THE MONTH OF MAY.

In the old calendar May was the third month of the year, till the calen- dar was reorganized by Julius Cassar. It is supposed to have been given it's name in honor of the Majores, as the senators were called in the original constitution of Rome. It is regarded throughout the whole extent of the northern temperate zone as the sweet est month of the year. Among the early Romans it's advent was cele- brated by the famous floral games, be- ginning on April o8, and lasting sev- eral days. And this custom has been perpetuated in Christian countries in May-day festivals and amusements. The month is specially dedicated to de- votions to the Blessed Virgin, and in Catholic churches throughout the world throngs may be seen every evening throughout the month offering up their silent prayers before the altar dec orated in honor of the Mother of Our Saviour.

MADE A TRADE.

Ezra Foote was engaged to be mar ried to a girl he had courted in the days before he came to Chicago from the little backwoods town in Indiana. The day had been set for the we'd ding, the guests invited and the pres ents were beginning to arrive. Ezra was to go back to Indiana for. the cer- emony and then he was to bring his bride to Chicago.
 @ But while ..Ez,'' as his boyhood friends called him, was climbing from porter to elevator man in a Chicago wholesale house, his younger brother, Eli had taken it into his head to fall in love with the fiancee. Shortly be- fore "Ez" was to go back to his na- tive town to get married the younger brother came to Chicago.
 Eli told "Ez" that he would .sort of like" to marry the girl himself and he wanted to know on what condition # any, the older brother would give her up. .'Ez'' thought it over for a minute and said, What will you give me?''
 All I've got beside my return tick ct home is quarter and q plug of chewing tobacco,'' faltered Eli
 Well, hand them over and go marry the girl. I'll try to get down to the wedding
 The girl was told of the trade that had been made. She said it didn't matter as far as she was concerned which one she married, and the wed- ding came off on schedule time. Ezra was there to kiss the bride and he still had part of the plug of tobacco left Chicago Chronicle

O. Leslie Wright, who was before the Greenwich borough court charged
 with assaulting a boy, said to the court: Il only slapped him as would baby. Whereupon Judge Burnes, addressing Wright, remarked: "So your idea of spanking a baby is to knock his teeth out, is it? Well, I'll nne you $5 and costs. s."-Hartford Post.
 Professor Eastman comes out of the East Cambridge court room vindi- cated man, but the vindication is said to have cost him $15,OOO. All this he would have saved if he had not fooled with an old pistol while engaged in the doubtful sport of shooting at a mark-and 1t, may be added that he would have saved the money if he had not manipulated the pistol so that it went off in his hands and killed his brother-in-law. Any man who kills another so carelessly gets off cheaply if it does not cost him more than $15,- 000.-Hartford Times.
 Minister Conger is making the mis- take that all our American diplomats, from the minister to Great Britain down to the humb1est member of the corps, are too apt to fall into. He is taking too much and writing too much for publication. Who ever heard of Lord Pauncefote, for instance, ever making an after dinner speech? It is just so with other foreign repre- sentatives. They have been trained to keep their mouths closed, unless at. the proper time and place, and they then know just what they desire to say. It would be a good thing if the state would issue a manual to our diplomats, the chief admonition in which would be to listen and let others talk and write. New Britain Herald.

There are breakers ahead of the Hanna boom for the republican presl- dential nomination, and they are re- publican breakers, too. With three years of pie distribution ahead, the average republican of prominence, doesn't care to risk his share by of- lending the chief distributor at this time. That is why the boom has not been publicly jumped on by more re- publicans. Privately prominent re- publieans do not hesitate to say that Mark Hanna has no better chances to become emperor of China, than he has to become president of the United Sates. They say the talk of Hanna's popularity with republicans through out the country. is precisely like that of his popularity with republican sen ators-confned to those who wish to use Hanna to pull the leg of the ad- ministration for fayors.

TUESDAY, MAY 14, 1901.

The question of free baths is up for timely discussion in many cities. In the best of our cities we are behind Europe in this particular. Germany was the first to provide free baths. Liverpool had the first inclosed free baths in 1S42. Almost every city in Great Brit ain has followed the example, France, Austria, Norway and Sweden maintain free baths. The movement spreads slowly with us. It is being recognized in large cities that there are thousands of families that cannot afford private batbs. while it is also recognized that the public health demands an oppor- tunity for bathing. In Chicago movement for free baths is gathering strength.
