WHAT HAPPENS 10
BABIES IN SYRIA

TN America when a baby IL to be
christeLed. its parents often give
a party and friends Of theirs bring
presents which the little boy. or girl.
can use when . few years older. But
over in Syria, where many customs
are different from the ones in this
country. parents walt to give a party
until the baby cuts its first tooth.
After the months Of crying and fret
fulness-every boy or girl who has
baby at homo knows what that means
the little tooth suddenly appears
through the gums. Then the father
and mother are very happy and send
out invitation to all their friends.
In America such invitations would
just be written. or engraved. on cards
and the refreshments would be served
at home after the 6 -ests arrived. But
in Syria the candies and fruits and
cakes are sent along with the invita-
tions. The friends receive these at
their homes and enjoy them there.
Later on these friends come to the
home of the baby and dance 1t up
and down in the usua- way. look at
it's fine new tooth and tell the father
and mother they hope It will live to
be hundred years old.
But the parents are not any poorer
after having sent such quantities OF
sweetmeats to their acquaintances, be-

bare for awhile.
When q very special friend is to be
honorcd with the present one of the
parents carries 1t instead of sending
1t by a Eervant. 1t is handed In at
the door with q nice little speech to
which the friend answers something
like this
"Oh, my neighbor and my friend,
may your child live long and bring
Joy to your art / cannot tell you
how happy I am that your child has
cut a tooth. And l am going to make
an Offering to the church for your
child that it may grow up to be good. !"

At the appointed hour-as near
twelve. noon. as possible---the retir-
ing Cabinet. the Senate. the House
of Representatives. the Diplomatic
Corps. the Justices of the Supreme
Court and a small portion OF the
public assembled in the Senate Cham
Der and Its galleries. AS the incoming
and the retiring Presidents were es-
corted into the room everyone rose
to their feet and remained standing
until they had taken their appointed
seats directly in front of the rostrum
and facing the Senate. The Justices
of the Supreme Court. in their long
black robes, were seated on the
rostrurn, with the Chief Justice in
the center of the semi-ci they
formed.
Then the retiring vice-President,
Mr.. Fairbanks, called the Senate to
order and delivered his farewell ad-
dress, Immediately thereafter admin

mansion. The owner was a stern.
grim man who never wanted anyone
to visit him and lived all alone, with
every door bolted and windows barred
tight. He owned ever SO many farms
and cottages and nearly everyone
around here had to pay him rent for
them.
"a great iron fence ran around
the mansion, and in this, directly in
front of the building was a huge iron
gate. Fastened on the outside of the
gate there was a gong. and below 1t.
attached by a chain hung a hammer.
When anyone came to pay the old
man any money, they would strike
the gong with the hammer and at
once the old fellow would make his
appearance and take the money
through the gate bars

money? Guess. dear. You can't
Well Ill tell you what i've heard
about it.
'In those days Gas there are now,
there lived in Amsterdam men who
made living by dealing in diamonds
and other precious stones Other
men. from distant parts of the world
would send the diamonds rough and
dull looking. just as they came from
the earth, to these dealers in Amster-
dam, and they would cut and polish
them, until they glowed and glittered
like balls of fire-then everyone
wanted them.

yeung, he was poor. Day after day
he would work for barely enough
money to clothe and feed himself.
He was a handsome young fellow In
those days and people wondered why
his uncle, who owned thousands and
thousands of guilders worth of prop
erty did not assist him.
"One day the most beautiful young
lady in the country happened to pass
the young fellow; and In passing, she
smiled at him. At once he fell in
love with her, and to tell the truth.
she with him. but the girls father
was a man who was anxious to see
his daughter marry man who had
plenty Of money. and he persuaded
her to marry man who Gas he said)
could buy her silks and diamonds.
1T broke the young fellows heart,
and soon after when his uncle died
and left him all of his wealth, includ-
ing the great mansion, he went to live
there as l have told you.
"One day, soon after the young fell
low had moved into the mansion, the
people of the neighborhood were sur
prised to see .he greatest sculptor in
the world go to tho gate and talk
earnestly with the young man for
some time. Then he took his depar-

covered with canvas. was delivered at
the gate.

