Chairman Edson worked ont the scheme
from the basis of a known -number of

Thoy won't even hnvo tho bother ol

weeks off, ono veteran is already hero
The first arrival is Henry T. Walch, who
walked every step of the wy from hi
home in Michigan to Washington, push
ing in front of him a wheelbarrow iu
which he had his luggage. Mr. Walcli
was determined to get here and to bo iu
ample timo. On the first of last month
bo left his home, Mount Pleasant, M (',':-.,
and reached Washington On -Aug. 'i,
having been forty-three days in making
tbe trip. When lie left home the enth e
town turned out and bade him godspeed,
the connty band accompanying him for
the first few miles, followed by an im
mense throng.
There will be many features of inter
est at this great encampment, but none
will attract more attention from xu
general public than the reproduction ot
the old man-or-war Kearsargo.
Reunions will be held upon the twe
decks of the ship, and the ex-sailors can
see and touch 'the very sternpost of the
original Kearsurgo, where an unex
ploded shell lies buried in tbe wood
They can muse on what would hmv
been their probable fate if this ugly look

Presently her sobs ceaseil anil she turned
her face to the light with a suggestion of

"Can I dance with n cork footf" she
