The Taft Inauguration. By JAMES A. EDGERTON. HE making of a president of the United States is a process con . sisting of many ceremonies, covering approximately a year of time. First there are the party pri maries, county, district, state and na tional conventions, the notifiention of the candidates, the speeches and let ters of acceptance. the political cam paign, the popular election, the meet Ing of the electoral colleges, the count Ing of the vote and declaration of the result and the final culminating cere mony in the inauguration. This ought to be sufficiently impressive and long drawn out to make the incumbenit real ize the Importance of the position. William Howard Taft will be the twenty-six.th man to occupy the presi deney, although he will odiicially' rant: as the twenty-seventh, Grover C'leve land being counted twice be. use of the four year hiatus betweecn his two terms. When Mr. Taft takes the olil cial oath, it will be the thirty-sixth time that ceremony has beeni per formed, ten of the presidents having been re-elected and therefore sworn in twice. These were Washington, Jef ferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Lin coln, Grant, Cleveland. MIcKinley and Roosevelt. The Taft induction into office will be only the thirty-first Inau guration proper, however. since the five vice presidents wh~o succeded to the presidency had no regular inaugu ral ceremony. If the reader pines for more statistics, he can probably find them in a politikal almunuae or can fig ure them out for himself. Fickle haug-uration Weather. All iniauguratio~ns are pre! iy much alike, exep the weathier. It is impos sible for any mecre e-c m.inee of ar rangemieuts to makei Washington weather be have itself, especially in March. Chief of the Signal Secrvice WIllis Moore once promised an ideai day for an iungurationi, and1 It was Ideal for farm hials. It rained from early mo~rning~ till late at ni iht. An Inauguration is no~ t like a baseball game. It cenn:ot be postponed because of wet groundas. The president elect must ..: to ' he bat and run the bases from thc White IIouse to1 the capitol and back again even if there is a bliz zard or a rainstorm that washes all the people out of Pennsylvania avenue. The weather of the District of Colum bia Is not subject to the constitution. On March 4 It Is Lot only unconstitu tional, but 1s in contravention of law and order, of relgien and good morals, to say nothing of decorations and clothes, for all of which reasons and others some well meaning reformers have tried to have the date of the in auguration changed. Vain effort' They did not know Washington. The Capi sal City Is more of a stickier for prece dent, red tape and custom than Lin coln Stffens is for civie righteousness. Everybody In Washington admits that the change o'ught to be made, that the :veaither on the 4th. of March Is about the most deprnved that it is 01n any possible dlate in the whole year, but the mainute anyhedy prioposes to do someting ahnt it 'ld unn Inertia gets inl his work, and the reform hits the asphalt qui'ker than did Itoose velt's simpltified spelling. On? cannIo change anythin~g in Washitcn except money, and lie shouhl do that on the!u quiet or some~ one will stee It og 1ak It way from him. There is c: ly one redeem~ng feature abocut inaug'uration .weather. It sometimes do'es a0ood to the soul to see the way it maikes mon keys of the solemn functionarics who have the thing in charge. They- tako themselves so seriously. ther'e is so much fusness about wlhieh oi! b al sliil sit in which chiri and v-ho sh1 wa lk out < a ter:> i oe'. who shil l ake. rX. c:. : in~ rade, and all the rest (.f the tommyrot, that it seeretly del s::th heart when the wc'athe~r bedragale., the feathers and makes a joke of the brave show. Real pattriotis m stuffers not a whit in consequen:ce, for it goes deeper than display. There is another comforting thing. If the powers that bie are determined to keep the inaugu ration on the 4th of March, they do not deserve anything better than 4th of March wather. A and Children. T Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of h Use ' For Over Thirty Years CASTORIA THIt ONITAUR COM1PANY. NEW OI fV All that can be done about the mal itr on this p:rticular inauguration da; is to hope for the best and leave th I restults to Providence and the weathe man. it ma, be a ni:e day, and it ma: rain, hail, snow, sleet, freeze, drizzi or do any of the other surprising thing for which this day is justly celebratee The only thing we can be absolutel; sure of is that if he lives William Hom ard Taft at high noon on March A 1900, will become president of th United States. Reform In the Musical Program. One improvement in this inaugur tion over all others known to th mind of man will be in the rausi AN the bands except the Marine ban of Washington will be requested nc to , 1ay "Hail to the Chief.' They wi ah:o be politely. but firmly. reminde tiat bands close together should rn play at the same time. A third refori wiLAnt H. Tnrr AND mtiEs B. sHERMAW that has been attempted is to encour age all the bands possible to stay a home. Sonme of the music punisher that go to Washington for the inaugu ration are as bad as the weather, an: that is putting it strong. .Moreovern whntoor three of them try to pla; dilferent tunes in the same block the results are worse than New Year's eva on Broadway. They tie the nerve; into hard knots and make a man wan forever to forswear music, with it: "charms to soothe the savage breast.' So far fronm doing tihe soothe act, tha sort of music would make a savage out of a Sum.Iay setiool superintendent It is the same way with "Hail to thi Chief." It Is a fine old tunie and nat urally would st.ir a president's heart but to hear it all day and all night and that from every kind of band including those torturers of sound tha fat the high notes, is going it a littli strong. Taft is a good, husky speci men of the young American. but he should not be asked to stand too much Ie has several trifling chores to at tend to in the form of inherited poli ies and should not be worn out wit] musical agonies the first day. Platform to Seat 6,000. The huge inauguration plIatform which is situated, as usual, at the eas portico of the capitol. is arranged t< sent .00 people. The timbers usc( are heavy Georgia pine1, thoroughly braced. The speaker's stand, whern the president elect will take the ontl and. from which he will deliver his in augural address, is ornameuted witi: a tower balustrade. It is 2"> by 2( Aet In dimension, while that for the spectators is a trifle over 3S by 143. This will not be big enough by several undred feet to accommodate all thos4 that want to hear the inaugural, but it wmin n Tos who c-annot get seats .an stand off on the outskirts, see the presidential lips move and read the speech in the papers. The main thing, after all, is to be able to tell their grandchildren they saw Taft sworn in. If the president elect bulks as large on the future as lie does everywhere else, the mere fact that one was an on looker at his inauguration ought to kount for somthing. It will be a great show, the biggest thing of the kind ever pulled off. This country is hitting the pike of progress so iard that everything it does is bigger than it ever did before. Taft himself is the largest president we ever had with the possible excep tion of Grover Cleveland, and it is my own belief that in a straightout weigh Ing match he would have Cleveland looking like a lightweight. If the doc trine of correspondences holds good, the largest president deserves the lar gest inauguration, and that is what Taft is going to have. It has been officially decided that the regular ceremony at the capitol shall be a little more solemn and impressive than ever before. There may be joy ,and color in the parade and on the streets, but the only color that will be permitted at the event itself is that of red tape. Dignity is the watchword of the hour. One Omission. "One of the most strIkIng characters in my company," says the author ol "The Story of a Cannoneer Undei Stonewal! Jackson."

