metamorphossd inEo the primrose which in its ,
early days bore IL 1ame.
The fair spring blossoms which Mother Earth
sent forth to herald the coming Of Easter have
been gossiping about each other. The tales they
tell about the tulip. that bright favorite of Orien
tai lands. besides being highly romantic. verge
on the sensational Its notorious career has been
freely discussed among the less brilliant flowers,
some Of which, in spite Of their sweet gentle
dispositions, resent the tulips regal bearing and
courtly airs. Few people have ever heard the
stories they tell In this busy. hustling age only
poets and occasionally other impractical folk find
time to trace the family trees" and history of
flowers.
But the tulip as well as the other blossoms
that are talked about, will probably be welcomed
even more cordially than of old into the churches
and the homes Of the best families after its
strange and wonderful past becomes known. The
gay-petaled blossom gets its name from simi-
larity to the Turkish headdress and one Of the
chief national festivals in the Sultan's land is
known as the feast of tulips But the proud flow
er has done something than please the
Turks with its beauty.
Once upon time it held just as great an in
fuence over the financial affairs OF some families
as Wall street has had over those OF others. This
all happened something over 300 years ago. when
the tulip was first taken to western Europe.
1t was Immediately enthroned as car in the
floral kingdom, and SO great the rage for 1t
in Holland and France that many families famed
for wealth we're bankrupted by It, The new

florists mad, and speculation in costly bulbs be-
came \ terrible gambling mania among them
rare specimen often won a prize high as that

over the final outcome Of almost priceless seed

that the government finally had to issue a proc
lamation to suppress 1t, During three years
tulips yielded to the city OF Haarlem the snug
little sum of 350000,0o0 The finest bulbs are
still brought from that Holland town. and arc
descendants Of those famous tulips.
While this financial career Of the tulip is most
interesting in specializing circles the poets love
best the tale that tells how the young PERSIAN
always makes It the emblem Of his declaration Of
love- The turbaned swain sends to the lady Of
his dreams the most brilliant tulip he can find.
The message It bears is that like the flower his
countenance 10 all on fire and his heart has been
reduced to a coal by the intense warmth Of his
love.

Der were many former members of
the senate who, because of the fact
that they once held membership in
that body, were given the privileges
of the floor. After the hall was filled
and all the minor officials of govern
ment and those privileged to witness
the ceremonies were seated, William
H. Taft and Woodrow Wilson, proceed
ed by the sergeant-at-arms and the
committee of arrangements, entered
the senate chamber. They were fol-
lowed Immediately by Vice-President-
elect Thomas R. Marshall, leaning
upon the arm of the president pro
tempore of the senate who, after the
seating Of the incoming vice-president.
took his place as presiding officer Of
the senate and Of the days proceed
ings.
The president and the president
elect sat in the first row Of seats di.
rectly in front and almost under the
desk Of the presiding officer. In the
same row, but to their left, were the
vice-president-elect and two former
vice-presidents Of the United States,
Levi P. Morton of New York and Ad-
lai A. Stevenson of Illinois.
When the distinguished company en-
tered the chamber the senate was
still under its old organization. The
oath Of office was Immediately admin

States passed for the first time in

Procession to the Platform.
Immediately after the senate cere-
monies a procession was formed to
march to the platform of the east por-
tico of the capitol, where Woodrow
Wilson was to take the oath. The pro-
cession included the president and the
president-elect, members of the SUI
preme court, both houses of congress,
all of the foreign ambassadors, all of
the heads of the executive depart
ments, many governors of states and
territories, Admiral Dewey of the navy
and several high officers of the sea
service, the chief of staff of the army
and many distinguished persons from
civil life. They were followed by the
members of the press and by those
persons who had succeeded in secur-
ing seats in the senate galleries to
witness the days proceedings.
When President Taft and the presi-
dent-elect emerged from the capitol
on to the portico they saw in front
of them, reaching far back into the
park to the east, an immense con-
course of citizens. In the narrow line
between the onlookers and the plat
form on which Mr.. Wilson was to take
the oath, were drawn up the cadets
of the two greatest government
schools, West Point and Annapolis,
and thanking them were bodies of reg
ulars and of national guardsmen. The
whole scene was charged with color
and with life.
On reaching the platform the presi-
dent and p~resident-elect took the
seats reserved for them, seats which
were fianked by many rows of benches
rising tier on tier for the accommoda-
ton of the friends and families of the
officers of the government and of the
press.
Oath Administered to Wilson.
The instant that Mr.. Taft and Mr..
Wilson came within sight of the crowd
there was a great outburst OF ap-
plause, and the military bands struck
quickly into "The Star Spangled Ban
ner." Only a few bars of the music
were played and then soldiers and CT
villains became silent to witness re-
spectfully the oath taking and to
listen to the address which followed.
The chief justice of the Supreme
court delivered the oath to TIE presi-
dent-elect, who, uttering the words,
Il will" became president of the
United States. AS soon as this cere-
mony was completed Woodrow Wilson
delivered his inaugural address,, his
first speech to his fellow countrymen
in the capacity of their chief execu-
tive.
At the conclusion of the speech the
bands played once more, and William
Howard Taft, now eX-president of the
United States, entered a carriage with
the e president and, reversing the
order of IN hour before, sat on the
left hand side of the carriage, while
Mr.. Wilson took "the seat of honor"
on the right. The crowds cheered as
they drove away to the White House,
which Woodrow Wilson entered as the
occupant and which William H. Taft

