Westward, Ho, again! Chautauqua shows us E. Fenton Gilbert addressing the annual edlicational conference on different methods of teaching Trigonometry, but as he is too profound for us we turn our ship toward Buffalo. h What an impressive sight is this! A regiment of soldiers is being reviewed. See, they stand at parade rest. The noble colonel unsheathes his sword with a great iiourish. We listen for a ringing word of command. Instead, the following greets our ears: Men, I don't know what command to give, but get back the way you were any way you canf, Do you wonder that Colonel Park is the ladies idol? a We now put our ship in readiness for a long journey-and sail away for Duluth. En routewe look southward at the flourishing Pennsylvanian city of Tidioute-G. M. Grandin, prominent citizen. The population consists of two chickens, a dog, and the aforementioned G. M. G. Naturally Mr. Grandin has attained prominence in this community, but they say the dog is a close second. f But our real destination is Duluth. Arriving there, we send our cards to Mr. Congdon's oifice, and ask to be allowed to see the great man. Thunderous growls and curses come from the inner office, and the boy comes running out with a scared face to say Mr. Congdon is busy. It is rumored that this same Mr. Congdon has already killed off two office boys in fits of anger, and that his present servant only escapes through his nimbleness. Oh, yes, Mr. Congdon is a nice, kind man, Iim sure! ' Travelling south' from Duluth we catch a fleeting glimpse of St. Paul and its most remarkable citizen, Mr. R. Hale Noyes. He is renowned for being the only man west of the Mississippi Cor east of it, for that matterj whose legs are more than six feet long. Some say that in the future his body will vanish and his neck grow from his hips, but I am inclined to be a bit skeptical about that. ' g V We now move on south and pause over the Illinois State Penitentiary. The leader of the Chicago gas ring, notorious for the graft which he stowed away for himself is confined here for a long term. Let us listen to the words which come from his lips, and maybe we can guess who he is : My gosh ! Ah, ha ! it is Banks after all, and justice has come at lastf'
