the following complimentary mention
Of Gen. H. b. Stoddard
Besides having twelve of her

Of having one of three living past

an, holding that honor. Despite his
20 years General Stoddard marched
through the whole route Of the pa
rade this afternoon. Tonight from s
to II reception was given by the
Texas knights. among the guests be-
ing Acting Grand Commander Will
liam B. Melish of Cincinnati. and 9TH
er distinguished knights from all parts
of the country.
The Texas headquarters at the Con-
gress hotel, simply but tastily decor
ated. present a marked contrast to
the rooms of the other Southern
States in that no liquor is served to
the callers. At the Kentucky head
quarters "old bourbon" and highballs
are freely handed out to callers while
at the Louisiana rooms gin fizzes and
Creole cocktails are dispensed. This
thoughtfulness on the part of Texas
knights has made a great hit with
the local temperance workers, as well
as those from other states.
Frequent mention has been made in
the papers of Gen. Stoddard's stalks
of cotton and cotton balls. The cot.
ton has caused much commend among
the Sir Knights who do not live in
cotton countries and the green balls
are eagerly sought as souvenirs.
