jj

By AUNT SARAH PEABODY k' ROUTE TO NEW YORK CITY’, June 23.— 1 hope everybody ■s half as surprised as l am, to know that I am going to attend hf Democratic national convention. And as a delegate, too. Why not? Recently there was a Ladies' Aid* Society convention in “The Old Home Town" and I was elected a delegate. Reing troubled with my asthma, however. I was unable to attend. I still got my badge and it's never been used. Just as good as new. It says “Delegate” on it— So I'm on my way to New York. Most of my neighbors and friends—especially Marshal Otey Walker—declared that it was wrong for me to go to the big city alone. But I had made up my mind. So they all turned out and saw me off at the depot. I got out an old, old dress of mine which I have been saving for years Tor just such an occcasion as this. The townsfolk, after seeing me in it. declared as how they felt sure the convention would take notice of me.' It's nice to have you;- friends feel that \yay about you. As rnv train pulled out I nearly received a compliment, fine town character remarked, “You say Aunt Sarah is lookin’ pretty?” hut another replied, “No, no, I say she's headin’ for the city.” The Thimble Sewing Club presented me with a dandy box lunch which lam enjoying while riding in a Pullman. I don’t believe, though, that the porter on this train is- enjoying it. A favorite maxim of mine is "a good'night’s sleep before a hard day's work.” so, as long as all of the v>eds on this train are made up and there isn't any place to sit down, lam going to retire. Tomorrow is another day, as it has often been said —a day for the opening of the convention. I'll ue there to tell you all about it.
