down the curved walk at the western

The parade was several miles in

hours in passing the reviewing point.

Who Made Up tie Parade.
The greatest event in the life of
William Howard Taft, now President
of the United States, was now practi-
cally over. More than $4,000 soldiers
and sailors, regular and volunteer,
and more than 5000 members of
civic organizations were in the great
parade, total of nearly $4,000 per-
sons. Zt.S
Pyrotechnics.
The fireworks programme, which
began at $50 O'Clock contained fifty
numbers, and embraced 1000 rocket
500 batteries, 600 colored
lights, 2 tons of colored fire, so bal
looms, 10000 Roman candles, and $50
sky rockets. One of the unique fea-
lures was pillar of light 100 feet
high, which was seen for miles
around. The Star Spangled Banner
was unfurled 1000 feet in the air and
the word, "Taft'' appeared in let

was accompanied by an aerial salute
of twenty-one guns. The most spec

President Taft Leads the Dance.
President Taft and Vice President
Sherman arrived at the ball at 9:30
p.>m, when the grand march began;
which was led by Mr.. Taft, who also
danced in the first waltz. The bril-:

the gorgeous dress Of the diplomatic
corps, and the expensive costumes of
the women, all went to make scene
that will long linger in the memories
Of the beholders.

EVOLUTION OF THE RING.

People who say that marriage is a
state of servitude for the woman find
particular significance in the be-
stowal OF the ring. This mystic gold
en- circlet round which so much ro-
nance and tender associations have
clustered is mere survival, they say,
of the iron bracelet that man once
played on the arm of his female slave
to signify that she was his. Gradually
this badge of servitude became small
er and more ornamental until from
a symbol Of humiliation it became a
mark of honor and a woman's most
precious and cherished possession

Yesterday the reading public all over the civilized world knew that almost 2000 persons. far out on the Atlantic ocean, on two sinking ships, had been saved from death because one of these was equipped with instruments that enabled it to send in all directions a call for help telling of collision of two ships at sea.
 Almost the whole civilized world, through the wonders of electrical transmission of thought, knows that because of the wonderful invention of wireless telegraphy. three pow erful ships hastened with all speed to the spot from which the call came, and that one of these took all the passengers and cr,Svs from the doomed boats. and ctrried them to land and safety.
 Comparatively few among us have ever seen an ocean, much less been upon the waters of one and experi- enced the thoughts of awful help lessness that comes to the stoutest hearted human being when the ship upon which he depends is in danger of going to the bottom. Neverthe- less there is scarce a l0-year-old child but what has within him something that instinctiyely makes him realize the incoming of such an experience. Almost everyone has some sort of an idea of what it means to be aboard sinking ship.
 This fact explains why millions of people are today realizing more than ever before the import the real meaning and value of wire less telegraphy, that wonderful almost unbelievable thing that en- ables human beings to communicate with each other across thousands of miles of sea and land. with no yisi- 1 ble connection.

Help the world to make some of it's many other dreams. which are not so very different from your own, come true. and it will help you to real. ize yours. Every dream, you know has work behind it for some one. If you want a castle, some one has to build it. If you want dress, some one has to weave it. There fore your way is to work for some one else in the best way you can. and in turn some one else will work for you. You will be paid. And out of your pay, if your work is good. all the things which you de- sire, the dreams which you want to come true. will come true.
 Mind you, the world rarely gives us exactly what we want. And, also, we rarely want what we thought we wanted, after we have it. Nevertheless, the dreams of the world. such as they are-your dreams and mine-are really achiev- able, and the regular shops and factories and trades and professions, which are all about us, show us the way.

 Now raise the heels slowly, press ing the floor with the toes; repeat this ten times. Now hold the arms fiat against the sides, bend the knees and lower the body toward the heels without actually touching them; raise the body slowly, keeping the back straight and upright (other- wise the object will fall off your head), and not allowing the hands to touch the floor. Repeat ten times.
 Next, fill the lungs full of fresh air; hold it, and with the body and head erect. raise one arm forcibly above the head while the other is held close to the side; lower the raised arm, and while so doing. raise the other.
