•Vi THE MellKMir PLAIKDEALER, MeBEXBY,ILL. r <* w oure How shopkeeping Wash­ ington evened up on cam­ paign expenses : : Com­ edy, Tragedy and Splendor have been mingled in this spectacular a ffair t RESIDENT WILSON called attention very widely In 1913 >9 the ancient and honorable custom of holding an inaugural ball to welcome the new president to his job by refusing to sanction the affair. And owing to "pressure of official business" there will be no inaugural ball this year of 151)17. In other words, American of­ ficialdom is lri.no inood for gayety. , The inaugural bail, says the Kansas City Star in a historical article, is not a state function, financed By the Naiion, as most of the s Nation believes. Undertaken at first as a wel­ come to the new president by Washington society It has become of late years the business venture by which Washington 'merchants recover the iboney they spend to hang the capital with bunting and hire bands and fireworks to make the occa­ sion lively. While the ball costs a large sum of money, the profit from the sale of tickets, priced nowadays at $5, is estimated at $20,000, and this profit is distributed among the men who sub­ scribed the funds to make the celebration a suc­ cess. But the inaugural bail does coit the Natiop something, because It discommodes whatever de­ partment of state lends its building for the fes­ tivities. Recent balls have been held in the pen­ sion building, and a vast deal of trouble and ex­ pense has gone into the organisation of their gayety. There has been balls in the past, like that state­ ly first ball that welcomed President Monroe, notable for the brilliance of the assemblages, the beauty and wit and fashion displayed, truly great socijd occasions, worthy of the dignity of the occa­ sion they celebrate. And there have been balls of which old timers, in Washington still talk. notable for the widespread inconvenience they have caused. For instance, there is the second Lincoln inauguration ball, when Horace Greeley lost his hat and standing on the steps of the treasury building put a curse on the city of Wash­ ington lurid enough to set Are to the snowdrifts that blanketed It; then there is the ball that wel­ comed President Grant, held in a vast pavilion of muslin, unheated, whose walls swayed to and fro in an icy blast that froze dainty ears and finger tips--yes. and noses--and put a damper on the merrymaking not to be forgotten. March 4, 1809, was the sort of chill, damp, un­ comfortable day Washington expects for the pres­ idential Inauguration, but in this year the incon­ veniences of bad weather in the new little capital were far worse than they could possibly be today. The sprawling, ragged, unfinished city had no pavements. Roads were so deep in mud that many a coach was mired as It carried its load of dis­ tinguished persons to witness the inaugural. There were few hotels and boarding houses, and these ' were crowded to suffocation on the great day. But the society of the capital and notables from far and near were determined to overcome all handicaps of weather, for this drear evening was to mark the first presidential inaugural ball. An organization of young men, the "Washington Dancing assembly," formed seven years before. had the affair in charge and had secured the as* sembly room of Long's hotef on Capitol hill. The "four hundred" in America originated with this first presidential ball. Washington society represented the best of the Nation. The Influence of the Southern families of aristocratic tradition was strong. There were few people of wealth, but many of culture; and society was gay without ostentation. The men of the dancing assembly who drew up the list of those who would be asked to buy tickets to the inaugural ball found that four hundred would Include all persons of breed­ ing and worth. » When George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were Inaugurated they were glad to go, early to bed after the day of ceremonies, but on this night ex-President Jefferson, personally opposed to os­ tentation, appeared in the ballroom promptly at seven o'clock, the time of its opening. He came smiling and happy, glad to see his friend Succeed him in the direction of the Nation, happy at hav­ ing the burden off his own shoulders, as he con­ fided to a friend during the evening. The orchestra played "Jefferson's March" as the ex-president entered. "Am I too early?" asked the great Democrat. "You must tell me how to behave, for It Is more than forty years since I have been to a ball." Soon after the musicians played "Madison's March," and the guests flocked about the door to. greet the new president, a slight, short figure of a man, whose