January was named after Janus
B1frons, known as the politicians
A wave of prohibition
was sweeping Rome, and Bifrons, a
candidate for the senate, had to de-
clare himself one way Or the other
to every third man he met. But he
was a foxy Dago, and when he was

1t led from the Palestine to the Quiri-
nal Hill, and was closed only when
Rome was at peace with the world.
This occurred but four times-under
Numa, Augustus Caesar and Vespa-
tian, and after the first Pune war.
Julius Caesar kept the gate omen
wider than anybody. Just to satisfy

ever had anything on him in this re-
spect, he once drove twenty loads of
nay through the gate abreast. as
against a record of fourteen loads.

with one hand and at the passing
railroad construction crew with the
o%her, and exclaimed to his neuten-
ants, Behold, the day goes."
