Some New Wrinkles at

Chicago, May 23.-Unless you are prepared to
work eighteen hours day and TO think while
you sleep waking every and then to write
your thoughts on a memorandum pad that swings
by cord from a post at the head of your bed
don't apply for the place of sergeant

AS some individuals have imagined YOU may
fancy that the place is a sinecure with fat sal
ary Of 5000 a year attached. but Billy Stone
of Baltimore could tell you If il were possible for
him 10 find the time TO spare, that it's a Job
wherein the strenuous life" is stretched to the
limit. He might enlishten you also on the question
Of salary, and If he did you would learn that the
man on whom rests the responsibility for the
smoothness of the physical workings Of the con-
vention and for the comfort of the fifteen or
twenty thousand persons who take part in il gets
no pay at all, but rather performs a labor of love
To be successful the sergeant-at-arrns must be
a ploughman, a carpenter. saRInll superintend-
ent painter. decorator, bandmaster an ex-
pert electrician, master in acoustics, a head
usher, a restaurant manager, chief of police a
fire marshal, the head Of a hospital and above
ALL the possessor Of doctors degree in diplomacy
Billy Stone discovered all that. He is do
ing the best he TO meet the requirements.
II you could show credentials that would entitIe

door Of the Coliseum, at 18th street and Wabash
avenue. Chicago, at o'clock tomorrow morning

PREPARING FOR A NATIONAL CONVENTION

Then Mr. Stones companion explained that the
man who attempted TO the first furroW in the
arena that the dirt might be loosened and hauled
out with scrapers a novice in agriculture, and
Mr.. Stone had to show him how to hold the plough
We'll we got the dirt out" said MI Stone and
then began putting down a floor Of materials that
would deaden sound. That is one of the principal
things to look out for-to arrange the hall so that
the movement of feet will make little noise as
possible. Delegates, you know, are sometimes
heavyweights. and sometimes they pretty
lively, and If the floor should creak under one Of
them during speech report the platform the
situation would be uncomfortable
While the floor was being put II Offices had to
be prepared for the subcommittee on arrange
ments and for the national committee To make
the machinery Of the convention smoothly it
had been found best have the committee rooms
and the convention hall under one roof if possible
The annex to the Coliseum was placed at our dis
posal for committee rooms but It was in no shape
for such purpose.
The walls white and shiny. Imagine what
a strain on the eyes that would be for men who
worked day and night. It is the duty of the ser
geantat-arns to look after the physical wellbeins
of those who attend take part in the convention
1t wouldn't do to have the eyes of the office force
injured, so we had the walls painted as you see
them"
AS he spoke he waved hand at the wall In
Chairman News office The lower portion was a
dark green and the upper part Of a near-canary
hue, the two harmonious and restful to the eye.
Now here continued Mr.. Stone, passing to a
much larger room in the annex 'fs where the
contesting delegations will assemble TO present
their cases TO the national committee. Over there
will be the postofiicc. a complete branch of the
Chicago postoffice. ready to transact all ordinary
business Of such an Office. On former occasions
members of the national committee have been
much annoyed by being buttonholed by members
OF contesting delegations whenever the committee
men found 1t necessary to pass from their meeting
place to the Office of the chairman or secretary
There will not be any such annoyance at this con-
vention.
