Mexico now has another provisional
president in addition to it's regular
president, Mr.. Madero. The provisional
ruler is Emilio Vasquez Gomez. He has
been named as such by the followers of
the rebel chief. Orozeo. Incidentally,
1t seems that wherever there is a revo-
luton in the Latin-American republics,
there is always certain to be 4 member
of the Gomez family ready for such
presidential jobs as may be lying

A census bulletin shows that the
number of males 81 years of age and
over in the Continental United States
in 1910 was 26,S99,151, or 29.4 per
cent of the total population. The
number of males of voting age in

of the total population. OF the &C.

DRAMATIC EXPERIMENTS.
Optimism and hopeful suggestions
are the most cheerful assets of the
Drama League of Chicago. That this
body of play censcrs is perfectly salts
fed with itself and with it's accomplish
ments speaks enthusiastically for what
may be gained by next seasons de-
velopments. 1t is true that the public
does not always indorse the leagues
suggestions. 1t is also true that the
members of the league do not always
patron1ze the plays which the league
through its chosen censors applauds.
But these are mere details. The in
tention is good and undoubtedly the
general effect is wholesome. It is now
planned by the league to establish a
theater devoted to plays for children"
the contention being that children are
much more sensitive to impressions
than are their elders. Through the
children, it may be presumed the older
theater patrons will be educated. their
sensibilities quickened and their ap-
probation sharpened. At the theater,
at least, the child will be father to the
man. The idea MAJ or may not be
practicable. At least II will be worth
chicago seems ever willing to put up
for noble experiment. And the way
to improve the drama is to keep on
experimenting until experience brings
judgment and discretion.-San Fran

of this well known world are put for

and even the most money to seek vari-
ETY.. OF course their life doesn't seeml
the most onotonous to the casual
observer who must read as he runs.
but their kicking comes as evidence that
it is. 1t seems they see so much OF
the passing show that the whole thinS
bores them. Pursuit of pleasure, as a
steady job, seems to be about the hard
est graft, judging from the tired looks
of journeymen in that line. while for
the workers Is that variety which is
the spice of life. A man who has spent
eight or ten hours pushing a shovel or
a pen, is grateful for time to look up.
and see there are many other activities
around him. His pleasures are the real
thing, and the only time he is trou-
fbled with tired feeling is at night when
he wants to go to sleep, and in the
morning when he has to arise and for
get it.-Atchison Globe.

to be graduated from the state univer-

together probable that many of these

possible that there may be lands re-

persons holding lower numbers have

or numbers must, therefore. exercise
their own judgment as to the advisa-
bility of their going to Minot to make

The inference is that the 1, $50 numbers
called will take the 1882 claims, but
as a matter of fact it is doubtful if a

would. CHANCE CALENDAR
70 MAKE. EASY. CALCULATION

The revision Of the calendar has been
quite a number of times Ia the history
OF the world. but up to the present time
there has been no attempt to make q
logical arrangement of the days of the
week as we'll as the days of the month.
In order to make easy and instant
reckoning of the time, we should have
the year divided into months of exact
length: this cannot be done only in q
partial manner. and the following
method would after a very few days of
use make returning to the old method
impossible. as note the solution of the
problem below:
Take the present year for an example :
make no allowance for any leap year
nor the added day of the 29th of Febru-
airy, but begin the year with the day we
shall call New Year. Now the first day
OF the first month will be Tuesday and
II we adopt thirteen months in a year
instead OF twelve, the first day of each
succeeding month will also fall on q
Tuesday, throughout the whole year of
36s days. but this year having 366 days
the 18th month would have 20 days and
all the other preceding months will
only have 2S each.
Now the ordinary year will begin on
q day that will be one removed from
what it was the year preceding. If
Monday of the ordinary year be New
Year 9 as in the present arrangement,
1t will not be disarraneed by the new
arrangement; so we see that the first
day Of the first month and the first day
OF each succeeding month will always
be the same. thus making a very handy
arrangement and it will be only an
instant's time to commute without
tables what day of the week any given
day of any month will be, for the place
that a day occupies this month it will
occupy every month in the year and the
succeeding year it will be one day later
and SO on for all time except that on
leap year it will be two days later.
II this method was to be adopted the
months might be named anew in many
logical ways a few of which I will speak
Of.
The first month can be named first
which would be easy after that any
significant name might be adopted for
the succeeding months as might be de-
termined by leaving some of the old
names TO do duty, or name them all
with a Greek cognomen as a few are al
ready.
As to the grouping of the months into
seasons, that part of the subject needs
no discussion. for even with Our feast
and fast days of church and society OBJ
legation the world has nothing to do,
and. knows little and cares less; the
utility of the thing for business accord
ing to business needs is all that we
need to concern ourselves with now or
later.
In the new arrangement as soon as
the first day of the first month becomes
fixed in the mind the whole year is also
fixed even, the days of the month in
each week will be quickly remembered.
Note how easily you will be able to see
what any day of the month the week
day falls on vice versa.
For instance, the first day is Monday,
the 9Th is Monday the 18th, and
the 22nd, and then the 18th is Sunday
because the first of the month must be
Monday. Take a little leisure time and
discuss the feasibility and the utility
of the scheme and then tell your neigh
Dor and ad infantum.
