then south to Washington and a straight hotfeot for the temple for old Jupe was getting busy.
 What took place in the temple last night Is not known of men; 1t is only known of Shriners. The front door was bricked up and the faithful and the ambitious scaled the wall. But it is reported among the sinful that each one got at least three dollars worth and there was no change back. At sometime o'clock this morning the an- nual banquet of the elect was held and it is believed there was plenty to go round.
 The Shriners almanac says, "The evening and the morning will be the second day" and the second day will be devoted to the interest of Isis and his daughters; and this is the second day. It will begin officially at o'clock when the daughters of Isis will hold solemn conclaVe and thereafter fast for seven minutes, then feast as long as the law allows.
 The calendar says also that the evening and the morning shall be the third day and the evening will begin at &: 30 o'clock tonight when the gongs and trumpets vii be heard and the dancing will be announced in O'Neill hall. The third day will really lap back a little onto the second and pro- trude somewhat intd the fourth for it is to be a big day and those who have signed the covenant will feel like it was a whole week.

INAUGURAL PREPARATION Porto Rico and High School Students
 to Be in Line.

Washington, Feb. 22-The Porto Rican battalion of infantry which has been ordered to take part in the inau- guration ceremonies will make the trip from San Juan to this city and back on the steamer Arcadia, which has been chartered by the war department for that purpose. The battalion will number 325 men, and will be quartere1 on the steamer during their stay in this city.
 The plan for having war ships in the harbor on inaugural day has been abandoned and the auxiliary cruiser Prairie will be the only naval vessel to be sent here on that occasion. An other battalion of blue jackets has been organized at League Island Navy Yard near Philadelphia for service in the inaugural parade. These men will make the trip here and back by rail. They will arrive here on the night of March 2, and be quartered at the Washington navy yard. The two bat talions will constitute a distinctly na val brigade and will be in command of Commander Qualtrough of Anna polls. ->S

A HARD SITUATION
That of Two Men Jailed as Witnesses
 in LucerO Murder Case.

It is the opinion of a good many ford to pay witness fees and mileage in criminal cases, it ought at least not treat such witnesses as criminals. There are two men confined in the county jail as witnesses in the Lucero murder case, Cervera Chavez and Pe- trocino Guitterez. These men are not guilty of any crime. They have been taken away from their employment in a sheep camp where all their belong ings are to await the assembling of the grand jury some six weeks hence. Unless these men can furnish bail in the sum of $500 each they will have to remain in jail until the meeting of the jury and in the event of the indictment of Lucero they will have to wait for the trial
 The sheriff and his deputies are showing them as much consideration as they can. The witnesses are not locked up with the ordinary prisoners but are kept in the more comfortable women's cell but they can be given no more liberty than the other inmates of the jail enjoy.
 The two men are actually paying their own expenses in the jail and will continue to do so until their money is exhausted. They could if they chose have their meals served to them free by the Chinaman who has the contract for feeding the prisoners. But as long as they have money to buy better food they will do as almost anyone would do in the same circumstances.

A WAR ON THE ONION.

A campaign against that odOrOus
edible. esteemed everywhere for its
strong SAVIOR of virtues-the onion
is being waged at Portsmouth, Ohio
To trace the origin of the crusade:
A lecturer before the Alliance of
Woman's clubs said that the onion
had no value as food, that it had nc
taste. appealing only to the sense of
smell.
The friends of the down-trodden
vegetable had the Spunk to defend it.
That made trouble in the town. The
ensuing debate estranged friends and
stopped one marriage.
Finally in the effort to settle the
dispute the alliance passed resolu-
tons CHASING the onion with .the
noxious herbs of the lily family" The
concluding paragraphs read as fol
lows:
''Whereas. the Apostle Paul, in his
letter to the Romans, doubtless re-
ferred to the eating of onions when
he said: IF any man defile the tenn
pie of God him shall God destroy, for
the temple of God is holy, which tenn
pie We are therefore
LET all sensible and clean people
cease the onion habit"
There now!
There is no compromise with the
unclean shifting, no meliorative sug-
gestion that the acrid volatile oil of
the onion may be released by boiling.
No. not even In hash!
However,
The onion needs no defnese. 1t is
strong enough to speak for itself.
Consider its history. Think of the
criticisms of the fnical and the pun
gent answer of its bouquet through
the long ages snice it found its early
home in Asia. Bulb and top it has
always been in evidence and has fol
lowed man in all his wanderings. Its
scent has put tang to every breeze.
Remember how the children of Is
rael got tired of mamma and longed
for the leeks and onions of Egypt?
There is ne doubt that as soon as
tEey get settled in the Promised Land
they sent back and got some onion
sets.
The mouths of those Portsmouth
women shall yet water!
And as for us who love the fra
grant fruit-long may its perfume
grace our nostrils. Aye even to the
point of tears.

He Wanted That Wine.

General Sir E. Hamley Is cited as
the authority for good anecdote about
Bismarck Hamley was sitting close
to the chancellor at luncheon, with the
old Emperor William not far off.
Bismarck, talking rather loudly, de
scribed the old monarch as being gen
erous, but very forgetful. Hamley got
nervous, as he thought the emperor
would hear. For instance" continued
Bismarck, 81 pleased him the other
day, and he asked me what he could
do for me. said, Give me dozen OF
that Tokay you have in your cellars,
and he said he would. But" added
Bismarck, raising his voice still higher

hastily broke in, II beg your pardon
but am really afraid the emperor will
hear you" II want him to hear me-!

want" And smile broke over the

An Erie man who has no ambition
to be Chesterfield or leader Of

to dinner few evenings ago. He con-

as last resort tried to make his wife

she was going and he must accompany
her. "Well," he said, I'm sick my

The Animus of Animals.

"Wild animals have a great many
ways Of showing their contempt fer
humankind" said an artist who has
made a speciality Of modelling animals.
Every one has an idea that ele.
plants become tame aud even fond Of
people, but this is altogether wrong
They are easily trained, but are never
tanned. They are docile just so long
as the keeper has his goad in his hand
or the memory Of burning endures
I had proof of this one day while mod
cling one of the elephants in a big amt
NAL show was sitting in his stall
with my modelling stand, not knowing
that on certain days he was giver an
extra allowance of chain. Suddenly
he flung his trunk around with such
force that it smashed the stand to
bits and sent me dozen feet outside
the stall.
Gle never forgot his failure to fin
ish me. and soon afterwards he OK
pressed his dislike in more vulgar
if less dangerous manner. AS worked

but suspected nothing. AT last. when
he had his mouth quite full of saliva.
he blew it toward me-
"This is not only a trick of elc-
plants. but of other animals as we'll.
as I have learned to my sorrow. and
while working near a camel one day

This sculptor and other artists
agree that the eat animals have a diff

less of spite and more real hate in

their modelling stands as close to the
bars as possible This same one was

And especially should they know
how to avoid worry and fear and

In single word. the first great
remedy is Relaxation. At some hour

Give the muscles and nerves a COM

Then practice deep breathing. Any

There is a plant in Jamaica called
the life plant because it is almost
impossible to kill it or any portion
of it. When leaf is cut off and
hung up by string it sends out
white. thread-like roots, gathers
moisture from the air and begins to
grow new leaves. Even when pressed

it was placed. The only way to kill
it is by the heat of hot iron or of
