Accounts for Fools Day

But for the changing Of the calen-
Gar In 1854. April / might never have
become All Fools day. Several ex-
plantations have been offered as to
the fixing Of April az the date for
perpetrating practical jokes, but the
changed calendar appears to be most
probable. In 1854 New Years day
was shifted from March Is TO January
l. Before the alteration, the New
Year festivities lasted eight days, end
ing on April /. This final day was
one set apart for paying visits and
making gifts. When the alteration
was made. muddle-headed folk be
came confused and were easy prey
for the sophisticated, who sent them
out on fools errands. making calls
and carrying gifts. on the day Of
the discarded celebration. Thus the
custom became the seed from which
April Fool sprang.-New York Times.

and who has tried many important

United States at Washington, makes
The following statement in reference
to the substantial progress of the Col

For the past thirty years he ha:
keenly noted evidences everywhere ir

other person of his race in this city.
He has on numerous occasions de-
livered notable addresses to large
gatherings of them and they always
enthusiastically accord him a wonder.

on these occasions have invariably en-.
Unused his audiences to such an ex-

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2.

Probate Court since his election twelve
years ago, Judge Horner has displayed
legal ability, judicial qualifications and
such fairness, intelligence and industr,

ness methods to the dispatch Of the
Courts work, disposing Of it expedi
tiously and yet with just and fair con
sideration of the cases which have
come before him and in accordance
with the splendid traditions Of tha
court.
Judges of this character are not cas-
lily found. The benefit of Judge Hor

Her eyes pleaded with him, and
there was a look Of fear in hem
fear that he was going to refuse her,
That look told Mary Rose just how
uncertain Doris HING was Of this
Ia she was going to marry.
"She knows he doesn't are for
her the way he should" she thought.
And that's why she's SO Jealous
Of me-
For there was no doubt that she
was Jealous Of Mary Rose-bitterly
Jealous. AS she walked out Of the
office, with her two hands clasped
around John Manners arm as if she
owned him, she shot Mary Rose a
blazing glance that was an open
declaration Of war.

with this man I've made up my mind

plainly as words could have said it.

Only another : woman could have
heard the note of hate that under
lay that fitting sweetness. Mary

fectly.
For however much of a mystery
women may be to men, they are as
clear as glass to each Other!
Mrs. Middleton had supper waiting
in the hot closet when Mary Rose
got home, at seven that night. She
put it on the kitchen table and
poured herself a cup Of tea.
I'll Just sit here and keep you
company while you eat" She said
as Mary Rose began her potato soup
and hot rolls.
For Mrs. Middleton this was the
~pleasantest time of the whole day
the time when she could sit down
for a coy chat with her chicks, "
as she called Flossie and Mary

It was then that they told her all

how they had found a, new place to
eat lunch, and how good the food
was; how an unknown man had
tipped his hat to Flossie or the way
home; or how Miss Minnick had

he asked her to study spelling.
But lately Flossie had not sat in
on these coy little chats. She
seemed to have drawn away from

Doris came slowly across the space
that divided her from John Manners
and Mary Rose. Her cheek were
pink with the cold outer air, and her
blue eyes sparkled coldly in the glow
from the green-shaded lamp above
Mary Roses desk.
There was a yellow chrysan-
thernum pinned on the mink coat
she wore, and a g~old-colored satin
hat was crushed down on the metal
lie scallops of her hair. AS she
moved, a soft fragrance of rose per
fume came from her clothes and her
hair and her powdered skin.
Everything that the dressmaker,
the milliner and the beauty special
Isl could do for a woman they had
done for her. And they had done
their best They had given her a
beauty that nature had never given
her.
Mary Rose looked at her, and then

Tom looked at her, his brows

Mary Rose saw the black-haired
man across the room get up from
his chair. And then things began
to happen.

mutter.
He threw a $40 bill on the table.
Then he stood UP and followed

"He is not. I'll prove it to you,
