retained hundreds of admirers.

East Bridgeport Mr.. Coughlin's ear
" life was not the easiest in the
world He was one of a family of
nine, and early it devoIved upon him
to assume considerable responsibility
in helping maintain the home. His
ambition to educate himself led him
to work early and late. While he
was a school boy, he had three large
newspaper routes, earning enough in
this way to contribute his share to
the family income, and at the same
time remain in school While still
a lad in school he worked on a milk
route through East Bridgeport His
uniform courtesy and obIiging man
ner made him a favorite through out
the east side, and his popularity be-
ginning when boy, has grown as he
entered upon manhood. He went into
business for himself for a while, and
then entered the employ of the city.

can't prove 1t by me. So far as my
knowledge and belief go, Inauguration
day weather in Washington usually is
bad.
There have been various measures
introduced in congress to change inau
gura ton day to the end Of April. The
have ranged all the way from simple
bills and resolutions to constitution
amendments. Whatever their form
they have all travelled through the val
ley Of the shadow of the pigeonhole
Everybody admits that the change
should be made, but that does not help
the efforts to change it. People who
participate In inaugural parades or look
on die and are buried in consequence
but the deadly date goes on. President
Elect Wilson proposed that he be sworn
In on March 4, but that the publiesrxlc
bration be left till later. Everyb0d,
said it was n fine proposal and then
proceeded deliberately to prepare fol
the public ceremony on March 4. Can
you beat 1t?
Custom is mighty and shall prevail
President Elect Wilson also suggestco
that he wanted simple inaugura
without so much fuss and feathers
and so many troops. Thereupon tn
committees In Washington got togeth
er, adopted solemn resolution approx
ing the idea of simple inaugural, mad,
various speeches telling why simplicity
should prevail and then proceeded To
follow precedent and to arrange the
same kind of inaugural that had beer
held from time immemorial.
The head of the committee in charge
of the Inauguration is William Corco
ran Eustis of the District of Columbi
and state of Virginia. Eldridge T.
Jordan, Washington bank president
Is vice chairman, and Major Genera
Leonard Wood, now the head of the
army, Is grand marshal. There are va
rious subcommittee containing the
names of nearly every man socially
prominent in Washington. If these
committees alone were to parade they
would require quite some time to pass
given point. There would be the
visitors, the honorable committee on
legislation, the honorable committee ON
decorations, the honorable committee
on this and the honorable committee
on that. All of which teaches us that
the Inauguration of a president of the
United States is stable function.
quarter of a million visitors are ex
pected in the capital city that week
Nor will they all be looking for office
1t is expected that at least the bands
and the militia will have no banker
ings to enter the public service.
The Faithful Will Be There.
1t will be "a day of glory for the
Democrats. Not for twenty years
have they had an opportunity to par
ticipate in like festival Of joy. Dur
ing four successive campaigns theJ
have fought, bled and died for thei
country, only to have the victorious
Republicans play the star parts In tn
parades. VIII our Demo
cratic friends permit this proud oppor
tunity TO slip now that 1t has come
their way? Not a slip. AS the Ken
lucky colonel remarked to the Georgia
judge: 1T is long time between Dem
ocratic inaugurations. Let us don our
glad habiIiments and go thereto"
All the faithful will be there, eithe

good will of the whole people, regard

Court Of Justice.

Ravens, starlings and crows are
believed to hold courts of justice to
mete out punishment to offend
ers. Sometimes they assemble
in great numbers, as if they
would give great dignity to the
occasion. The trial sometimes
apparently endHres for many
days. Some birds sit at the con.
clave with lowered heads, some
merely cock their heads on the
branches and look grave. while
others are most garrulous and
fill the air with their complaints.
Naturalists studying these
strange proceedings have seen an
apparently selected number of
birds fall upon one or more of
their number, at the close of the
trial" " and put them to death,
after which they dispersed in
orderly fashion and went back
quietly to their nests. Harper's
