W^ROM present indications It Is an-1
U parent that there will be no !
B falling off in the inaugural eel- i
ebratlon this year. Although be
never led a charge of rough riders and
has no actual right to sing "Cheer Up,
Comrades," Mr. Taft will be honored
by an attendance at the inaugural cer- i
emonies of as great a military force as |
that which marched in parade behind
President Roosevelt. In keeping with I
the essentially peaceful and civic char-,
acter of the incoming president, the industrial
and civilian feature of the parade
of next March 4 will be far more
extensive and imposing than ever before.
The program of the Inaugural period
to divided Into five Important features
and some others of a lesser degree of
Interest?first, the Imposing military
division of the pageant, which has
been arranged on a big scale by Major
General J. Franklin Bell, who Is grand
marshal; second, tho civic organization

The details of the big military pa- 1
rade have been worked out by lirigadier
General John A. Johnson, chief of
General Bell's staff, assisted by Major
Bamnel D. Sturgls, adjutant general,
both regular army officers on duty at
the war department. Ilcre is the inauguration
day program In a nutshell

The senate will complete the work
of the last session of the Sixtieth congress
about 10:3Q a. m. on March 4 and
will then take a recess so that the
scenery may be set for the Important
act In the great drama of the republic
so soon to take place. Shortly before
noon the vice president will call the
senate to order. The secretary of the
senate will annonnce the arrival of the
speaker and the house of representatives,
anu tney will file into the senate
chamber and take the places assigned
to them. Next In order will come the
supreme court of the United States,
headed by Chief Justice Fuller, and
then the ambassadors and ministers
plenipotentiary of the foreign nations.
Following the heads of the diplomatic
corps will come the heads of the executive
departments, who will take their

Following the cabinet, tho vice president
elect will be formally announced
and will enter, accompanied by Ills escort?Senator
Fryc, president pro tempore
of the senate, and Representative
Young. "The president elect" will be
the next announcement, and William
IT. Taft, accompanied by Senators
Knox and Lodge, will enter, and finally
the president of the United States
will enter alone. At each announcement
the entire assemblage will rise
and remain standing until the person

the oath. This done, the entire assemblage
will proceed to the Inaugural
stand.
The sergennts-at-ar ms of the senate
and the house will lead the stately
procession. This is an innovation, as
heretofore it has been led by the marshals
of the supreme court and of the '
{ District of Columbia. Those present in |
the senate chamber will fall into line
In the same order in which they entered
the senate, and til* entire company
will march to the inaugural
stand.
The troops gathered in front of tho
stand wlli present arms as the president
and the president elect appear at
the main door of the capital, and when
they have arrived at the front of the
stand Chief Justice Fuller will stop
forward and administer to Mr. Taft
the oath of otllce, following which the
new president will deliver his inau- j
gural address, which is understood to
be unusually brief. From the stand
the president will descend a lllght of
steps to his carriage and drive Immediately
to the White Ilouse, where he I
may snatch n brief luncheon before
hikine bis place in the stand.
There will be a slight change this
year in the order of the progress of the
president, the president elect and the
vice president and the vice president
elect to the capltol. In view of the close
relations of Senator Lodge to the president
he will ride In the carriage with
the president and the president elect,
as will also Senator Knox, who as
chairman of the comrjilttee on arrangements
Is the personal escort of
the executive. The vice president will
have as escort Senator Paeon and Ilepresentatives
Purke and Gaines, while
the vice president elect will be accompanied
by Senator Fryc, the president
pro tempore of the senate, and Representative
Young. Heretofore only one
senator has accompanied the two chief
figures In the ceremonies.
Bali a National Function.
Always a pleasing and picturesque
feature, it Is proposed to make the inaugural
ball of 3900 something more?
a great national function of supreme
interest and significance. It will take
the form of a reception by President
Tnft and Vice President Sherman to
the country at large. Each state in
the Union will be officially represented"
ou the floor by one of its distinguished
sons, whose mission it will be to cooperate
officially In the presentation of ,
the visitors from h< Wthere and everywhere
to the gr^feaen of the nation
who will .
the cabinet of President Lincoln Is f
chairman of the committee In charge i
of the Inaugural bell and has so planned
the event as to bring the entire
Union through the forty-six states Into
direct and active participation in the
iuncuon.
"Washington Is a national city, a
city belonging to the conn try," Chairman
Blair raid In discussing the ball
arrangements. "It Is cur desire that
all who come to the Inauguration?and
there promises to bo tho biggest attendance
In the history of these nf- j
fairs?should feci that In coming to j
the national capital they arc coming to
their own cltv.
"The ball will be essentially and distinctively
national. A representative
from each state lias been designated
as a member of the Inaugural ball
committee. These gentlemen will
know many of the people who come
from their respective states and will
see that they are properly Introduced
to the statesmen and their wives and
other distinguished visitors. Thus It
Is hoped to bring the forty-six states
Into close touch with the national capital
on this memorable occasion."
An Awful Li sr.
Sir Archibald Cclkic, the distinguished
geologist, tells a good story In
his capital book of "ScottI h Itemini.seenccs."

ler the table. lie bent down and saw
i huge lion showing his formidable
eeth. The bey smiled and stroked his
jeard.
Dupetit-Thouars did not wince, but
ailed his dragoman.
"My pistols," was all he said.
The servant saluted, retired and
>rought back a pair of pistols on a
liver tray. The admiral took them
ind placed them on the table before
ilm. But the bey, still smiling, continled
to stroke his patriarchal beard.
"Tell the commander," he said to
he dragoman, "that If those pistols are
or the purpose of blowing out my
Ion's brains they are quite insufficient
nd perfectly useless."
Then, like a skilled fencer counterng
his opponent's thrust, after the
icy's ironical advice had been transited
Dupetit-Thouars replied:
"Tell his highness that my pistols are
ot there to kill his lion, but to blow
is own brains out at the first moveient
of this objectionable carpet."
Gravely, but a little pale, the man
iterpreted.
The snjjlr* died away on the bey's
Ins. and no no longer stroked his
eard.
"My lion," said he, "is too well traind
even to scratch one of iny gnosis,
nt since he is not wanted he shall he
ent away."
At a word from the bey the lion
lowly and heavily left the room, like
n obedient dog.
No More Cradles.
"A cradle?" said the salesman. "Oh,
o! You don't want a cradle."
lie smiled.
"First kid, ain't It?"
"Yes," admitted the young father,
rownlng.
"I know von weren't oxnericnceil. or
ou wouldn't ask for a cradle," said
lie salesman. "You see, they've gone
ltogether out. We don't sell two a
ear."
"Why did they po out?"
"Because they're unhealthy, bad for
lie kid. They lower the temperature,
art the heart and bring on nausea,
olio, regular seasickness. It stands to
Kison that the violent rocking of a
radio can't be pood for frail little
aby any more than the violent rocklp
of a ship in a storm is pood for the
assenpers. Moreover, they keep somcody

According to Herodotus, while the
cythlans were away on a long camnign
their slaves took the opportunity

roperty. The latter on their return
romptly attacked them, but wore connually
defeated until at last one of
lera hit on the brilliant idea of aticking
the slaves with whips only,

iclr origin aud so cow them that
:ey would never dare to stand. The
cythiaus followed his counsel, and it
?11 out as he had predicted. When

ey who had insulted a French consul.
As Dupetit-Thouars' demands were
upported by the forcible argument of

profuse apologies. He even in'ited
the admiral to his table and hod
