end of the function none in Fort Leav-
enworth knew how many were the
guests or whom those guests were.
The next day the post buZZed but
not with the buzz of anger. 1t was the
hum of the oft-repeated questioned,
But who was there?" And none could
answer Most naturally in the days
that followed no one could with pro-
priety question any of the mess as to
his party" and therefore days passed
In a far from blissful state of ignor-
ance. Finally the acquaintance of
babyhood days meeting Lieut.. Perry
could not longer withstand the strain,
and she pumped into the subject. al
lie perry" she demanded, who was
at that party you people gave the
other night? As far as / can learn
not soul in this post was even In
vited And then she was completely
upset when A1liea replied with all
seeming truth p"aMrs. X, I assure you
that there has not been guest in
our mess for over week" And that
covered the date to day. Further
more Perry told the exact truth, for so
It had been planned; and those flow.
ers and musicians and awnings, chairs
and caterers belongings were all a
part of the scenery, so to speak, of the
cleverest hoax that has ever been per-.
petrated on army matrons. While the
ladies in reception costumes with won
derful cloaks were the smaller mem
bers of that mess and their escorts
could be but six-foot Perry and the
other stable members of the same ag-
gregation Of jokers. The plan was
simple As q carriage was emptied 1t
scuttled around to the back line of the
quarters and the lately arrived guests
made haste to dash through from front
door to the one in rear and re-enter
the vehicle only to arrive at the party
! in proper manner once more. 1t was
Iilots Of trouble but then Perry and his
conlpadres didn't mind bit of trou-
BILE IL there was even small amount
of fun in the undertaking, and they
did have a lot of fun; but it was well
along towards next New Year before
that group of young men had occasion
to dine elsewhere than at their own
mess. Army ladies like a joke but
that was little too rich in its humor
as any hostess can easily see. But
that Is the story of the Perry party
in the old days at Fort Leayenworth
and Gen. McCook who was then in
command at that big post, had the
heartiest laugh over it of all that
knew-and everybody knew Gen. Nc
Cook saw to that.

rHE arrival of the holiday season
and its consequent entertainments
brings to mind the justly cele-
brated party given by the then Lieut..
Alex. W. Perry. now Capt. Perry, re.
tired, when that gay blade was a
bachelor at Fort Leavenworth in those
olden days IT il true that Perry had
ample assistance in his effort but 1t
was generally conceded that his was
the directing genius that evolved the
famous party and his the ingenuity
that met al difficulties and they were
many. At the time Lieut.. Perry was
. youngster Of cavalry. and with three
other yonthfuls lived in q set OF the
larger quarters on the main, parade.
As was often the custom in the army's
earlier days, these young officers con-
Quoted their own mess and right
wen did they live, too, with the aid of
Aunt Lucy whose fame as cook
was widespread and rightly so. The
mess had entertained frequently and
with lavish hospitality throughout what
had been an exceptionally gay winter
even for Fort Leaenworth In its palmy
days. Many after the hop suppers''
had included in their list OF guests
practically all OF the garrison so the
youngsters were really well up on OBJ
legations Of social nature and there
was therefore no real reason why an
additional entertainment was to be ex-
pected ct their hands and that was the
reason for the pleasurab1e excitement
that peryaded the post when It be.
came whispered about that Allie Per.
rvs mess was going to give q party,
and real party. too. No hop supper
but an evening affair with dancing,
something altogether different, you
know; for thus ran the news" around
the garrison. Perry and his people
were clever enough to let the "se-

Modernixins the Grand Jury.


The county attorneys of the state
amcng other things, contemplate an at
tack upon the grand jury as cumber-
come and needless piece OF legal ma
chinery in the ordinary processes OF
prosecution. 1t is proposed to ask The
legislature to abolish the grand jury
except a sa body of citizens called to-
gether in special cases and on extraor-
binary occasions, either by the district
court of its own motion, or on the in
itiative Of the public.
Other states, notably Michigan, long
ago adopted this plan. Ordinary pros
ecution, it was found. preceded more
:apidly, effectively and inexpensively
when entrusted to the legal prosecutor
of the county, with assistance when
needed from the states legal depart
nent.
The grand jury, as we have 1t in

from old English procedure. Supposed

succeeds in maintaining them inviolate

cution ouhgt to be under one sworn
officials hand. How many times has
it. happened in Hennepin county that
before the indictment of a suspected
individual could be secured news has
come to him Of the investigation, 81
that he could get out Of the courts
jurisdiction? How often have the coun-
tvs legal prosecutors been able with
more or less justification to shift the
responsibility for the miscarriage OF
Justice on to the grand jury?
The abolition Of the grand jury In
ordinary cases would tend to magnify
tho Importance Of the county attorney

such place Tar more directly responsible
for the prosecution OF crime than now.
