Few American authors have APP
pealed to so many sorts OF people as
did Oliver Wendell Hoimea But many,
like him, are assailed by the letters of
strangers Such letters fall into four
fixed classes: The letters OF critical
approval or condemnation; the bid for
an answer, which will. Of course. con-
tain an autograph: the request for
some specific service; the request for
literary" advice. usually as regards
piece OF lenclosed manuscript. Says
The New York Evening Post.
DR.. Holmes belonged to the idustri-
Gus. long-suffering type Of author who
tries to answer every letter and do
every possible favor. He had consid-
Grafton even for the autograph hunters,
who swarm about the luckless eelebra-
ty with winged missives, like gnats
Yet evidently he was sorely tried by
them. To a friend, he writes:

also remind me that ] am advanced in

4 And TO one petitioner, he answers
you are very welcome to- my auto

many friends besides yourself" This
IL typical of his good mature. But
occasionally, he was forced to draw the
line. as. for instance. when he was
asked to write a poem for . certain
fair. Nevertheless he makes his refusal
gracefully:
ITO write q lyric is like having Mt,

vous energy had expended tself."
1t is plain that In his various capa-
cities--not merely as author. but as
doctor, professor, and incidentally the
best conversationalist In Boston,
many calls were made upon DR..
Holmes. As he wrote To one lady:

up in words so soft that the recipient
thought more of the expression than Of
the fact OF refusal. Yet he did not
hide behind excuses, though he be-
gins one letter:

/ Washington second swearing in
at Philadelphia in 1898 was the first
March inaugural.
Adams was inaugurated in the
House of Representatives Philadel-
phia. Jefferson's was the first at
| Washington. Monroe established the
precedent for taking the oath on the
east portico of the Capitol, although
| he was sworn the second time in the
House on account of the intense cold.
| j. O. Adams, his successor, also took
| the cath indoors. Jackson re-estab-
lished the custom which has prevailed
| since. Jackson was the first Presi-
dent to attract a large pilgrimage of
admirers to attend the inaugural cere-
monies.
German sharpshooters were dis
| tributed upon the roofs of the houses
! lining the route of Lincoln's first in
augural procession to and from the
Capitol
Grants first inaugural parade
marched in eight grand divisions. APP
i preciaung Grants strained relations
with Johnson, the inaugural commit
tee proposed to drive the two to the
| Capitol in separate carriages abreast,
but this angered johnson. He abb
scented himself from the entire cere-
mony, and Grant rode to the Capitol
with General Rawfins.
Grover Cleveland's first inaugura
| ton eclipsed all previous ceremonies
in one respect, the crowds from out
side numbering 100000. The hold
! ing of the ball that year in the Pen
sion Office set precedent followed
ever since. Although Benjamin Har-
rison's Inauguration day was prob
ably the wettest, $4,000 men paraded
! in the rain, and the ball broke all
records with an attendance of 1900,
while the inaugural committee real
/ lied a surplus of $4,000.
A unique feature of McKinley's
| first Inauguration was mounted de-
| tachment of special aids, composed
of the sons of ex-Presidents. He re-
viewed his second parade within II
large case of plate glass, placed in
