low neck gown she is scared to death
if anybody sees her throat until it is
all undressed.
If she could only get well again
afterward, the average woman would
like to die every once in so often to
see how nice funeral she could
have.
Tight man, loose tongue.
A man wants to know if woman
loves him a woman why be loves
her.
After woman has told a story of
what happened to her for the second
time she can't recognize it herself.
The only thing that causes more un-
happiness than telling lies when they
ought not to be told is not telling
them when they ought to be.
Ones friends are like all choice in
vestments-thhy cost good money.
A girl likes to he girl 80 she can
like the boys to like her being one.

James Chalmers, clerk.

The Tampa Tribune remarks that
many a young man and boy could be
reclaimed from,the vile habit of pro-
family if he could only be reached by
the direct admonitiOn of some good
man or woman who would simply
prove to him that to swear is the act of
a fool, and that not even those who
practice profanity themselves admire
it in others, which is entirely true.
Boys learn it from their fathers and
elder brothers. But fathers and elder
brothers seldom relish this fruit of
their own planting. It is almost in
conceivable thata boy should learn to
swear from bis mother.
Women, except of the lowest order,
rarely swear. If any Of them did,
they could not geta moderately decent
man to come near them. There have
been cases where wives driven to
heroic treatment Of the habit of pro.
family in their husbands have made a
feint of adopting that habit them
selves. 1t has generally effected a
cure, although the Tribune cannot ad-
wise any one to proceed to so desperate
an extremity. But do not the simple
facts that this newspaper has stated
demonstrate the essential folly and
grossness of profanity.
