Representative Carlin, Mayor Fisher
and the city officials. clergymen, busi-
ness men and private citizens, IN
Guiding the scholars from the city
schools who were out in body. The
section Of the parade made up of the
pupils from the schools made a d.!
vision extending over four squares
IN length Flags were carried by
practically all in line and the process
sion made an imposing appearance.
The column was formed at the city
hall building and marched out north
Royal to King and up King to the

Artillery oand from the st. Asaph
military camp. Following the band
came troop Of buglers in charge Of

the exemption board, drafted men,

At the close, prizes were awarded

RILEY EASY TO UNDERSTAND
For That Reason There Is Glass
That Refuses to Recognize Him
as a Great Poet.

Widely enjoyed and beloved, the
poetry OF James Whitcomb Riley will
probably always in our lifetime en-
counter a species Of objections in the
minds Of many Americans. His poetry
sings. Its force Is emotional. Its
sincere charm is absolute, and de-
ponds not at all on being something
like something else-on the audiences
recollection of Greek verse, or ia
miliarity with Japanese art, or i'm
pressionistc landscape. To the kind
Of reader for whom a recognizable,
musical idea limits, instead Of greatly
liberating the communicative faculty
of poetry, to the kind of reader who
thinks Of poetry as q species of mere
tight-mouthed and cryptic prose, to
the kind of reader who is worried by
poets who will not give him, so to
speak, any reliable library references
for their inspiration-to such Ameri-
can readers as these James Whit
comb Riley's poetry must always
seem all wrong and misguided. Any
one can understand his songs. Peo-
pie have always been cutting them
out Of the newspapers and reciting
them at ice-cream sociables and
church benefits. They are a part of
the national consciousness.-Ne Re
public.

Tips Cost More Than the Hat.

Tips Cost More Than the Hat.
1t is probable that few men in New
York Of the great number who con-
stantly patrOnize hotels, restaurants
and theaters have any idea Of the sum
Of money they spend annually in tips.
The statement of the manager Of a
large New York hotel that q man Of
his acquaintance found that in Ave
months he paid So in tips for a hat
that had cost him 81 gives some idea
Of this drain upon the average mans
income.
So lucrative is the checking priyi-
lege in popular restaurants and SINH
lar places that the work Is frequently
let out by competitive bidding, without
expense to the proprietor. But the
public pays, as In everything else.
No man objects to tipping waiter
for good service while at table, but
that q boy or girl should get
quarter-and In many places less
sum stamps one a "piker"-for the
mere service of hanging up hat and
then handing it back when the check
is presented seems bit too much.
Maybe some day wise manager will
abolish this abuse and see that the
persons who come to his place get
proper service without the additional
tariff.-New York Telegram.