Inauguration of Twenty Seventh
President Is Witnessed by
Great Crowds.
MARSHALL SWORN IN FIRST
Simple Ceremony In Senate Chamber
Followed by More Impressive
Affair on East Portico of
the Capitol.
BY GEORGE CLINTON.

Washington, March Ain the pres
ence Of a vast throng Of his fellow citi-
zens, Woodrow Wilson today stood in
front of the east portico of the capitol
and took the oath of president of the
United States. Thomas R. Marshall
already had been sworn in as vice
president, and with the completion of
the ceremony the ship of state was
manned by the Democratic party,
which had been ashore for sixteen
years.
AS the new chief executive of the
nation stood with barred head, Ed
ward Douglass White, chief justice Of
the Supreme court, held before him
the Bible always used in the cere-
mony. Mr.. Wilson placed his hands
upon the book and in a voice strong,
though somewhat affected by emotion,
swore to support the Constitution and
the laws of the country and to perform
the duties of his high Office to the best
of his ability.
Thomas Riley Marshall swore feal-
ty to the Constitution and to the
people in the senate chamber, where
for four years it will be his duty to
preside over the deliberations of the
members Of the upper house of con-
gress.
Severely Simple Ceremonies.
Both of the ceremonies proper were
conducted in a severely simple but
most impressive amer. The sur
~roundings of the scene of the presi-
dents induction into Office, however,
were not so simple, for it was an out
of-door event and the great gathering
of military, naval and uniformed civil
organizations gave much more than a
touch of splendor to the scene.
In the senate chamber, where the
the oath was taken by the man now
vice-Dresident of the United States,
there were gathered about 1000
people, all that the upper house will
contain without the risk of danger
because of the rush and press of the
multitudes. 1t is probable that no.
where else in the United States at
any time are there gathered an equal
number of men and ONE whose
names are SO widely known. The
gathering in the senate chamber and
later Oh the east portico of the CAPT
toll was composed largely Of those
prominent for their services in Amer
lea, and in part Of foreigners who
have secured places for their names
in the current history Of the worlds
doings.

for the inauguration of Woodrow Viii

made by the joint committee on ar
engagements of congress. The senate

Sacred Duties of Home.

More must be done to remedy the
domestic evils of life. The pulpit
ought to be more devoted to the in
struction on home life. The ministry
may be aware of sores among their
people. and for fear of giving offense
they may fail to instruct young and
old as to the sacred duties of the
home. But this mistake is a fatal one.
The result will be that their flocks
will be eaten up of the worms of in
testine domestic corruption. Religion.
or at least piety, will vanish, even if
religious forms be still retained.
Church authorities should be more
wide awake to the greatness of the
evils of this widespread plague

Romans May Have Worked Gold Mine

Every one is aware that prehistoric
gold mines have been found in South
Africa and speculation is still rife as
to the identity of the people who work.
ed them. A news item from Salisbury
informs us that a Roman coin has
lately been found among the debris
of n Of these mines. The coin was
sent to the curator Of coins in the
British Museum, who replied that it
was struck during the reign Of the
Emperor Diocletian, A. D. 309-10. But
the letter adds that these particular
coins are not rare and that it would
be unsafe to draw deductions from 1t
as to the age Of the mine or the ma,
tionality of the miner.
