THE MONTH OF JANUARY.

January was thus named by Numa
Pompilio, whose reign ended 672 h. G,
in honor of JAWS Latin "janva," a
door, the deity supposed to preside over
doors.
January first did not become the initial
day of the legal year in England until
1862.
According to "The Restitution of De-
cayed Intelligence" (Nerstegan, 1929, the
Saxons originally called this month
"Wof-monat" CWolf-month), because
people were wont always in that month
to be in danger TO be devoured
of wolves
Later it was called by the same people
"Aefter-Yule" (After Chrstmas).
o
Here are some quaint old English prov
erbs regarding January:
"If the grass grows in Jainveer
1t grows the worse fort all the year,
"a January spring
Is worth naethirg."
March in Janiveer.
January in March, / fear"
"If January calends be summerly gay,
Twill be wintry weather till the calends
of May"
1.-THE blackest month in all the year
Is the month of Janlveer."

much regretted by his Nevada friends.
No man in this state who knows Fitz-
gerald can for an instant believe that
he used undue influence to get a will
made in his favor. He is a sunny,
winsome man and hefrieDded Capron,
who i'll turn desired to show his ap-
probation. Years ago Judge Fitzger-

CECIL RHODES BURIAL PLACE.

In the AIatoppO Hills Of South Africa
and Commands n "World's View"
While some of the newspapers have
been busy of late in killing Mr.. Rhodes
we find from the Cape papers that Mn
Rhodes himself has selected his burial
place, reports the London News. 1t
is in the Matoppo hills, in the neigh
borhood! of his farm, that Mr.. Rhodes
desires Gin the fullness of time: to be
buried in tIhe solid rock. A special cor
respondent, who calls the spot "World's
View" thus describes the scenery:
At length we came to a halt and were
led through the bushes up enormous
slopes of solid granite on to the roof
of a rocky eminence. Here the worlds
view lay unfolded like a panorama be-
fore our gladdened eyes. There were
many travelled members in our party,
but not one of them could say that he
had ever seen anything like it. Here,
surely, we were gazing down upon one
of natures battle fields, the diseorded
scene of some tremendous conwulsfon,
in which Titanic forces had lifted the
biggest powders the mind can conceive
and tossed them to and fro like peb-
pies. AS Tar as the eye couiu ieaSh
stretched an ocean of granite moun-
tai1s, extending range beyond range
| to the horizon. Few people realize the
immensely of the Matoppos or the
beauty of the 'hillsides and valleys
where euphorbia, mahogany and mo.
pana trees and all sorts OF tropical
bushes flourish in glorious confusion
| and certainly no one can have any con
caption of the awe-inspiring grandeur
or the scenic splendor of this wondrouE
| natural panorama.

Mr.. Robert. Anderson, of London,
England, has recently returned from
the Kiondike, and is here, says an Otta-
wa (Ont) exchange, to obtain Lease of
a tract of land in the Klondike region,
which it is impossible to work by the
methods now employed there, and if
this is secured will mine the tract BY
hydraulic process. Speaking of the
Klondike. he said: II remained there
just SO days. There were 5000 or 5000
people at Dawson then. The best OF
order prevailed. In fact, it is the most
orderly frontier camp ever visited.
There are. large number of saloons
and dance halls at Dawson City, and
they are doing a fourishing business.
These afford the only means Of diver

spare time is spent there. a rum shop

ARRIVED SATURDAY IN LIT
 TILE ROCK.
V Be Granted Thirty-Day Furlough and will Then He Mustered
 Out.

The First Regiment of Arkan sas Volunteer Troops arrived in Little Rock Saturday at ? a. m. oyer the Little Rock & Memphis railway.
 The regiment w~s divided into five sections. The troops left Chickamauga Friday at noon and thelr journey was long and weary one. At Memphis they were forced to remain several hours and were not permitted to get out of the cars by quarantine officers.
 On account of the lateness oftheir arrival at Argenta, they remained Z in the cars all night and did not got into camp at Fort Logan H. Roots until Saturday after day light.
 The Regiment will remain in camp about week, and as soon as the papers are received from Wash ington, will be given 3O-day fur tough, after the expiration of which they will be formally and finally mustered out of service.
 A representative ot the Graphi spent Saturday in Little Rock and met and conyersed with a number of the troops, including several members of Company B Jefferson Feneibles) who are a part of the First Regiment. The boys look very well and we are inclined to be- lieye that many of the reports com ing from Chickamauga are greatly exaggerated. But we did not find one who was not reioiced tt getting home, and l. l.. nrttsess to say that they will not be anxious to yolun. teer again.

Y IS WELL WOODED AND PRESENTSI
AINe,NNNNNI>>t>eNAseNI

The country is well wooded, and presents Il scene of blending beauty and picturesque scenery around the lakes. Within three quarter of an hour buggy drive from Oconomo- woe is another little, odd resort named "GiffOrd's Villa, and this is where I am stopping; it is a very pretty hotel, built of an antique style, two stories high, with great advantages. overlooking Il lake as it does it gives the guests plenty of rowing. fishing, bathing and a re- freshing breeze at all times. Proceed a quarter of mile further, or an eight minutes walk, from Gifford's and will take you to one of the prettiest spots l have ever seen, and all visitors voice the same express sion when they3 visit therc--it is across narrow river called Oc0Ho- mowoc, which empties into the beau- tiful 0e0nOmoWoe lake, this is another lovely lake, and affords the same advantages that l described of the other two lakes. This is a place for the eonvalescent, a paradise to the infant, the suffering and the weak, 1t is named the "Waldheim Sanatorium, Etranslated into English means Forest Home"l Waldheim is siturned on the north shore of the picturesque Oconomo- woe lake on @ high hill. The drive to the hoase is a pleasant and inter- esting sight, as the sides of the road are arranged artistlcRlly by an ex- perieneed gardner, who is always busy nursing the flowers and beds. The building is built on the Queen Anne style, four stories high, with well ventilated rooms heated by all the modern Improvements; there is house physician, a matron and eight nurses, the matron has charge or the nurses, and to see that the patients are properly attended. Dr. J. H. Yoie, the owner and founder of this bealth-giving place, is affable and genial, and q gentleman; he has had remarkable cures at his place, and by nls energy has made q name for himself in the medical world; his place covers IT acres and all covered with different comforts to alleviate the sufferers, 1 might add that the county of Waukesha, in which Ocon- omowoc is situated, contains with in Its bounds, with easy access, 42 lakes.
 I hope I have made plain to you the beauty and elegance of this resort by my description. I will visit few days in Chicago and St. Louis and then I will proceed to the Hand Of the cotton and corn, and visit dear old Arkansas, and my home Pine Bluff, to greet once more my numerous friends. I am with best regards,
