It was a picturesque sight during the three days the meetings lasted.

There was always at least one big dance at the hotel.

There were few dress suits, but there was perfect decorum at the dance, and in the square dances most of the men knew the figures far better than I did.

With such a crowd in town, sleeping accommodations of any sort were at a premium, and in the hotel there were two men in every bed.

On one occasion I had a roommate whom I never saw, because he always went to bed much later than I did and I always got up much earlier than he did.
