WI it CHAUTAUQUA Tent Crew Rushes Preparations For Entertainment Week Which Opens in Casper July 13; Tickets on Sale The equipment of the Redpath. Horner Chautauquas arrived in the city last evening, and the crew of men are at work putting up the tent and making everything ready for the five days of entertainment and in- struction to be given by the Casper Chautauqua. The location is on the lot next to the Ohio Oil company’s building, corner Wolcott and Fourth streets. This will be near enough to make it easy of access for"everybody and still somewhat removed from the bustle of the city. Mr. F. G. Sim- monds, of Seward, Neb., is here to act as superintendent during the session. He. is an experienced man in the business and will be in full charge. Superintendent Simmons said to a Tribune representative: “The im- pression sometimes prevails that the first day of a chautauqua is filled with a somewhat inferior program, but I-want to dispel that idea. The first day of our program is one of the best, and the interest that be- gins then will never flag to the close. The music and entertainment of the day, furnished by the althea quartet of violinists and Miss Electra Platt, @ very talented impersonator, is highly entertaining. Dr. Frank L. Loveland lectures in the evening on the subject ‘“‘The Soul of the German Empire)’ and his great lecture is worth the price of the whole course. Dr. Loveland recently returned from Belgium and France, where he went at the request of the Belgian gov- ernment, and gives an‘account of some of the things he saw that is of great interest to every listener. Pa_ triotism is the keynote of every ses- sion of the chautauqua, and there is not a weak number on the pyggram.” Season tickets are now on“sale at $2.50, which is a saving of $1.50 over the price of single admissions.

Dear Mother and All:- tell something of where we are, and where we have been. It is impos- sible to tell you where we landed, but T can outline our trip thru the differ- eat parts of this country. of December, but did not land until the 2nd of January, as I have already told you in my previous letters. I remained at the port of debarkation about two weeks after the rest of our outfit left. You know I never was sick while at the hospital, but as I was convalescent I had to stay there until a time when the doctor said I was! able to travel. Altho I was able the| day I got there, but nevertheless | wouldn’t kick, because I had a very some of the things in a French port When the doctor said I could leay there were seventeen others belonging to our organization that were ready to go, and as I was the only ser- geant I was put in charge of the de- tachment. Some trip I had. Just try to imagine me not being able to un- derstand a word of French, and tak- ing a bunch of men three hundred miles on a French railroad. Hon- estly, when I look back now and think of the time I had, I often wonder how I ever got thru without getting lost. We left the station about 4:30 in the afternoon and traveled until mid- night, then we had to change cars, aud we had to lay over there five hour’. There isn’t any use of writ- ing the details of the trip, because they wouldn’t be interesting, but the whole trip was like that. Travel about two hours and lay over four or five. Believe me, it is no joy ride, riding on French trains. They are built in five compartments, with a door in each end of the compartment. There is room for eight people in each one, *|and no way of getting from one com- partment to the other. When I arrived in La Countine (Department of Crouse), I was about ithe tiredest human that ever lived. Some of the boys met us at the train. We started for camp about half mile away, and up a big hill that was all covered with ice. You should have seen me when I got to camp. I was sure all in. While in La Coutine, the weather was hell. We were there until the 24th of January. On the afternoon of the 23rd of January, I was busy loading rations and baggage for the trip. About noon the 24th we loaded into’ box cars and started on our merry way. That was a wonderful trip, even tho it was at night.

We came into the harbor the 31st! o'clock in the morning. Thesee looked like a million dol- lars to us after La Courtine. The! sun was shining and there was no| snow in sight. So we were very much satisfied. You know a soldier is al-| ways satisfied if he has a good meal and can keep warm. We had good quarters, with electric lights. I have} learned since what a luxury electricity) is because at all the other places we were lucky to have candles. | While in Thesee I spent most of my time between there and St. Aig-) non, where our comissary was lo-| cated. My official job, as you know, was acting train comissary sergeant. | So you imagine I was quite as well satisfied there, but all good things! have their end, as I thought when we received orders to move, but I was there a day and what a time I had.!
