youth asked a lettering man.
"How could that be. you saucy boy.
When life is but a span?"
Your grizzly locks and crippled leg
Hark back to the Mexican fght?"
mo, no; my lad, that was forty eight
But it was glorious sight"
''Y our old SLOUGH hat and martial air
Show you've been in the service long"
40. yes; marched in the Grand Review
Of two hundred thousand strong.
"That's about the number mustered cut
Of soldiers and sailors true
Who bore the flag through forest and field,
Or sailed DER the ocean blue"
"Were you blue or gray Appomattox day,
When the dove of peace flew down."
"Do look like corn-fed Rebel?"
He answered with frown.
His eyes flashed with baleful light,
His face turned pale and wan;
He staggered to the roadside
The poor old soldier was gone.
He murmured as he was dying,
heard rim as kneeled down,
''Do you hear the bugles blowing.
And the drums about the town."
But I'm tired, tired, tired!
Comrade let u sleep awhile.
Sound the taps Lights out!'
Der his face crept peaceful smile.

to take down our American flags be-
fore proceeding. 1t seems to be some
rule of the park that no flags can be
carried into the park, but | told them
there was no place in the west where
the American flag could not float at all
times, and it was the first time | had
ever travelled on American soil where
the American flag had to be hauled
down. Philadelphia, however, is a
wonderful city, and our people of the
west should know more about the
gracious hospitality of it's people and
of it's 10000 manufacturing industries.
eve next visited Pittsburg for a
half date, and from there we journey
to Columbus, Ohio, where we were
greeted by Governor Harmon. Cover
nor Harmon had first met our party at
Cleveland, received us warmly, escort
ed us to Dayton, Cincinnati and then
was good enough join us for the rest
of the tour, remaining with. us until
we returned to st. Paul.
Our last stop was Indianapolis,
Indiana, where we were greeted by
Governor Marshall, the mayor and a
committee of citizens. While in the
city we were shown the different in
dustires and beauty spots of the city,
and entertained at a luncheon by the
Commercial club, where Governor
Marshall delivered an address of well
come, to which / responded in behalf
Of all Of the governors. After luncheon
we visited James Whitcomb Riley in
his home, and he seemed very much
gratified to meet the western govern
ors. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon we
left for st. Paul, with every hope full
filled and every ambition realized rela-
tive to the running of the Western
Governors Special.
Upon returning to st. Paul the
governors held a conference, arrang-
ing for meetings of this character in
future. l was more gratified at this
than any one thing that occurred dur
ing the tour, for it demonstrated that
we had not only brought back to St
Paul more governors than we started
east with, but we brought them back
feeling that they must not separate
without first having a calm and DELHI
crate consultation over the work they
had done and the work that they will
do in future This tour means that
the governors of the western states
have come to know each other better
and have learned the need of co-opera-
ton in the west, in order to secure
that attention from the east and from
the national congress that the west
deserves, and I predict that in the flu
ture, regardless of political affiliation,
the governors of the west will work
together in a more harmonious way
than they have ever done before, and
that this will result in greater ad-
vancement of the west in all ways,
than has ever been done in the his
tory of our country.
Il cannot refrain at this time, from
expressing my high appreciation OF
the splendid work done by the man
ager of the Western Governors Special
Reilly Atkinson. He was the right man
in the right place, and contributed ma
terially to the success of the under
taking: and it is only just that should
say that Governor James H. Hawley

us in New York City, and we were en-
tertained by John A. Sleicher, owner
of Leslie's Weekly, at a banquet, where
practically all OF the owners and edi-

also entertained at dinner by John
Hays Hammond at the Rocky Mountain
club, where over 400 banqueters were
present.
"In going from New York to Wash
ington it was necessary to go via Bal
timore and when we reached the Bal
timOre tunnel 1t was found to be too
small for our splendid train, equipped
and furnished by the Great Northern
railway, and we had to run special to
Washington and leave our exhibit cars
behind. We were met in Washington
by the commissioners of the district,
the president of the board of trade, and
members of the National Press asso-
citation, as we'll as members of the
house and senate. The different men,
bers of the party were entertained by
their state delegations. The Idaho
party was entertained at beautiful
luncheon given by Senator Hepburn in
the Capitol building, at which were
present Senator Borah, Congressman
French, General George II. Roberts,
Addison T. Smith, and other promln-

were entertained at dinner at the
White House given by the president,
and later in the evening we were en-
tertained by the National Press asso-
citation, representing over 24O cores
pondents of the leading papers OF the
United States. The newspaper boys
turned the meeting over to us and ap-
pointed me as chairman. and IL was
one of the most enjoyable meetings
that we had on the tour, for every one
of the governors responded 10 toasts
and every one of them did splendidly
"From Washington we went to Bal
timore and were received by Governor
Strothers in due form. Here we also
met seven of the southern governors.
This was one of the most pleasant
meetings of our tour. The southern
governors greeted us warmly, but they
stated they could not consent to our
taking all of their good people to the
west.

DOGS EYE GRATED ON MANS
American Oculst Restores Lost Sight
by Performing Wonderful OPP
Grafton.

That a person totally blind from
ophthalmia, even from birth, can be.
made to see by having a portion Of a
dogs eye grated on his own was the
startling communication made by Doc
tor Borsch, an American oculist at
present in Paris, in a paper read be-
fore the meeting of the French Oph-
thalmia society few days ago.
Doctor Borsch explained that as ..
result of blindness from ophthalmia,
Is also from some other causes, the
cornea, which is the transparent mem
brane In front of the eye, becomes
Opaque and In such a case the only
chance of restoring sight Is to replace
the defective cornea by healthy ono.
To perform this feat, DR.. Borsch
drst operates on dog and lays back
from Its eye the conjuncuvea or skin
Of the eyeball surrounding the corneA.
He removes portion OF the latter
and places 1t aside in blood serum.
He then performs the same operation
on the patients eye, removing part Of
the front Of the eye of the same size
as the cornea, taken from the animal
The dogs cornea Is now placed I'M
position on the human eye and So
cured with stitches Of the finest pos.
sible silk. the surrounding skin. which
had been laid back, being brought into
place over the edge of the cornea and
also sewn.
The new graft unites with the eye

JOHN W. GATES AND THE CAB
Little Gambling Episode in Which
"Watch-Me" Was Able to Say
"You Lose" Three Times.

A Gates anecdote that never got
so far as it deserved. If it was true.
was about his riding down town from
a New York hotel In cab with a stock
market friend.
'Tll match you," said John Watch
me, ito see whether you or l buy this
horse and cab from the driver, II it's
his"
1t was cabby's. SO they matched,
and John Watch-me had the satisfac.
ton Of saying, You lose" The bar.
gain struck, John Watch-me had an.
other proposition to offer the new
owner.
Now I'll match you," he said. ito
see whether you keep the outfit or
whether you sell 1t back to cabby at
his own price" And once more John
Watch-me said, You lose"
Here it dawned upon Gates COM
panion that in the last match John
Watch-me had stood no chance to lose,
whichever way 1t went, and he made
remarks.
"All right" said John Watch me,
I'll match you to see whether you or
stand the difference between the
buying and the selling price, For
what he had just sold cabby would
only give buying price that was just
500 less. This was the stake in the
last match, and for the third time
John Watch-me was able to say, You
lose"
