COURT GIVES SOME INFOR-
NATION REGARDING 1T.
THE INAUGURAL BIBLE
Historic Bibles of the Past and Inter
esting Bits of Information Concern
ing Them The Roosevelt Bible
Never Used A New Bible for the
Next President.

Washington, d. c., Feb, .13-That
the incoming President always takes
the oath of Office on Bible and that
the Chief Justice OF the United States
administers the oath is generally
known, but where the Bible comes
from is fact concerning which the
public knows much less. The one
who is able to give more information
on this subject than any other is Jas.
H. McKenney, Clerk of the Supreme
Court, who is the man who always
has the sacred book. at the right place
at the right time, and in whose hands
strange to say it always so opens that
the august parsonage who is about to
pledge his fidelity to the Constita-
ton and the best interests of the peo-
pile of the United States, finds his
palm resting upon some passage
which is an augury of good for all con
cerned. The purchase of the book is
one of the prerequisites" of the clerk
No" said Mr.. Mckinney, in re-
sponse to question; mo, we do not
use our century-old Bible for the
swearing in of Presidents, but it often
happens that the Clerk supplies new
book for the occasion. 1t is the in
tention that the man who takes the
oath of office should have the volume
as a keepsake, and it generally trans
pires that his family, if not himself
set much store by it. Not always,
however, nor even in a majority of cas-
es, are we called upon to supply a
new book, for it frequently happens
that the President Or some member of
his family is the owner of some treas
ured volume of the Scriptures, which
it is desired that he should use upon
this sacred and important occasion.
This was the case when Mr.. Cleve-
land was inaugurated. He was the
owner of a small bible, not larger
than your hand, and which apparent
ly had seen much usage. His mo-
ther had presented it to him when he
was boy, and he had treasured it ey-
er since. When he was consulted
about taking the oath, when first in
augurated as President, he stated that

CONDUCTOR WALFoRD
KILLED YESTERDAY

Word came to the local railroad
men last night of the killing of Con-
ductor J. W.. Walford at Canadian
yesterday. He was at work in the
yards and was run down by switch
engine. The heavy storm is given as
the cause OF his death. No other de-
tails were received. Conductor Wal
ford was a freight trainman in the
"chain gang" as it is called by the
railroad men. In other words, he
took his turn as 'ffirst in, first out, +"
in the freight train service. He made
nis home with his mother at Amaril-
10 and ran both east and west, max
ing Roswell at intervals. He had not
been here for two or three months,
however. He was about forty years
old and was familiarly known as
"Blondy.'
