Not HaIley's Comet.

That the star of Bethlehem was not 4
miraculous heavenly guide but was only
the comet which now bears the name o.
Haley, was the declaration made frou
his pulpit today by Rev. n. f. Spicer Of
st. Paul's Universalist church. Mr.
Spicer employed arlthmetical compute.
ton in support of his contention that
the comet was due to appear at the time
the mysterious star guided the wise men
to the birthplace of Christ.
Bible students generally agree. accord
ing to Rev. Mr.. Spicer, that Jesus was
born four years before the time known
as the year l A. ID. Halley's comet is
seen regularly at periods from rs to 76
years. Figuring backward, the pastor
said that he had found that the comet
was due at the time of the birth of
Jesus.
It's movements, also, he declared, were
similar to the recorded movements of
the star of Bethlehem. 1t appears in
the east and moves in a southwark
course.
Rev. Spicer's opinion is all
right for theory, but his math-
ematics would seem to be some
what hazy. Christ was born,
according to his statement, which
is admittedly correct, 1914 years
ago. Taking IS years as the
periodic time of the comet, it
will be found that instead of be-
ing visible as the star of Bethle-
lem, it was 80 years past due, or
actually near the extreme point
of its course. If we make it's
period rs years, it was IA years
outward bound on it's long jour
ney through infinite space. Aver
aging its period at 754 years, the
celestial visitor had sailed away
26 years before the man of Gal
lice was born. Whatever may
have been the star of Bethlehem
that led the wise men on their
journey from the East until it
''stood over the place where the
child was" it is matthew atically
certain that it ,0as not Halley's
comet.

Last Saturday morning two young

themselves at home, showing them
the 1ce-box and other accessible
sources of food, departing shortly
after.
The girls continued to while away
the time until the front doorbell
rang and the grocer's boy delivered
number of packages, with the
word that the lady of the house
wished all packages placed in the
ice-box. Shortly after the doorbell
rang again, and another delivery
boy handed the girls a long oblong
box, containing pair of stays.
With full knowledge of the con-
tents of the package the girls con-
celved the mischievous idea of plac-
ing 1T also in the ice-box, but not
until they had inscribed across it's
length the words "For private use

greeted with owlish solemnity by

happening to glance within the ice
box, noticed the elongated package
reposing snugly in its cavernous re-
cesses. -gg

FIRST CHINESE DIVORCE
GRANTED IN UNITED STATES

Mrs. Josie Dung is divorced from
Qung Hung, the one wealthy resi-
dent of Denver's Chinatown. She
is probably the first Chinese divor-
Gee in the United States and one of
the very few of the slant-eyed
daughters of the celestial empire to
have her name enrolled in a divorce
court.
The ground for the divorce, that
Judge Allen gave her last week was
social ostracism. The customs of
her race require it. This cultured
educated woman was condemned as
a veritable pariah. There are two
children. Both parents want them
and at all accounts want them very
badly. Dung is one of the most re-
spected Chinese in Denver.
Mrs. Dung says her marriage was
arranged by her parents. They sold
her to Dung for $3.50. Eighteen
years ago she lived in San Fran
cisco. Lack of love. is given as the
grounds for divorce. He was 20
years her senior, she being but ID
years of age, while he was "a at
the time of her marriage. She
claims all he wanted her to do was
to work and further claims he has
wife in China to whom he sends
money annually.
Mrs. Dung claims that what little
money she obtained from him was
gotten by theft.
