Mollie, the leader, had jumped from
the bed, and seated herself on a
trunk. Now, girls" she began.
Dave has promised to help us out.
(Dave was the negro in charge of the
dining room.) He has promised that
the plates will be ready to set the
tables, and the cakes and all are
waiting for us. All we have to do
now is, when the mystic hour of
twelve sounds from the tower clock,
to light the candles and walk down
stairs backward"
A shiver of excitement ran through
the crowd. "And set the table back
ward" said one. "And put the
chairs up the same way" whispered
, another. "And then the ghost of
your future husband will appear and
sit down beside you"
The big clock with its silvery chime,
was on the magic stroke of twelve,
And a line of pretty girls stood ready
with lighted candles held over their
left shoulders to make the descent
into the dining room and solve the
problem of future husband.
But the boys on the other side of
the campus had heard all about II
and had bribed the negro Dave to
let them into the dining room at the
right time. The table was set. and
the extra chair placed by each girl
for her future husbands approval
when in stalked, as noiselessly as
possible. fifteen or twenty cadets
wrapped In white sheets, and each
seated himself by the girl of his
choice.
The result can be better imagined
than described, but it nearly ended
seriously for all and many Of the
girls had to make great promises to
keep from having to pack their little
trunks and go home to mama" But
Just the same, it was lots of fun.

last night in october.
This Is a great time for the girls
ito tell their fortunes and find out
whom their future husbands are to
be. and for the boys to play practical
jokes upon those who most ldetesr
them. There are lots of ways TO find
out, upon this mystic night, the man
who will be the ''one man" for the
future. One way which is said to be
sure, Is to walk down the stairs
backward at twelve O'Clock at night
with a lighted candle in your hand
and. still walking backward, go tC

Special drills for all companies and
officers schools ct the armory cam
pus tonight and tomorrow night.

The Journal Cadet brigade made it's
bow to the public last night, appro-
priately enough on the occasion Of the
Grand Army memorial exercises at the
Auditorium. An immense audience was
attracted, seats on the stage being pro-
vided to accommodate the overflow, and
fully thousand people were unable
to gain admission to the building.
Every G. A. R. post in the city was
represented. -....
The cadets, to the number of $50,
divided into seven provisional COM
panies, fully uniformed in khawi and
headed by the Journal Newsboys band,
marched on to the stage, each company
saluting the audience and then falling
back to the right, left and rear SO as
to form three sides of a hollow square.
The colors were brought forward and
saluted, while the band played the
tain at the rear was drawn aside, dis
closing a civil war veteran, a national
guardsman and journal cadet in
uniform, representative of the senti
ment of the "Past, Present and Flu
ture of Our Country's Defenders.'
Demand Encores.
The great audience was enthusiastic
| over the spectacle and three encores
were demanded. Hearty applause also
greeted each cadet company as it APP
peared on the stage, lined up in front
of the footlights and saluted. The
| massing of $50 boys in so small space
| would have been difficult to accomplish
| entirely without confusion had they
| been thorOly schooled veterans. AS it
was, there was some evidence Of
greenness and stage-fright that was to
be expected. Considering that there
had been but one rehearsal, and it was
their first public appearance, the cadets
did nicely and the hearty applause they
received, denoting the warm sympathy
Of the people of Minneapolis with the
purpose of the organization, will un-
doubtel!y be an inspiration. to them to
work for Improvement.
Rev. G.. L. Morrill, paid glowing
| tribute to the boys and the sentiment
that inspired them. He approved of
the organization of the cadet brigade
by The Journal as being, thru
discipline, supplemental to obedience
taught at home, to the lesson of patri-
otism as taught in the schools, and to
the spirit of reverence taught by the
church. The Journa al itself, as a
newspaper, has been a source of for
nation, information and reformation in
it's public-spirited policy. He praised
the boys for the good showing they
had made in the last two months, and
predicted that they will do honor to
themselves and Minneapolis at the ma
tional Grand Army reunion in August.
