will not be open today on account
OF our Christmas. Will be open Satur-
day"
Patrons of the Greek stores and
shoe-shining stands of the tri-cities en-
countered the above sign and locked
doors yesterday. Few, perhaps, under
stood why the Greeks celebrated their
Christmas yesterday.
The Greek Christmas occurs Dec.
25, the same as everybody else's, but
the trouble is with the Greek calender,
which is 10 days behind our calendar
In 1882 Pope Gregory XIII. corrected
the calendar, by ordering 10 days sup
pressed. The Julian calendar. which
had been in use up to this time, was
found to be that many days behind
on account Of making the year II
minutes and IA seconds too long.
Reject Gregorian Calendar.
The Christian world generally ADOPT
ed the Gregorian revised calendar, but
the Greek Catholic church refused 20
conform with the change. The Rus
SLAMS, Greeks and all the countries
now under the influence of the Greek
calendar, which has now become IS
days behind the Gregorian calendar
For this reason the Greek Christmas
day falls on Jan instead of Dec. 25.
By the year 21O0, the Greeks will lose
one additional day, making their
Christmas come on jan 8.
Serves Practical Purposes.
The Gregorian method of calcula-
ton is not exactly accurate, either,
since 1t exceeds the true solar year
by &c seconds. 1t is correct for all
practical purposes, however. since the
error only amounts to a day in 1923
years. 1t is perhaps unnecessary 70
make any formal provision against an
error which can only happen after 80
long time, but since 1923 differs lit
tie from 1000, it has been suggested
that the Gregorian calendar can be al
most perfect by making the year 1000
and all its multiples common years in
stead of leap years, thus correcting
the one-day error.
New Years Next.
A Greek bootblack. when asked the
reason for the discrepancy in the
dates of observing Christmas, was
rather hazy in his reply. He was Of
the opinion, however, that there is 10
days difference of time between
Greece and this country, all of which
is lost in coming here. Next Friday,
he said, will be celebrated as New
Years day.

ington. ARIADNE NOW EXPOSES BENEATH BRONZE STATUE
 OF GEN. PHIL. SHERIDAN,
ington.

Washington, Oct. 15.-The rising sun today revealed the now famous Barney statue clothed in a soft COW ering of morning dew-nothing more -reclining at the foot of the bronze likeness of General Phil Sheridan, the Civil war hero.
 Sheridan's horse, rearing upon it's hind legs, appeared to be shocked out of it's natural senses and intent upon getting the General away from such company as quickly as possible.
 The little General, however, seem ed to have the horse under perfect control.
 The nude Deserted Ariadne,'' was taken from her garden niche at mid night by sons of the Barney neigh bors and unceremoniously dragged in to Sheridan Circle where she was left without protection: Charles Onley. the Hindu butler in charge of the Barney place, with painful lack of ap- preciation for art, placed a blanket over the nude figure today after 70 crowd had gathered about it. In view of Mrs. Albert Clifford Barney's an ger over her daughters work of art Being draped, it is believed likely that Onley will have to turn over his joa to a more artistic servant.

BARNEY
 GIVES UP ART
 FOR HER CULT
Especial from United Press.)


 Paris, Oct. 15.-Miss Laura Barney, sculptress, whose statue, "The Desert ed Adriadne'' in the yard of her mothers home in Washington caused an international laugh because of the subsequently, denied report that the model was Miss Barney's sister, Ma ta1ie, has given up her art to devote the rest of her life to the spreading of Babism, a new Partisan religion, whose founder was killed 30 years ago.
 No more nude statues will come from her chisels to cause Washington ians to rubber neck" She will give according to Miss Barney, is not bas- ed on a personal God but upon first cause.''S It ascribes to the univer- sal being the attributes of mind and matter thought and extension
 The faith, according to statement made today by Miss Barney to the United Press correspondent, is rapidly spreading in Arabaia and Egypt and has many converts in America. It was in America that Miss Barney first became interested in the cult for which has abandoned her promising art career. So interested was she in the work that she went to Persia, where she remained three years study ing the language that she might delve of the sect Incidentally Miss Bar Aey took an active interest in woTn- ans suffrage in Persia and declares she took a leading part in the eman- cipation of the women in that coun- try She is now studying Arabian in order to study further the work of the rnystics of that country.
 Miss Barney declared today that in addition to her art and her religion she was writing a play based on the teachings of Babism. This play she hopes to give a premier performance in New York at some theatre. herself acting the role of heroine. For this she is especially well fitted, having studied acting from Lehargy, Mounet. Sully and Defaraudy, stars of the Comedie Franchise. She says she be- lieves she can reach more people from the stage than she can from the pull Dit and that if her acting proves sue cessfuI it will draw many who may be converted to Babism.
 Her play will soon be published in America, the contracts having already been signed.
 Miss Barney is the daughter of Mrs. Albert Clifford Barney, who, as Miss Pike, of Cincinnati, was the daughter of the millionaire owner of the P1ke Opera House. The Barneys and Pikes are prominently connected in Gin cinnati Columbus and Dayton, ohio, and are socially prominent in Wash

AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY
So Thinks At Least One TraveIin
 Man.


