THESCROLL.On the evening of June i6 about sixty fortunate Chicago Phis got togetherat the union restaurant to enjoy an informal talk by Brother RichardHenry Little regarding his experiences in Japan and Manchuria, where, asspecial correspondent for the Chicago Daily News, he kept the readers ofthat paper posted on the events of the war.Brother Little had the assistance of a. stereopticon operator and as sceneafter scene was displayed upon the canvas he favored us with a most interestingand informative account of the principal events of the war and of hisown personal experience. Most of the views shown were made from photographswhich Bro. Little had taken himself. There was one in particular inwhich Dick himself was the most conspicuous figure. Mounted on a finelooking horse and completely enveloped in a mass of heavy fur clothing, noone would have recognized him, but Dick explained, "That, gentlemen,that imposing person on the noble steed is not General Kuropatkin, it isyour humble servant."The Phis who were fortunate enough to be on hand are indebted to Bro.Little for an unusually entertaining evening.WILLIAM E.
