Altogether it is a spectacle to make
the little Annus Domini glad that in; is
on earth. i!e may get hard usage after
Hi. Hi' - ii y. • -.it hi-; i;.i! i.-itit>u is one
that he in remember as a "thing of
beauty and ;i joy forever."
It is not generally known that the
city of William l'enn~has a carnival
j on the Ist ot' each January that in cost
I and size excels even the famous Mardi
j 'Ji'js of New Orleans, but such is the
i fac,\ it I - called the shooters' parade,
| I.ast year there were over .I.UOO people
j in line a;i ! fully half a million looking
j on, and the affair promises to be big
ger this year than ever before. The
] expense runs into the hundreds of
thousands. Last year one costume cost
thousands. It biilunged to the captain
of one r ' tlie marching organizations
and was one that would have made
j Solomo green v,\ h envy. The train
to this costume was wide enough to
cover Philadelphia's chief street, and
was so heavy that it required 131
pages lo carry it. The train of the
captain of a rival organization was
almost :: ; elaborate and expensive.
Xot only so, tint these thousands of
yards of, dry goods consisted of the
finest fabrics, figured with dainty
roses and fringed with most delicate
trimmings. Then there were other
gettins fearful and wonderful to be
hold that would have gladdened the
eyes of the king of Siam or of the Lord
High Kingumdoodle of the island of
Woolimalo. There were Irish Indians,
German negroes and Yankee chinks.
There were knights and "white caps,"
queens and jesters, coons and court
iers. There were in line the Ilome
breakers* association, a Wyoming
Hayseeds' association, a Hardly Abie
association and a lied Carrot associa
tion. There was a Weary Willie band,
likewise a Trilby string band. There
were floats that told of the downfall
of Iz Durham, floats on the .Japs lick
ing the Russians, floats on pretty
much everything and.floats that were
on nothing much at all. All this was a
year ago, but it is being repeated with
additions and frills this year. If you
don't believe it visit Philadelphia and
see for yourself.
The Philadelphia shooters started
over a century ago. In the early days
they simply went to each other's
house, made speeches, recited bad po
etry. ate, drank, danced and were
merry. This they kept up ail Xew|
Year's day. They got the name of j
shooter* frntn the fact that they fired I
a volley before each door before enter
ing. They called it shooting the old
year out and the new year in. One
time they shot a man, but usually theyj
only shot holes in the Quaker stillness
of the place. Oradually the custom j
extended, until now they celebrate thej
oming of ill' novum annum all night
and march all the next day. They are
still called shooters. I lit in reality are
mo -fly ii t>' mors. The expenses are
bona" by the •arloits clubs and tisso
cfatl'inw and individual contributions,
II t "if; i acii week
In order that they may have a proper
carnival. Then the city offers prizes
for the best floats and maskers. The
112 parade, which is many miles in lengtf),
I is reviewed by the mayor, regular
; judges are appointed to make the
1 awards, and (lie tiling is done up on
business principles. The whole city
takes n pride in the event. Even the
statues of Father Penn and Benjamin
Franklin have kindly twinkles in their
eyes.
The citizens predict that this will
grow to be one of the most famous car
nivals in the land. They even have
hopes that it may become a national
institution. Some of the old fellows
grumble, it is true, that the shooters'
j calls in the early days were better than
j these expensive affairs. They say, "We
I spent 50 cents and had §5 worth of
fun, while you spend SSOO and have no
fun at all." But there are always
fault finders.
There have been mummers in all
ages. They were in Babylon. They
danced before King Menes in Egypt.
They made merry in Troy before the
days when Agememnon and Achilles
quarreled over a girl outside the walls.
If there ever was a continent called
Atlantis they doubtless had rlproaring
times in the streets of its capitals.
Kings may come and kings may go,
but fun goes on forever. So long as
human nature loves mimicry, so long
as it delights in the fantastic and the
ridiculous, so long will the mummer
be in our midst. The day may come
when the last king shall have lost his
throne and when the only queens will
be those that men crown with their
love, but the kings and queens of tlio
carnival will still make their appear
ance to lead in the frolic. Empires
may pass, continents may sink in the
sea, but laughter and song, jollity and
happiness, mirth and love abide for
ever. They can no more be quenched
than the sunlight, no more lie stilled
than tlje murmur of the winds and the
streams, no more become stale by fre
quence than tlu> dawns and eves. So
the method of ushering in the New
Year that lias become the vogue ill Ihe
City of Brotherly Love is one that ap
r>-. 's in the human heart. Blow liini in
or. ":ii • ; of laughter and greet him
with i comic mask. He will see
enough of tragedy ere the procession
of the months has borne him away.
We shall see it also, and live it. Then
why not initiate the year with giadr
nessV Perhaps if we start it so some
of t'.ie joy may linger in our hearts.
Thi- New Year's day old Broad
street, Philadelphia, will be the wit
ness of a scene such as will gladden
the heart of little 1907. It is safe to
say that he will know no other like
welcome anywhere on earth. King
Mounts himself will give him royal es
cort. He will be accompanied on his
way by court chamberlains, by gor
-X'OU -I.\ bedight attendants and by in
numerable bands of music. He will be
cheered by the hundreds of thousands
that line the wide thoroughfare as
they strain at the ropes, swarm the
pavements, crowd at the windows and
perch on every point of vantage.
At N:"0 or soon thereafter a band
will blare up the street, followed by
the city police and dignitaries. Then
will follow marching clubs in robes so
splendid that they would eclipse the
liv ries of kings. Following these will
be other bands, living cartoons and
caricatures on wagons, giving a mimic
but grotesque history of the events of
the past year. There will be miles and
''''' ' l\j j
KINOS, QUEENS ANI> JESTERS,
miles of the marchers. Last year the
parade was ten miles long, and this
year it will be even longer. All day
long the maskers will be about tl
streets, weary, but happy. Everybody
will be la good humor, for h is not a !
guest come that never came before?
Other years there have bee:i an in- |
numerable caravan of them- ; n tact, j
reaching back into the mists of uati "is
and civilizations that are dead but
never this year- our year In the e."er
advancing Now. He is different. Let
its hope tint he will prove a little
greater ;i :« little better than asjy
that have preceded.
