HE LIVES IN A GLASS HOUSE.
Since Our Friend" Spins Yarns We
Will Try It Too.

Since Our Friend Spins Yarns We
Will Try 1t Too
1t is said that our friend Johnston is
preparing for the stage, and that he
may be found several nights in the
week on the grass plat in front of the
soldiers monument in the city cemetery
about the bewitching hour of midnight
rehearsing Hamlet. We hope to have
the pleasure of seeing him crown him
self with lavrels or the opera house
stage within a short time. Mr.. John
ston does not believe that he was born
to vegetate in obscurity in a small place
like Kenosha.-DailvU Union.
"Our friend" WHO'S undoubtedly the
author of this kindly little attention
seems to be blissfully unaware of the
dangerous ground he is treading on.
He is evidently attempting to secure
some reply from the local editor of this
paper. If he is he can be accommo-
dated in manner not all TO bis liking.
There are hundreds of warns lying
about he has been spinning to all sorts
of people about his greatness" of
other days, which inevitably lead one
to think that " he was born to vegetate
in obscurity in a small place like Re-
nosha."
The yarns he spun to the members
of the William Owen company when
here will not be mentioned since they
are not now so easily proven. But
there are numberless ones about here
which are susceptible of immediate
proof to which that cigarette yarn
mentioned in the paper Thursday
evening is not circumstance.
One of these yarns he told certain
persons was that before he came to
Kenosha he was connected with the
| Times of Chicago. While
working there an emergency arose in
which that paper found itself without
managing editor and an assistant
managing editor. The management
was not disturbed over the circum-
stance in the least since it knew that
it had the material on hand with which
to competently fill the breach. Of
course, they naturally called on him
and he says he filled the two posi-
tons for six months. We have not
heard that be told why he quit at the
end of that period. The management
was apparently saving one mans sal
airy on him. We know enough of the
newspaper business to understand
that that yarn must be true. But then
we have higher authority for it than
any such knowledge, for "our friend"
himself says it is true.
This paper is not given to publish
ing such personalities since the public
is not much interested in such things
but if tour friend" desires to throw
stones we have amply prepared to show
just what kind of glass house he is
living in. We have an excellent fund
of these yarns. The next we may be
called upon to publish would concern
the terms of his intimacy with such
men as Opie P. Read, James Whitcomb
Riley, Eugene Field and a few others.
We have his unquestionable authority
for them all.

CHANGING THE CALENDAR.

How Our Aimanacs Are Kept In Accord
with the Clock In the Sky.
Jan. is not comparable Us public
holiday with Christmas as to the uni
versatility or antiquity of its observance
Before 1853 tho year began ON March
30. Tho change in the calendar was
made in that year for Great Britain by
al act of parliament, and we Inherited
the existing custom of marking the be-
ginning Of the year from tho mother
country. The day was not observed I'm
colonial times with the formality which
has marked it's observance in later years.
After tho colonies had adjusted business
affairs to the new date, the LIST Of Janu-
airy grew in importance and In course of
time became legal holiday.
An interesting incident of tho change
of the calendar in 1883 was the drop
ping of / days, between Sept . and
Ia, giving that month only 10 days, to
bring tho English into harmony with
tho Gregorian calendar. The omission
of the Il days attracted great interest,
and long notice Of the proposed innova-
ton was given in the newspapers of the
period, so that business affairs could be
accommodated to what was called the
new style. " Tho act of parliament cor,
reoting the calendar also ordained that
the years 1900. 1900, 2100, 1900, $500
or any hundredth year, except only
every fourth hundredth, shall not be
deemed leap years, but shall be consid-
cred common years of 800 days only and
that the years 1000, 2400, $500 and
every fourth hundredth shall be leap
years, consisting Of 388 days.
Every year whose number is divisible
by four is leap year, except only when
the number ends with 90, in which case
it is leap year only when the preceding
figures are diyisiblo by four. BY this
rule the year 1900 will not be leap
year, while the year 5000 will be. BY
this ingenious arrangement, says q
writer, "our almanaos arc kept in har
mony as nearly as may be with the great
clock of the skies, the only perfect time
piece. = Ah tho old colonial literature
for some time after tho change referred
to gave dates under both the old and
new styles to prevent confusion, --Phila-
delphia Ledger.

Rugs and Moving.

