Gen. Grant looked worn and sad
as he drove to the Capitol, seated be-
side President johnson in an open Ian
deau drawn by four horses. He waved
his hand respectfully in acknowledge
ment Of cheers.
The war had lifted him from cord
wood peddler to the seat of Washington
and Lincoln.
Facing the great throng at the
Capitol, he drew the manuscript Of his
inaugural address from his pocket and
began to read with great elaboration.
The cheers were deafening.
His little daughter. Nellie, became
confused and frightened. She ran out
of the group on the platform and
clutched her fathers arm. He took her
hand in his and continued reading.
Thus they continued, hand in hand, for
few minutes until somebody brought
chair for her to sit down.
The inaugural ball was held that
night in the north wing OF the new
Treasury Building, just completed. the
capacity of the hall was greatly over,
taxed No adequate arrangements mao
been made for checking wraps.
1t was bitter cold outside in the early
hours of the morning When the crowd
began to leave they found they couldn
get their hats and coats. There was
stampede on the checking room.
Ladies' lost their escort. Horace Greeley
lost his white overcoat and tall SILK nat
and his corns were stamped on.
Gentlemen walked home bareheaded.
In dancing pumps. Some of them had
wrapped around their shoulders the
silk shawls of unknown ladies. when
garments were all they had been able
to Law their hands on In the tumult, .
Ladies. tired. confused and without
their escorts. sat on the ballroom noor
and wept. They couldn't go out wltnoue
their wraps Their gentlemen couion I
find them. Some still were sltting on
the floor, 1t is related, at 10 O'Clock the
next morning.
There followed succession OF Civil
War Presidents-Hayes, Garfield, Harri-
son, Mckinley.
Their old regiments came back to
Washington to escort them from the
Capitol to the White House. Tne M
augurals were OF the same type as sn :ss :,
of Grant, but there was increasing
splendor and larger crowds.
A great historical pageant accom-
panied the inauguration Of Garfield,
rnarred by a snowstorm. When he
completed his address he folded his old
mother, In her black silk dress, In his
arms and kissed her.
There we're 100000 visitors in WASH

urated. For the first time since the

Roosevelt. In addition to the regular
Army escort there we're militia regi-
merlts from all the Eastern States. Their
ranks were filled with veterans of
the Spanish War. Rough Riders, cow

practically a replica of this occasion
four years later when William Howard
Tart succeeded to the presidency.

The river of time was flowing placidly
through green pastures and drowsy vii
lagos in the Spring of 1912, when with
colorful military pageantry, the college
professor and political liberal. Woodrow
Wilson. was inaugurated President Of
the United States.
The German Kaiser, dolled I'D to
represent the white knight. Parsifal,
was curling his fierce mustache while
his heart swelled with pride as he
watched his gorgously uniformed regi-
ments housekeeping on the Potsdam
parade grounds. In England, France,
Germany, Austria, Rumania, Serbia,
Italy, Bulgaria. Canada and Australia
the country folks were feasting and
dancing, marrying and dying. with no
vision of what lay ahead Thousands
of Schoolboys were nodding over their
books in thousands of American towns
and villages.
Two years later the river of time
was boiling over the rapids Of the
greatest war in history.
The murdered Austrian archduke.
Francis Ferdinand. was leading into the
great shadows the souls of millions
slain on muddy battlefields from the
Marine to the Carpatians. Woodrow
Wilson came to his second inaugural
in 1915. the voice of the idealism of
the world.
Yet another year the schoolboys Of
1912 were crawling on their stomachs
through shell-stripped forests between
the Marine and the Moselle or grinning
at the mist-wreathed moon with bullet
torn dead faces while mothers and
sisters across the ocean waited in tor
ture of suspense for letters from them.
Time swept past the rapids of war,
through barren country at first but
finally once again into fertile fields and
growing towns. Woodrow Wilson died,
his dreams frustrated and his ideals
shattered.
Through the simple, unpretentious
inaugurations OF Harding and Coolidge
the pageant of history proceeded,
Each was attended with its human in
cidents.
Harding, the editor printer, opened
the Bible as u by accident and his
lips rested on the words Of the prophet
Micah, which he repeated in voice
which will linger long in the memories
of all who heard him:
Whatsoever more shall the Lord ask
Of man than that he act justly, and
love mercy. and walk humbly in the
ways Of his God"
