Unity in Decorations Desired.

To obtain unanimity it is suggested
by Mr.. Nye that the decorations be in
charge Of the general committee and
that the expense be taken from the gen,
eral fund. Convention cities have We'd
with each other for years in producing
the best effects and it will devolve upon
Minneapolis to beat the record.
In convention halls the city will be
well supplied next year. The armory
has a main floor 100 by 100 feet, the
largest west of New York, approached
only by the st. Paul armory with drill
floor Of 100 by 120 feet. In addition
there is dance hall Of large dimen'
sions and banquet room for $50. The
courthouse central hall, with two G.
A. R. halls, will provide space for the
business gatherings. The armory will
be an ideal place for campires, as well
as the new Auditorium, with it's large
main room and other features.
A feature Of the parade will I'M
doubtedly be provided from Fort Smell
ling. Colonel Sweet, commander Of
the post, is a veteran Of fifty-fve bat
ties of the civil war, is member of
the Loyal Legion and in full sympathy
with the Grand Army. Undoubtedly
he would consent to parade the entire
garrison. This would include a regi
m1ent Of ten companies of infantry, two
battalions Of field artillery and a squad
ron Of four companies Of cavalry.

TT HE friendship of Gustat and David

Of the downtown thcaters. David was
a stranger in Chicago and eagerly
accepted the cordial invitation that
GUSTAV extended 10 him to visit at his
home. Gustaf's mother was n gray
haired woman who warmly seconded
the liking of her son for the young
man.
The two vioiinists became INSOFAR
able companions. They praeticed to-
gether. while Gustaf's mother accom-
panied them on the little cottage
organ They went out together. They
planned together and they dreamed to-
ether.
one day an offer came to Gustaf to
join an orchestra in Cincinnati. The
salary was tempting one But he
hesitated to leave home. Long and
earnestly he discussed the advantages
and disadvantages of the change with
David.
What would you afvise me to do?"
he asked his friend
The salary is good one said
David
But my mother cannot come with
me She owns her house here and she
could not leave it now
could she not sell the house?' in
quired David.
Perhaps. But that Will take time.
In the meantime she Will be here alone
and i will be in Cincinnati alone.
David. you will go 10 see her often
when l am away"
Selemnly did David promise. Gustaf
went away with lighter heart, hap
pier in the knowledge that David
would do all he could to prevent his
mother from missing him too sereiy.
His mothers letters, coming to him at
the regular weekly interval, reassured
him of any fears he might have for
her complete loneliness. The neigh
bors were ;ood to her. David came TO
see her occasionally a man was look

he should have seen Lake Michigan

David that he was coming, He would
go home first. Then he would go down
to the theater and wait for David and
bring him back with him. His mother
would have little supper for the three
of them to celebrate his homecoming.
AS he rang the bell of the little
house he was aglow with joy. His
mother opened the door and after a
cry of surprise caught him in an en-
brace of happiness. Then from the par
