sVihk 70 tell YOU as much as want YOU
to know about it and when get
through I win just stop and you can 4
make me say any more, 1 care not
what you may say or do, but here
am away here this week, and have
been through several places since 1
wrote you that letter from Asheville,
n. c.
When I got through at Ashville, I
beat it to Knoxville, sending word to
Editor w. L. Porter, but he did not
get the message, hence / struck town
about midnight with no nail upon which
to hang. 1 got in touch with DR.. Green
over the speaking trumpet called phone,
and he had me on the 60. He was filed
up, but told me where TO 90. could
have gone TO DR.. Seymore's or DIR.
Henderson's, but both were out of
town, hence I dropped in at DR.. Wat
kins, and his door few open wide al
though it was about O'Clock in the
morning. He told me TO come in and
be at home, and believe me that was
in one Of them big dreaming beds of
his and went it at the rate of 10 miles
minute, and 1 wish you could have
heard my engine steaming and putting.
l desire to express to DR.. Watkins, my
sincere thanks for opening his door. He
had often told me to make myself at
home with him, and this time l took
him at his word.
1t was a pleasure for me to get
around in Knoxville, for a few hours
only calling at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Aston, where / sent away some
Lemonade, which sent into my etern-
ity. called on Mrs. Henderson, shook
hands with her, and then paid a pledge
which had made for the church, toted
myself together and in Editor Porter's
automobile, with seats for two, made it
to the l. &. n. stable where 1 beat il
out of town, spending one night in
Cincinnati, the next night on the road,
the next night in Chicago, taking some
good eats there, and then beat it with
a box full of chicken to Hutchinson,
Kansas.
As passed thru Kansas City, Mis-
sour, found Grand Chancellor LOly
and his staff awaiting the arrival of
General Robert r. Jackson from Chi
eago, and in a few minutes this young
genius appered, and they were
of. got in company with Grand
Chancellor s. H. Thompson, Of Kansas
City, Kansas. He was en-route to the
place where was going, for 1 was to
be his guest and the guest of his Grand
Lodge. Soon Editor Thomas Kennedy,
of the Kansas City Advocate was on
hand. Now these men had purchased
their authority to ride over the Santa
Re, but changed in order to ride with
me, and we had a delightful ride, for
we got behind freight wreck and
were four hours late getting to Hutch
ison, Kansas, the seat of the big meet
ing. You see / was in good company, |
Grand Chancellor S. H. Thompson, NJ. |
D. and Brigadier General Thomas Ken
nedy, and we had two meals in the eat
ing ear, and DIR. Thompson was so much |
what we had to be squash,
and he paid the eating bills. Wonder
full man to fill my breadbasket.
We got to town, and soon were as
signed to places to sleep and eat, and
| had mine in a wifeless house, and 1
was ready to say Farewell Brother
and Sister Watkins" but eonteRted
myself and we eight men had big
time.
This was the meeting Of two of the
brightest and most intelligent organic
atoms in the country. 1t is just made
up of brains, and connected with the
Order in Kansas are some brainy men
and women. Men who graduated from
such institutions as the University Of |
Kansas, school at Manhattan, the Emp |
oria school, high schools and other col
Ieges.
DIR. Thompson is one Of the leading
physicians in this country and don Z
mind you telling the world told you
so. know just a little something
about men, but not too much, and per
haps not enough.
AT the head of the Calanthe is TO be
found Mrs. Moreno Davis, of Kansas
City, Kansas. have told you about
her before, and hope that you viii
saH attention 20 her. She is a gradu-
ate from the Western college, Macon,
No.. under the DIR. E. L. Scruggs, who |
IS now pastoring in Jefferson City, No,
and a man of great ability, and you
may expect Mrs. Davis to be up to the
and right by her side is her
husband, TiIlford Davis, who is the en-
Doidiment of inspiration and work, and |
am proud Of him, as wei as his wife.
She is the brains Of the Grand Court Of !
the State Of Kansas, although there
are some strong women right by her
side, but they regard her opinion, and
il is not surprising when tel you that
she was unanimously elected for an
