also been made that it would make

Opposition to the plan was led by

prolonged the days session for more

that the 10 per cent payment would
do nothing toward solving the syndi-

 OBrien decided that the Civil and World war veterans were monopoliz- ing the spotlight with their proces- sions and pageantry, SO he set out to commemorate the courage of the northwestern Indian fighters by holding an annual one-man parade in full regalia-
 On yearly occasions of state O'Brien donned his blue uniform, covered with decorations and topped by a slouch hat garnished with pea cock feathers.
 Thousands of people turned out to see him ride astride his white horse, with a pillow attached to his saddle for comfort. But the cost Of pag- eantry badly bent his little fortune, the product principally of his pen sion as a one-time member of the Second Infantry. Now he has an nounced that he will enter the Old Soldiers home at Orting, Wash. The day ot the one-man parade, even for the glory Of the days of Indian fighting, he says, is now a hing of the past.

RELIED DONKEYS DRAW
 CAUDY SICILIAN CARTS
The More Decorated Is Outfit the More Work Can Re
 Accomplished.

Bagheria, Sicily, Nov. IS OP) - The gaudier plumes one puts on donkey's head the more bells one can string on his harness, and the gayer the painted cart he drawAthe more work he will do. That is the theory Sicilian farmers have worked on for centuries.
 Red and blue are the favored hues for the donkey's headgear. If his owner is fairly well 10 do he will bcstow on his dumb friend an- other set of plumes, rising on rod fixed in the center of the saddle. The bells are put wherever they will jingle. When a whole column Of donkeys thus equipped starts for market the effect is that of an old fashioned sleighing party back in America.
 ! But the carts the donkeys draw
 are giddier still. In bright reds, vel lows and blues. all the history or the New Testament, the island of Sicily and the House of Savoy are depicted on the sides and tail
 boards. And if the owner be pros
 porous enough to add a few saints
 with glded halos to his car' B
 adornment he thinks 1t no nor" than fair that his heather partner,
 the donkey, should carry bit nor"
 of load.