der that they may witness the cere-
mony. the outdoor performance Of II
Is always preferred. Incidentally. II
may be mentioned that but few indeed
OF that mighty assemblage can hear
the Presidents address; but afterward
through the newspapers. the whole
land reads 1t.
Always. on March 4th, the incom-
ing and the retiring Presidents ride
to the Capitol from the White House
in an open carriage. escorted by a
guard OF honor. or course, a band
is playing merrily along before them.
The new President sits on the left
side of the rear seat aud the old
one beside him on the right. In the
ride back from the Capitol this order
Is reversed.
After the ceremonies at the Capitol
the great pageant of the Inaugural
Parade starts up Pennsylvania Ave-
nue., past the White House, then ira
versing certain side-streets and dis
banding. 1t is display well worth
seeing. In line of march are num-
berless companies of United States
soldiers, from all branches of the
Army; sailors from the battleships;
cadets from West Point and Annap-
oils; representations of the National
Guard from every State in the Union;
and large number OF 'marching
clubs" composed of civilians from
the various States. The President and
his of cial party review the monster
parade-numbering over 10000 mon
from a beautifully decorated re-
viewing stand directly in front of the
White House.

Ia EXT Tuesday, Woodrow Wilson.
Governor of New Jersey, will
be inaugurated as President of
y - the United States and Governor
Marshall, of Indiana, as the Vice
President. This inauguration will
differ from those that have gone be-
fore In several respects. To begin
with, this is the first time in the his
tory of the country that the Chief
Executive and the Vice-President were
both Governors of States at the time
of their election to their respective
offices. Both men step down from
their Governors chairs to take up
their broader duties.
Again, President Wilson has
reverted to the days of the long ago
in asking that no Inaugural Ball be
held on the evening of March Fourth.
And, furthermore, add to this the fact
that several thousand suffragettes will
parade along historic Pennsylvania
Avenue on the afternoon of March
3rd-and you have an Inauguration
that differs indeed from those of the
pastl
AS with so many things. the weather
plays an important part in theinaugu-
ration of a President of the United
States. If next Tuesday be clear. Mr..
Wilson will take the oath of office on
the broad steps of the east front of
the Capitol. But If. as is generally the
case. 1t is raining or showing so hard
that no man would be safe in expos
ing himself to the elements on the
outside platform, then the ceremony
will be performed in the u. s. Senate.
For months and months the question
of changing the date of Inauguration
to a season of the year when more
element weather may be expected
has been agitated. But, so far. moth
ing definite has been accomplished.
At the last Inauguration-when
Taft and Sherman were inducted into
office, the day was so stormy that
the ceremony had to be held in the
Senate Chamber. On the morning of
that Fourth of ,darch, 1909. both
House and Senate met hurriedly and
adopted resolutions to that effect. Mr..
Taft and then-President Roosevelt, af-
ter reaching the Capitol from the
White House, were escorted to the
Presidents Room in the big building
and at the same time the two Vice
Presidents were escorted to the room
reserved for the Second in Com
mand." While waiting for the cere-
monies to begin. they received many

THE WITCH AND THE FAIRY

AS the witch came riding by one DAY.
The toad prince grabbed her tight
And told her that he would millions
pay
If she would remove her blight.
So the wicked witch in her greed for
gold
Opened her pockets wide.
But when they were filled with all
they d hold
She began to slip and slide.
Down she slid on the rainbow. fiat
The prince laughed long and loud
And as for that horrid. splitting cat
1t sailed away on a cloud.
And all the gold that the witch did
own
She lost it then and there.
The fairies all laughed to hear her
groan
As she looked for it everywhere.
But it was never found and lie. today
Where those who are good can find,
And if you'll but search in the proper
way
You'll see It if you're not blind.

and whenever the boys went to visit
them they were simply spoiled and
fed UP with good things to eat. Nat
urally, they just loved to go.
James had caused the uncle and
aunt so much worry on one OF his
visits that their parents decided he
should go only every other time. John
had been there alone on the most
recent visit and so now It was James
turn.
Well. on this day, both the boys
went down to the river. James went
in swimming but John took OF his
clothes and waded about near the
shore.
After they had been there awhile
Jerry South came along.
Say, James!" he called. "Your
mother wants you."
This Is john" James answered.

