GREETED the separation. She ascer-
tanned that her husband had gone to
st. Paul. With Carlo and a compan-
ion, she hurried there. She asked the
police to aid her in finding her hus-
band. A detective was detailed on the
case, and he and Mrs. Snyder searched
the city for two days without finding
any trace OF the missing man.
Almost despairing of ever finding
him, Mrs. Snyder, accompanied by her
dog, went for q walk. While passing
along one of the streets Of St. Paul
the dog suddenly gave q series of
yelps and started after a man who had
just turned into . nearby street. Mrs.

ed, in 1852, by all that portion of the
eivilzed world in communion with
the Roman Catholic organization, and
By some of the Protestant states. In
tAe year 1000 it was adopted by the
Kingdom of Scotland, under James vi,
who afterwards succeeded to the
throne of England also.
In England and her colonies it was
shferent. Among all the revolution
airy changes of the seventeenth CEN
tury the English held to their old ways
Of computing dates, just as they now
hold to their old ways of computing
money, Notwithstanding the whole
world is against them. Even the birth
Of George WashingtoninVi Virginia went
upon the public records as having
taken place February IL, 1881, instead
Of February %, 1892, as it was after
wards made to appear in it's correct
ed form. According to the Julian cal
sAdar at that time still in legal force
Ia the British possessions, the year
1892 did not begin until the following
2Sth of April, which would have been,
according to the Gregorian calendar,
the 9th day of May, the latter having
~ this time got IL days ahead Of the
former, by expunging the extra days
from the centennial leap years. In
ISL parliament enacted that the Greg
OriaR dates should be adopted the
next year, and since 1853 the people Of
Cnglish speech have been In accord
With the rest of Christian humanity
N this point.
Whether there were English cele-
hrations of the 1St of January before
IL came to be New Years day have
never ascertained, but have supposed
that it figured with the other IL DAYS
Of Yuletide without any special pre-
eminence except possibly from fits
being tho octave of Christmas. Since
it came to be recognized holiday,
subsequent to the reform Of the cslen-
aar. it has seemed in this country at
least to take its character from the
