There lie great deal of pleasure ASSOC
ciated in the name Of the month of Mays
especially in that of its first day. Though
times and changes have done away with
nearly all the old customs which used to
be observed regarding. it. There still re-
mains sufficient interest to call for more
than a passing notice. May is par excel"
ence, the month of flowers. and the best
authorities copcede that the name was
derived from the Latin Maius.'a contrac-
ton of Magius, and in the original meant
the month of growth. The Romans just
before the First of May held season of
festivities devoted to Flora, the goddess
of flowers, and this custom seems to have
extended itself throughout most European
nations. of course being altered more or
less to suit their varied fancy. The old
English poets. noticeable Chaucer and
Shakespeare, have much to say on the
customs of May. and May day, as the frst
of that month was called. Other poets
have sung on the same theme, and none
more beautifully that our present Tenny-
son who in the May Queen" gives q
most lovely and touching picture of the
custom of electing the lovliest village
maiden to preside at the festival. In
the earlier English times it was the
custom for the youth and maidens to
start out before break of day and gather
flowers and hawthorn and other branches
and return early and decorate the door
posts and windows of their houses. A
May pole was erected in every village
and decorated with garlands. around which
the Joyous youths aud maiden's danced to
he music OF pipe and tabor. King
Henry VIII and his Queen, Catharine OF
Aragon are mentioned as having taken
part in May day festivities. accompanied
by their court Tho Puritaus stopped al
this when they came into power, aud the
customs though afterwards revived never
f3urished so much as before, In later
| days the Chimney sweeps of England
danced on May Day, decked out in finery
aud around movable May Pole in the
centre of which was a man called u ack
in the Green" Even this has degenerated
aud a very humorous description is to be
found iu sketches by Boz. by Dickens
Germany and France had their May
Day customs which differed but little ir
the main from those of England. Numer
GUS pretty traditions and associations have
been handed down. and some of them are
still INDUCED in, as the washing of the
face in May dow, the doing of which i'm
parts beauty to the maidens who perform
the operation. La England the hawthorn
blossoms are called May, from the fact OF
their being 10 bloom at this. season, and
being much used 10 the May decorations.

The first swindle through three card

c., R. I. & P. in Illinois in couple Of
years, was played Thursday night on a
German physician. from Lafayette, Ind.
who was on his way to Council Bluffs.
The game was started in the good old
fashioned way, by two cappers who go.
the doctor interested; then a fellow who
seemed to be half drunk, came in with his
monte, and there were two or three bets
on the turn-up card, which the doctor
won. So the victim was led on until he
put up $4,000 on a card, and lost, OF
course, This was just before the train
pulled into Bureau. The doctor saw no
more of the winner. and he said to the
cappers. who staid by him, that he
believed that the drunken chap was a
rascal. and he would speak to the conduc-
tor about the matter. The cappers. who
had also lost money on the game. told him
to let it go, that the fellow was drunk. and
and they would find him and get the
money. At the next station they left the
doctor to hunt through the cars for the
gamester, and were so long away that the
doctor finally spoke to Conductor Morgan
about his trouble-and all his suspicious
were confirmed His ticket for Council
