How Our New Year Began.

The first of January and the New
Year are SO inseparably connected
today that one has almost to force
himself to realize that there was a
time when the new year began in
March instead of january. A re.
minder of this fact remains in the
names of the last four months Of the
year, September, October, November,
and December, which mean the sew
enth, eighth, ninth and tenth months
from March.
julius Caesar, who arranged the cal
e-dar named alter han, changed the
De1 alns Ut the year to January,
Janus, from which January gets its
name, was a Greek deity who was
supposed to open all gates and there
fore to open The gate of each year.
In one OF his poems Longfellow
makes HIM say,
Il count-as god of avenues and
gates
The years that through my portals
come and CO."
Strange as Ut may seem, although
the Julian calendar, as afterwards
corrected by Pope Gregory XIII, was
adopted by all European countries SO
that the civil or popular year began
On January first, the legal year for
many centuries continued to begin
ON March %. Thus there We've each
year two new year days and a good
deal of confusion resulted. In 1863
France changed the legal year to
conform to the civil, Scotland follow
ed I'm 1900, and England and Ire
land in 1852. This ended the anomaly
and makes the civil, ecclesiastical and
legal year commence on the first of
January.

NEW YEAR THOUGHTS

1t is remarkable what a differenc,
the calendar makes in our life, ant
what an amount of sentiment Ii
calls forth But for the calendar one
day would be about the same as an
other and the first Of January would
mean no more to us than the first oil
any other month. But since the cal
endar has decreed on the authority oil
governments and scientists that the
first OF January is the first day OF
a new year, the day Immediately as
sumes peculiar Importance.
There is no o.her day quite like DIT ;
none that produce the same varying
emotions. When the clock strikes
the hour of midnight on December
81, 1t means the death of one year
and the birth of another, and as a
consequence our feelings are both re-
gretful and glad, and our thoughts are
both retrospective and prospective.
We cannot avoid pang that the old
year which meant so much to us,
like snowflake in the river, gone
forever Nevertheless, we greet the
new year joycusly, with hope and
expectancy, even though the past
may with some make the hope eau
tious one. Still 1t exists and with 1T
the truly ambitious man wlll do his
best to realize the plans he has form
ed.
New Year Is also the time of
pleasant greetings to others. The
wish for a Happy New Year is no
empty phrase, but genuine express |
sion of the friendly interest We take
in one another OF course we do
not limit our good wishes to the OPP n
ing days of the year but hope that
each day in the whole circle of the
year may come ladened with bless
ings
1t is good thing that we have
these special days to relieve the
of life and free us from the
dull routine OF duties in which
there Is a danger of losing ourselves
We're lit not for sch days as Christ
mas with its divine message and New
Year with its pleasant greetings, our
timer sensibilities would become
1eadened and we would grow as hard
and cold as the yellow gold after
which most of us seek.

Had the Goods.

And after two years prognostica-
ton on Brother Broxon's political
dope, we believe it is up to him to
buy the cigars. This also applies to
some of our good Republican friends
who didn't see beyond Broxon's Pro-
gressive campaign. He never was
with any such project as the Pro-
gressdve party from the time 1T was
organized, one rainy day in st. An
thony, up to the time the Tribune is
going to press tonight. He was a
Democratic party aid, and that much
is proved, and we congratulate him
on getting away with it.-Pocatello
