TAKING HIS SEAT"
Time When the Word Inauguration
Was Unknown.


"It is fact but little known" remarks
an old resident, "that in the early days of
the nation it was contemplated to have the
actual inauguration take place in the CEN
ter of the rOtunda of the capitol This
was very appropriate idea, for in the
early days the space was ample, but the
acoustic properties of the rotunda prevent
ed it, for there were then, as now, too
much echo and reverberation Therefore
until the Inauguration of jackson in 1929
the senate (now the supreme court ROOM
or house (the present hall of statuary) was
the scene of the ceremony.
did you know" he continued, "that
the term inauguration was not "a popular
one years ago? Everybody outside Of
official circles spoke of the occasion as the
president taking his seat, and from this
expression many have the idea that the in
auguration consists of the vacation of a
v9ritable chair by one and the seating of
another in it. 1t is astonishing that there
are thousands in the country who have
such an idea, but when we remember how
general has been the expression in the past
it is not to be wondered at that many
give literal meaning to the phrase. =

VIII Attend the Foundry Church.

Major Mckinley has decided to attend
the Foundry Methodist church, of which
DIR. Lucian Clark of Baltimore is to be
pastor, and has requested the trustees to
assign him the same pew that he occupied
when he was a member of congress- The
church is only couple of blocks from the
White House, two or three minutes walk,
and convenience and association have in,
duced him to select his old house of wor-
ship in preference to the more aristocratio
Metropolitan church, where Bishop Hurst
attends, There has been an active rivalry
among the Methodists to secure the pres,
ence of the president, but he has done the
right thing. No one can criticise him for
occupying as president the same pew that
he rented for ten years while he was in
congress. Chicago Record.

Marrying as a Business.

The marrying business has advanced SO
far in Youngstown, O., as business that
justices of the peace and ministers are Wy
ing with each other in the way of holding
out inducements. 1t is an open secret that
some of the ministers recently mlde deal
with hackmen to pay them so much Of the
fee for every wedding couple delivered to
them. This took portion of the business
away from the justices, and one of them
has had a suit Of rooms finely furnished in
connection with his office for marrying
purposes only. 1t is a matter of conjecture
now what the ministers will resort to
next.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

STRANGE SOAP BUBBLES.
A Remarkable Scene Witnessed In the
Pennsylvania Oil Region.


Pennsylvania Oil Region.
About half mile above Franklin, up
the Erie railroad track, is to be seen one of
the most curious sights in this country
and one which the reporter would not be-
heye existed until he went there with a
friend.
Approaching a small, sluggish stream,
we were surprised to see rising from the
surface of the water a number of bubbles,
which glistened in the sun like glass. 1t
was a beautiful sight. The iridescent
spheres, revolving swiftly after the manner
of soap bubbles, foated rapidly upward,
some breaking at height of 10 or 90 feet,
others soaring away above the tree tops
and out of sight, resembling, more than
anything else, gorgeous toy balloons.
These bubbles were all sizes, from an inch
in diameter to more than foot They
were apparently much stronger and a great
deal more brilliant than ordinary soap
bubbles.
gas line and an oil line had passed
under the run at this point within few
inches of each other, and in each pipe was
a small leak. The digging and ref1lling
of the trenches had made a dam which
held a few barrels of stagnant water.
There was some alkali in the muddy bot
tom, which, in combination with the oil,
formed saponule, a kind of soap. This,
while not being perfect soap, was suffi-
GENTLY saponaceous and cohesive to make
beautiful bubbles when churned by the
escaping gas. The fact that the bubbles
were full of gas caused them to ascend
more swiftly, and the presence of the oil
made them more brilliant, many colcred
and unusually beautiful The bubbles are
rising constantly and can be seen by any
one who desires to take walk out to
where they are.
The strength of these bubbles may be
imagined from the fact that small twigs,
leaves, ETC., had been floating on the sur
face of the water and We're carried UP in
the large bubbles City Blizzard.

