metz. "Georgina' and her friends are
the most genial, amusing, winning
folk who have appeared in fiction for
a year of Sundays. "Georgina" and
her friend, Richard, and his dog, Cap
tain Kidd, have not yet had the mis-
fortune to pass beyond the enchanted
fields of childhood. but their friends
have. However. this seems not to
make so much difference after all, for
the best of these, such as "Barby,"
'Georgina's'' fascinating little mother,
and "Dan1 Darcy" the town crier,
have hearts which are eternally
young. To save your life you cannot
tell at first whether the story is for
children or their elders; but if you
read it aloud of an evening you will
find out 1t is for the whole family.

the thirty-three years of it's existence
were assembled in parade formation.
j. r. Marshall deceased, to whom
this famous organization owes its rep
utatiOn, was born and received his mu-
steal education in England. on Ieav-
ing England he located in Canada and
later moved to Leavenworth. From
Leavenworth he came to Topeka and
acted as director of a small band
which was organized in North Topeka
about 1878. In 1879 this band was
consolidated with the Turner's band
and was commissioned the First Regi-
ment band, K. n G. This organiza-
ton disbanded in 1881 and Topeka
had no band until 1884, when band
was organized from the ranks of the
Republican Flambeau club for cam
paign purposes, with Marshall as di-
rector.
November 2. 1884. the original
Marshalrs Military band filed its
charter and in 1889 was reOrganized,
the name being changed to MarshalPs
band. dropping the word military"
With the exception of Gilmore's, Mar
shalTs band was the first in the United
States having complete instrumental
ton.
The FIRST Long Trip.
one of the first long trips taken by
the band was to Boston and when it
greeted with: Look at the hay-seeds"
and Where's your whiskers2' but
after the band began to play the
streets We're so bIockaded that the
police had to ask Marshall to quit
playing while the traffic was so
obstructed.
In addition to a great many side
trips the band has played special
engagements in the following large
cities: San Francisco. Boston, Sacra-
mento. Denver, three different en-
gagements, Chicago worlds fair, In
dianapolis, Washington, Baltimore,
Colorado Springs Niagara Falls
Pueblo, st. Louis, two different en-
gagements, Montreal, Oklahoma City,
Louisville, Portland, Kansas City,
three different engagements, and Seat
tie. At the national convention of
Shriners at Seattle in 1915, out of
seVenty-five bands, MarSha1rs was one
of the few selected for concert work
and gave concerts in the reviewing
pavilion and at the municipal pier. In
Kansas City. at the national conven-
tured two prizes one of which was for
rade. Also the band was chosen to
lead the parade at the national c. A.
r. encampment held in Kansas CITY
last month.
Praised by Sousa.
Usually professional musicians, and
especially bandmasters of note are in
chned to frown on amateur bands, but
such is not the case as rega riding Mar

flood. The flood, however. did not
put the band out of business and dur

free concerts were given at the corner
of Eighth avenue and Harrison
street No money was received for
these concerts and even the bandstand
was paid for by the organization.
However at the close of the season, an
individual citizen sent the band a
check for $50, without solicitation.
From 1904 until 1908 the band man
aged to exist by giving annual con-
certs, entertainments and playing va
rious engagements. In the summer of
1907 free concerts were given in diff
ferent parts of the city for which the
propriate money from the city's con-
tingent fund. The city attorney
blocked this effort on the grounds that
the money could not be legally used
for such purpose. This same year,
thru the efforts of MarshalPs organi-
cation, bill passed the legislature
enabling cities of certain class to
make special levy for free band con-
certs. The following summer the
band again gave free concerts but re-
ceived no pay for it was found a mis-
take had been made in drafting the
bill allowing the levy for such pur-
pose The law as passed allowed the
city of Topeka to raise only s26 and
not $4,000, as was intended. This was
remedied at a special session of the
legislature the next year and in 1903
the city contracted with MarshalPs
band for free municipal concerts, to
the extent of $1,000. Since 1909 the
band has had annual contracts with
the city but in 1910 the amount paid
the organization was reduced to and
has remained at 400. the balance of
the fund, consisting of several hun
cal organizations.

