— 
was always mentioned, and the little change did me good after the 
round of work and worry in Chicago. Of this trip I shall have more to 
say later in a special report. We went right into Canada to celebrate on

on in the Graphic. 
Adolphus, the Indian is very popular. The Editor of the Recorder 
got my permission for him to write them an article a little while ago, 
and you will see it is not at all bad. He also came off winner in one of 
the swimming contests organised for aboriginals of all nations. 
The official catalogue is not yet complete so that it is no good send-
