Part Of the Parade Lost.
Led by the band, under the direc-
ton Of Tony Snyder. the visitors
marched over TO Front street and up
Front to place near the Grand the
atre, where the word to halt was
given. as that was the place chosen
to have the picture of the whole
party taken. Somehow the word to
halt did not reach the band, and
that body kept marching and play
ing, while the rest stayed In the
street behind. Calls to the players
TO stop were not heard, on account
Of the music and the result was that
the band marched nearly two blocks
before its members discovered that
they had lost the rest OF the party.
This ludicrous situation was quickly
set to rights and the band marched
back to take its place In the picture.
These pictures are being taken In
every one Of the important stopping
places along the entire itinerary Of
eight hundred and eleven miles. II
is intended to group the pictures to-
gether and send group for display
to each of these towns. OF course
the party will be the same in each
OF the pictures. but the background
will be different.

Looked Like Louis Hin.
AS the guests marched along Front
street, there was one who was con-
spicious for his likeness to a son
of the famous founder of the Great
Northern railroad. There goes Louis
HILL" cried some one. and the news
paper scribes thought so, too, and
they were determined to interview
this distinguished character. II proved
TO be no other than w. III. Brill,
press agent Vi tu6 St raul AssOcid-
ton of Commerce. Yet there was
the red beard and the jovial smile
for everybody, and Mr.. Brill himself
did not blame the Mankatonians for
making the mistake, for he said It
had happened a thousand times be-
fore. !- t...-- -
After the picture was taken. the
visitors dispersed to call on acquaint-
ances Of theirs about the city, and
early in the evening they gathered
at the dining car OF their train and
had supper. At 7:15 large number
of automobiles appeared In the de-
pot yard near the train TO take the
guests about the city. II had been
especially requested that Mankato
should not go TO any trouble to en-
terrain the tourists. as they had ar
ranged to bring the entertainment
with them. but the Mankato leaders
were determined at all events that
