MARCH, THE THIRD MONTH
Vas Formerly The First Month In
Calendar

Tomorrow ushers in the third month
of the calendar yesr-Marcb. There
is an old legend which says:
March comes in like a lion and
goes out like lamb, or
Comes in like lamb and goes out
like lion"
The month Of March was named
for Mars, (Latin Msrtius) the Roman
god of war. This divinity was known
as Father Mars, and like Jupiter, he
enjoyed the highest nonors at Rome,
of which city Jupiter, Msrs and Quiz.

ATTRIBUTES OF NUMBER 7
Holy Things-Original Jokes
Known to Mankind.

Pythagoras declared that while the
number three contained the most sub
lime mysteries, the number seven is
powerful for good or evil and is asso-
ciated especially with holy things, re-
marks Philip Hale in the Boston Her
aid. There are seven deadly sins
among Christians and Moslems; the
seven champions of Christendom, the
seven league boots, the seven sages of
Greece, the seven sleepers of Ephes-
ties, the seven sorrows of Mary, the
seven heavens known to the cabalists,
the seven virtues, the seven wonders
of the world, the seventh son of a sew
enth son. In the early church there
could be only seven deacons to each
town. Jacob served seven years for
Rachel In the Bible we read of seven
bullocks, rams, men, sons, spirits,
stars, seals.
The strong gods pine for my abode,
And pine in vain for the sacred seven.
And why should there not be seven
original and only jokes? We have
never seen them in print or manu-
script. Undoubtedly one of them had
something to do with a mother-in-law.
Possibly When is a door not a door,"
was one Of them. OF this we may be
sure: Jokes told in the ark are re-
peated confidently today in musical
comedies, comic papers, clubs and
even by the happy fireside.

At the I!epunlIe Tomorrow.

A splendid new photoplsy will APP
pear at the Republic Theatre to-
morrow. 1t is called The Kingdom
of Love" and in it is a new star,
Jewel Carmen, whom you have known
in times past as a leading woman OF
great ability and beauty. The play is
one that deals with the career of an
extraordinary girl who is thrown into
the vortex of life among the gold
seekers of the North.
The play is full! Of thrilling circum-
stance and display of human emotion,
and it gives opportunity for many I'M
usual and brilliant scenes. 1t is done
in the fashion that has brought fame
to the name of William Fox and it is
Accordingly interesting from start to
finish.
The director of this play is Frank
Lloyd, who made such pig pictures as
"A Tale of Two Cities" which is one
of the most brilliant things that has
ever been seen upon the screen. An
excellent cast of Fox players surround
the star and there is no doubt of the
pleasure that this performance will
give. 1t is certainly something that
every lover of moving pictures will be
anxious to see, and great deal of in
terest has been awakened by its an
nouncement.
1t is said thst some of the incidents
in this play have been put on the
screen in an entirely new way and
that there are many unusual features
which will make the production one
long to be remembered

NOT NOW GOODS AMOUNTED"
Kings Seem to Have Lost Much Of
Glamor With Which They Once
Were Surrounded.
See Tor behold the kingI

See Tor behold the kngl
No one sees king, unless, possibly,
at game of poker. The proper thing
is always to behold him.
The king presides at functions, at
tends the race track, issues messages
to constitutional bodies which have
listers, piles up debts and leads dou-
bic life. He also attends wars, where
he occupies an important strategic
position with the other statesmen
who have brought on the war; at a
place called Headquarters" which is
usually about eighteen miles in the
rear of the battle.
Some say that the king is a back
number. He has been held up to ridi-
cI'le so long that even the proletariat
is no longer in awe OF him. Still, by a
sort OF royal inertia, he continues TO
exist-like the vermiform appendix.
Some kings are fat and others are
thin; some tall and others short; all
kings are uneasy; this king is no ex-
ception to the rule. He has a number
OF crowns, some of them larger than
of his head.
He keeps on hand a collection of
prerogatives, which he uses more
sparingly than was his wont
The king usually keeps a dress suit
case packed with a few necessary
clothes in the event that he may have
to leave the throne and his creditors
in a hurry. This shows that kings are
oftentimes wiser than they SEEM

1t is undoubtedly important to take

of chaotic conditions that the war

in the expenditure of money. The
