THOUSANDS ARRIVE
FOR THE INAUGURAL,
Preparations for Great Event Thurs.
day at Washington Are Completed
by Those in Charqe.

Washington, Mar. Appropriations
for the induction Of William Howard
Taft into the presidency were COM
pleted yesterday, and'the various com.
mittees make the prophecy that the
ceremonies of the day will be the most
brilliant and picturesque Of any pre-
vious inaugural event.
Predictions are made also that the
committee of visitors who will come
from every nook and corner of the
United States will be a record breaker.
The work on the great court of
honor, one of the most beautiful
features of the Inauguration, received
its finishing touches yesterday, and
this focal point of the national function
produces color and decorative
scheme which is said to eclipse all
previous efforts in this direction.
The task of getting the pension Of
flee in readiness for the inaugural
ball will be finished tomorrow. The
beauty which will attend this bril-
liant social event will be unsurpassed,
the committee having spent $4,000
Tor decorations alone.
The large crowds that have already
arrived were augmented today by
many more thousands reaching the
city on every incoming train. There
was also an influx of many organiza-
tons from different states.
Oyster Bay, N. Y, Mar. 2.-As Pres
ident Roosevelt is not expected to
reach here until H.: 80 o'clock at night
on Thursday next, following the in
auguration in Washington of William
II. Taft as his successor, it has been
decided not to proceed with plans for
formal reception. A hearty welcome
for Mr.. Roosevelt at the railroad sta.
ton will not be lacking, however. The
young men of the village plan to have
big bonfires blazing when he arrives,
and it is expected that the residences
throughout the village will be illu-
minated.

A COURSE OF OK,

Try |. a. an Antidote For III. lie q
the Strenuous Life.
In the choice of motor power allow
me to suggest the OK. The horse leans
forward to pull and even helps himself
along by bobbing his head. He jerks a
load out of hard place by plunging
bodily against the collar, stopping and
lunging again. He strains through a
hard place and then starts suddenly
forward at his release. lie works him.
self into lather, and you, If you are
the right kind Of person, cannot help
feeling for him and assisting him with
Inward stress and strain.
The OK does not bob horn. He SIM
ply journeys, and the load goes along.
When he comes to a tough place his
pasterns do not bend down, he does not
squat to pull, he does not pinch along
on the toes Of his shoes, he seldom
blows, and he does not know how to
sweat. He does not exert himself at q
patch Of woven soil and then hurry up
when he is past it. The chain becomes
sitter, and the yoke sits solder to his
neck, and that is all. There is no sign
Of effort. The earth may grit its teeth
and crunch as it swallows the pillow, but
the OK stalks on his way. With the
share deep or shallow or lifted entirely
and hanging from the axle, whether
he is blowing earth or air, it makes no
difference to him. His most ponderous
task Is still himself, and he heeds no
incidentals.
He Is out for stroll. He does not
allow work to interfere with the even
tenor OF his way. His tendons are rig.
ged to his outstanding rump bones like
so much spar and tackle, and he goes
along by interior leverage. Inside his
old woman hulk is the necessary en-
CINE work, and he will neither go SLOW
er for this thing nor faster for that.
There is much about him besides his
disposition that is self contained. BE
Is the antithesis Of the automobile. To
ride on his back Is a cure for indiges-
ton; to ride behind him is a rest for
the mind. A course Of OK is an antidote
for the ills Of the times.-Charles D.
Stewart In Atlantic.

Weioht of a Lion.

What does lion weigh? Those who
know the look Of the king of beasts
best and how small his little body
really is will probably come farthest
from the truth. About 800 to $50
pounds is usual estimate, but full
grown lion will tip the scales at no
less than 500 pounds. Five hun
dred and forty pounds is the record for
an African lion. His bone is solid and
heavy as ivory. The tiger. runs the
lion very close. A Bengal tiger killed
by an English officer scaled $40 pounds.
A tiger this size has, however, con-
siderably more muscular strength than
the biggest lion.

Obe 5cffersontan
BY N0lEe Elliott SeaDeH.

United States Senator, Vice President
and President, did not know his let
ters until he was fifteen years old, and
was taught to write by his wife after
he was a married man.
He was born in Raleigh, N. c., in
1903. But in those days Raleigh was
merely a struggling country town
where country ways and manners pre-
vailed, SO that he was practically a
country boy. He probably knew as
little Of city life as Abraham Lin
coin. His father and mother were
poor and illiterate. His father lost
his life in a brave effort to save an
other man from drowning when An
drew was only four years old.
From the time the boy was ten
years old he had to work. He was
apprenticed to tailor, and served his
time faithfully.
At fifteen this bright but ignorant
boy heard some one read aloud GER
tain speeches from an old collection
Of such things called the "United
States Speaker His intellect seems
to have awakened with bound. He
begged the journeymen tailors with
whom he worked to teach him his let
tiers. This was all he asked Of any
body. He pieced together the letters
and made words. This work was all
done at night, after day Of toll last
ing from sunrise to sunset.
When this tailor's apprentice was
Senator of the United States he was
reminded by vulgar member Of the
Senate Of his tailor's trade. To this
Andrew Johnson sensibly replied that
he acknowledged to have been tai
lor, and owed no man a grudge for
reminding him Of it, but that he would
resent it promptly if any man ac-
cused him Of not being a good tailor,
for when his hand was in he could
make as good coat as any tailor in
the State Of Tennessee.
At sixteen, having served his time,
he went to Lauren's Court House, S.
c., and set up in the tailoring bust
ness for himself. He finally estab-
lished himself at Greenville, Tenn,
but he was a man and not a boy be-
fore he learned from his wife how to
write.
The Boy of Georgetown, o.
Ulysses S. Grant, who succeeded
Johnson, was born in the country
town of Georgetown, O., in 1922,
where his father was a tanner and
farmer.
From his babyhood the boy was de-
voted to horses, and at eight years Of
age he drove his fathers wagons to
and from the tannery. But he dis
liked the lanyard, and preferred very
much working on the farm. At eleven
he could pillow as straight a furrow
as any grown man.
He was one Of the boys who hated
