MARCH FIRST MONTH OF YEAR
Was So Placed In Roman Calendar and
Continued Until Comparatively
Recent Times.

March was the first month in the
Roman year, and since the Romans
were warlike people, they hon0red
Mars, the god of war, by naming the
first month Martius. 1t was the first
month in many parts of Europe until n
comparatively recent date, even In
England the year beginning March 2G
. until 1852.
The Snxons called II Lenet Monat--
length month-because In March, the
days become noticeahly longer, and
this was the origin of the name Lent"
The English have a proverb, "A peck
Of March dust is worth a kings ran
s0me," and another, "A dry March
never begs its bread" which express
their faith In the belief that dry
March means a prosperous year. This
Is explained by the fact that they do
most of their planting in March, and
unless the soil is dry, planting often
Is delayed.
It's different in America. In the mid
lie West more rain falls in March
han In April ordinarily and almost as
much In March as in May.
Almost universally in the North
Temperate zone, March is regarded as
he windy month. Normally it marks
he transition from winter to spring.

SMOKED HIS CIGAR BY PROXY
Bismarck Gave Cherished "Weed" to
Wounded Soldier and Enjoyed
Watching Mans contentment.

With all his brusqueness and even,
at times, brutality, Bismarck. says
Frederick Marvin, had much of the
"live-and-let-live' philosophy. and 1t
humanized him SO that men loved him
and willingly followed after him. The
story Of the last cigar at Koeniggratz
illustrates what has been said, says
the Yorkshire (Eng) Post.
"The value Of good cigar" said
Bismarck, as he proceeded to light an
excellent Havana. SIS best understood
when 1t is the last You possess and
there Is no chance Of getting another.
AT koeniggratz l had only one cigar
left in my pocket, which / carefully
guarded during the whole of the bat
tie, as miser does his treasure.
did not feel justified In using 1t.
i painted In glowing colors in my
mind the happy hour when ! should
enjoy 1t after the victory. But I mis-
calculated my chances. And what was
the cause of my miscalculations? A
poor dragon. He lay helpless, with
both arms crushed, asking for some
thing to refresh him. l felt In my
pockets and found only gold. and that
would be of no use to him. But stay,

tween his teeth. You should have seen

CONTEST STRONG

contest at the High school auditor

This event is the first of its es-
pecial kind, and was to determine
which Of the candidates should re-
present the Raymer Schools in the
contest which is to be held at Gro
yer, Friday evening This will be
an annual event hereafter.
The audience was to ANAL for
such an event, but that may be due
to our fault in not calling attention
to it sufficiently in advance
Four candidates competed for
the prize, gold medal offered by
Mr. and Mrs. Lacock, going to the
best of the two classes offered.
In the two classes presented,
there were two candidates in each
event In the drama, Misses Edith
Dunlap and Mayme Hoffman and
in the numerous, Misses Della Tay-
lor and Edith Haight were the
competitors.
Miss Dunlap's selection was the
first on the program, and was a
poetical production. In command
Of her piece and in pronunciation,
Miss Dunlap was well nigh fault
less, and was well rendered.
Miss Edith Haight followed with
a numerous selectron, well render

Symptoms.

Some people take more pride In
heir symptoms than they do in their
children. If you are fortunate enough
% acquire or inherit number of
Alarming symptoms, you may be able
% spend happy lifetime being miser-
able. There Is something peculiarly
charming and piquant about one who
complains about his ailments. How he
$ welcomed into any little social
.hrongi How room brightens at his
appearance! Nervous disorders are
perhaps the most enviable endow-
nents. Have you some? Persons of
his description are charming conyer-
sationalists. They are never at loss
for a remark. They can talk of their
complaints at any length. Sick head
aches. loss of appetite, weak back,
lizzy spells are only few Of their
'ayorite topics. In talking to persons
IF this sort 1t is pardonable to say,
I'D rather you'd die of your symptoms

Haight was second in the contest
and first in the numerous selections,
which makes her the representative
of the school at Grove Friday even
ing
Miss Mayme Hoffman was next
on the program, reciting a select
ion from Quo Vadis, a calculated
to exhibit the dramatic powers Of
the reader. This selection was
given first place, and Miss Hotf-
man represents the school at the
Grover meet. The selection is of
such nature that infinite pains and
drill may well be spent upon it, and
can always be improved.
Miss Della Taylor was the last
speaker on the program with a
selection from Mark Twain. Miss
Taylor's voice was not in the best
of condition on account of a cold,
but despite this handicap, she ac-
credited herself with credit and
was roundlv applauded.
Considering the short time the
pupils have drilled, and other cir
cumstances, We feel that the con-
test was a very cerditablc exhibi-
tion of the talents of the pupils.
We hope that Raymer will bring
back the laurels from the Grover
meet, but We wish they could have
had a month or six weeks more for
drill upon their selections, however,
they are working hard and work
will accomplish wonders.

BOUGHT UP THE
NORWEGIAN PRESS

Stockholm. Dec. 27.-A sensation
has been caused throughout Scandi-
navia by the revelation by the Social
Demokraten of Christiania of a Ger
man attempt by coal deliveries to buy
the Norwegian labor press.
Swedish labor also was said to have
made an agreement with Germany for
deliveries of COAL, and the Social
Demokraten. therefore, asked leading
persons in this enterprise whether anv
attempts had been made to buy swed-
ish workers. too.
Herman Lindkvist. chairman Of the
Swedish trade unions, denied the
charge. No such conditions, he as
serted, had been put forward. He de-
MED that Herr Parvus, the German:
Socialist leader, had taken part in the
agreement and protested against the
Social Demokraten's attack on his
honest comrade."
The Swedish leader insists that the
whole story of the purchase Of the
Norwegian labor press is a deplorable
political trick of the Social Demo-;
kraten. ~
