From time immemorial Friday has been
frowped upon as day Of i'll omen. And
though this prejudice is less prevalent now
than it was of yore, when superstition had
general sway yet tRcrs are many, even IN
this matter of iaet.ags of ours. who would |
hesitate on a day inauspicious, TO begin an |
undertaking Of momentous import. How
many brave mariners, whose heart unquaeo
could meet the widest fury Of their ocean
home. would blanch to even bend their sails
ON Friday. But to show with how little rea-
son this feeling isindulged in, let Us note the
following facts in our own history as ma
tion. and we Americans have TO dread the
fatal day.
On Friday August Sd, 1892, Christopher
Columbus sailed on his great voyage Of dis
cosery. On Friday; October 18th, l4s2, he
first discovered land,
On Friday, 4th, of January, 1893, ne sail

On Friday, March 18th, l49s, he arrived
at Palos in safety.
On Friday November 2lst, 1882, he arrived
at Hispanioal, on his second voyage tosA Amer
lea.
On Friday March 5tk, 1495, Henry VII
Of England gave to John Csb.t his commits
sion, which led to the discovery Of Nortl
America. This was the first American Stat
paper in England.
On Friday September 9TH, 1865, Melende
founded St. Augustian, the Oldest settlement
in the United States by more than fort
years. nrfrrs-r Tsref 3
On Friday, November 10th, 1920, the Ma.
flower, with the Pilgrims, made the harhC
of Progneetown, and on the same day sigl
ed that august compact, the torerunner
our present Con titution.
Oh Friday, december 22d, 1920, tho P

Rock.
On Falay, Fobauary I'D, 1882 Geor
Washington, the father Of America freedo
was born.
On Friday, June 10th, 1775, Bunker Il
was seized and fortified.
On, Friday, October It'll, l777, the SURF
of Sarat. ga was made, which had such pc
err and influence inducing France to decli

On Friday, June 7th, 1776 the motion
Congress was made by John Adams, SCI
