MARCH

4" HE month of March is a sort of
meteorological political campaign.
= 1t is composed mostly of wind and
dust in the eyes.
March begins just after we have be-
come very tired of winter and continues
until we are heartily ashamed of orr
selves for having said anything against
January and February. It is cold. raw.
bleak, changeable, impetuous, clustering
and furious. Sometimes March warns
up and encourages the householder tn he
lieve that he can make his last WAGON
load of coal do until spring. But IT al
ways freezes up again, lust as he has
gotten down to the last busbel and
compels him TO chop up the laundry
bench and a few old chairs to escane
an Arctic demise.
March comes in like a lion and CON
tinues like a rhinOcerOus. a timber wolf
and an msurgent congressman. Existence
in March is further complicated bv Lent
which begins early in the month as
rule, and continues through it. During
Lent devOut people are supposed to sb7
stain from all earthly pleasures. But
no one keeps Lent half as devoutIv
as the month of March, itself
March was named for Mars. the god
of war and IS chip of the old block.
In its early history, it was afflicted
with Ides, one of which was fatal to
Julius Caesar but it has entirely re-
covered from them and is now uni1cum-
bered by holidays The presidents of the
United States are inaugurated on the
