The Afternoon Parade

j. w. r. Johnson and the old brass
Napoleon did woman duty on the
Common. Mr.. Johnson seems to be
able to get bushels more noise from
that cannon than anybody else can
and he certainly equalled his record
on Monday.
The parade started promptly one
hour after scheduled time and that
was pretty good, considering thc-b brief
time allowed for the laying Of plans,
and the trimming OF the vehicles that
participated.
First in line came a platoon of po-
lice with Chief Wakefield at their
head. Then came the aids and the Odd
Fellows band. Other features were
the Boy Scouts and the Red Cross
ladies and workers, who made a most
pleasing appearance. Shoals of school
children followed and their happy
young faces showed that they were
having the time Of their lives and
they were if they only realized it. The
postoffice employees were out in full
force. headed by Postmaster Frost
and Assistant Lander. "a handsome
body Of men" was an observers chat
acterization of them as they passed
Next in line were hundreds Of citi-
zens whose ages ran all the way from
eight to so. and a group where the
laboring man touched elbows with
the financier. T. Stewart & Sons Co.
was represented by some 13 men, who
carried large flag. Then came the
drum corps and more children. headed
by two Misses who were dressed as
Liberty and bore aloft torches. The
fire department was exceedingly we'll
represented and the old favorite in
many a contest, the Hecla, was in
line. Many trucks trimmed with bunt-
ing and carrying children or grown
ups also participated. A finely trim
med hayrack bore lot of young peo-
pie. the boys dressed as girls and the
girls as boys, made hit. 1t remained
for the Armour beef truck and the
crew, all in white. to catch the crowd,
and this was done by the means of
an effigy of the individual once known
as the Kaiser. hanging by the neck
from gallows in the rear. On the
figure was q placard bearing the
words, Hes our meat" The parade
closed with numberless private auto
mobiles, all decorated with bunting
and flags. After the parade the eff
figy of the Kaiser was drenched with
oil and burned, to the hugh enjoy
ment Of all.
