reception and banquet in honor of
Dix Logan Post, 3, the wives of the
members of the Post, the Spanish War

and "reminiscences by the comrades.
Comrade Baer delighted his audience
by singing "Gallatin, My Gallatin," re-
spending to encore with recitation OF
one of Lincoln's favorite poems, Your
Mission" Several resolutions were then
adopted and the entertainment, which
will long be remembered with pleasure,
was brought to a close by the singing

LADIES OF THE G. A. r..
Notes From National Headquarters,
Kansas City, Mo.

The National President, Della r.
Henry, has been more than busy dur
ing the past two months visiting Con-
ventions and keeping up her Office work.
Following her visit to the Kansas De-
partment Convention with the Com
mander-in-Chief, where she addressed
an audience that crowded the large
opera house to the apparent delight of
all, If one may judge by the applause
she received, she visited the Depart
ment Convention of Oklahoma at Alva.
A committee composed of Past Depart
ment Commanders called on Mrs Henry
and escorted her to the Department
Encampment, G. A. R., where she was
given an ovation by the comrades.
When in her address she told them
what the Ladies of the Grand Army
were doing for the comrades and what
the Order meant to them and their de-
scendants, many veteran wiped tear
from his bronzed cheek and applauded
her to the echo. At the conclusion of
her address all the comrades insisted
on shaking hands with her, and an in
formal reception was held, at the close
of which she led them In singing God
Be With You Till We Meet Again"

ors. Department Commander Smy.,l In
introducing her to the Encampment
paid Mrs. Henry a high compliment,
and spoke of her as an old friend whom
he had known for many years as an
earnest worker for the veterans of the
great war, and expressed his great
pleasure that she had received the hon
ors she has earned by her untiring and
faithful work so well performed. Mrs.
Henry addressed the Encampment, and
gave them the greetings of the order.

plauded She won the hearts of the

was cut off from worthy soldier, an
injustice which ought to be remedied.
This little drummer was always popu-
lar with the soldiers, and he has con-
tinued to be up to the present time, as
was evinced at his election, when he
was put up against two eX-Governors,
and his continuous election as Presi-
dent of the Washington County Veter-
ans Association for the past eight
years. This election should be more
honorable and pleasing because it was
voluntary act on the part of the COM
rades and required no electioneering or
work on the part of Comrade Foster.
After the war young Foster attended
schools and colleges, and was gradual
ed as a doctor of medicine and became
a skilful physician. The Doctor is now
retired, has held many places of honor,
is a good speaker, singer and pianist
and a wide-awake Grand Army man.
The ''old boys' think they have made
no mistake in his election.
