A NUMERICAL MISTAKE
How Political Candidate of Mississippi
Made a Grievous Error.

How Political Candidate of Mississippi
Made Grievous Error.
"Private" John Allen tells us of an
old time politician of Mississippi who
was making a personal canvass of his
territory.
"One day." relates Mr.. Allen, ''the
statesman was doing the southern por-
ton of the State. Suddenly he struck
community that appeared fairly
a-swarm with children. Never had he
seen so many little ones in so small a
place. Clustered about one doorway
were some fourteen tots of various
ages. In their midst stood an extreme
ly good looking young woman.
Madam said the politician, with a
gallant bow, you must permit me to
kiss those charming little ones.'
1.-THE woman merely smiled
"After he had affectionately saluted
each Of them, he asked, with a genial
smile, All yours?
'The young woman blushed.
''The statesman, with another bow,
then said: I trust, madam, that may
further trespass upon your good ma
ture by asking that you will be so
good as to inform your husband that

from this district, called upon him this

claimed the astonished statesman. You
are not widow?

TIE ANCIENT HORSE:
Traces OF Different Family From That
of the Familiar Ones Known.


In knowledge, Mr.. X. Lydekker
traces the Later History of the
Horse" and endeavors to decide be-
tween the alternative theories of it's
derivation from those primitive breeds,
when, as Mr.. Klpling says in the Just
So stories, the horse followed the dog
in becoming the friend of man. There
is, says Mr.. Lydekker, decisive evil
dence of the existence in Egypt, in
1900 b. c.. or earlier, of long named
breed of Arab horse totally unlike the
wild tarpan or the prehistoric horses
familiar to the cave jewellers of La
MGdelaine. Such a breed must have
been the result either of long antece-
dent dOmesticaton. or must have been
produced from wild species furnished
with Il long name and tail. Probably
the former view is correct SO far as the
development of the name and tail is
concerned although it is most likely
that the breed traces its origin to a spe
cies distinct from the tarpan and pre-
historic horse of western Europe. That
such a breed should have been intro
duced into Germany and Britain in
pre- Caesarian times-at all events, in
such numbers as to obliterate all traces
of crossing with the wild horses which
abounded in those countries during
that period-seems to him in the high
est degree improbable; and he there
fore cannot at present see any valid
reason for refusing to credit the view
of Flower that in Palaeolithic and Neo-
lithic times the indigenous hog named
wild horses were domesticated by the
aborigines.

LoNDoN's BATHING WOMEN.

Who could guess that Londons edu-

women among its numerous classes
of workers? Yet such is the case.
They are called in to superintend the
washing Of children in the schools for
the mentally deficient. They are paid
sixty cents for one and a half hours
work. In addition, however, they are
called upon to wash the towels and
tidy up the bathroom after use.

Washington. Mar, 4-President Roose-
velts inaugural address follows:
My Fellow Citizens:
No people on earth have more cause
TO be thankful than ours. and this is said
reverentiy. in no spirit Of boastfulness
in our own strength. but with gratitude
to the Giver Of Good who has blessed us
with the conditions which have enabled
us to achieve so large a measure Of we'll
being and Of happiness. To us as peo-
pie it has been granted to lay the foun-
dations of our national life in a new
continent. We are the heirs Of the ages,
and yet we have had to pay few Of the
penalties which in old countries are eN-
acted by the dead hand of a bygone
civilization. We have not been obliged to
fight for our existence against any alien
race; and yet our life has called for ne
vigor and effort without which the man
Iier and harder virtues wither away. I'm
der such conditions It would be our own
fault If we failed; and the success which
we have had in the past, the success
which we confidently believe the future
will bring, should cause in us no feeling
of vainglory. but rather a deep and abid-
ing realization OF all which life has offer
ed US; a full acknowledgment Of the
responsibility which is ours; and a fixed
determination TO show that under free
government a mighty people can thrive
best. alike as regards the things of the
body and the things of the soul.
1--WE Have Become a Great Nation"
Much has been given to us, and much
will rightfully be expected from us. We
have duties to others and duties to our
selves: and We can shirk neither. We
have become a great uatlon, forced by
the facts Of its greatness into relations
with the other nations Of the earth; and
we must behave as beseems n people
with such responsibilities. Toward al
other nations. large and small, our atti
tude must be one Of cordial and sincere
friendship. We must show not only in oul
words bu. in our deeds that We are earn
estly dcslrous Of securing their good will
by acting toward them in a spirit o
Just and generous recognition Of all thei
rights. But justice and generosity in
nation. as in an individual, count mos
when shown not by the weak but by tn
strong While ever careful TO refrain
from wronging others. we must be no les
insistent that we are not wronged our
selves. We wish peace; but we wish tn
peace Of justice, the peace OF righteous
ness. We wish it because we think it !
right and not because we arc afraid. n
weak nation that acts manfully an
justly should ever have cause to fear US
and no strong power should ever be abl

from President by chance into Presi-
dent by choice; from President through
an assassin's bullet into President

