YANKEE SHOWED THEM.
An American Put Dignity Into Lord
Mayors Procession.

London, Nov. 9-The lord mayors
show today, celebrating the installation
of Sir George Truscott in succession
to Sir John Charles Bell, was a more
dignif1ed and more interesting spec
tacle than usual OF late years the
ceremony had become a mere circus
procession, unworthy the dignity of an
official celebration.
The principal feature today was the
historical pageant organized by Louis
N. Parker, an American dramatist.
Poets and musicians from Chaucer to
Milton and many of the most notable
figures of those times appeared in the
parade costumed with historical ac-
curacy. Shakespeare was naturally
most conspicuous and was accompanied
by a picturesque encourage of charac-
ters from his plays. Chaucer who head
ed the pageant, was followed by band
of personageS of his creation, and Spen-
Ger and Marlowe were attended in like
manner. A striking feature was Will
lam Caxton on a float with a group Of
printers working an ancient printing
press. These historical pageants will
be continued progressively in future
shows. Several companies of militia,
in gorgeous costume and a number of
bands of music completed the spec
tacle. The weather was perfect and
brought out a great crowd.

Laporte, Ind, Nov. 9.-Breathing

THIS IS INDIAN SUMMER.
The Weather Is What Might Be
Called Ideal.

Topeka is experiencing Indian
summer has been for more than
week and will be for some time to
come. as far as the weatherman can
see ahead. The popular supposition is
that Indian summer is due some time
in October, but there is where the
prevailing idea is wrong. Indian sum-
mer is that period of the fall where
the weather conditions are just exactly
right and while it is supposed to be
due during the later part of October
frequently it does not arrive in this
part of the world for a week or so
later.
When the sky is filled with blue and
a mellow haze loafs laz1Iy about the
horizon and there are no clouds in the
heavens to interfere with the rays OF
the sun When the 'possom dog bays
at the moon and the woods call long
and loud just as the moon comes in
sight and one is filed with longing
for a midnight trip after the dogs into
the woods where the 'possum and
coons make their homes; those are
the nights which accompany the days
of Indian summer and they are here.
Forgetting all about it, the tempera-
lures since o'clock this morning

He Is Mentioned as a Successor to
President Andrews.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. civilian J.
Bryan may become chancellor of the
University of Nebraska, succeeding Dr.
E. Benjamin Andrews, who rendered
his resignation to the board of regents
on account of i'll health last week.
Members of the board decline to dis
cuss the question of DR.. Andrews sue
cessor. They say it is their rule to act
secretly in such matters and that moth
ing can be given out for publication
until the place has been proffered and
accepted.
In university circles, however, gossip
links the name of Mr.. Bryan with the
CHARACTERISTIC. Mr.. Brayn was asked
for an expression today and said that
he had not previously heard of the
rumor and that there was nothing con-
cerning the situation which would
warrant him in making any statement.
The chancellorship pays an annual
salary of $4,000. DR.. Andrews was Of
fered $1,000 two years ago. but declined
an increase on the ground that other
departments of the university were in
greater need of the money. He is to
retire as chancellor early in the year
and take a long European tour. After
this trip he will lecture and write on
sociological and economic questions.
