KING FOR A DAY.
II Costs Leader of New Year "Shoot
ers" $1,000; He Thinks It's Worth II.

Il Costs Leader of New Year "Shoot-
ers" 81 900; He Thinks It's Worth II.
One thousand dollars to be king for
a day!
Men of little wealth spend that sum
for a few brief hours of glory in Phil
adelphia on New Years day, and the
next day they return to their work
entirely content. even though the saw
ings Of year have been swallowed
up in the process.
1t is for the celebration of New
Years day in the distinctively Quaker
City fashion, with the famous shoot
ers' parade, that the money Is In
vested, and the conditions that exist
there In the southern portion Of Phila-
delphia cannot be duplicated anywhere
else in the United States.
The captains Of the various clubs vie
with each other to such a point In the
contest for the handsome prizes that
the costumes which they wear repre-
sent bigger cash outlay than the cost
lest gowns worn by the queens of so
ciety at the opera.
In last years parade several Of the
captains wore robes that cost more
than thousand dollars. The train Of
one royal robe was so elaborate that It
required fifty pages to carry 1t. In
making the elaborate flowers that
adorned its velvet surface one woman
had been kept busy for an entire year.
Yet the man who for one brief day thus
donned the trappings Of royal station
was only a workingman.

The WHITE FLOWERS
OF JANUARY
By WILLIAM SHARP
The woodland ways were white;
the bOughs swung low
With weight of snow;
There was simmer of dancing
golden light,
And through the glow
The goddess Flora moved in
sudden flight.
But when she saw the dead
blooms everywhere
Laid low / the mold
Her sunny wings she did unfold.
Long did she brood amid that
woodland bare
And the blooms withered there.
Then with a smile she called the
SHOWS to her.
There was a stir,
A falling rustic, as when bird
wings whir
Allow i the thicketS in the twi-
light hour,
And, next, a glimmering shower.
Swift, mid the green gloom
fleCked with white, she fled,
But where each snowflake fell
There was a happy miracle
Dead pansies, wind flowers, vic.
let's, once more rose,
But now in white each petal did
disclose.

warned him to be more careful

some very abusive language.
Belcher, who conducts store

the trouble and Ross resented it
and demanded TO know what
he had to do with his business.
Several hot words followed
when Ross drew his gun, but
