of the United States representatives
in conference here today that

Points Out Defects
He said: my interest in the
inefficiency of, our present calendar
and the need for a more practical
monthly measure o. days originated
in our company.
81. Monthly records of business
are not exact because months differ
in length and have different
numbers of working days when COM

and the corresponding month in
previous years.
"2. The number of pay days and
days beyond four weeks vary.
SO. The weekday names are differ

a different economic value.

Magic is an art that has been
handed down from time unknown.
1t has, in it's evolution, been i'm
proved to where today the art is in
it's highest state of perfection and
offers the most startling form of
amusement.
But one need not necessarily be
a master to entertain with magic.
Amateur magicians prove them
selves the outstanding personalities
in any gathering. That one may
learn these tricks will outline ex-
clusively through the columns of
The Times the simple illusions that
may be used for house demonstra-
ton.
First, I wish to caution the be-
ginner in that to successfully pre-
sent magic thorough knowledge of
the trick is necessary. Try it over
and over. Practice makes perfect
and with practice you develop speed.
1t is essential that your hands be-
come quicker than the eye. For in
this quickness lies the secret of sue
cessful presentation.
When you are ready to present
the trick in a gathering use care to
stage your act in manner that
your audience does not see through
your scheme. Do not give away
what you have learned. The art OF
magic belongs to you and you alone
Here is the first trick. Clip each
article as it appears and paste 1t in
book, for it will be, necessary to
refer to it time and again before
you will have mastered the tricks.
One of the most outstanding tricks
is that of producing lighted can
die from your pocket. The humor
of this trick comes from attempting
to light an object that stubbornly
refuses to ignite. Candles make
their appearance from every con-
ceivable part of the magician'S
clothing.
The magician takes an ordinary
candle and removes about an inch

bling an international conference to
decide these four questions:
Whether the calendar should
have its weekday-names perpetually
fixed to the same dates in every
year, by indulging an extra Sabbath
in the last week of each year?
whether quarters of the year
should be made equal by alternating
two months of thirty days and one
of thirty-one days; or whether thir-
teen equal months of four complete
weeks should be established, with
the new month inserted between
June and July.
Whether Casters date should be
fixed on the Sunday following the
present. eighth of April?
Upon which year the simplified
calendar shall begin"
Need for Early Action
Eastman urged immediate action
by the chamber on his proposal of
an International Fixed Calendar"
Unless action is taken this year
the calendar can not begin until
1899, because it is necessary to have
year in which Jan. l falls on Sun
day. He proposed the calling of a
conference of international repre-
Sentatives and lay plans for begin
ming the new calendar in 1888, the
first year in which Jan. l falls on
Sunday.

This remarkable statement came
from Mr.. T. G. Hewitt, 1870 S. Illinois

called on The Konjola Man at
Hooks drug store. Illinois and

ended his health troubles. Mr..
Hewitt's statement further reads:
II had one of the very worst cases
of stomach trouble that any one
could suffer. My system was full Of
catarrhal poisoning and the food 1
ate never did me bit of good. AS

mostly due to constipation. My
health was going down hill, and,
worst of all, I couldn't find medi-
cine that would help me. I didn't
know what to do next.
Then I noticed the reports other
people were making about Konjola,

crime. Bank Bandit Homer Dasey,

character to resist their baleful influ.
ences. A discriminating observer of
men in public Office recently remarked
to us that, in his long and intimate
study of those whose careers had been
marked by extraordinary opportun.
tiles, it was depressing to note how few
retained the high spiritual vision with
which they came to their exalted
tasks. Said he. II have seen many
men come to a place of power who
at the beginning Of their public
careers, disclosed an appreciation of
the ideal. of the sheer worth of great
moral principles. and repeatedly
collision with the concerns of 'practi.
cal politics.. so called. to abandon
their high impulses and lose their
deep sense Of moral values" They
were the victims of new and changed
environing conditions. They did not
have the capacity to remember with
humility the day when they were
small in their own sight.
To be able to hold to the homely
and simple qualities that we knew
and practiced in our youth is a guar
antee of permanent success and hap.
piness. To remember always that
anything that may come to us in the
way of distinction, power or luxury
is not comparable in worth to what
we have within us of moral character
is to insure ourselves against those
disappointments and tragic failures
that frequently mark the way of
those who, like Saul, are unmindful
of the day of small beginnings.
The sheer moral grandeur Of char.
acter that refuses to be made sub.
servient to the ways and habits that
attend success and prosperity is.
after all. the greatest asset we have.
With it we feel a sense Of security,
without it there is no stability. no
satisfaction and no sense of perma-
nence. The men and the women who
have been the greatest benefactors
of their generations have been those
who remembered when they were
small in their own sight"
