FORTY DAYS OF FASTING AND
PRAYING WILL BE CON-
MENCED MARCH 8.
Easter Sunday This Year Will Fall on
April 23-Soeiety One Week
Of Grace.
Of Grace.

Lent, this year, begins March s, and
Easter falls on Sunday, April %; so
society will have but one week for fes-
tivities before DOMINIC the gray garb.
Lent is a fast of 40 days, not includ-
ing Sundays. Beginning Ash Wednes-
day, it ends with the Saturday preced-
ing Easter. 1t is sometimes called the
quadrigesimal fast, and is made a
special season of self denial by the Ro-
man Catholic, Anglican and other
churches. Because of special penance
and prayer, Lent is pre- eminently the
season of spiritual revival in the
churches. Lent is supposed to have
it's origin in desire to concentrate the
40 days of fasting of the Savior in the
wilderness, and his temptation by ,Sa-
tan. At first it lasted only 40 hours,
the length of time Christ lay in the
grave. However, in time it developed
into a regularly prescribed fast, OBJ
served by Christians generally, it's du-
ration in the fifth or sixth century be-
Jig extended to SO days. Either Greg
DRY the Great, in the sixth century, or
Gregory II. in the eighth, added four
days to make out the forty.
A prominent divine once said that
one Of the most impressive features of
the great experience which the Len

itariness. Withdrawal from all COM
partnership and in the silence and lone
illness of the desert, tremendous temp
tations came and were resisted, afford
ing the first test of divine strength.
Ash Wednesday observance is of
solemn Importance, the day being given
up entirely to prayer. Elaborate SER
vices are carried out holy week, imme-
diately preceding Easter Palm Sun

Shoemakers Unite To Fight Tariff.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-For the first
time in the history of the trade, ~
tional association Of boot and shoe
manufacturers has been effected at
meeting at the Hotel Astor of repre-
sentatives from nearly all the shoe
manufacturers of the country. Previous
attempts to form an organization have
failed, chiefly, it is said, beause of the
jealousies. Today's success is as.
cribed to the fact that the manufacture
of boots and shoes has been rendered
Improbable by the increased cost Of
materials and by certain trade abuses
One of the chief purposes of the
organization is to secure the repeal Of
the duties on hides, put on, it is said
to protect the Armours. The duty
leading shoe men say, is proving iisas-
trous to the shoe industry.

ter-mile track on Ankeny field is to be
put in first-class condition in short
time The shape of the track will be

thirds.
Most of the best men, with the ex-
sception of Merritt, who were on the

can throw the discus some; John Ly-
man who Skinned the hurdles with
grace and speed; R. Fancher, a good
mile man, who won the long run in the
academy meet last year.
Besides these there is a bunch of
men of promise who were not in

the order Of the Chancellor. They
stated TO the counsel for the railroad
company that the foundations as now
placed We're not especially injurious
to the property owners, provided that
the masonry erected on the same is
not built in the same way. and that
they were going on the assumption

dations would drop back about two

preserved for these property owners

come known here that on a recent visit
to Washington. United States Senator
Alice. of Delaware. conhded to friends
that ]. Edward Addicks is down and
out"
This. coming from Addicks' former lieu
tenant and man who represents the
Union Republican organization, is taken
as authoritative and a sigh of relief has
zone up from Administration officials. who
have been confronted with Addicks at
every turn.
According to the statement that comes
from Senator Alice and other Union lead
ers, Mr.. Addicks carried his rule or
ruin" policy too far They will no longer
support the "Addicks or nobody policy
which resulted in the deadlock last winter
in the contest for United States Senator.
Democrats victory is staring the Repub-
Iicans in the face, and their only hope
is TO drop Addicks and Regular and
Union Republicans unite. It is said that
the whole Union organization has decided
TO hwitdraw it's support from Addicks and
his senatorial contest.
The elimination of Addicks from Della
ware politics will be welcomed by ma
tional leaders here. It is believed that
a Republican Legislature will be elected
in that state next year and the vacancy
caused by the Addicks deadlock will be
filled.

I'm other words, said a member of

would see q boat through a draw at
the risk of a section of the city being
burned down. our hose wagon got
over the structure safe enough and we
were about to follow with the steamer

Thousands Of people were attracted by
