SEPTEMBER.

The first appearance of September fin the Roman calendar was as the seventh month of the year, which be- gan with March In 713 B. c. Numa added January and February to the year. and September became and has since continued to be the ninth month
 This made it's name misnomer, for 1t was derived from "septimus," mean ing seventh, and properly September would be called November. which is derived from "novem", meaning nine. The Roman Senate sought to give to September the name Tiberius, and, ex- cept for the fact that the Emperor was A modest man and refused the honor, we might to-day be dating our let ters "Tib. 1, 1916." Other empe- TOTS sought the glory which Tiberius would not accept, and Domitian gave 1t his own name, Germanicus. The
 Senate under Antonius; Commodus
 gave it his surname, Herculeus; and Tacitus also gave 1t his own name, but none of them could "make it stick" :"
