ing youth and beauty, official power
and political fame united in the bril-
liant Inauguration ball as browning
demonstration.
This years Inauguration day was
perhaps the NEST notable and spectac-
ular event of its kind in the history Of
the nation. The popularity of Presi-
dent Roosevelt was expressed at the
polls: it was demonstrated in pictur-
sequences and enthusiasm i'll connec-
ton with his taking the oath of office.
1t seemed fitting that a record-break-
ing President should have a record
breaking inauguration. In splendor it
eclipsed the best Of the past and the
crowds We're larger than ever before.
Every estimate placed the number Of
visitors above 100000. The highest
previous record is 10000. The capac
ity of Washington to entertain a crowd
was taxed to the limit, and some
had to pay dear for their entertain
ment. Some rooms brought $40 for
the day.

THE TRICKS
Coffee Plays OH Some.

It hardly pays to laugh before you
are certain Of facts, for it is sometimes
humiliating to think of afterwards.
when | was a young girl l was a
lover Of coffee but was sick SO much
the doctor told ne to quit and | did,
but after my marriage my husband
begged me to drink it again, as he did
not think it was the coffee caused the
troubles.
so | commenced it again and con-
tinued about months until my stom-
ach commenced acting bad and chok-
ing as if l had swallowed something
the size Of an egg. One doctor said it
was neuralgia and Indigestion.
lone day / took drive with my
husband three miles in the country and
1 drank a cup of coffee for dinner. l
thought sure | would die before l got
back to town to Il doctor | was drawn
double in the buggy and when my hus-
band hitched the horse to get me out
into the doctors office, misery came up
in my throat and seemed to shut my
breath off entirely, then left all in
flash and went TO my heart. The doc
tor pronounced it nervous heart trou-
BILE and when / got home l was SO
weak | could not sit up.
MY husband brought my supper to
my bedside with nice cup of hot
coffee, but 1 said: Take that back,
dear | will never drink another cup
of coffee if you gave me everything
you are worth, for it is just killing
me- He and the others laughed at me
and said:
The idea of coffee killing any
body
Well l said, it is nothing else
but coffee that is doing it.
In the grocery one day my husband
was persuaded to buy box Of Postum
which he brought home and | made it
for dinner ana we both thought how
good ii was, but said nothing to the
hired men. and they thought they had
drank coffee, until we laughed and told
them. Well we kept on with Postum,
and it was not long before the color
came back TO my cheeks and | got
stout and felt as good as l ever did in
my life. | have no more stomach trou-

Timely Advice.

When the financial panic Of 1893
broke out, the senior editor of a trade
journal published in the interests Of
business men and financiers was on a
visit to a mining town In the far
West. Fearful lest his junior, in the
office at home, might give editorial ut
terance to pessimistic views and weak
en- public confidence still further, he
FASTENED to a telegraph Office and de-
spatched a brief message of advice.
1t happened that the Junior partner
on this particular day had just be-
come the father of pair Of fine twin
boys. While his friends in the office
were congratulating him upon this
event, a messenger entered with a
telegram. He opened it, and read the
following message from the senior
partner:

they will brighten up soon. Take a
cheerful view Of the situation. Hi

The Obligation Which Mr.. Roosevelt
Took Saturday.
The oath of office taken by the in
coming President of the United States
is the shortest and the simplest required
Of any ruler on earth. 1t is prescribed
by the Constitution, and is as follows:
L DO sOlemnly swear tor affirm that
l will faithfully execute the Office Of
President Of the United States, and, to
the best of my ability, protect. preserve
and defend the Constitution of the United
States"
This oath is slowly repeated by the
President-elect after the chief justice of
the Supreme Court, in the presence of
the public. upon a platform erected in
front Of the main door on the eastern
side of the capitol. After the President
has taken the oath he delivers his inau-
gural address. While the oath is being
repeated the President-elect and the chief
justice face each other and hold with
their right hands. between them. Bible.

inauguration of President Roosevelt.
KashinCton CORRESPONDENCE:

Washington correspondence:
Theodore Roosevelt has been duly
inaugurated President of the United
fee with impressive sOlemnity as he
stood before the white-haired Chief
Justice on the Capitol plaza Saturday
afternoon, and then reverently kissed
the Bible opened before him. That
was the final act of the making OF a
President. after the people had eX-
pressed their will at the polls more
than four months before, and the elec-
toral college had declared the will Of
the people in Congress three months
later. There were intermediate steps
and many formalities, but this simple
act Of the taking of the oath to pre-
serve, protect and defend the consti-
tuition of the United States was the
eliminating act by which Theodore
Roosevelt placed the crown of author
ity upon his head and became the chief
executive of over 76,OO0,VVO people.
1t falls to comparatively few people
to behold such a spectacle as that
which those Oh the plaza saw before
them as the President took the oath
of Office. In front, acres and acres OF
humanity, with upturned faces. In

cans, who will see or die.

ture the beautiful library of Congress,
fit monument to the artistic and edu
eational instincts of a people who es-
cOrted to the executive chair their
twenty-seventh President in a little

IN all the world of beauty Of archi-

try, but waiting in patience to do es-

HIS AnOstOlic Majesty.