gray hair was brush«*l smoothly back from his high forehead and tied with a black ribbon. His small hazel eyes were remarkable for a humorous twinkle, for Madison, in private life. enjoyed a good Joke and sprightly banter. His long, pendulous nose came low over a long upper •Hp. His teeth were noticeably white and even. The new president wore plain black, with ruffles at the throat and wrists, with black smalls and silk stockings. There were big silver buckles on his shoes. But it was to Dolly MadlsoVi. formerly the fas­ cinating Widow Todd of Philadelphia, that all eyes turnerl. The new mistress of the White House was a center of attraction wherever she went. Without great beauty of fa^» or figure, she had a manner which won friends instantly. Her reatf.v tact, her good humor, her vivacity, made her easily a social leader and the best-remembered and beloved of the many "first ladies." Mrs. Madison wore pale buff velvet made very plain, with a long train and no trhnmingn. H#r head was surmounted by a turban fi^om Paris of IVile buff velvet and white satin When America's first "four hundred" danced at the Madison ball the air of the assembly room be­ came very close and the guests finding they could not lower the window sashes broke the glass for ventilation. That Is the only recorded Inconveij- ience, aside from the universal inconvenience# mm i a n? these notables experienced in getting to Washing­ ton, but the balls held in later years made a less enviable record. Probably the ball held to cele­ brate thjp second Inauguration of President Lincoln was one of the most notable for the universal dis­ tress it caused. Mary Ciemmer Ames, In her book "Ten Years in Washington," says of this exciting carnival: "The air throughout the entire building was perforated with a fine dust, ground until you felt that you were taking in with every breath a myriad homeopathic doses of desiccated grind­ stone. The agonies of that ball can never be writ­ ten. Tl»ere are mortals dead In their graves be­ cause of it. There are mortals tflho still cum*, and swear, and sigh at the thought of it. There are diamonds, and pearls and precious gacments that are naught to their owners because of it. The scenes in those cloak and hat rooms can never be forgotten by any who \vitnessed them. The colored messengers, called from their posts in the treasury to do duty in these rooms, received hats and wraps with perfect facility, and tucked them in loopholes as It happ^ped. "But to give them back each to its owner, that was Impossible. Not half of thein could read numbers and those who could soon grew be­ wildered, overpowered, ill-tempered and Imperti­ nent under the hosts that advanced upon them for cloaks and hats. "Picture It! Six or more thousand people remained huddled In voluminous wrappings, look­ ing down upon the guests dancing in overcoats and wraps, dancing like mad in order to keep from freezing to death. The canary birds did not sing. They tucked their heads under their wings and shivered piti­ fully. The elaborate refreshments froze into blocks of Ice. The ball ended before midnight. The first Inaugural ball in the pension building was that held to honor President Cleveland's first Inauguration. The building was then unfinished and the courtyard was roofed by temporary con­ struction, elaborately decorated and lighted by the then new electric lamps. The ballroom floor *ras 310 by 110 feet, and It wn« crowded. The ticket sale for this ball brought In $40,000. It Is pleasanter to contemplate more recent in- augtiral balls. A notably brilliant ball was that which welcomed President McKinley. It was held In the pension building, and for that night the building was transformed by bunting of white and gold. • Not a particle of woodwork or original dec­ oration of, the building was left uncovered. - Elab­ orate electric lighting (elaborate for 1807) and a huge fpuntaln were notable features of this ball­ room. Judging* by contemporary accounts this bill was a complete success, socially and finan­ cially. Mrs. William' Howard Taft. in her charming book. "Recollections of Full Years." tells the story of the last inaugural ball. Mrs. Taft's account of clamoring for their clothes! In the end they were _Jio\v the Taft family moved Into the White House KNOW UTILE CARE SHANTY BOATMEN CERTAINLY LIVE A HAPPY LIFE. all tumbled out 'promiscuous* on the floor. Then came the siege! Few seized their own, but many snatched other people's garments--anything, some- , thing, to protect them from the pitiless morning, whose wind callie down like the bite of death. Delicate women, too sensitive to take the property of others, crouched in corners and wept on win­ dow ledges, and there the daylight found them. Carriages, also, had fled out of the scourging blast, and men and women who emerged from the mar­ ble halls, with very little to wear, found that they must 'foot It' to their habitations. One gentle­ man walked to Capitol hill, nearly two miles. In dancing' pumps and bareheaded; anbther per­ formed the same exploit wrapped in a lady's son- tag. "Poor Horace Greeley, after expending his wrath on the stairs and cursing Washington anew as a place that should be immediately blotted out of the utTivew. strode to his hotel hatless. The next day and the next week were consumed by people searching for their lost clothes, and Gen­ eral Chlpman says he still receives letters de­ manding articles lost at that Inauguration ball." One would suppose that the lesson of the Lin­ coln ball would have resulted In great reforms when the Inauguration bill, which welcomed Pres­ ident Grant, four years later, was held. One re­ form was notable, .a complete checking system for wraps was devised, but on this occasion not a guest parted with his wraps! They did not dare, for as It was. noses and ears were frozen. The Grant inaugural ball cost $60,000 and great things were expected of It. A pavilion 350 feet long, with a ballroom 300 by 100 feet, was built In Judiciary square. This pavilion was made of light boards, roofed with tar paper and sepled with pink and white muslin. "The mighty Ameri­ can eagle." to quote the official report, "spread his wings over the president's platform and from his pinions spread streamers 100 feet long, caught up on either side by coats of arms. The presi­ dent's reception platform was 60 feet long and 30 feet wide. Twelve pilasters supported alternate gold figured, red and blue stands, which held pots of blooming flowers. Platform and steps were richly carpeted and thousands of canary birds were placed toward the ceiling to add their chorus to the music. Tickets to this, magnificent enter­ tainment cost $20. Then came Inaugural day with a blizzard and cold wave so severe that marchers In the Inau­ gural procession dropped by the way. overcome by cold.! The north wind swooped down on the muslin palace and rattled Its flimsy grandeur un­ til the roof was swaybacked in one place and bal­ looned out In another, while the tar paper and loose boards roselnthe gusts and rattled down far and wide. President Grant recovered sufficiently from the exposure of the inauguration to spend a short time at the ball, arriving at 11 o'clock In the evening. He and his brilliant suite of gueRts; many of them foreign diplomats, and their brilliantly clad ladies. Is thoroughly captivating because of Its many bits of domestic color, bits that find an echo, In com-. ' mon experience everywhere. It was at the close of a very busy day that Mrs. Taft put herself into the hnnds of her nervous hairdresser and sat looking at her new ball gown, spread out on the bed. ,The ball gown had ar- ' rived at the very last minute and the new "first lady" had wondered for several anxious days what In the world she would wear to the ball If the dressmaker failed her. "It was made of heavy white satin which I had sent to Tokyo to have embroidered." writes Mrs. Taft. "and the people who did the work surely knew their art. A pattern of goldenrod was out­ lined by a silver thread and cleverly fitted Into the long lines of the gown, and no other trim­ mings had been used except some lace with which I the low-cut bodice was finished. It fitted me ad­ mirably and I hoped that. In spite of all the mta­ li a ps in my preparations. I looked my best as I descended from the White House automobile at the entrance of the pension office. "The pension office was not built for bolls. In­ augural or otherwise, and on the evening of March 4. 1900; after a day of melting sleet and snow, the entrance was not especially Inviting. Neither was the dressing room which had been assigned to me. I suppose that for years It had rung with the ceaseless click of scores of typewriters and that Its walls, had beheld no more elaborate cos­ tume than a business blouse and skirt since the occasion of the last inaugural ball which had marked the beginning of the second Roosevelt administration, four ypnrs before. But as I needed to io very little 'prinking' It really didn't matter and I quickly rejoined the president, and "pro­ ceeded on bis arm to the presidential box. this being a small round >gallery above the main en­ trance of the great ballroom, which Is Itself. In everyday life, the principal workroom of the pen­ sion office. "A brilliant, an almost kaleidoscopic, scene spread before us. The hall Is of tremendous pro­ portions. pillared