village furnishes the sensational dancing
which really is about on par with some
OF the tangos and trots Of present times.
Art Smith, the bird-man gives us daily
thrills that chase the resident chills up
and down my spine as he dives headlong
to earth from a great height leaving
behind him a long trail of smoke in
the day sky and Of sparks at night.
Then, just when I'm sure he has smashed
himself flat on the ground there he goes
up again like rocket ad pironetting
across the sky, turning summer saults
and handsprings and other upside down
stunts that fairly make even false hair
stand on end. repeatedly refuse to
follow him to the end of his flight for
I'm certain that if he keeps on he's
going to stop suddenly some day and
think he'll be some mussed up when that
happens.
We have visited Chinatown both by
day and by night. Didn't stumble into
any opium dens tho it is quite possible
they exist. Most interesting to me of
all in that locality are the little sloe-
eyed youngsters. l can't tell whether
they are girls or boys but to me they are
inexhaustably quaint and funny. The
fish-markets smell to heaven and after
two hours spent wandering about among
them and the Chinese print shops and
Joss houses and poultry stalls it took
considerable force of will to drive me
into chop suey house. We chose one
recommended as the best in Chinatown.
We bravely ordered Chop Suey and
noodles and still more courageously ate
it. 1t may have been good. At any rate
it was abundant and we left enuf after
making substantial meal to satisfy
at least two more such appetites as ours.
Then we chose Oolong Tea with Chinese
CONNECTIONS. They were really very
good, especially the preserved fruits and
the rice cakes
We have had no startling adventures,
nothing even mildly exciting has happen
ed to any one of the party so far as we
have heard. Mr.. Miller of one of the
St. Peter papers got left behind at the
Grand Canyon When our section of the
train which happened to be the. first
left there. He barely caught the third
and last section and for whole day and
night his deserted hat and coat lying
in the seat across the aisle stared us
mournfully in the eye asking if their
owner had fallen over the cliff. We
reprimanded Mr.. Miller sharply when
he jauntily rejoined the party when the
third section caught up with us the next
afternoon in California. Mr.. Miller
is over seventy years old he says but
he's one of the best "sports" in the
crowd and never a grumble have we
heard from him about anything. Our
party was exceedingly congenial and
everywhere the Minnesota delegation
has been heralded as good fellows.
Miss Ebba Norman who taught in the
New Ulm schools a couple of years ago
has been with us and proved great
favorite. We had a very pleasant
journey out and formed many pleasant
acquaintance in addition to those we
already knew as members of the End
Congressional District Editorial Asso-
citation.
Last evening as we were just leaving
the exposition grounds we met Mrs.
Fred Meyer, also a former New Ulmite.
Mr.. Meyer preceded Mr.. Pomeroy in
the management of the Minnesota Seed
Co., and after year spent in Dakota
came to California. They now live
about IS miles from San Francisco and
are at present in town for the exposition.
This letter is all purely personal
gossip, but perhaps our readers will care
quite as much for it as for incoherent
descriptions Of things beyond my power
to describe adequately.
