Mioht Look for Recovery.

The following was told of the pa
tient of well-known New York ply
sician:
The patient, an elderly gentleman,
became quite i'll while the doctor was
absent upon vacation, the indisposi-
ton being the result of too frequent
rotations. A female nurse was at once
engaged to care for him in his hotel.
A lady, residing in the same hotel,
became aware of his illness. and in
terested herself to the extent OF one
morning inquiring concerning his con-
dition of the chambermaid.
"Shure, ma am" replied Maggie,
an think he do be getting along
very well. The nurse was sittin on
his lap this mornin'i"

float over the city, dropping fiery
bombs, wrecking the buildings which
crumble and fall until all are utterly
destroyed. The action OF the encoun-
ter of the aeroplanes and the destruc-
ton of the city were marvelously
realistic.
Parade in the Snow.
The paraders in the afternoon had a
hard time of it, but manfuliy pushed
their way through the snow and slush.
Maj. Gen. J. Franklin Bell was the
grand marshal
The military division had the right
of way after the presidents escort
At its head were the West Point ca
diets and the midshipmen from the
naval academy at Annapolis. The
cadets of both schools were cheered,
as they always have been cheered at
every inaugural parade in which they
have taken part. Immediately behind
the future officers of army and navy
came the regulars of the military serv-
ice. In the line were the $500 men
who had formed the Cuban army of
pacification.
In the waters of Hampton roads for
ten days the feet which had made its
record-breaking journey around the
world had been assembled The bat
tleships, the cruisers, the destroyers
and the torpedo boats were drawn
upon for tackles to give the sea
service an adequate representation in
the inaugural ceremonies. There were
5000 sailors from the Connecticut. the
Illinois and the other ships of Sperry's
fleet in the parade. The marines fol-
lowed the sailors
National Guardsmen There.
Next came the National Guards
men from various states of the union,
and their excellent marching and evo-
lutions ELECTED enthusiastic applause.
In the rear of the military division
came the civic organizations. There
were in line more than 100 clubs and
political associations from all parts of
the country, nearly all of them wear
ing some unique and distinguishing
uniform.

The wide check of his suit and his

Swaps Wife for Beer.

Toledo, O.-Claiming that her aged
husband, suffering from a deep-seated
thirst in dry county, had traded her
for keg of beer that some more fortu-
nate neighbor had succeeded in smuggling
over the line, Mrs. Goddell, aged 65, of
Bowling Green o., was taken in care
by the Wood county trustees. She was
found living with her daughter, the lat
ter's husband and six children, after
running away from the man whom she
claims bought her. The family was liv-
ing in the most abiect restitution.

The spoils system impels men to
make all they can within limited
time. The merit system admonishes
them to play fair and so hold their
Jobs without reference to political in
reference. One tempts man to
graft while he has the chance. The
other prompts him to so conduct him
self as to retain a good thing. This
valves moral considerations-bu SO
do many politicians.

May Use Natural Gas.

New Orleans, La.-That natural gas
may be piped to various cities in Louis
lana, Arkansas and Texas from the fields
in Caddo parish, whose supply is said TO
be practically inexhaustible, now seems
to be probable. Already Shreveport, La,
and Texarkana, Ark, are getting their
gas supply from these fields and a. prop
osition to extend similar service to
many other cities, including New Or
leans, has been made. In the Caddo
fields wild" well has been burning for
over three years, consuming many mil.
lions of feet Of gas daily.

Ball. and Parade Given.
Though the thousands of citizens
who had come here from all over the
country were denied the privilege of
witnessing the solemn ceremonies at
tending the administering of the oath
to the new president, the more spec

The ball, given in the Pension build

1t was attended by a tremendous
throng. In the center of the great hall
which occupies the lower floor of the
structure, a space was roped off. The
visitors stood outside the open place

Unusual success attended the efforts

generally admitted that such wonder

A vaulted canopy of bunting reduced
the great height of the hall by some
40 feet. The color scheme of this can

was also carried out behind the two
storied colonnades which encircled the
court. forming background to the
elaborate floral decorations.

watched by a most delighted multitude.
The display began by the discharge
Of 101 aerial guns, the national salute,
and was followed by the lighting OF
$50 prismatic fires which changed
color a number of times. The illu-
mination was superb and the effect
of the changing tints on the towering
marble shaft of the Washington mon
ument was extremely beautiful. Then
came the flight of $50 rocket bombs
fired from several positions so as to
blend their various colors, and then
in rapid succession the discharge of a
battery of magnesium balloons fol-
lowed by a marvellous "sun cluster"
and batteries of fiery cobras, and the
burning of great quantities of ruby
fire, which gave its red tint to every
object within a radius of many
squares.

the admiration of the great throng OF
