Ha came In kingly splendor and remains to feast, to play, to dance, to hold court and to give bis most powerful aid to make happy all the people who have fathered to greet him. Preparations extensive and elaborate had been taken to make clear the way and Il luminate It quite gorgeously for the royal entry, which was all that loyal subjects could wish. In chariots electrically pro pelled and shining like huge meteors low ered from the kindly skies, the king and his queen and court came through the wide swung gatea and made a glad progress be tween massed multitudes of cheering, ex uberant subjects. No monarch of ancient barbaric days, or ruler of the present prosaic age, ever had such triumphal entry to a capitol city. Ak-Sar-Ben's own loving people gave him right royal welcome and made his majesty and hla entourage their own, with hand and heart. Inspired by the thrilling acclaim of the delighted populace, the court bard burst forth in song, when he had first caught his breath: , Court Bard Makes Rhyme. "Beneath the lights In Omaha proud knights discoursing stood, not of warlike work to come or former fields of blood, nor of the joy that tyrants feel when fear some serfs do bow: they waxed right gay for Ak-slxteen, a right good king, I trow; and ' ladles fair In throng's lines on his royal state did gaxe while he showered smilaa to right and left as In the storied days; the monarch was bereft of speech. but we saw hi fond eye thrill as he viewed the hosts so thickly massed where the bee hive crowns the hill; and tu rough the bias ing lanes of light, where dark was made like day, he moved anon and held his courae along the dazzling way; eke was he lad, and likewise stirred, and hla soul was elevated by the spectacle that caught hla view where hla playground la located. 'Horn by my beard, this Is quite rich,' whispered he to the royal ostrich; never king of ancient time or kinglet o'er the ocean 'saw half so grand a sight as this and it gives me deep emotion; of all the cities In my realm this Omaha Is first despite its reputation for encouraging thirst, and proclamation soon I'll make that all my knights shall marry merry maidens such as these who tempt me aoie to tarry; but first I'll tear the fences down that split it, mores the pity; for here's the place, by my own good grace, to hold the royal city.' " Parade la Monster Play. Small . wonder the bard was moved to woo ' the muae ere yet ha o,uenchtd his hunger, for each one of .Uie twenty floats that passed through the living lines of Ak- Sar-tttn'a devotees. In Its glow of electric light and (splendor, was a complete play In itself. The monster crowds, looking on aaw on each the story of some great economic subject, or of some big national topic clearly symbolised. Tha parade was designed In its entirety to represent the nat.onal administration Kvery department of government and every phase of politics had a pun In the spec tacle. . Tha string of floats were equally divided in two eecitone. The ship of state, sur mounted by a. miniature capitol building. led the first section. A powerful search light, fixed at the front of this float lighted the way ahead for the procession. The tltla of tha leading float of the sec ,' ond section was "Sameou's Quaint Quips,' and those wiicb. followed It carried scenes of a humorous character. ' The tecond flout was that of "Agricul ture." The goddeasea Ceres and Pomona, who are said to prmdo aver the industry of agriculture, were represented by huge Image.

Justice Moody Hands in His Resignation Presirknt Accepts Retiring Jurist Receives Full Pay of Active Mem ber of Supreme Court. BEVERLY, Mann., Oct 6 Associate Jus tice William II.

The president wrote to Justice Moody, who In at Magnolia, accepting the telgnation and expressing his high regard for the retlriDg Justice In retirement Jus tice Moody will receive full pay of ' an active member of the court, $12,txw a year. Justice Moody has been ill for more than a year.' Despite the fact that he had known for some time that Mr. Moody's retirement waa Inevitable the president said today that he had accepted the resignation with great reluctance. Mr. Taft holds Justice Moody In high re gard as a lawyer and Jurist and feels that he will be a great loss tu jhe supreme court bench.

Surety Company Must Pay Bond Supreme Court of South Dakota Decides Against Corporation that Tried to Escape Liability. PIERRE, S. D., Oct. B. (Special.) The supreme court today affirmed the lower court In the case of State against Western Surety company, which was up on appeal from Minnehaha county. It appears that one John Magnus was indicted on a charge of Illegal celling of liquor, and that he gave a "Western Surety company" bond for his appearance In circuit court to answer to the Indictment. When court convened Mag nut had evidently decided that the surety company was better able to stand the strain than he waa and he failed to show up In court, or anywhere else where he was known. The bond was de clared forfeited, and the company declined to pay on several ground, all of them more or less technical. The court holds that none of the technicalities can waive the provision of the bond, which said It waa given for the appearance of Magnus In court, and that the company must pay.

