naneneennants What the Governor of North Dakota said to the Govemor of South Dakota. (Also some other good stories heard on the special train of the Western Governors.) By ROBERT D. HEINL. EVER in the history of time has there been such an odd, gorgeous, and large assortment of Governors on wheels as those Western Governors who went East to ‘‘root’’ for the West. It was the grandest collection of high- salaried ballyhos that has ever been gathered under one train roof. There were fat Governors, leat. Governors, bald-headed Governors, bewhiskered Governors, old Governors, boy Govern- ors, Democratic Governors, Republican Gov rnors, insurgent Governors, Pro- in Governors, woman-suffrage Gov- ernors, ex-Governors, substitute Govern- ors, and near-Governors. One of the last named made such a faint impression that he was likened to a twelfth carbon copy of a real Governor. Newspaper photographers who came on a still hunt for the topline State heads took their lives in their hands, because, the minute a camera man ap- peared on the scene, the Governors were thrown into a state of riot.

You may judge of the gravity of my condition when I tell you I was some- times compelled to use morphine for weeks at a time. “For two years I have eaten Grape- Nuts food at least twice a day and I can now say that I have perfect health. I have taken no medicine in that time— Grape-Nuts has done it all. Ican eat absolutely anything I wish, without stomach dist: 5 “T am a business woman and can walk my 2 or 3 miles a day and feel bet- ter for doing so.

Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. “There’s a reason,’’ and it is ex- plained in the little book, ‘‘The Road to Wellville,”’ in packages. Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to tme. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest. \ wanted their pictures taken, and every- body was particularly desirous of being in the middle of the group. Unless it was a much larger snapshot than usually was taken on the trip, not more than a half dozen Governors could be on the front row and in the middle. So there were some very amusing gubernatorial scrambles. Politics for once was for- gotten. Each Governor solemnly ex- plained to his fellow-Governors (this was done repeatedly and regularly) that he didn't care about having his picture taken so far as he was concerned, but that it was his constituents who must be remembered. It was to give the folks at home a treat. What would they think of a ‘‘Gov’’ who couldn’t get him- self photographed when some other “Gov’’ could? The reason they fought shy of the outer edges and hit for the center was that newspaper artists, in cutting down the photographs, very of- ten lop off the end men. Two enterprising young Governors, in order to surmount the entire group, climbed to the top of the pilot house on an excursion boat. They were the crowning apex and the envy of the older Governors, who could not trust them- selves to ascend to such a precarious altitude. There was a laugh next day when the photograph appeared. The newspaper make-up man had_ been obliged to trim the picture, and all that appeared of the ambitious Governors were their legs. The Governors literally ‘‘ute their way"’ to the Atlantic coast. Each had no less than six Thanksgiving dinners. Food which they were unable to touch at banquets because of lack of appetites and digestive facilities amounted, in part, to: $00 oysters on the hall-shell. assorted fish ce (demi-tasee.) ood whicn had French names.) When things were “popping right,”” there was a speech every minute and a quarter—if the speaker before would yield. The Governor of South Dakota +. in his stateroom when the train pulled into Cincinnati. The Governor of North Dakota, coming into the passageway, tapped gently on the door. “*Governor,”’ he said, ‘‘in ten minutes the automobiles leave which take us to the banquet hall.’” “But, Governor’’—the voice of the Governor of South Dakota, within, was much exasperated cannot find that infernal collar button!"" Seven minutes’ time elapsed. Again the Governor of North Dakota appeared. (Continued on following pace.)
