A the eternal suggestion ot the rose Is love, so was the theme of this float love. Diamond's Prismatic Glories. Doves billed on either side of the bril liant car and so natural did they appear that their coos almost oould be heard. Little Dan Cupid? arrowed bow in hand, stood at the .front of the creation, his form balancing In the picture, the gigantic roses whoa vines twined every- where over the body of the car and the pair of great red hearts which adorned each side. To make the suggested story replete, Bomea and Juliet were here In livid reality, presenting the famous bal cony .scene In the greatest of ail love dreams. The most precious of Jewels formed the composition of the float which fol lowed the diamond and probably not a more glittering spectacle was In the parade. Under the Innumerable lights, of whioh the float practically was com posed, the prismatic colors of this gem flashed up Into the heavens, illuminat ing the stalart figure of Saturn that surmounted all. The diamond being dedicated to Saturday, Saturn, the ancient god ot agriculture and civiliza tion made the cynosure of the eye on the diamond float, while things sug gestive of April,, the diamond month, such as Easter lilies and furry rabbits, completed the beautiful adornment. All along the Una of march His Majesty's subjects loudly applauded this brust of varicolored flame In the galaxy of his cortege.

Major Wells Hawks, who was on Gen eral Stonewall Jackson's staff, told this story: In the early lays one of the Pilgrim Fathers was going out In the woods, car rying a gun. He met a man who said. "Where are ybu goingT "Out In the wooda " "Why do you carry your gun?" ' "I might meet an Indian." "I thought you were a Calvin! st -I am a 'CavlnlBt., : "Don't you believe you can't die till your time comes?" "I know I can't die till my time comes." "Then, why carry a gun?"