FLORiDAS DIVORCE LAWS,

We have it from the Florida Citizen
that a movement is on foot in Jackson
vile to secure the enactment of di-
vorce law whereby legal separations
may be secured after a residence in the
state of sixty days. The idea is that
such a law would increase travel to
Florida, add to the revenue of the law
yers, swell the number of guests at the
hotels and stimulate business in vari-
Gus ways. The present law requires a
residence Of two years. The impress
sion seems to have been made in FlOri-
da that very large number of rich
people, who are Tree with their mon
ely, are anxious to sever nuptial bonds
in some convenient fashion, and that
there is much wealth for Florida in
providing the ways and means. Flor
ida has reached an extremely low state
of morals whenever it's gets it's consent
to fatten upon traffic in divorces. Ne
vada would be a shining example of
decenCy by the side of it..

nominated again on the same platform
my obligations will be different; [ will
not vote for him." Fortunately, there
are enough democrats in Georgia to
keep the state in line without Hoke.
And to even matters up they have new
er voted for Hoke, and never will.

An Animal That works Bard.

The mole's life is by no means an
easy one. He has to work harder for his
pittance of earthworms than any other
animal works for his daily bread. His
whole life is spent in raising and re-
moving piles of earth by sheer force of
muscle. In order to sustain such con-
stant toll and to replace and repair the
used up tissues the mole requires to be
always eating. His appetite is voracious.
He works like horse and eats like an
elephant. Throughout his waking hours
he is engaged in pushing aside earth and
scurrying after worms in all his gal
leries and tunnels The laborer, of
course, is worthy Of his hire. Such
ceaseless activity can only be kept up by
equally ceaseless feeding, and so the
mole's existence is made up of labor and
banqueting. His heart and lungs and
muscles are working at such rate that
if he goes without food for half day
he starves and dies. He is a high pres
sure engine. His drinking is like his
eating. He must have his liquor much
and often. So he digs many pits in his
tunneled ground and catches water i'll
them to supply his needs at frequent in
tervals, He does not believe, however,
in the early closing movement. Day and
night alike he drinks every few hours,
for day and night are all alike to him.
He works and rests by turn, after the
fashion of the laborers employed in dig
ging tunnels, or perhaps he measures
his time by watches, as is the way of

A Cunning Shetland Pony = An Animal
That Works Hard A Lesson In
Physiology-Th Oldest Doll.

Shetland ponies are very tiny little
creatures, not much bigger than st,
Bernard dogs, but they are very obsti-
nate and very conceited. The Great
Round World tells an amusing story of
one of these, which it may be worth the
while of some young folks, though of
course only an occasional one in many,
to consider we'll:
This pony was usedsby my friend to
draw her mothers basket chair, and the
old lady used to drive out nearly every
day. On one occasion my friend decided
to go with her mother, and they started
off in fine style, but when they had gone
about couple of miles Mr.. Pony sud
denly came to astandstill, then wheeled
round and proceeded to go back home.
My friend stopped him and tried to
make him turn back again, but the pony
planted his feet firmly in the road and
refused absolutely
She got out, intending to give the
pony good whipping, but as she looked
at this tiny little thing, small enough
for her to lift, the idea of his darling to
defy her struck her as very funny. She
gave the whip back to her mother and
asked her what she did to Jack when
he was SO naughty.
81 don't do anything, . said the old
lady. "He always stops here and turns
round and goes home again. can't do
anything, and just have to let him
60"
My friend looked at the determined
pony and the helpless old lady, and then
she began to laugh, and, seizing the
pony's head, boxed his ears soundly,
and, taking him by the collar gave him
good shaking. Then, before the pony
had time to think, she twisted him
round, hoped into the carriage and had
him bowling along the road as obedient-
ly as dog.
The pony was SO surprised to find that
he was not the largest and most i'm
portant animal on earth that ever after
this he did as he was told without any
