MISS ROOSEVELT NOT ENGAGED
Denial Of Report Given Out at the
White House.

Washington, Mar. 2-An emphatic
denial of the report that the presi-
dents younger daughter, Miss Ethel, is
engaged to marry Third Assistant Sec.
rotary of State William Phillips, was
given out from the White House.
Secretary Loeb authorized the state
ment that Miss Roosevelt is not en-
gagged to be married and he character
lied as being without the slightest
foundation story from Boston to that
effect ..>....l ..,.
1.-The report of Miss Roosevelt's en-
gagement is a pure invention said
Mr.. Loeb. There is absolutely no
truth in it and you can stamp it as
false" $3.50 !,
Mrs. John G. Phillips, mother of
Mr.. Phillips, said: "The report that
Miss Roosevelt and Mr.. Phillips are
engaged to be married is absolutely

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

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 q 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
for 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-
lions from different states
Oyster Bay, N. Y, Mar. 2.-As Pres
ident Roosevelt is not expected to
reach here until 1880 o'clock at night
on Thursday next, following the in
auguration in Washington of William
H. 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 theNvillage 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. ar Antidote For the lie 4
the Strenuous Life.


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 q
load out of hard place by plunging
bodily against the collar, stopping and
lunging again. He strains through q
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 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 plow, 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. he
Is the antithesis Of the automobile. To
ride on his back Is a cure for indiges-
ton; to ride behind him Is a rest TO,
the mind. A course Of OK is an antidote
for the ills of the times.-Charles D.
Stewart in Atlantic.

And So She "Didna."

Perhaps it was because he wa
Scotch that his temper was quick, but
whatever the reason, he lost it during
a rush hour ut the little country sta
ton where he was employed as porter,
and he told one lady near by that she
could go lowell, a place not down on

Quite naturally, she complained to
the station master, and it was he who
sent Sandy into the waiting room to
apologize for his strong language. He
found several ladies there, and, not
being sure which was the she with
whom his business lay, he asked them
all around whether he had told her to
go-there. The very last one answer

Weiqht 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 500 pounds.
A tiger this size has, however, con-
siderably more muscular strength than
the biggest lion. - .-..

latitude agreed with the latitude of the

one Of the stars of the Southern Cross.
What, thought I! Have we been sailing
with the Southern Cross in the sky Of
nights and never known it? Dolts that
we are! Gudgeons and moles! I
couldn't believe it. l went over the
problem again and verified it. Charmi-
an had the wheel from till 10 that
evening. I told her to keep her eyes
open and look due south for the South
ern Cross, and when the stars came out
there shone the Southern Cross low on
the horizon Proud? No medicine man
nor high priest was ever prouder. Fur
thermOre. with the PRAYER wheel I shot
Alpha Crucis and from its altitude
worked out our latitude, and still fur

and it agreed with what had been told
me by the Southern Cross. Proud?

mine, and listened and heard them
telling me my way over the Deep"