A certain man who owns row Of
dwelling houses over in tho northwest
quarter of tho town has learned wisdom
by bitter experience A friend Of mine
went to him not long ago to rent ono Of
tho houses
edo you lease it by tho month or by
tho Year," she inquired.
"That depends on what you are going
to have ON your floors, " answered the
landlord faro you going to have car
petsi"
"No," answered my friend; I'VE
have rugs.
you'll have to sign "a years lease
then" tho landlord made reply, smil-
ing craftily. IF you bought carpets and
had them fitted to tho floors, know
you'd stay in the house as long as you
could, but these rugs arc too easily nd
justed to any sized room. You'll have
to sign n years lease if you have rugs.
There arc seven houses in my row, and
six of them haven t kept tenant longer
than two years at u time for the last five
years Tho seventh house-well, the
people in il had carpets made and laid
for 1t five years ago, and they haven't
thought Of moving. Carpets, I'll rent
by tho month; rugs, years lease. -

NEW YEARS ABROAD.
How the American Citizen In Foreign
Lands Observes the Day.


Lands Observes the Day.
The "American abroad" sticks to the
old time observance Of New Years with
assiduity. This Is due probably more to
u desire to be in harmony with the Gus
toms Of the country Of his temporary
abode than to pay any special honor to
his native country. Tho American col
onies in London, Berlin and Paris make
the first day Of the year the occasion for
an elaborate interchange Of visits that
not only include Americans in the list,
but also all tho notable residents with
whom they may be ON calling terms. In
these capitals, Of course, utmost formal
tiles are observed, and the functions Of
the day, if zealously carried out, as
they generally are, call for a consider
able display Of Staying" qualities.
When the American ambassador keeps
open house, naturally the chief inter
est centers about his establishment.
When the patriotic and pleasant duty Of
visiting him has been accomplished,
then the people settle down to vigorous
pursuit Of each other, striving az far as
possible to be at two or more places at
once This is especially noticeable in
Paris, whore the American custom Is
modelled closely On that which obtains
in official circles. Paris gives itself up
completely to calls on this day and
they are regulated by the most exact
rules Of procedure. Every man is ex.
pected to call first on the superior next

THE NEW YEAR.

o bright new year with joyous mien,
With heart unknown to piercing woe,
Scatter abroad the gold of peace,
And hid the waves of pleasure flow
With rhythmic sound and trembling sheer
Through the channels of each soull
Command wars laundering voice to cease
Bid strong armed plenty freely dole
Comforts to man. Make Sol increase
The useful products of the green
Hush discord's voice that bringest forth
From fierce Pandora's box the ills
Unnumhered that with lightning speed
Deep rack the bosom of the earth,
Depopulato it habitahlo hills,
Poison its soothing streams and rills,
And to u desert change tho mead
Strike, too, the heart, deep down within.
O'erwhelm IL with disgust for sin.
Cause charity and love to reign
Triumphant Ger each hill and plain.
Crush Mammon's head, To God alone
Let alteration true be shown.
Then loudly do we sheut to thee,
Welcome, welcomed

neapolis and corps are here. Their
presence here is to make an accurate
survey of Big Stone and Traverse lakes,
also to survey the foot of Big Stone lake
for the proposed great dyke. An
accurate level will also be taken as.
Stunning given height of the dyke
at the foot of Big Stone and extend
ing that line through to tho foot OF
Lake Traverse. Thus with the survey
and level the amount of land necessa-
rily overflowed by any given height
of dam can be accurately ascertained.
The excavation necessary to complete
the canal connecting the two lakes will
also be computed The object of the
survey is to bring these lakes into the
reservoir system. This would make all
immense reservoir and would serve the
double purpose of relieving the Red
River Of the North of it's surplus water
and supplying the Mississippi with
water during the dry season. 1t would
also make water course of consider
able importance to Western Minnesota

THE TARIFF HEARINGS.

Much Interest Manifested and Many Del

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Much inter-
est is manifested in the tariff hearings
by the house ways and means commit
tee and the room is constantly thronged
with delegations and the representa-
tives of various trades. Owing to the
brief time allotted for hearings and the
desire of the committee as expressed by
Chairman Dingley to avoid unnecessary
repetltions, many Of those who appear
simply file their briefs and make no
oral arguments.
The schedules upon which hearings
were accorded during the day We're
those relating to chemicals and spirits
and wines. Without exception all who
appeared asked for an increase Of the
duties Oh the particular industry III
which they were interested.
