STORES OF THE FLOATS
Aftermath of the Semi Centennial
Parade.

Now that the Kansas Semi -Centen-
nlal parade is a thing of the past some
interesting incidents have leaked out
regarding the work of preparation

Gus nature. Murder will out" and
the leaves have ears are two old
sayings and when there is an effort
made to keep things a secret there is
usually a little bird to ''let the cat
out of the bag
The first story, however, does not
deal with letting anything out of the
bag' but getting an insect into one.
although Kansas is famous for her
grasshoppers it was necessary for l. L.
Sargeant who made the first sketch for
the grasshopper float which attracted
much attention in the parade to cap
ture a live model, and thereon hangs
the tale.
Sergeant not being an entomologist
in the first place it is told, did not
know just where to look for the in
sect, and after spending a half hour
turning over some stones he almost
stepped on q big fellow that was chew
ing a blade of grass. Then started
merry chase which lasted many pre-
cious moments and when the hopper was
finally safely within the grasp of the
artist the captor was so exhausted that
he did not recover from the effects of
the exertion for day.
That Is the way the story was told
and Sergeant did not deny that ne had
{. grasshoppeF experience. However,
when asked if he could furnish a story
to sdd to the list he said: Il couldn't
see anything funny-it was all work.
A colored man was so delighted with
the Indian on horseback who formed
a portion of the float, 1.-The westward

artists, and said: What you all gwine

of building the floats was in the build
ing at the time and he was asked to
pass judgment upon the request. After
argument it was agreed
to give the horse and Inaian to the
colored man provided that the entire
force of artists be invited to an un-
\ eiling ceremony which viii he held
in the near future. The men who
handle the paint brush are looking
forward with great anticipation to the
arrival of the time on which the af-
fair Will be held.
Great secrecy was observed in re-
gard the work on the floats and
when a colored chap poled his head in
through crack in the door of the old
stable opposite the governors mansion,
Pettyjohn thought he would
have some fun. He picked up a bucket
of white paint with the intention OF
changing the complexion of the ne

and much to the disgust of the would

On ''clean up day. a husky colored
