FEBRUARY JARED BADLY
AT HANDS OF THE ROMANS

The month OF February is upon US
February was one OF the months. Janu-
airy being the other introduced into the
Roman calendar by Numa POmpillus
when he extended the year 70 twelve
monthly periods. The name came from
the word 'februare." meaning to ex-
plate. TO purify. and arose from the
practice of religious expiation and puri-
ficatiOn which took place at this time
Of the year among the Romans. Numa
arranged that IL should have only TWEEN
ty-nine days, except in leap years, when
it should have thirty. But when Au-
gustus Caesar chose 10 add a thirty-hrst
day 10 August, that the month he had
named after himself might not lack the
dignity enjoyed by six other months In
In the year. he took a day from Febrli-
airy. thus reducing II 10 twenty eight
days in all ordinary years.
In a later arrangement OF the calen-
dar, 1t being necessary to drop a day
out of each century. excepting those of
which the ordinary number could be
divided by four. il again fell 20 the lot
OF February 20 be the sufferer. and be
deprived of its twenty ninth day for all
such years, and so Il befell IN 1900 and
1890, as II VIII IN 200. 1900. GOO. etc

Invitations to weddings in Wales are

of the bride-to-be bid her friends to
the ceremony, they bid them not to
come empty handed. The cards say:
Whatever donations you may be
pleased to bestow will be thankfully
repaid whenever called for on a SINH
lar occasion. The parents of the bride
and bridegroom-elect desire that all
gifts due to them will be returned to
them on the above date and will be

her at her home here, when he admin

faithful churchwoman and kept her al
legiance to the church as sacred duty.
Her daughters and their husbands vii

it in an abandoned camp for a few
days. The way the deer was caught
was rather peculiar.
They chased him in the snow and
the foolish deer, instead of running
away. ran to a %trainload of logs and
stood with his head sticking under the
logs between two cars. Like the

Mrs. Jane Louise Mandel, a relative
of the famous confedg'ate general
Robert b. Lee, and a confederate nurse
during the entire Civil war, died yes
terday morning at $3.50 o'clock at
Mercy hospital, says the Denver Re
publican.
Mrs. Mandel had one of the most in,
teresting lives of any of the western
pioneers. She was a citizen OF Lara
mic, Wyo., and was brought to Denver
two weeks ago by her daughters, Mrs.
William 'Lasher and Mrs. C. II. Hop,
kins.
Death was due to kidney trouble
from which Mrs. Mandel has been a suf
ferer for several years. She was 60
years of age when she died. The body
is now at Horan's undertaking parlors,
and the funeral will be held Thursday
morning.
Well Connected Family.
Mrs. Manders family was one of the
best connected of the south. She was
a F. F. V. several times over, and a
granddaughter of a former lean Of
Durham, England.
When the Civil war broke out, she
was only is years of age, but imbued
with all the fire of patriotism that
made her ancestors and connections
soldiers, she entered the confederate
army as a nurse during the first few
months, and for the next four years
was always at the front, doing what she
could for the cause.
Married in This City.
In 1869, Mrs. Mandel came to the
Laramie plain, as desolate a country
at that time as she could find. There
she met Philip Mandel, for whom the
town of Mandel, Wyo., was named, and
the two were married. The marriage
occurred January A, 1871, the bride be
ing a widow named Alexander.
Mandel has a record as a pioneer as
interesting as his wife's. He preceded
her by several years, and was the
first to discover that cattle could re-
main out on the western plains all win
ter and come out fat in the spring. He
was teaming across the plains in the
autumn with oxen when he was over
taken by one of the fierce Wyoming
billiards.. Believing that his oxen
would die anyway, he turned them
loose, giving them a chance to live.
Next spring he found them on the
plains, sleek and fat. That was the be-
ginning of the cattle business on the
Laramie plains and Mandel was the
pioneer.
Buried This Morning.
Disagreements of late years caused
a separation of Mandel and his wife,
he paying her a fixed amount month
ly. For the past few years she has
been in poor health, and her daughters
hoped to prolong her life by giving her
the best medical attention.
DR.. c. P. Conroy was called to
treat her specially, but it was too late
at that time. The body will be taken
from Horan's undertaking parlors
Thursday morning at Sis O'Clock TO
Logan Avenue chapel where services
will be held. Interment will be at
Riverside.