Under the shadow of the gray-d DOM

first President, the twenty-sixth Pres

fully to execute the laws and to pre-
serve, protect and defend the Constitu-

Early this morning a light snow fell. II
soon turned to rain, however, and at 73l
O'Clock the sun broke through the clouds
and the weather cleared. The sunshine

escorted along the nations grandest

who had honored him with a greater

The President today wore quaint old
gold ring with opal setting, which was
taken from the finger Of President Lin

Theatre. in Tenth street, on the night Of
his assassination.
II was given TO Mr.. Roosevelt yesterday
by Secretary of State John Hay who was
ono of Lincoln's private secretaries, with
the request that he wear it on Inaugural

The President showed the ring to some
of MS visitors. saying that he prized the
honor OF wearing this old piece Of jewelry
which the great Lincoln had once owned
and worn

No Misunderstanding This Time.
-Four years ago there was an em-

the members of the Supreme Court
and the Diplomatic Corps as to the
precedence in the march OF notables

This year there were sdelts for all. but
the justices went ahead and the diplo-
mats followed.
The imposing form Of Associate
Justice John Marshall Harlan, who is
almost heroic in stature, was the first
to catch the eye of the vast crowd.

A Missouri Preacher Has Discovered
the Wicked One Resides i'm Paris.
That Missouri preacher who has
discovered definitely that satan lives
in Paris settles a question that has
long disturbed the human mind. says
the Louisville Courier-J Journal. Chi
eago has contended that he dwelt ia
New York, and New York has located
him in Chicago, while other cities
have spotted" him in both. Sam
Jones had the audacity to announce
that he lived in Louisville. If the
Missourian can prove that satan is
actually on the other side of the At
lantic there ought to be some way of
keeping him over there. OF course,
though, Iif he learns of Miss Tarbell's
efforts to make John d. Rockefeller
out wickeder person than himself it
is all off, for he will want to fit back
to America to prevent his reputation
from being overlooked.

A Tip About Dressing the Hair

The Victim of an Unknown Bureau.
A Tip About Dressing the Hair.
"She has pretty hair p" the athletic
girl admitted, ''but it is never dressed
evenly. The right side always looks
much better than the left"
'That is because she never moves
her bureau" said the wise girl. Her
room is so small that she can't haul
things around, so month in and month
out her looking glass stands in the
same corner by the window, and month
in and month out she dresses with her
right side to the light and the left in
the shadow.
consequently one-half of her face
and hair is well groOmed, while the
other half gets only lick and
promise. Any girl who would avoid
looking one-sided must dress one
week with her right side to the win
dow. the next week with her left side
in the light"

CANNON MADE FROM ROCK.
Many of These Guns Able TO Throw
O,OOO-Weight of Rails.

Most people are aware that the for
tihcations at Malta we're cut out of the
solid rock, but it is not generally
known that rock cannon were used to
defend the place when the knights held
it.
The knights shaped and bored rocks
IN the form of gigantic cannon, which,
when Loaded, contained a whole bar
rel OF gunpowder. This shoveled in,
the cannon mouths were plugged with
pieces of wood as wadding, and load
ed up with cannon balls and shells.
Many of these cannon, of which fifty
commanded the spots where hostile
ships were likely to approach, were
able to throw 1O,0OO-pound weight of
balls.
Nothing surpassed these natural
cannon in the days of the Knights, and
they were unknown anywhere else in
the world.

PLANS A MODEL CITY.
Indiana Man Seeks a Site for Co
operative Arcadia.

! operative Arcadia
J. A. Everett, an Indiana newspaper
man, is now seeking a location for his
Model City, an Arcadia on CO.
operative lines. His hope is to obtain
an option on a town of 1000 or 5000
inhabitants, either in Indiana of Hi
nois, and there to found what he be-
lieves will become the agricultural
capital of the United States.
Other options will be taken on all
lands for miles around Land owners
who are on the land when Mr.. Everett
acquires it will be permitted to retain
their homes and twenty acres if they
so desire. The rest of the property
will be laid out in twenty acre tracts,
which will be offered to settlers who
desire to engage in farming.
The city's government will be on the
lines of equal rights and privileges
and equal profits to all who share its
burdens.
All the public utilities, light,
heat, power, transportation, or water,
will be owned by the city, and suppl
ed to the consumer at actual cost.
The question of money, MIR. Everett
says, will be met by membership dues
and entrance fees into what may be
termed "The Community. With this
fund as nucleus and with revenues
from sale of land and the various in
terests of the society, it is hoped that
the matter can be adjusted satisfac-
torily.
An important feature of the indus
tries of this community will be the
regular publication of official books
and papers and the issuing of all
documents and blanks necessary for
the systematic carrying on of the en-
terprise. Each agricultural interest
will have it's individual organ.
Another part of the society's work,
as Mr.. Everett dreams of it. would be
the foundation and maintenance of all
schools necessary for the technical ed
ucation of farmers and their children.
It is the plan to establish a great
parent university in the model city,
which would have branches in other
agricultural districts throughout the
country.
Insurance policies on crops will be
issued against floods, storms and
drought.