"Waffles" Caught in Trap Trying to Steal Corn V'Waffles" Is a pup who has lived four months In the north part of Omaha. He has a sate retreat under the kitchen porch used only for dire emergencies, but every time he sees a coffe pot he beats it for the back porch and shudders with sheer fright far ten minutes. "Waffles' " mis tress keeps chickens and feeds them shelled corn. She was disagreeably surprised a few days ago to find that Waffles, who. with utter disregard of all the precedents of pupdom likes corn himself, was driving the chickens away and eating up their din ner. Beating merely grieved him and had no effect on his appelate, so bis niistra decided to put the com in an old coffee pot and then ladle it out to the chantlrleei and cleareaaea by the handful. "Waff lea' watched from a distance. For a moment the guard was called away and the pup made a dash for the coffee pot.

Administration has Its 'glories and triumphs when the army is at peace, and the men who do this part of the busi ness are regarded, necessarily, as quite important" personages. In fact, to them the active field officers and the men give a confidence' that signifies they feel sure of the men attending to the details. To look at Captain W. L. Clarke of the signal corps, in his office, one would not pick him out as at all concerned with very large affairs. Yet he Is carrying quite some responsibility, and he holds as many offices as the Pooh Bah of the old opera. First, he is property officer, and then he Is constructing quartermaster. likewise, he Is post quartermaster, post commissary, post ordnance officer, and, lastly, post police officer Thus he Is a sort of general director, overseer and executive, all In one. j ' tA. That Captain Clarke has his hands full ioea without further specification. He has had to get to camp and In shape. to issue wjth precise expedition 250,000 pounds of hay, aiO.OW) pounds of oatM, 100 cords of wood and a hundred ana one other neces saries for a big herd of horses. As the men are cautioned not to drink the hydrant water on tap throughout the grounds, Clarke keeps three water wagons going all the time, from daylight to dark, bringing barrels of drinking water from the artesian well In Miller park. The troops like this water, and It eases the pressure on the doctors, as well aa avoid ing many a call on the medicine cheat. All the manure and garbage of the an must be kept cleaned' up and removed, and to this duty Captain Clarke also gives his attention. The City Garbage company does most of the hauling, but army auaistanc Is necessary where so large a body of troops and so many animals are concerned. Vast quantities of manure and garbage go to the city dumps from the camp each day, and the ramp Is clean always. To feed the thousands of men is some thing of a trick, but the army system en ables this tremendous chore to be handled without a hitch, For the number of troops i now at Fort Omaha, during a ten-day stay, 24,000 pounds of beef is required, a like quantity of flour and potatoes and 6,000 pounds of onions. Of tomatoes 1,600 cans are used, of sugar 5,000 pounds and of cof fee 2,000 pounds. Salt is consumed to the extent of 1,000 pounds and sixty pounds of pepper. The bakers use up 240 pounds of baking powder and SOtr cans of condensed milk are consumed. Of butter between 800 and 1,000 pounds Is required, supplied In tubs holding sixty to sixty-five pounds each, besides which the men of the various commands buy a great many pound pack ages. Bacon used runs to the weight of 5,000 pounds, and besides all this provender of the basic kind the men get beana, rice, prunes. Jam, apples and peaches fresh and evaporated, pickles, lard, syrup and every thing in fact that appetite craves or taste hankers for all from the commissary stores, either for ready cash or in ex- change for other rations. Rations coBt on the average 21.32 cents per day per man. Captain Clarke and his able assistants are kept from going to sleep without much trouble, but they show no signs of undue I worry, obliging They are ready courteoua and.j all day long, and even a prying newspaper man can get informing and of "the dav I. a innri hnnAh Af " to meet and It is true that the same thing can be said of Major Devore and his staff at camp headquarters, and of every other officer with whom anyone has-any real business.

The high officers and energetlo scouts of Ak-Sar-Ben XVI have from the very first taken particular pains to let the military visitors know that here la their real home and habitat Street car tickets have been provided liberally, and the uniform of Uncle Sam :ulmlts its wearers to tha king's highway. An officers' club has been opened at the fort, with all the necessary decorations and equipment to make men away from home feel that they are among friends and can be at ease and Joyfully sociable to their hearts' content Tho military men have not been slow to respond, and they are further pleased (Continued on Second Page.) for it, head first Rashly he leaped upon It and tried to reach the corn.
