The familiar rule that leap year is
every calendar year with a number d.
visable by four will be broken in 1900,
which fact need not be regarded as an
indication that even then it will be time
for change. This rule of the almanac
may account for the proverbial activ.
ity of the new woman at the close OF
every century. Then there is no leap
year for eight years. February 1900,
will have but twenty-eight days, the
extra day not appearing from 1896 to
1904. Centenary years are not leap
years. That rule will be broken in the
year 1000, when the interruption may
be regarded as an indication that it is
time for change. Centenary years
divisable by 400 are leap years, conse.
quently ahere were twenty'nino days
in February, 1900, and the same num-
Der of days will be given to February,
5000, and again to 2400. The object
of this rule is to make the calendar
year coincide with the solar year, says
an exchange.

out in relief the clusters of pure white
plum blossoms, as they. grow in the
land of sunshine. There are, also,
nightingales on the vas, and the proxl'
nifty of the songsters to their favorite
flowers is of beautiful significance.

GOOD ROADS NOTES.
Roads Need Constant Care.

A road is miserable just after ordi-
nary repairs are made on it; then it
becomes passable, and, finally, per-
haps, good for time. After that it
deteriorates till it is wretched again,
and the process is repeated. By re-
pairing road annually, or at long
periods, it is strictly good at no time:
It needs system Of constant care and

WAR NEWS.
You Can Get the Latest in the
Appeal"

The Wa with Spain has begun and
people hing TO secure the latest news
can get i through the APPEAL. We
have arranged for the latest intelligence
from the front and furthermore the
APPEAL is now prepared to furnish the
premium ever offered to the
puddle. Every new subscriber to The
APPEAL, paying a dollar in advance and
furnishing a photograph, will receive
free of charge one crayon portrait, a l6N2o
bust. The APPEAL has made arrange
ments with the Transatlantic Company
pa Washington street, Chicago to de-
liver these pictures. YOu may ask how
such a picture and the paper can be
furnished for one dollar. 1t is easily eN-
planned. The one dollar secures the sub
scriber for one month, and the publisher
takes the chances that the subscriber will
continue through the war at least, and
probably a good deal longer.
Everyone paying a dollar Will get a
crayon portrait and if it IS not Satlsfac-
tory, they can refuse the portrait and get
their dollar refunded.

CARD FROM SHORTRIDGE.
He Replies to his Brothers
Traducers.

Ed. APpEAL:-The Examiner Of recent
date charges that my brother, Samuel
Shortridge. has been engaged during the
past year in dispoiling me of my prop
erty real and personal. The whole thing
to me has a most ludricous aspect from
the simple fact that it is not necessary
for my brother Sam TO rob me OF my
property in order to get it, all that he
has to do is to intimate that he wants 1t,
and it is his. For the past twenty years
we have engaged in business transactions
between ourselves, amounting to several
hundred thousand dollars, and we
have seldom aiken the trouble to keep
even a memorandum of the transaction.
During the past year my brother had
occasion to have immediate use for quite
a large sum of money. He naturally
called on me for it, as | have done on
him many times before. l gave him a
full power of attorney to use my prop
erty as he saw fit and | gave it to him as
freely and as willingly and as gladly as
have often done before. Had he called
on anyone else | would nave felt agrieved
at the slight to me.
What the amount was or what he
wanted it for is not the business OF any
one outside his family and mine. 1t Is
quite possible that to-day he owes me
many thousands of dollars. 1t is still
possible and rather more probable that |
vs. him as much or more. To save our
eternal souls | cannot tell which way the
debt lies-I know he cannOt-and what is
more neither of us are losing the small
est fraction of good sleep over it. |
should not ever think of asking him for
the money unless l was in need Of ii, and
am not in need of it. If need it, | can
get it inside of thirty days and | consider
any money I loan the Hon. Samuel NJ
Shortridge, Just as good as if it was de
posted in my name in the Nevada Bank
and | don't charge the bank anything
for the advertisement either.
You. Mr.. Editor. know as we'll as any
one the relations of brotherly affection
existing between Sam and myself, close
ties never existed between two living
men. and know of no man living Of
dead. whom | love more tenderly or re-
gard more highly as the soul of honor
and square dealing than my brother San
ShOrtridg8 of San Francisco.
For some years past the Examine
people have been attempting to intro
luce a friction between the ShOrtrldg'
brothers. If they would devote tn
same time and effort to running decer
newspaper, as they have in attempting
run the Shortridge family they wOul
certainly spend their time to better &C
vantage and it might possibly improN
their newspaper.
