WILSON PLEASED
WITH COLLEGE BOYS.

The comparison between the happy
smiling countenarce of William How
ard Taft and the serious pose of
Woodrow Wilson on Tuesday was un'
doubtedly made by every one who saw
the two men riding side by side. 1t
almost seemed from their appearance
that it was Taft that was being inau
gurated and that Wilson was leaving
the presidential chair. But there were
times when the new President did
smile and once Or twice waved mis- hat
When he smiled it was a geun:nc
smile of appreciation and there was an
occasion for it.
And when he waved his hat his
heart, not his pride, was touched.
lie acknowledged the salutation Of
every governor who rode By him in
a fitting manner; he raised mis- hat
whenever flag was lowered; he show
ed real concern on several occasions
when the horses ridden by the color
bearers, became almost manageable
when the Tapping flags were lowered
beside their heads.
He would rather have foregone all
the display than to have had single
man thrown and injured. On two or
three occasions hospital ambulance
clattered by his stand, and his face
grew graveyard he wondered if anyone
had been injured.
On more than one occasion broad
grin crept over his face to be sup
pressed in an instance as some fat mi
litia officer or member of the staff
Of a Governor, radiant in gold lace,
bounced by on a horse that was un-
curried and spawned and swaybacked,
and which looked as if it had been re-
Questioned from some ancient "sea-go-
ing hack" or transfer wagon.
The humor of such situation ap-
pealed to him at once, but he tried to
hide it.
But it was not until the end of the
parade was passing that Mr.. Wilson
gave much sign OF real feeling.
When the students from Princeton
came along shouting their college
yclls and cheering for Wilson, there
was JOY in his laugh--the occasion
was too great for smile, and he way
ed his bat to his boys. They are very
close to his heart, for one Of the great,
est fights of his life was made in thciI
behalf and for their training as true
soulcd Americans, free from snobbish-
ness.
But a little way along came another
army Of college boys. They Wcrt
from the University of Virginia, about
thousand strong. and at their hcac
was the Stonewall Brigade Band from
Staunton, the town in which he wa!
born
H did not know who they were a
first. AS the boys ard the barc
swung around from Fifteenth stree
% pass his stand, the band strucl
up and thousand boys voices swell

/ TIE OLD MAID
| I know of woman who's known te
you all,
She's not very short and she's moi
| very tall,
She's not very thin and she's not
/ very stout,
In fact. this same woman Pm talking
! about
Is quite commonplace, that is all.
For you see in most things she is just
about grade,
But one question you'll ask she will
surely evade,
For she's not very young and she's
not very old,
And the question of age, have
often been told,
Will be lodged if it's asked an old
maid.
She's got quite temper and some
timss will say
What she has on her mind in mill
tant way,
Then you'd better quickly upon Jour
way hike.
For she's just q bit sharp with the
folks she can't like,
And your going you'd best not delay.
She knows the town gossip and likes
to relate
Some scandal she's heard of Quit&
recent date,
She starts in the afternoon, just
about three,
To talk to some friend who's en-
gagged serving tea,
And some sly bit of news to narr.te.
But | notice this maiden of u.ces t:aiE
years
VIII often be found in soma lace
where folks tears
Have taken the place of the stiles
which they showed
Fer trouble had burdened their
hearts with load
Of suffering, sorrow and fears.
She's known in the sick-room, mes
known where the hand
Of the deadly grim reaper has rtach-
ed to demand,
AS toll We must pay, one more life
to his list,
And she shows gricving loved one&
that through the dark mis-
The sun will break through o'es Che
land.
So we wonder al what we cen we
explain,
lust why this woman the Lore lci
remain
What we call in derision a no. less
old maid,
Is not in a white bridal cut az
rayed,
Keeping step to the weddinE arch
strain.

In substance Dr. Mason reitera

safeguard from disease. He makes
light Of the argument advanced by
Mr.. Bowie that the reform strikes
blow at the double standard. The eff