with red marble and with walls tinted In the same color. Every Inch of floor space seemed to be occupied. The bright colors and the. gleam of women's gowns met and clashed or harmonized with the brighter colors of diplo­ matic uniforms. Officers of the army and navy in full regalia met "and mingled with the hundreds of men In the plain black of formal evening dress. It wns a wonderful, glittering throng, more mag­ nificent than any I had ever seen. It was not pos­ sible to distinguish Individuals except In the space directl^ below the box, but there, as I looked down, I saw a, great semicircle of faces--thousands. It seenied to me--smilingly upturned toward us. The din of human voices was terrific; even the loudest band procurable had difficulty In making Itself heard. But the scene was so gay In color, and the faces that gazed up at us were so friendly and happy that I felt elated and not at all over­ whelmed." Wilt Sometimes Work, Though Pleaa- im Is the Real Business of Exist* * enee--Wot Bothered About Rent or Taxes. If a man were privileged to' ehfcose his own manner of living, sorting over the whole collection of life's various forms of existence, and choosing the one he liked best, no matter what any body or everybody said, it is likely that in all that strange collection he could find nothing more charming than the life ef the shanty boatmtfh, remarks the Indianapolis News. The shanty boatman lives anywhere, according,to his inclination and the season. He lives, anyway, according to his de­ sires. It sets you dreaming of all the faraway places to think of him. He moors his little house on the cool northern streams In the summer, and drifts down the warm blue southern rivers during the winter. He Is not averse to a bit of work bow and then enough to keep him in coffee and ba con, but he can choose his work as he goes, and leave it when he grows tired of it. Work is his avocation, and, as an avocation, work is hot an unpleas ant thing. His real business is 11 v Ing, smoking, fishing, drifting. He pays neither rent nor taxes. He owns only a bit of an old shack, somehow made watertight and balanced so that it will float. It is even possible, yoto must understand, for him to enter into the life of city men, entering into It, however, with no sense of necessity or restraint. A shanty boatman was not so long ago a resident of this very town. With a proper sense of the fitness of things he tied his boat to a fence, in line with the houses on the shore and even painted a number over the front door It was a Jolly looking little home, with the smoke coming out of the pipe in the roof and lamplight shining from the edge of the curtains, and, for all we know, he may have a regular Job and have taken to city life very con­ tentedly for* a while. The advantage he had over the rest of us, of course, was that to get away to the faraway places, he had only to untie his boot and drift, accepting now and then bit of a lift from a friendly craft. The thing that is likely to bother us, however, in choosing this sort of ex­ istence, is the question as to, wheth­ er we should really be a shanty boat­ man, or Just pretend to be one, Steven­ son was a sort of shanty boatman. At least, he did drift about through the country in a boat, and lived very con tentedly and lazily on the way. But Stevenson has written a book about his wanderings, and he was not really shanty boatman at all. It is Just the difference you may suy, between art and vagrancy. Vagrancy has an Idle sound, and art is a tempting thing. The very point in being a shanty boat­ man, however, is in not having to try to be anything else, and, perhaps the best thiug about It is the fact that it Is so far removed from art as to be very nearly real.

NnL What k Uric cAcidf Everyone has uric acid in the system, but naturally in small quantities. Ex­ cessive amount is caused by eating too much meat and foods that ferment in Btomach. The kidneys, being the filters of the blood, are supposed to separate and throw the poisons out of the system. Weak, tired and overworked kidneys fail to do this, hence the uric acid accu­ mulates and the urate saita are carried by the blood to the solid tissue structure, causing backache, lumbago, rheuma­ tism, dropey, drowsiness, and tired feeling. To overcome the trouble ia only a matter of toning up the kidneys, and this Is best done by a treatment with Annric, three times a day. Anu.ic is a recent discovery of Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y., And can be obtained at any drug store. Experience taught Ik»ct<jr Pierce that Anunc is a more powerful agent than lithia in dissolving uric acid, and it ia then carried out of the system.
