NEW YEARS DAY
AND HOW OBSERVED.
.::..,.::.:..:.........:....:......:...:......


New Years day is the holiday that
all nations observe civilized or savage.
but IL falls upon a different date for
those who do not use the Christian
calendar Even the tribes in Central
Africa and the cannibals of the South
Sea islands celebrate with some cere-
mony the advent of a new year.
January l, now recognized az the be-
ginning Of a new year dates back 70
713 b. c., when the feast of Jonas was
substituted for the Jewish passover by
Numa. The passover which marks
the beginning Of the Jewish religious
year dates back TO 1871 B. G. From its
inauguration. down through the CEN
turtles the feast Of Janus (January u
has been recognized and celebrated by
all the ruling nations of the world. Its
religious significance as a feast Of the
circumcision OF Christ sanctihed Il
throughout the period Of Catholic as
tendency. In modern times this Is less,
dominant, especially in Protestant
countries where New Years Is kept
chiefly as a day of pleasure and feast

feasting. rejoicing and gift-making
Everyone makes gifts. The poorest

fish wrapped in paper tied with pc

ends with the feast Of poetry.
The Chinese New Year is a movable
feast because OF the difference in their
calendar and that used by tho Chris

which time no unnecessary Official
business is transacted. Generally the
holiday begins ten days before the New
Year and continues twenty days after.

Whistler Was a Dandy.

If taking infinite pains with his APP
pearance means dandyism. then Whis-
tier was a dandy. The very word
pleased him. and he used 1t often, in
American fashion, to express perfec-
ton or charm or beauty. Never was
any man more particular about his per-
son and his dress. He was as careful
of his hair as n woman. though there
was no need of the curling tongs with
which he has been reproached; the diff
ficulty was to restrain his curls and
keep them in order. The white lock
gave just the right touch. However
fashion changed. he always wore the
mustache and little imperial which
other West Point men of his genera
ton retained through life. Even his
thick. bushy eyebrows were trained.
and they added to the humorous or
sardonic expression Of the deep blue
eyes from which many shrank.-Pen-
nell's Life of Whistler"

A movement is on foot among the
business men of Lake Linden which

an effort TO secure the erection Of a

more easily reached from town. At
present the depot is about half a mile

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, June 6. -
W. R. Green, of Audubon, an anti
reciprocity Republican, was yesterday
elected congressman of the Ninth To-
wa district to succeed Walter |. Smith
who was recently given judicial ,ap-
pointment by President Taft. Prac-
tically complete returns give Green a
majority of twelve hundred over w
S. Cleveland, his Democratic oppon-
ent. Green stands opposed to recip-
rocity, while Cleveland is favorable
TO the agreement.
Cleveland cut down the majority
given Smith at the last election by
700 votes but the country vote is
strong enough for Green to give him
safe majority. Democratic leaders
declare the farmers opposed to re-
ciprocity are responsible for Cleve-
lands defeat.
