KANSAS AT THE WORLD'S
FAIR
SunflOWer

Everywhere you look in the Kansas
building you see the suntiower' the
typical flower of the state, says the st
Louis Republic concerning the Kansas
building at the Worlds fair. 1t sshown
in mosaics in the entrance. in the deco
rations in score of places and over the
first landing of the main stairway there
are lao incandescent lights, each OF
which is set in sunaower.
"You can't lose the suntiower II
you're Kansan." said Commissioner
Carpenter.
While you may think the sunfiower is
the basis of all art in Kansas, you will
be deceived, for Kansas has an art gal
Iery around the wall on the second ioor'
where pictures painted by Kansas art
lists are shown. There is a variety OF
subjects treated; in fact, about every
conceivable subject. One of the striking
pictvres is of young girl standing on
a stile; her hair is blown about her. her
skirts are floating in the breeze the
grain is bending in the wind and she is
gavly waving her hat. "a Kansas
Zephyr" it is rightly dubbed.
Several of the other states have an
art gallery. among them Wisconsin and
Connecticut, and all the states show art
work by native artists. Kansas also
has a small hospital in its building, as
have Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and sever
al of the others. In these hospitals ma
tiyes of the respective states will be
cared for if they are sick or hurt during
a visit on the fair grounds until their
friends can be found and they can either
be sent to some friends house in town
or to a hospital.

Miss c. M. Laurent contributes to the
art gallery of the Kansas State build

prosaic subjects she has executed some
works OF art that appeal to the layman
as pictures that are true to nature. and
TO art critics as bits of work that prove
the painter an artist.

Washington's birthday was celebra-
ted with considerable attention by sew
eral of the local fraternal organizations.
Perhaps the most elaborate function in
the celebration line was the banquet
of the Lincoln Knights of the Ancient
Order of United Workmen This is not
an essential part of the A o. U. w. but
consists of men who are or have been
old members of the local lodges. Once
q year the Lincoln Knights gather from
Tar and near for a banquet and the re-
union of old timers is turned into a
celebration of the birthday of the faith
ef OF the country. It has been organ
lzed for several years and has proven
uniformly successful. Among the
membership are Workmen who former
~ were active in the local lodges but
have since moved to other parts of the
country. Several of these came back
TO Topeka for the Washington's birth
DAY banquet at the Throop hotel last
Monday night. At that banquet Cyrus
Guthrie acted as POSTMASTER. After the
serving of the banquet there followed
q number of very good toasts. c. E.
Foote, who was formerly at the bend
OF all the Workmen of the country was
the principal speaker of the evening.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1904-02-27

His speech was wholly of a patriotic
nature and was very warmly received.
Among the other prominent Workmen
who spoke were L. NJ. PenWell, Frank
Specht, Ed Sheets, John Clancy, John
Feiger, E. E. Miller, Nate Cafferty, J.
J. Lannan, F. H. Mcneil. ]. w. Glib
bons and A. A. Rulings. The speeches
were short and were interspersed with
musical numbers.
On Monday night also the Turner's of
the city held a large dance and enter
tainment which was attended by $50
persons. including members and their
families. During the evening a fancy
dress ball was held more than 100 cou-
pies taking the floor. A prize was
awarded to Miss Anna Sachs as the
Wearer of the most artistic costume.
She represented a flower girl and wore
very effective toilet.
The members of Ark No. so, K P. A.
gave an entertainment at its hall on
Tuesday evening which was one of the
few really large fraternaI entertain
ments that have been held in Topeka.
The programme was of a literary and
musical character and was presented
by exceptionally fine local talent. Be
sides numbers by an exceptionally good
male quartette the following persons
presented parts of the programme: Miss
Cecil Anthony, piano; Mrs. w. E.
Atchison, reading, original poem;
Harry Cohn, piano; F. w. Swearingen.
cornet; Albert Lewis, violin; w. G..
Fairchild and Claude Fairchild, vocal
numbers; Fred Beach, recitation;
Frank Faulkenstein, violin.
This entertainment was, of course,
not precisely a Washington's birthday
celebration, but following close after
the anniversary it's numbers were large
ly of a more or less patriotic nature
1t is largely through the influence ex-
erted by the fraternal order that the
spirit of patriotism is maintained in
the present generation. Few lodges but
make an observance of national holt
days a point and few which do not
strive to instill veneration for the
flag and for the patriots who have de-
Tended it.
