al 70 of the side streets Thursday
our fng the naval parade as also on
tuesday. A westerner hurrying down
Fourteenth street offered fellow two
bits for a box he had for sale, but
the New Yorker doesn't know what
two bits" is. Nav yO' don't he
said. they're worth a quarter. A
quarter accordingly was paid.
The same westerner after standing
on his box looking over the heads
of less fortunate people for sew
eral hours. admitted that it was a
great parade. a wonderful historical
pageant What do you think of the
floats?" was asked. There's the best
float I've seen today he replied,
pointing TO an apple vendors cart
piled high along the sidewalk with
every kind of beautiful fruit 1t was
indeed beautiful thing. although few
people stopped TO look at it. When
il comes to pageantry the west has it
over he east a bit When you build
floats of canvas and paper mache.,
a thing of beauty and they may just
come" but when you pile seven
hundred bales of California roses on
little furniture runabout crowded
full of pretty girls. you can't miss it
it'll be a joy for quite a while.
The Indian floats in Tuesdays pa
rade attracted wide attention and
were cheered all along the line of
march: There were Irosuois, Tonawan-
das Tipperary and Killarneys and
they looked pretty much like the real
thing. but they got them up in the
New York reservations and they really
don't have anything there but the
kind of Indians you see i'm histories
and Biographies. Ii would have been
a great day for Manhattan, this little
twenty four dollar island, if they
place every Saturday from the Salt
river reservation into Phoenix. One
wagon load of those Pima queens rid
ing in the free postures of their native
grace in the back of a wagon painted
green i'm New South Bend. would
have been sufficient to discover the
aItificiality of Hiawatha's pose. and if
New York could be treated to the
sight of the annual spring wagon race
at the fair there would be no more
call for this historical drollery from
NoOdledOm.
The false note in the great celebra-
ton came out the other evening I'D

Doctor Cook is beginning to lose
ground with the general public here.
The point is this: It's hard to prove
a negative but a positive such as his
claim can be supported by evidence.
Because you didn't see Jake Miller's
catch proves nothing, but if he shows
the backbone you will have to swallow
it. The burden of the proof rests
with him. It's the same with Cook

Cook furnishes his evidence without

the thing will lose interest for want
of a popular hero.
The newest thing in street cars is
the pay as you enter car. 1t has
been gradually introduced throughout
the east in recent months until now
every large city has a number of lines
so operated. and the device is past
the experimental stage. IAN IL rail-
