Washington, March A. Woodrow
Wilson, as ex-president OF Princeton,
rode down Pennsylvania avenue to-
day, and later rode up the same ave-

and as the highest officer of govern
ment a few minutes thereafter re-
viewed the multitudes of soldiers and
civilians which, with playing bands
and flying flags, marched by to give
him proper official and personal honor.
For several nights Pennsylvania ave
nue. has been glory of light. Today
it was glory of color, movement and
music. There are 100000 inhabitants
of the city of Washington. It's tenn
porary population is nearer the half
million mark. The absentees from the
thanking lines of the parade were most
ly the policemen, who were given or
ders to protect the temporarily vacat-
ed residences of the capital.
Woodrow Wilson asked that "Jeffer-
sonian simplicity" be observed in all

that the American people love uni

can find a place within the limits of
democratic definition. 1t was a good
parade and a great occasion generally.
Thronas Vociferous With Joy.
The inhibition Of the inaugural ball
and of the planned public reception at

the attendance at this ceremony OF
changing presidents. Masses were here

The Wheelbarrow.

II you have occasion to use wheel
barrow. leave 1t, when you are through
with it, in front of the house with the
handles towards the door. A wheel
barrow is the most complicated thing
to fall over on the face of the earth
A man will fall over one when he
would never think of falling over any
thing else. He never knows when he
has got through falling over 1t, either;
for it will tangle his legs and his arms,
turn over with him and rear up in
front of him, and just as he pauses in
his profanity to congratulate himself,
1t takes a new turn, and scoops more
skin off of him, and he commences to
evolute anew, and bump himself on
fresh places. A man never ceases to
fall over a wheelbarrow until 1t turns
completely on Its back, or brings up
against something It cannot upset. II
is the most inoffensive looking object
there is, but 1t Is more dangerous
than locomotive, and no man is Sc.
cure with one unless he has q tight
hold on its handles, and 10 sitting
| down on something. A whee1barrow
has its uses, without doubt, but in its
leisure moments it is the great blight
ing curse con true dignity.-Jamea

TAFr's LAST DAY AS PRESIDENT.
Bids staff Farewell and Gives Formal
Welcome to Successor

ington.-President Taft's last
day in the White House was one Of
his busiest. AS working day it did
not last more than ten hours, but it
was crowded with unusual events, full
of incidents that fall to the man who
sits in the White House, and crowned
with pleasantries. The presidenx
shook hands with several hundred cit
liens and officials of the government;
received scores of kilograms from
friends all over the world; signed his
name to pile after pile of pictures and
letters, and held three receptions. He
quilted the room he has occupied for
four years in the executive offices
with smile and without a backward
glance, and with many a pleasant rec
objection Of the days he has spent
there. He met his old-time friends
Of the Washington diplomatic corps
and the justices of the supreme court
in the White House, and last of all
he gave the first formal welcome in
that mansion to the president-elect
and Mrs. Wilson.

sweaters and they were somewhat
noisy though perfectly proper. Stu
dents from seventeen other colleges
and universities were among the
marchers.
There was music enough for any
democratic occasion. The judicious
distribution of the bands prevented
the clashing Of tunes. There were
fifty bands in line, but only one Of
them, the Marine band, was allowed to
play hail to the Chief" tune which
every band on an occasion like this
hitherto has insisted on playing almost
necessarily. to the routing of every
thing else known to the composers Of
the past.
Spectators Cheer Constantly.
All along Pennsylvania avenue, from
the capitol to point four block be-
yond the White House, the spectators
were massed in lines ten deep. The
cheering was constant and Woodrow
Wilson cannot complain that the cere-
monies attending his induction into
office were not accompanied by ap-
parently heartfelt acclaim of the peo-
pie over whom he is to rule for at
least four years.
Every window IN every building on
Pennsylvania avenue which is not oc.
cupied for office purposes was rented
weeks ago for good round sum Of
money. Every room overlooking the
marching parade was taken by as
many spectators as cound find a want
age point from which to peer through
the window panes. The roofs Of the
buildings were covered with persons
willing to stand for hours in a March
day to see the wonders of the inaugu.
raj parade, and many of them partic-
ularly glad Of an opportunity to 20
home and to say that after many years
waiting they had seen a Democratic
president inaugurated.
The parade passed the reviewing
stand Of President Wilson, who stood
uncovered while the marchers saluted
When the last organization had
marched by dusk was coming down.
The hundreds of thousands of electric
lamps were lighted and Washington
at night became along its main thor
oughfare as bright as Washington al
day. The loss of the attraction of the
inaugural ball was compensated fol-
by the finest display of fireworks, It is
said. this city has ever known.

Parade a Monster Affair.
The military and the civil parade, a
huge affair which stretched its
length for miles along the Washington
streets, formed on the avenues radiat-
ing from the capitol. After Pres dent
elect Wilson had become President
Wilson and Vice President-e1ect Mar
shall had become Vice-President
Marshall, they went straightway from
the capitol to the White House and
thence shortly to the reviewing stand
in the park at the mansions front.
The parade, with Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood, United States army, as its
grand marshal, started from the CAPT
toll grounds to move along the avenue
to the White House, where 1t was to
pass In review. The trumpeter sound
ed forward march" at the instant the
signal was flashed from the White
house that in fifteen minutes the new
ly elected president and commander
in-chief of the armies and navies of
the United States would be ready to
review "his troops"
1t was thought that the parade might
lack some of the picturesque features
which particularly appealed to the
people on former occasions. There
were Indians and rough riders here
not only when Roosevelt was inaugu-
rated, but when he went out of office
and was succeeded by William H.
Taft. The parade, however. in honor
| of Mr.. Wilson seemed to be pictur-
esque enough in it's features to appeal
to the multitudes. They certainly
made noise enough over it.
The procession was in divisions,
with General Wood as the grand
marshal Of the whole affair and hav-
ing a place at its head. The display
in the words invariably used on like
occasions, was impressive and bril-.
liant"

The proposition to convey the re-

is opposed in Cuba, but the United
States will insist on carrying out the
terms of the treaty which the Cuban
senate refuses 20 act upon.
The troublesome questions which
have arisen are these:

action of congress-? This question is

begin work as scon as the contro-
yersy Is settled.