 I would as soon think of starting out without my mileage books and grip to start out on a trip without a box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in my va1ise, said a, travelling man who represents a St. Louis hardware house Why? Because I have to put up at all kinds of hotels and board ing houses. I have to eat good, bad the day and night and don't be- Heve any mans stomach will stand that sort of thing without protest, anyway I know mine won't It has to have something to break the fall and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the crutch I fall back on:
 My friends often josh" me about it, tell me I'm an easy mark for pat ent medicine fakers, that advertised medicines are humbugs, etc, but I notice that they are nearly always and poor digestion, while I can stand most any old kind of fare and feel good and ready for my work when 1t needs me, and I believe owe my good digestion and sound health to Dyspepsia Tablets, year in and year out and all the "joshing" in the world will never convince me to the contrary.
 I used to have heartburn about three times a day and a headache e after standing for this for four or i've years I began to look around for a crutch and found it when my doc tor told me the best investment would make would be a fifty cent box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and I have Sinvested about fifty cents a month for them ever since and when I stop to think that that is what I spend every day for cigars, feel like shaking hands with myself for I can keep my stomach and digestion in first clasA order for fifty cents a month. I don't care for any better life insurance
 My druggist tells me they are the most popular of all stomach nedi- cines and that they have maintained their popularity and success because they do as advertised. They bring results, and results are what count in a patent medicine as much as in sell ing barbwire

 The sentiment of the Street is to- day satisfied with what it thinks it sees in the trend of prediction indi- cations. Any result that would con- duce to allaying that species of agita- ton which has kept business unset tied and uncertain for the last few years would give capital a confidence that would utilize the improving na- turaI conditions to the fullest degree. It looks as if this influence might work to keep the market moving up- ward with only ordinary reactions.

While John A. Fox is expected 10
make the principal address, it is ex-
! pected that there will be an open
discussion on the subject of Missouri
River Improvement, and the benefit
to the reatnorthwest that will fol-
low it's improvement.
Captain l. p. Baker, who has al
ways been a prime mover for the
rivers improvement. said. in speaking
of the meeting yesterday:
Every part of the United States is
awakening to this most important
subject, and last December while in
Washington, l was very much i'm
pressed by the last regular meeting
of the congress which Mr.. Fox rep
resents.
There were over three thou md
men present from all over the coun-
try-north, east, south and west being
represented-and l regretted that
there we're not more of us from this
great region of the Missouri. Many
of the delegates came from cities
out on the Snake and Columbia, the
San Joaquin and the Sacramento out
on the Pacific coast, and many were
there from Texas, as we'll as from
the cities on the Mississippi river and
the Ohio. If we want to stand with
the other sections of the country and
share the improvements that are to
be done we must show our interest
by closer participation in this great
movement. Every city along the Mis-
souri, ought to be represented at the
congress next December so as to
show the country that we too are in
terested in the fight.

means of promulgating better under

petitioners signed without having the
right so to do. Some Of the best at
torneys in the state appear in this
litigation and an interesting argument
may be expected.
Also during the week the celebrated
Thirty per cent statute, will come
up from Cavalier county in an action
brought by County Judge H. E. Dor
val of Langdon against the county
auditor of that county. Judge Dorval
has held that responsible position in
Cavalier county ever since statehood,
running on the democratic ticket.
This particular year the democratic
brothers seemed to have been very
anxious to help our their republican
friends and Judge Dorval did not re-
ceive the necessary thirty per cent
vote as required by the statute.
Naturally he claims the entire prop
osition is illegal and void, and asks
that the section be annulled and that
his name appear on the official ballot
in November.
It is understood that the decision
in this case will also apply to some
of the legislative nominees and for
that reason considerable interest is
attached to the case.
On Friday the court will hear the
case of Baker VS.. city of La Moure,
and also State ex rel. Bithulithic Co.
VS.. officers of the city of Grand Forks.
Both are actions which test the le-
gality Of city warrants and directly
affect the rights of municipalities in
this state to proceed with public i'm
provements and issue warrants there
for.
From both the lawyers and lay
mans standpoint the proceedings in
the appellate tribunal of the state to
be held next week are perhaps as
interesting and important as any that
have some before them for some
time. =
The full bench will be present, and
it is the intention of the court to
determine the matters coming before
it as rapidly as is possible.
