''The old woman who owned the

''The Good Book says 80. There

my friend.

own use parquet seats in any of the
Northern theatres.

o"h use paEqueG seats III apy Oh the
Northern theatres.
Occasionally white man is secured
to buy them for him. In more than
one instance this has been the re-
suit:
When the colored men presents his
tickets at the door the coupons are
torn of by the doorman and presented
to the head asher. In readiness for
such an emergency the head usher has
couple Of seats in the parquet pre-
pared. he leads the way to these
seats, turns them down, and waits g
moment for the colored people to take
these seets. They sit down, only to
find that the seats give way beneath
them. The usher is surprised aud
extremely sorry. He cannot under
stand now such break could have
been overlooked. OF course it will
be impossible to fix them in time to
have them occupied at the perform
ance. If the ticket holder will come
TO the ticket Office he will try to ex-
change the tickets for others equally
as good.
The doorman has already notified
the box Office what is going on, and
when the usher and the colored man
inquire there they are told, with great
regret, that there is not single par
quet seat remaining. The box Office
will be glad to return the money paid
for the seats or it will do the best it
oan-furnish couple Of seats in the
top gallery and return the difference
in the price of the seats.
1t is hard to see any great difference
between this procedure and that en-
p)oyed in the South.
Even the various sporting clubs
which are organized for the purpose
of giving boxing matches in North
ern cities practically refuse to put on
fights in which negroes are matched
against white men. And in this case
the cclored fighters have seen 6t to
threaten retaliatory measures. Only
few weeks ago the managers Of ell
the important boxing clubs in Chi
oago received letters from local firm
of colored attorneys to the following
effect
"At present you are discriminating
against colored boxers. AS you are
we'll aware your shows are in violation
of the State law and are only allowed
by the city authorities as conces-
sion. This IS to notify you that in
case colored boxers are Disseminated
against in the future Z. would not be
surprising if an injunction was asked
for restraining you and all other man
ayers guilty Of discrimination Srom
giving boxing matches in the State of
illinois,"
The managers Of the boxing clubs
were prompt to answer that they did
not draw the colo2 line and would be
glad to put on colored boxers when
suitable matches, promising profitable
results, could be arranged. It now
remains to be seen what further ac-
tion will be taken in the premises, as
it is not at all likely that the policy
of the clubs will be actually changed
in this respect.

HISTORY OF LEAP YEAR.
First Extra Day in February Added by Jra-
1ius Caesar.

with the calendar, he fixed the rota.
tion Of the 31-day months somewhat
which accounts fer both December
and January having the came num-
Der.
But these same pontiffs, when they
put the calendar before the public,
fixed leap year every three instead Of
every four years. This gave them one
day extra in II years-a smart trick
for them. This error continued until
8 B. c., when Augustus said there
wouldn't be any leap year for IL years
cnore--which made the first leap year
A. D. in the year /.
But these IL minutes and few Sec
.onds had to be figured in somewhere.
Matters ran alorg, however, for 1900
years before things were 80 out of
joint that action was proposed. It
was discussed for 80 years then, and,
finally, in 612, Pope Gregory XIII or
dained that 10 days should be added
that being the difference in affairs.
He also ordained--that things might
stay right-that thereafter all fourth
years shon!d be leap years if divisible
by four, and that all century ending
years should be common years, unless
their first two figures should be di-
visible by four. This made 1900
common year, but 1000 will be leap
year. That allowed for those il min
utes and few aeconds, and it will be
centuries before things need adjust
ment again, SO slight is the variation
now, and SO closely does the Gregorian
calendar allow for the odd minu4es and
seconds.
All the Catholic countries adopted
the Gregorian style of calendar almost
at once, but the Protestant countries
would have nothing to do with it Cor
centuries. Anything from "that anti
Christ" was damp.oIe to them, and
they preferred tc carry on their reck-
onings in the same old way. Besides,
the ignorant peasants thought they
were being cheated out Of 10 days or
II days, as the case might be, and
they even rioted for them. England
did not adopt the Gregorian count un-
til 1852, when it also became current
in America. That is why, on dates Of
The: rsTiod, calculation must be made
for II days, for, as 1900 passed with
out leSp year, it made one necessary.
George Washington, for instance,
was born O.: February IL, "old style,"
but he is remembered on February %
now. Russia, Servia and all countries,
which have the Greek church never
have adopted it, and they are thus II
days of to this day.
That is the history and meaning of
leap year. What records there are of
the practice of lettirg women propose
then, are altogether too fimsy to reck-
on on at all. That is custom almost
too old to talk about it. It is current
almost everywhere, and it is merely
pretty sentiment. For. it is we'll
known fact that when a woman would
propose, she does it in any old year,
and if she wants man and is smart
girl, she will get him if she has to
make him propose himself, in case she
doesn't want to--for any woman can
mako any man ask her for herself if
she half tries.-Kanas City Journal.

Neither generally needs or even wants
a drink. But the man who offers 1t
wants to show that he Is generous. He
takes this method of proving that he lie
