put away his bad habit, for he said lie would not think of pronouncing sentence upon a cul- prit for making ' incommodious noises. Not wish- ing to leave the interesting city of Frisco un- til the many places of interest had been visited, we found our way to a most strikingly beauti- ful edifice, the City Hall, up the steps to which we were loath to go until a stately figure with a dis- tinctively peculiar unsteady gait approached and entered. Then we hastened our steps, and after reaching the main corridor the same ungainly figure was standing in a meditative mood near the elevator. However, after a short conversa- tion, he did not enter with us as we expected, and by making inquiry, learned that his office, the office of Mayor William Latimer Small Landis was on the first floor. Even though neither learned the identity of the other we are glad to know that La t ' s executive capacious- ness was markedly prominent. Again in the flight high in the air we crossed the Rockies, making our first stop at Lincoln. Nebraska, that we might spend a short time with our much esteemed friend. William Jennings Bryan. The next day being Sunday, we re- mained in the city and attended its most fash- ionable and influential church and it was our privilege to listen to a remarkably impressive message especially significant to the voters, who were aboul to consider woman suffrage. This fact led us to reckon with the propensities oi our prospective minister-classmate and then came into our field of retrospection the distin- guishing qualities of our esteemed friend and classmate Samuel Shoemaker Games, whom, to our amazement, we recognized as the minister before us, for he had been called to the west through the influence of the retired leader of the Democratic party. Remaining with these newly found old friends until the following day, we again called the old chair into service, this time to carry a somewhat increased cargo over The Father of Waters : thence almost directly east to the Ohio capital, the home of many friends and interesting places — nor was the least of these Wittenburg Col- lege. Notwithstanding the fact that we thought oi things just the same as they were in our col- lege days, there were many changes. The col- lege had grown greatly and was the leading in- stitution of its kind west of old Pennsyl- vania. To the presidency, had been called by our General Synod, the noted preacher and prominent theologian. John Emory Reish — our old classmate Rip. Glad to see him ' Well! Xew York City still somewhal attractive, had lost its power to draw its usual number of i- itors. however we stopped near a new building one thousand feet high. Entering this massive structure, in bold relief before us on the direc- tory was the name of President Aikens. )ur excitement was calmed upon going into the office of the head of this great life insurance company, for we found Claude Gitt Aikens. a young lawyer, considering above all his other business a call to succeed his father as president of Susquehanna, hence we returned together. The Seer. Ml. 26
