SHORT STORIES
 OF THE DAY
Originated as a Holy Day

Shrove Tuesday. often called fasting tide or fastmas. is the seventh Tuesday before Easter and may fall on any Tuesday be- tween February 2 and March 8, says a writer in the Chicago Tribune. While the early penitential canons were in force, all adults were admonished to appear before the bishops and priests, that private pehe- tents might be shriven in private, a day being assigned on which they should re- ceive the eucharist and that public peni- tents might be instructed as to what they must do to receive forgiveness at Easter. This practice is alluded to in the Homliies of Aelfric, who lived in the tenth century, as being in vogue in England in his time. The practice of confession having been complied with on the eve of entering upon Lent, the people were indu1ged with per mission to engage in amusements and fes- tive celebrations the counterparts of which are still seen in the mardi gras of the French. pancake Tuesday of the Eng fish, and the carnival-carnovale, farewell to the hesh-of the Italians.
 An interesting custom at Rome on this day is the 'iAfocccolett pers-which takes place immediately after sunset. Peo- Pio III uie streets, balconies, WlnQ0WS anu carriages are provided with lighted tapers, and each endeavors, by ficking his hand kerchief, to extinguish the light of his neighbor, but to keep his own alive. The fun is fast and furious, and ends al mid night on Shrove Tuesday by the burning of colossal figure typifying the carnival. Chang ed From Fasting to Feasting
 It was in "Merrie England" however, that Shrovetide took on its most bolster ous forms. under the names of Pancake Tuesday. The association of the pancake with Shrove Tuesday is ancient, though why they were so allied is not quite clear. One writer claims that it was a survival of a heather custom, February having been called by the Saxons Pancake month be- cause, during it's course, pancakes were of- fered to the sun. A plausible explanation Is offered by certain Catholic ecclesiastic, who holds that as Lent was kept by strict abstinence from meat all through the forty days, 1t was the custom, to the end that nothing might be wasted, to use up all the drippings and lard by making pancakes the day before the fast began. To consume all this 1t was necessary to press into service all the prentice boys and others about the premises. These were bidden to the repast by bell called pancake bell. The shriving bell and pancake bell were ultimately merg- ed into one, and the former summons to fast became the summons to feast.

GLIDING a forceful arraig OF the
party OF Bryan, the address says:
The difficulties OF our external policy
were unforeseen, as their solution Is a.
presen, unrevesled. The evil of trusts
has no party pareutsRe, and will be
remedied by the com bined intelliRe nee
of our parties. Without N I'M mi zlp z the

caused that once great and powerful

ity describes the people OF Korea "a

pecially lucky IL they have Q son born