Jerry replied. "and I know you are

teFward, he can identify that voice If
II calls him by wire. He discovered
this ability to remember voices and
faces when boy and it has been a
great help to him all his life.
But, when he was a youngster, he
used 1t more to have fun with other
boys than anything else. In his home
town there were two boys who were
twins. They were also Mr.. South's
cousins. Now these youths were alb
solutely alike, in height, size, coloring
and voice that not even their own
family could tell them apart. Only
their mother and Jerry South knew
which was which," James. however,
was a little more clever than John
and also moro mischievous.
James was always getting into trou-
BILE at school because of his pranks
and was often told by the teacher
to "stay after all the other boys co."
On such days ne would be the quick

Ing that he had done nothing wrong,
would take his time about going.
And just when he would be ready to
leave the teacher would look up from
some work, see him, and remark
warningly, Remember James. I told
you to remain after school"
I'm not James," he would answer.

and the people talked about 1t great
deal. Tho diamond merchants con-
tinued to come and sell their gems
and though the young man grew old.
he still continued to buy them and
live all alone in the big house.
"One night flames were seen COM
ing through the roof of the mansion
and people gathered from every d.
rection to witness the sight and try
to save the building. They pounded
and pounded upon the gong and fin
ally some one tried to turn the handle
that opened the gate--it turned and
the gate opened.
"Then tho crowd surged through
the grounds that had been closed for
so many years and into the house.
In the grand .,arlor. on the sec-
ond floor, they found the old man.
There he stood. before a beautiful
statue of young woman. who ap-
peared SO lifelike in a magnificent
gown of silk. that people were as
tonished and at first thought It to
be alive.
Someone recognized the statue as
being that of the young lady that
had won the old mans heart in days
gone by. But that isn't the strangest
part OF 1t. The statue was simply
covered with the most magnificent
diamonds The most valuable of all,
were in the shape Of necklace that
encircled the neck of the statue. and
as the people advanced closer, the old
man suddenly grabbed the necklace
and threw it out of tho window where
1t fell into the waters of the dyke.
1t lies there today, Gretchen, for
no one has ever been able to ind 1t.
The mansion house burned down and
the old man who was taken sick.
said that he never wanted it rebuilt.
He gave all Cf his wealth to charity
and before his death, which occurred
soon after, said that whoever found
the necklace could have 1t. Many
have searched the waters around here
but 1t still remains to be found.
Probably, my dear those geese that
you see swimming out there are Just
above it," and rising from his seat.
Gretchen's father went into the mill.
And there Gretchen sat, thinking of
the strange story that had been told
her and wishing that she could nnd
the beautiful diamond necklace. that
she might sell 1t and with tho money
go to far or America with her father.
Then she rose. and going into the
house brought out piece Of bread
and began to feed the geese. How
tame and gentle they were. Even the
big drake came and ate from her
hands all knew her and were not
afraid.
Just the pure white little goose
came swimming toward her, cutting
through the water like knife and
eager to get Its share Of the bread
that was now almost gone. Gretchen
saved large piece for It and as the
beautiful ,ird drew near. reached out
her hand to .eed It. But something
caught her eye. : something that
cleaned ana glittered in the sunlight
like thousands Of points OF light.
And what do you suppose It was?
Why as surely as I'm telling you about
1t. It was the most beautiful diamond
necklace in the world and It hung

LITTLE GRETCHEN'S SURPRISE

@VERYBODY around the village
knew little Gretchen, and loved
her, too. She was a quiet. shy
little person. with the biggest
and bluest eyes that you ever saw.
and spent most of her time keeping
house. for her mamma had been
dead for, oh, ever so long, and Gret-
chen had to cook the meals and keep
the queer looking little Dutch cottage
neat and clean for her papa, who
ran the mill close by.
Gretchen and her papa were very.
very poor. Sometimes several days
would pass without people bringing
grain to the mill to be ground and
then, her papa, who was cripple,
would sit on the bench in front of the
mill and gaze sorrowfully out over the
zuyder Zee.
How Gretchen loved him! and how
she did wish that she could not only
keep the cottage as neat and clean
as new pin. but that she could do
something that would cause the wrin-
kles that showed so plainly on his
face, when worried, to go away and
never return.
And what stories her papa used to
tell her. 3tories of a far Off country
called America, where there was plen-
ty of work for those who wanted it,
and where people who were willing
ito work had all they wanted to eat.

Diamonds were to him, what every

Although the old man wanted
every diamond that he could get hold

the most attraction for him. The
dealers in Amsterdam knew this. and
knew that he would pay the very
highest prices for those that suited
him, and so whenever particularly

beautifully and then carry 1t out to
the strange old man and sell 1t.