to make up a deficit, at the end of
the year, the season has been a sue
cessful one. The members recently
contributed individually towards re-
furnishing their headquarters and
visitors are cordially received at all
times.
Since it's organization the bands
mem bership has been fifty-eight men,
and at this time it is up to full quota,
with waiting list of perhaps a dozen.
The bands mortality records are re-
markable as, in thirty-three years
with an average membership of fifty
eight, only four active members have
died: ]. B. Marshall, Harry Tew
Samuel Hull and ]. F. Moore. The
records show that at this time its
Z merchants, 2 school teachers, 8
statesmen. printers, 2 pressmen, 3
electricians, machinists, 1 carpenter,
6 paperhangers and painters. 16
clerks, piano tuners, stenogra piers
1 laundryman, 1 bookkeeper, under
taker, 1 druggist, L doctor and 1 real
estate dealer. Forty-eight of the
members are taxpayers, 35 own their
homes, 3S are married and 20 are
single. Two members have played
with the organization for 80 years or
more, IL for more than 20 years and
6 for more than Is years.
Success Has Been Remarkable.
The success of MarshalTs band,
musically, has been wonderful. but its
present members are very modest, and
do not lay claim to any of the honors
along this line. They say such is
due to the untiring efforts of its
founder, the late ]. B. Marshall, and
to the support given the organization
by the citizens. various organizations
and newspapers of Topeka"
From the standpoint of service for
the greatest number of years, the
honor goes to d. G. Kline who, until
recently. has been director since the
death of J. B. Marshall. in 1910. Mr..
Kline has been an active member for
such in the capacity of euphonium
soloist, as which he has few equals
even among the big professional
bands. The second oldest member is
smiling" George Miller. Mr.. Miller
is also probably the oldest man in
years. but as the bandmen say, the
is as frisky as a young colt" and long
parades have no terrors for him.
J. B. Marshall, jr., the present direc-
tor, is the son of the founder of the
band, and has played with the organ
ization for twenty-three years. Mr..
Marshall is a cornetist, and the fact
that he is from the original Marshall
family, insures the future musical sue
cess of the organization. Chas. w.
Chapman, the president, has served in
this capacity for six years, and has
been with the band for twenty-three
years Mr.. Chapman is a clarinetist
of rare ability, and his services are
valued second to those of no other
member.
Oldest office Holder.
To ]. A. Sheetz, the North Topeka
merchant, goes the honor of being the
oldest office holder, from the stand
point of service. Mr.. Sheetz has been
a continuous member for twenty-three
years and has been treasurer of the
band for 20 years. At times there was
not much treasure" to look after, but
Jack" has always been on the job
both day and night. The next Oldest

A Visit to Abilene Proves His
Strength There.

Abilene, Kan. Oct IA State Jour-
nal representative recently was re-
quired to spend a few hours in Abb
lene while waiting for a train. On
visited the Abilene News, edited and
owned by j. w. Howe. Being the
only Democratic paper in the county,
he naturally expected to find large
pictures of Wilson and Bryan and
other Democratic celebrities occupy
He was mistaken. True, they were
hanging there, but not in the most
conspicuous places. Instead he found
pictures of boys, boys clubs. camp
ing parties football teams hanging
over the editors desk.
Mr.. Howe explained by saying they
were pictures of boys club he used
to have in Abilene called the Knights
of Honor. He was enthusiastic over
the pictures, and told the story of each
picture and the history of every boy
in the picture. When he had finished
them. he reached in his desk and
pulled out at least a hundred photo
graphs of boys and boys camps.
This is the Boy Scout camping
party" he said, pointing to a photo
tional convention of the knights of
Honor at Kinsley. Here is a real
baseball pitcher, who is making good,
and a fire kid, too''-and so en-.
He discussed the pictures and the
characteristics of the boys for some
time, when the reporter asked, You
are candidate for a second term as
state senator, are you not?"
YES he said, land 1 think L will
be reelected, but say and he
changed the subject-"you ought to
have seen our boys baseball and
football teams. 1t would do me a
world of good just to see them play

one of the principles of the club. No

Abilene business man, Joe Howe used
most severe lectures and yet they
swear by him. He picked several boys
out of the toughest element in town,
got them to go thru high school and
they are all doing well now. Then
we found that before he went to To-
peka to the legislative sessions, he
had a class of boys in the Presby-
terrain Sunday school. A big class,
too, and they went just because he
wanted them to-

sixteen years ago and served as sec
rotary for twelve years. Most of his
service was during the life of the late
j. B. Marshall and he rendered valu-
able aid in tiding the band thru some
of its many financial difficulties.
C. NJ Morrow is another twenty
year man and is at present vice presi-
dent. Mr.. Morrow is principal of
Grant school and was the bands IL
brarian until the recent election. Clare
Coe, the new librarian, conducts an art
store on Kansas avenue and was a
member of the famous fighting Tween
tieth Kansas Regimental band.
First chair, or solo cornet, men are
more essential to a band than an ele-
plant lis to a circus, and to N. P. Nc
Comas, assistant director, falls this
honor. Mr.. McComas has been with
the band for six years and is en-
ployed in the Santa Fee offices. Last,
but not least, not only in avoirdu-
pois, but as a "dyed-in-the-woof'
band man. comes L. NJ. Penwell.
Penny" as he is known to the mu-
sicians, has served as drum major for
a great many years and is one of the
bands best assets. Mr.. Penwell is in
the undertaking business and no or
ganization would be complete without
him, as he belongs to everything in
the world
To George w. Porter, acting drum
major, the band owes its different
from all other bands" appearance
when on parade. Mr.. Porter is one
of the most competent drill masters in
the west and he has accomplished
wonders along this line in the three
years he has been with the organiza-
ton.

Concerts were given at the park two or
three times each week and an admis-
sion of 10 cents was charged. The
first seasons business was of such a
nature that a great deal of money was
spent in improving the park, including
the erection of the casino building at
cost of $500. On account of wet
weather, the seasons following were
not so successful and, in 1902, the ven
ture was given up and lease secured
on the park. The weather conditions
were more favorable during 1902 and
the park was released for the year
