TWO FACED JANUS.
de Was the Ancient Sun God as Well
as the God Of War.

4
Poor old Janus! DO you know how
Ihamefully posterlty has maligned
himi You have heard all your life that
January was named for the Roman
god Janus and that Janus was the god
OF war, hence the tirst month OF the
year must be turbulent. Or perhaps
you have gone deeper into the signlfl-
canoe of the first months name and
have been told that IL was given the
honor OF heralding that CORY god be-
cause he had two faces, one looking
into the past and the other looking into
the future, as the first month OF the
year naturally would do, But through
II all you have held rigidly before you
the fact that he was the patron, the
devotee, perhaps even the instigator OF
war.
Az matter OF history, Janus was a
venerable and thoroughly established
deity before the little band of Trojans
carried eastern culture 10 Italy, when
the primitive Italians had not begun TO
suspect that war was an institution
which called for goat" War needed
no justification or excuse. Men fought
because that seemed the only thing to
do. As for Janus, he was their great
est sun god. He presided over the ris.
ing and setting of the sun. and hence
he was the god who looked after the
propitious beginnings and happy end
ings of all undertakings. He was rep
resented with two faces, which looked
to the east and the west. His temple
I'm Rome was closed only in time Of
peace, and as there seldom was peace
II was usually open. Hence he was
called the god of war.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat

Obituary.

Tired and worn and burdened with
the weight of disease and care, the
weary soul of Mrs. Mary E. Ross left
for Our Fathers House for long
and peaceful rest on the 3rd inst. at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. Mary
F. Hadfield.
The deceased was a noble woman,
loyal, true and brave. She was born
in Rockland, Maine, in 1S47 Her
father was Captain Samuel Thomas,
noted mariner of the time. In her
girlhood days she was a member Of
the Baptist church of the above town.
Later her parents moved to Chester
vile, where January /, 1866, she was
united in marriage to Frank r. Ross.
The young couple then moved to Col
orado, where for forty years they re-
sided in the gold mining camps and
booming towns of the frontier. She
was a participant in many of the
stirring incidents of those early days.
She is survived by husband, Frank
R. Ross, and four daughters, Mrs.
Diantha Gelwicks and Mrs. Blanche
Lewis of Hotchkiss, Colo, Mrs. Ethel
McCool of the same state, residing at
Victor, and Mrs. Mary F. Hadfield Of
thic city.
One son, Water w. Ross, of Tono-
pah, Nevada, twelve grandchil-
dren. The surviving husband paid a
touching tribute to her memory by
declaring that in their happy married
life of fifty years she never commit
ted a wrong act, and in their hour of
danger was the bravest woman he
ever saw.
We shall miss her but never re-
place her. When the flower-laden
casket was lowered to its resting
place it closed the lost scene in the
life of a true wife and mother, who
has not lived in vain.
Aloha, old partner. Goodbye,
mother.
