Travellers Tales

The old editor from upstate was

Of the leading hotels. and was telling
Of his experience Of the long ago. He
had an earnest group OF listeners and
ne started off in this way:
THE worst scrape / ever got into on
account of an item was one that was
brought about by the simplest thing in
tho Nrd, We had reporter whose
business It was to go about the hotels
and pick up personals of people who
came into town from the nearby vii
lagos. Well here is one that he sent in
and which appeared in the paper:
John Moses, OF -, was in town
on pleasure and business trip yes
terday.'
mot a very thrilling item, was 1T?
Two days after the item appeared Mr..
Moses came into the office with blood
in his eye, and he glared at the man
aging editor and handed him che pa
per with lead pencil circle round the
aforesaid item.
What Internal fool put that inn,
said he, as he drew a frown that al
most concealed his eyes, and the edi-
tor asked what WAS the matter with ii
and the man with the paper said:
Well, you see was In town for the
purpose of burying my mother in law,
and while Of course that is business,
and possibly some pleasure, still just
didn't care to have IL go out over tho
state in that way. Why. the neighbors
blame me with paying to get it put in
of course there wasn't any explana-
ton we could make and that day he
stopped his paper and after his wife
got over jibtng him about it he came

Said one: "ws've heard OF foods that

And buried homes in water quite

So dry for weeks, received their care,
And soon the splashing water fell
Into each deep and empty we'll.
And pumps that oft were worked in

Now answered quickly, free as rain,
Till people drank double share,
While pots were boiling everywhere.
The bubbling kettle sang tune
That lifted every spirit soon,
And JOY was spread throughout the

In every district, up and down,
For homes were all with plenty stored
Until the rain OF autumn poured. -

JUNIOR
DESDEMoNA EXPLAINS DIVISION
OF MONTHS AND WANTS TO
EXCHANGE POSTALS TOO

Editor Junior:
In olden times the people had q
difficult question set before them.
Who could divide up the years into
months correctly. Romulus settled
this question for so great time, by
dividing the year into ten months, the
total length being 3O4 days. It IS UNI
known how he patched up the year
with odd days.
Numo Pompilius, not thinking this
was right tried to remedy the mis-
take of 81 days by adding two months
calling them January, after the god,
James, who presided over the Begin
ming of all things, and February, mean
ing to eXpiate. The sins were atoned
February became the last of months.
This still was not correct because It
correspondent with the revolution Of
the moon or 351 days, making the
year II days short. When the Re-
mans found one month had to be
changed, they hit upon February for
no reason, unless it being the month
Of the dead. All kinds Of clumsy ways
were prepared. none being correct.
Things became so bad that in julius
Caesars time the winters were in the
autumn and the autumns in the sum.
mers. So accordingly this great king
added two months between November
and December, making AS days. This
year was known as the year of con-
FUSION" and was certainly well named.
Afterwards he introduced the leap
year. After his death Augustus be-
came his successor.
August named after Augustus had
only 80 days. whereas July named
after julius. had 81 days. Augustus
did not like this so he tackled an extra
day on to August Thereafter Feb
ruary had 2s days in the ordinary year
and 20 in Leap Year.
The year was 1904 days, but the
suns revolution was II minutes and 10
seconds less. In the year 1852, it was
corrected making difference of ten
days. Pope Gregory decreed that
Oct. be Oct. Is. thus canceling the
error.
Russia still holds the old style.
There was an error still remaining
which pertained to the Leap Year.
Then Pope Gregory decreed that the
last year of the century, only those
which are divisible by 400 are the cor.
rect leap years. Thus the years
100. 1900 and 1900 were not leap
years.