The title of apostolic majesty" is
borne by the Emperor of Austria as
King of Hungary.
Hungary was ruled by dukes from
its conquest by the Magyars to the
year 1000, the regal title being as
sumed first by Walk, whose education
had been intrusted by his father, Gey-
"a, who had married a Christian prin-
cess, to Adalbert, bishop of Prague.
On succeeding his father Walk en-
braced and established Christianity,
applied for and received from Pope
Sylvester II. the title of apostolic
king" was crowned as Stephen L. and
afterward known as st. Stephen.
The title was renewed by Clement
MI. in 1853 and, though abolished in
1913, was reassumed as apostolic
majesty" in 1851 and restricted in
1868 to the Austrian emperor in his
character as king of Hungary. The

Spells of Numbness and Weakness
Receivers Perfect Health.
When she was fourteen years old, Mrs,
Ida L. Brown had st. Vitus' dance.
She finally got over the most noticeable
features of the strange ailment, but was
still troubled by very uncomfortable SEN
sations, which she recently described as
follows
Zone hand, half Of my face, and half
of my tongue would get cold and numb.
These feelings would come on, last for
about ten minutes, and then go away,
several times day. Besides L would
have palpitatlon of the heart, and my
strength would get so low that l could
hardly breathe. AS time went on these
spells kept coming oftener and growing
worse. The numbness would sometimes
extend over half my body"
Glow did you get rid of them?"
cit seemed for long time as if never
could get rid of them. 1t was not until
about six years ago that | found remedy
that had virtue enough in it to reach my
case. That was DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, and they have since en-
tirely cured me-"
did it take long to effect q cure?"
"No! I hadn' taken the whole of the
first box before l saw Il great improve
ment. So kept on using them, growing
better all the time, until had taken eight
boxes and then [ was perfectly well, and
1 have remained i'll good health ever
since with one exception"
"What was that"
ooh that was when I had the grip
I was i'll bed, under the doctors care,
for two weeks. When L got up [ had
dreadful attacks of dizziness. had to
grasp hold of something or l would fall
right down. l was just miserable, and
when l saw the doctor was not helping
me, began to take Dr. Williams Pink
Pills again. In short time they cured
me of that trouble too, and | have never
had any dizzy spells since"
Mrs Brown lives at No 1705 Dewitt
street, Nation, Illinois. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are without an equal for the
rapid and thorough cure of nervous pros
tration. They expel the poison left in the
system by such diseases as grip and are
the best of tonics in all cases of weak
ness. They are sold by every druggist.

BAD BURGLAR CAUGHT.
H. B. Wilson Enters Agnew Residence
and is Caught With the Goods.

Through some good work by the police,
II. B. Wilson p'ead guilty Of burglary
before Judge Fox yesterday afternoon,
and was bound over to the superior
court. On Saturday, Attorney Agnew
and family went to Olympia to spend
Christmas, leaving their residence, on q
street between Second and Third, unoc-
cupied, and that night Wilson entered
the house and searched it for valuables
from top to bottom, taking some with
him, and leaving the most portable to be
"called for"
About 3 O'Clock Sunday morning Off
Ger Miles noticed man at G and Hume
streets holding in his hand what ap-
peared to be a piece of silverware, and
arrested him on suspicion OF having
stolen it. When taken to- the police
station he had a suit of clothes on his
arm, two pieces Of silverware and valu-
able ivory handled fan were also found
on him, for which he was unable to &C.
count.
He was locked up, and the next MORN
ing the case was turned over to Officer
Birmingham, who discovered the name
of Attorney Agnew on the clothes. and
he looked up the home of that gentle.
man. Here it was discovered that the
house had been broken into and thor
oughy searched. A quantity Of jewelry
al d silverware was found laid out, as if
the burglar had intended to return after
disposing of his first installment of
plumber. Birmingham, with this knowl-
edge, put Wilson through course OF
sweating, when the latter confessed to
the robbery, and told that he had pawn
ed pair of opera glasses at a pawn shop
and shot gun at saloon. When ar
rested he ha | on costly pair of Mr.. Ag-
news hunting toots. These articles
were recovered as are all that were
missed by the family when they re-
turned from Olympia.
1t is evident that Wilson, who was
without money, had intended to sell the
articles first taken FOR money enough to
leave the city, and return for the more
portable valurbes :and take the early
train in the morning. His plans would
have been successful but for the watch
fitness OF Officer Miles, and the energetic
action Of Officer Birmingham.
The arresting officers say the statement
in the evening paper, that Wilson was
drunk, is not true, that he was perfectly
sober.
