Many hours of hard work are dona by
these faithful knights during tha entire
year and espeolally during tha few months
preceding the great annual occasion. As
soon as each annual festival has olusad
preparations sra mada for tha next one,
and tha working force la organised,
Ons thing whloh was don away with
this year was the huaUlng committee. It
had been the duty of this oernmltte to
get members to Join tha oourt. But th
fame of th splendor of th king's oourt
baa gone abroad in th land to suoh an
extent that tuts oo remittee was no longer
needed. Men now coma at their own ac
cord to have tha royal soeptor extended
to them and to b enrolled among tha loyal
knights.
J. D. Weaver, ( sometimes known as
'A. J. IjTHl
"Daddy." takes a prominent part in the
work at tha Den arranging for speakers,
helping out the ritual committee and doing
anything possible for stirring up Interest.
It waa ho who was press agent, advance
man and manager for "Professor Wllhelm
Laermaoher, eminent scientist and Inven
tor and builder of tha largest phonograph
In tho world, requiring two specially built
oars for its transportation." Professor
Laermaoher was at tha Dan on editors'
night, September I. Mr. Weaver also se
lects tha seventy-five horsemen and tha
hundred or mora knights In costume who
lids on tha floats in ths parades. These
hav to go through two rehearsals before
appearing In th parade.
Ous Rons Is considerably busier than th
traditional cranberry merchant daring th
actual week of the big festival, lie is a
busy man, also during the months pre
ceding when initiation Is going on and
when floats aro being built Ha has also
to build tha weird and fantastlo things

which are used f. initiating knights into
tha mysteries of AU-Sar-Ben.
A busy man, too, Is "Doo" Breed, the
carnival king. To him is assigned the
duty of arranging tha great festival which
dispenses "fun, sport and amusement" for
the thousands during ten days. Tha car
nival grounds occupy tha vacant lots at
Eighteenth and Douglas streets and por
tions of ths adjoining streets, all enclosed
by a fence and with a main entrance at
Seventeenth and Douglas streets.

In October, when It Is nearly time to start
on tha next ons, Conceaalons must be old
for all kinds of things from 'pink lemon

King Edward, while still prince of Wales,

the great duchy of Lancaater, which owns
forests and farms and great estats In thir
teen counties In England. King Edward
Is said to have Inherited tha Scotch proper

and another at Coburg and a villa at Baden-Baden.
He owns Sandrlngham, where
he prefers to reside, and also tha vast prop
erties attached to the duchy of Cornwall.
One source of his wealth Is called th
Nelld legacy, which was left to Quean Vic
toria In WZ by a famous miser, James
Nelld, This was about a million at th
Urn and is now supposed to have Increased
to a million and a half. Thus It is evident
that King Edward Is enormously wealthy.
Whan his privileges ara considered and hi
opportunities for making money In stock
are figured up. it is saay t sea that hi
majesty of England will probably die richer
than any American or ether Englishman,

matter of fact the king of England must
be considered ss wealthier than an Amer

has his money Invested all in real estate

Joseph wss in th second-story front room
of his home. He heard tha call of aima
companions on ths street below, and,
clambering Into a chair, ho leaned far out
on tha window sill to catch sight of them.
Happily, as it developed, a vender of
tomatoes was passing and had reached a
point directly beneath th window when
Joseph passed beyond th oanter of grav

Joseph did not hit tha sidewalk. H
landed with a Juicy red thud In th midst
of th rip tomatoes.
