dlan uniform. You see, we are very
much like the little boy of twelve in
that respect.

one that surpassed the expectations
of every body.
The crowds began gathering
about 2 o'clock and at the ap-
pointed hour the streets were lined
with interested spectators from
the depot on up to Pavie street
and down Second, around the
Court House square where cars,
buggies, Surveys and wagons COM
ing in from all the surrounding
country enjoyed the beautiful
pageant that was we'll worth going
long distance to see and would
have attracted admiring attention
in the real Carnival City.
The mounted city police led the
procession followed by heralds on
gaily caparisoned horses. the two
noble looking youths wearing the
white velvet suits, their court
mantles trimmed in silver, that
like their polished trumpets, glis-
tened in the sun and sweeping
plumes on velvet hats gave the
finishing touches to their perfect
costumes.
Then the sturdy Boy Scouts
marching two by two, made fine
appearance; next the Normal band
that furnished martial music dur
ing the stops en- route.
