SONS, at least $4,000 people paraded I'M
der the flowing canopies of Mukojima,
and forgot even the war news in inhal-

and tasting the delights of spring. The
great crowd was in a holiday temper,
country people in rustic dress and
archaic manners contributed to the pic
turesqueness of the occasion, and the
number of pretty women was the sub
ject of admiring comment. The visitors
in happy good nature enjoyed them
selves wandering about hand in hand,
or in affectionate groups, too happy to
be aemonstrative, and, though the ma
tional stimulants had their effect before
the day was over, no quarreling was
seen. Day after day, as the white bios

carnival week was one of unallOyed en-
joyment.

Ed SIMMONS, of Oil City, Pa, who is
serving a sentence in the Penitentiary
for embezzlement, has petitioned the
Governor for release from the few re-
manning months of his term, that he may
go to California to head off a divorce
suit which his wife has instituted against
him there. The wife was young and
handsome, and it was to crafty her love
for fine clothes and jewelry, it is said,
that the weak but devoted husband was
led into crime. After his Imprisonment
the wife went to awealthy cousin in Cal
ifOrnia, who has now induced her to
marry him. And it is to spoil this pro-
gramme that the aggrieved husband
sues for his speedy release by the Gov
ernOr.
