disease that can be handled carelessly

since it is the genuine stuff, il should
be treated in the same careful manner

paper at least, and that it is what the

The News is Republican only when BY

East Grand Forks, Mimi, Dec. 10
Another chapter in the municipal
scandal was enacted late yesterday
when Deputy Sheriff Gonyea arrived
from Crookston with warrants for the
arrest of ten saloonkeepers, charged
with maintaining gambling devices, in
Guiding slot machines, and six. gam.
blers and six keepers of houses of Ill
fame.
The arrests were the result Of the
deliberations of the recent grand jury.
Last June all the saloonkeepers were
indicted by the grand jury, and when
they appeared before District Judge
Watts were let down easy with a s25
line, but were warned that if they
ever appeared before him again for
similar offense they would receive the
limit OF the law Consequently there
is general apprehension that some
prominent business men may be board
ed for time by the county.

Thousands this Christmastide will

so humble as to be born of a lowly
maiden, and yet so mighty as to be the.
pivot on whom the universe resolves,
and the Lord of All. Graded In
manger and wrapped in swaddling
slothes, He was yet worshiped by
sages and adored by angels. Sleeping
IN the crevice of the limestone rock.
He was yet bathed with the light of
heaven through the cleft in the mid

efable glory. He yelled His Deity in

Fargo, N. D., Dec. 17.-John Daniel
son of Minnesota lost a pocketbook
containing $3.50 check and 500 in
cash. 1t was found by Fred Knuth,
who did not report the matter and
came to Fargo. where he ordered 5000
worth of furniture and rendered the
check in payment. The firm tele.
phoned to Moorhead to see if the
check was good. and learned that it
had been lost. Knuth was arrested by
the local officials and turned over to
the Moorhead officers. He pleaded ig-
norance of the law in the matter, but
said he had made no effort to find the
rightful owner. nor to advertise the
check.

of the incarnation and its accompany

Not until the sixth century did lhe
church undertake to set forth author
itatively the year in which Jesus vas
born in Bethlehem" Then the work
was undertaken by Dionysius Exiguus.
Exiguus means little" but Dionysius
was little only in stature. In mental
ity he was giant. He was Scythian
by birth, one of race classed by It.
self in st. Paul's Technology: Greek,
Jew, Barbarian, Scythian, bond, free
(Col. iii:1D. It may be interesting to
note that the old name for the Irish,
Scuit, SCOTS, Scot, is derived from
Scythia, between which and Ireland
there was regular communication
early in A. D. No doubt the Irish
would be quite willing to claim such
6. noted scholar as kinsman. He
would be fit compatriot with the
celebrated Duns Scotus (from whom,
by the way, Ounce" is derived on
the law of contrarieties), the most
learned man of his day, and true
born Irishman. Dionysius, who was a
monk, was an expert mathematician,
and versed in astronomical knowledge.
The data on which he based his cal
culations led him to fix on the year OF
Rome 754 as that in which Christ was
born. This year, 754, he counted as
A. D. 1, the first year Of the Chris
tian era. This reckoning came grad
ually to be accepted and is still re-
tanned in use.
"The Star in the East" or, as it is
hem, that guided the Wise Men. or
Magi, to Jerusalem, afforded another
hem, that guided the wise men, or
basis for calculation. The celebrated
astronomer, Kepler, who flourished in
the end Of the sixteenth and beginning
Of the seventh century, found there
was conjunction of the three planets,
Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, in the sign
Pisces, which is the sign of Judea, In
"A. u. G. 748. This conjunction he as
sumed to be the Star Of Bethlehem.
and accordingly fixed the year Of
Christ's birth at the date Of the con-
junction. Other calculations on the
same basis followed by such astron-
omers as Ideler, Wieseler, Pritchard.
