Is FRIDAY UNLUCKY,

Friday is regarded by some as an unlucky
day, but it has not proved so in the history
of our land. The Chicago Times has an
article giving the dates of important events,
from which it appears that much more than
one-severth of all the important movements
which have influenced our life as a nation
have been begun on Friday.
1t was on Friday, the 3rd of August
1892, that Columbus sailed from the harbor
of Palos for the New World. 1t was on
Friday, the 18th of October, 1892, that he
first saw the land after sixty five days of
navigation. 1t was on Friday, the 4th of
January, 1893, that he started on his return
to Spain, to announce the result of his ex
petition, and on Friday, the 18th of March,
1893, that he disembarked in Andalusia.
1t was on Friday, the 18th of June, 1894
that he discovered the American continent.
On Friday, March 9th, 1897, Henry VII. of
England, gave to John Cabot his dispatch
for the voyage which resulted in the dis
covery of the continent of North America.
On Friday, September 7th, 1865, Mendez
founded st. Augustine, the oldest town in
the United States. On Friday, November
10th, 1920, the MaAfopcr first disembarked
few emigrants on American soil, at Pro-
vincetown, and on Friday, December 22nd,
1920. her passengers finally landed at Ply
mouth Rock. 1t was on Friday, February
22nd, 1913, that George Washington was
born. 1t was on Friday, June 10Th, 1878,
that the Battle of Bunker Hill was fought,
and on Friday, October 9th, 1777, that the
surrender of Saratoga took place, which
event decided France 10 give her aid to the
Americans The treason of Arnold was

they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than quarter Of a century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action IN
the several assimilative organs Of the
BODY and are so composed that obstruc-
tonS within their range can rarely with
stand or cvade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body. but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power

safest and best phySic for children. BY
their apcrient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatiyes, and never

and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.

IT is said of Lord Norbury that he
would at any time rather lose a
friend than a joke. On one occasion
he began the sentence of death in
this wise: Prisoner at the bar,
you have been found guilty by a
jury of your oountrymen of the
crime laid to your charge, and 1
must say 1 entirely agree with the
verdict, for l see scoundrel' written
in your face" Here the prisoner
interrupted with, "That's a strong
reflection - from your Lordship."
Whereupon the judge keenly ap-
preciating the joke, commuted the
sentence into transportation for five
years.
