General Lee asked me for was rations

Indie, charged with the killing Of
Jesse Burton, has been found
guilty and his punishment fixed at

Do tiumOr and Politics rlix2

Three days suficed to make J..
Adam Bede, congressman from
Minnesota, famous. On Wednes.
day few outside his own state knew
of his existence; on Thursday he
made funny speech in Congress.
On Saturday he appeared as the
star after-dinner performer at a
metropolitan dinner.
Mr.. Bede's success recalls the
flaming into fame of J. Proctor Knott
of Kentucky, who found the then
unknown name of Duluth in river
and harbor bill and praised it as
the zenith city of the unsalted
seas" in mock heroics never sur
passed. Knott became famous in a
week; Duluth, now thriving city
of 90, 900 people, is rather proud of
his sarcasm.
Does it pay in politics to be a
humorist? Knott was a man OF
ability, a Governor of Kentucky as
we'll as a congressman, yet is re-
membered by phrase. Sunset '
Cox, far above the average New
York representative of to-day,
never got credit for his ability be-
cause he was known as a funny
man. And even after death he lived

ed as to lure laughter-an ehgy

The inception Of [ ent.

The creator of Lent is supposed
to have been Pope Telesphorus,
who in A. D. $50 decreed that the
forty hours intervening between
the time of the crucl6xion and the
resurrection should be kept as a
rigid fast. As the teaching Of
Christianity progressed, by degrees
a longer season was observed, un-
til forty days came to be the accept.
ed period. Originally Lent began
on Sunday, but as the church ever
held that day to be festival it was
considered expedient to exclude the
Sabbaths, and this left but thirty
SIX days. AS the period was also
symbolical of the Savior's fast in
the wilderness full forty days were
required for its completion, so in
the fifth century the four days pre-
ceding the first Lenten Sunday
were added to fill out the requisite
number.
The chronology of Lent is de-
termined by the date upon which
Easter falls. Ash Wednesday be-
ing always the seventh Wednesday
before the resurrection day, and
may occur anywhere between Feb
ruary and March 9.
