He said he attended meeting of the

Fox was that he had an old grudge against
me- lie had been trying 10 Guido me for

Brother Fox was cunning, but I believe
they've quit that since the facts have come
to light. My experience with him is that
he is blessed with about as much sense as
a half-grown guinea pig. He's pretty

Now IL Is Lent .

February 27th was Ash Wednesday, It
is the first day Of the period
during which certain devotional
~ inclined young ladies cannot accept
your invitation to go to the theater, and
when she can't go to balls or do anything
that isn't strictly in keeping with Lenten
observances.
\ long time ago when there were no
dances or theaters or other costly and en-
joyable things for young people to re-
,frslin Irom, the people celebrated Ash
Wednesday in cock fighting. If the old
custom ctill obtained the young men ana
young ladies would go about IN what they
would call "clacking parties" and beat on
the doors of their friends houses, while
thew sang
"Herrings, white and red,
Ten p0nny Lenrs dead
Rise, dam and give an egg,
or else a piece of Bacon
one for Peter. two for Paul,
Three for Jack-a-Lents all.
Away, Lent away
This food was asked for themselves to
make merry with. on first coming to a
door they would strike up loud with their
song: "Herrngs. herrngs!' and as soon
as they received anything they commenced
the chorus:
Here sits a good wife,
Pray God save her life.
Set her upon a hod
And drive her to God"
II they received nothing after singing
their song they would fill the keyholes with
dust and sing this chorus defiantly:
Here sits a bad wife.
The devil take her life;
Set her upon swivel
And send her to the dwell"
The Jack-a-Lent alluded to was puppet
generally made Of straw, like the Holly
Boy and Ivy Girl. and not JACKIE Lantern.
Jack-a-Lent is now applied to scarescrows.
The principal aim of the people OF oiden
times seems to have been to eat enough

the reign of George l. was that during the
Icerstcn season an officer termed the
'king's cock GROWER crowed the hour
each night within the precincts of the
Dalace instead of calling ii out in the
ordinary manner of watchmen.
The old proverb says that wherever the
wind lies on Ash Wednesday il continues
during the whole of Lent.
