Billy Hamilton and George Peters
returned home from the st. Louis ex-
position last night, red. radiant and
reminiscent Billy amilton states
that he had an awful time with
George Peters. 1t was all he could
do to keep him from remaining with
the Igorrote ladies and following
them off to foreign lands. Then there
were the dusky maidens from the
desert with their flaming oolors and
highly scented personalities Even
with these George would have gone
had it not been for the faithful BILLY,
who was constantly kept alert to re-
srtraiu Mr.. Peters youthful ardor.
one of the things that embarrassed
Billy greatly was the fact that George
wanted to tell everybody that he was
born in Montrose and had never been
east of Gnnnison and that he was
tho principal owner in a hog ranch.
When they met the queen of the
Jerusalem village Mr.. Peters told Of
the hog ranch and the belle of the
village would have taken George to
her heart and accompani sd him home

the boys had fine time and they say

No organization is more well
come within this city than the
members of the Woodmen of the
World, and, on behalf of the
people, The Sentinel extends
them most cordial greeting.
Throughout the day, which
has been fair, the streets of the
city have been thronged with
members of the order belonging
to the various camps of the coun-
ty, and one need only glance at
the men and women to realize
that the membership of this or
der is made up of the best in

provide for their families for the
future by the benefit to be de
rived from an insurance with
this order that has already done

BIG BANQUET
IN HONOR OF
ALVA ADAMS.

Denver, Nov. I7.-Plans are
now under way for a mammoth
banquet in honor of Governor
elect Alva Adams, 1t is to be
given by the Democratic Club at
an early date. Harry +. Insley,
John F. Harley and Joseph
Moore began the project Tues
day. The purpose is TO make the
event the largest affair of its
kind ever given a public man i'll
the West.
So far the committee on ar
rangements has been unable to
secure a hall large enough to ac-
commodate the people who want
to attend the banquet. 1t will be
a popular banquet, the cost of
the plates to be 81 each. 1t is
very likely that the affair will
have to be given in the Coliseum,
since that is the largest public
hall i'll the city. Promoters of
the banquet say there will prob
ably be I 900 plates laid. Dem
ocrats big and small, throughout
the state will have invitations to
come to Denver and join in hon
oring Governor elect Adams on
his successful campaign.
Among the speakers, the list
of whom will be arranged later,
will be the most prominent Dem
ocratic orators i'll Colorado. And
unless plans fail William Jen-
nings Bryan of Nebraska will be
among the honored guests from
outside states. 1t will be one of
those old-faslIioned Democratic
Publications.
The date oil the banquet VIII
be announced later. 1t will prob
ably be the latter part of No
vember. That matter is now i'll
the hands Of the Democratic
Club. II viii be the first time in
the history of the party in Colo
RADIO that so many Democrats
will have come together in such
large numbers to celebrate the
result of an election. Right i'll
Denver the number of banquet
ers will exceed 500, according 10
members of the entertainment
committee. Governor elect Ad-
ans will be the guest of honor
and will make the principal ad.
dress of the evening.