The astute and subtle statesman, in the shadow of the grave where he saw with the clearer vision looked at the young man with deep unfathomable eyes and answered: "No, a lIe is not the unpardonabl4 sin. The unpardonable sin is the crue lie." On the borders of that shadowy land where great things grow and small and little things loom -large on the horizor he had come to know that the crimE that is not forgiven is the brutal in stinct that impels us to wound, to im. bitter, to mortify.

VV n Ah,. rosy lips of blushing miaid That thrill the lover on his knee; Oh, nectared, hlonied lips of youth The lush, warm lips of ecstasy I bow my head in thoughts of theel Far down the beetling cleft of Time I gaze with yearning -eye of age And weave thy rapture into rhyme. And yet, 0 wine of June-time love, Iconoclast I break thy sway To dream of lips. alh! dearer far The lips that kissed the tears away! Ah, mother lips I knew of yore, Oh, lips so soft and clinging sweet, I give to thee the truest love, To thee the homage most completo! When all the world was dark and cold. When all the sun was chilled by teirs Thy lips, 0 mother, gone for aye, Were lips that kissed away my fears They came with comfort swift and suri And when upon my eyes they lay, With love and feeling all divine, They kissed my falling tears away! No more when worldly wounds are sore She comes to kiss my weeping eyes; No more. she scourges pain and fear She sleeps, at rest in Paradise. Ah, rosy lips of blushing maid, The lips you yielded in the dusk; Ah, stolen lips, the lips of troth, The lips whose petals hint of musk, Thy glories shimmer on and out, Thy kisses fade to ?ther gray. 0 God, I dream of mother's Fps The lips that kissed the te' rs away.

Some men are natural born duck huinters-but their reign is usually brief. You can always trust some girl to bag 'em early. One of the greatest penalties of marriage is either a husband or a wife. If you are a man, it's a wife; If you are a wife, it's a husband! When a child swallows a fly, give him a piece of fly paper in a capsule.

Some of the new fashions for wom en this spring look like the designers had been trying to fasten the donkey's tail on his body w-ile blindfolded. P. S.-The designers and not the don. keys, blindfolded! It used to be th'e policy to ask for what you wanted and then take it if the favor was granted. Later it be came au fait to take it first and ask afterward. Now the fashion Is to help yourself and tell the owner to go to grass! A late grapevine wire from Bogville, Mich., says that the skeeters of that vicinity are working three daily shifts sharpening javelins. This presages ill for the summer boarders who are be ginning to pick out the happy hunting grounds for their vacations. An exchange wants to know why a tree on a hillside grows straight up? Another wonders why a pigeon bobs its head when It walks. Some time ago I asked for information as to why a rabbit always runs in a curved line? But, come to think of it, this Isn't half as funny as not knowing why a hill side on a tree doesn't grow lefthand ed, why a walk doesn't bob its head when it walks pigeon-toed or why a curved line doesn't trip up the rabbit and give us rabbit stew for dinner!

Sympathy never moistened a parch ed throat. The man who waits for just the right time to start never gets any where. If every woman could trace her de scent from a king sorrow would never again find lodgment in a feminine breast. Most men who claim to have strong convictions would have little left If they were to be deprived of their prejudices. The meanest man is one who will call on a young lady and spend the evening talking about the loveliness of some other girl. There is something uncanny about the mother who admits that her boy may have been just as much to blame as her neighbor's child. $100 Reward, $100.
