Income Tax Season

Again we will indignant wax, and
poignant things We'll say; the time to
pay the income tax draws nearer every
day; the burdens on our careworn
backs more Sorely seem to weigh. We're
patriots, We love the nag, we love our
native hills; of our palladiumS we brag.
our bulwarkS give us thrills; but still
We feel our spirits sag, when asked to
pay the bills. We love our country,
where of old our sires to battle few: we
cherish much the legends bold Of strife
pilgrims knew: and yet We feel our feet
grow cold when income tax is due We
sing the anthem OF the free, We sing
that anthem twice: to thwart foe
mans Snickersnee we'd make huge sac
rifice; but we're as sore as we can be
when asked to pay the price. No doubt
II we were called to fight, to save our
starry flag, we'd journey forth with
faces bright, and would not droop or
lag, and we'd denounce the craven
wight who didn't whoop and brag No
doubt if we should lose q limb, an ear
or collarbone, we still would act like
Sunny Jim with courage all our own;
we still would sing the hero'S hymn,
suppress the sigh and groan. We're
capable of noble things when the &C.
casionS rise; the souls equipped with
eagle wings, no fear is in our eyes: If
dirge-like tune some caitih sings. that
caitiff we deSpise. But paying Up the
income tax is not like bearing arms, like
Etriding, knapsackS on our backs, across
encrimsoned farms: we breathe aliases
and alackS, and look like false alarms.

 There are lots of grey minerals. I didn't take the short course that YOU did but l know there is greJ copper, and arsenical pyrite, and lnotler kind of grey pyrite, ana some other minerals like black jack are often grey, especially if they are a little Weathered"
 Larry looked thoughtfully at the stove for while and then said: We can get the assayer to reter- mine the mineral and give us $ test for it. He must have saved some Of the sample If we only lad small assay outfit we could make cur own fire assays for gold or silver. I learned that in the Short Course.

If it is a poisonous snake you have come upon

you are perfectly safe, for no snake win ever

the snake from being killed uselessly.

FL C0mancho'S Stories

NEARLY everybody is afraid Of snakes, yet
there are only three or four kinds in
America that are poisonous at all or dangerous
in any way. The rest are harmless, so far as
man is concerned, and all snakes do q great
deal for mankind by killing insects, gophers,
mice and other vermin that do more or less
damage to crops and stored foods. Therefore
none but the poisonous snakes should ever be
killed by any one, and there is an easy way to
distinguish the poisonous snakes from the
harmless ones if you will just take time to
learn little about all snakes.
The poison snake invariably has a triangu-
lar head and carries the poison fangs in its
upper jaw. These fangs are curved, needle
sharp and hollow, and not fast to the jaw
bone. Harmless snakes, on the other hand,
have Oval-shaped heads, and do not have any
fangs at all.
Now suppose that you are out in the wilds
and see snake, what Is the first thing to do?
Look at its head! Then look at your thumb.
If the snakes head is the shape of your thumb
from the joint to the tip the snake is not
poisonous. Now put your two thumb ends
together, hold your hands with the backs nat
toward you, and bring your two forefngers
together at the ends loosely Now look at
the space you mclose between your hands,

Ho9v Months We're Named

JANUARY Is such good name that it
couldn't possibly be improved upon because
it was named for the old Roman god-Janus,
the god of beginnings and endings In statues
Janus is represented with two faces. One face
looks to the past, the other to the future And
is not January first, New Year day, the day
1t is the time when we ring out the old year
and ring in the new.
The name February comes from q festival
Of publication called Februa, in honor of a god.
February, in Roman cities, was the month for
the cleansing Of temples and houses. Feb
ruary is far too cold month with us for house
cleaning, so it has lost its meaning.
March IS from Mars, the war god-a blowy,
clustering month with winds and storms which
conquer old mother earth over and over again.
So March Is good name, too.
April comes from "Aperit," a Latin word
which means open. April is the opener of
Spring. Her coming means the renewal of life
on earth after a long Winters sleep.
May Is from Maia, goddess. She was the
daughter Of Atlas the god who held the earth
on his shoulders. Maia was the mother Of
Mercury, the swift-footed messenger who had
wings on his heels and ran errands between
earth and heaven. Special honor was given
Maia on account Of her son and she and her
six sisters were set up in the sky and turned
into the seven stars that form the Pleiades,
The lovely month of May was named after her.
June was named after Juno, the proud wife OF
the great god Jupiter.
Beginning with July, the months were num-
bered, until two very powerful Roman En-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-07-07

perors ruled. They governed most of the
known world. These Emperors were julius
Caesar and Augustus Caesar. So July and
August were named after them. Belief in the
old pagan gods began to die out and people
began to think that after all no man was
good enough to claim a month of his own.
Therefore the old numbers still stand for the
other months They are Septem, seven; Octo,
eight; Noven, nine; Decem, ten. This Is
rather odd, for the months are really the ninth,
TENTH eleventh and twelfth Of our year, and
yet, according to name. they should be the
seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth. This may
be explained by the fact that at one time our
new year began with March instead Of with
January. Thus the last four months Of our
year are not only named after numbers but
after wrong numbers. But do you think we
are ever going to bother TO change them?

Banking Facts for
Boys and Girls
BY JOHN Y. BEATTY.
Editor OF the Bankers Monthly.

AS Carl looked over some of his fathers
n checks that had been returned by the
bank he discovered one that had a rubber
stamp Endorsement on the back Of 1t bearing
the name Of another bank in another town.
AS he examined this impression, he looked up
at his father with question in his eyes and
his father explained.
1.-THE man to whom this check was made
deposited it to his account in the other bank,
after signing 1t on the back as an mdorSe-
ment His bank then had to put its stamp
on the check as an Endorsement to show that
it had paid the money to him. Then it col
lected the money from my bank and my bank
in turn has stamped the check paid by per-
forating the word paid and the date, as you
see when you hold 1t up to the light.
Sometimes check will have the names of
several banks on the back Of it before it is
finally returned. This happens when the check
is sent to some one in town some distance
away This man may deposit the check in his
bank. The bank sends 1t to its correspondent
bank. which may send 1t to still another bank
before 1t comes back to ours. Each bank that
it passes through must attach its stamp on the
back of the check"

Is nothing so homelike or attractive as
beautiful flowers on the window sils of a
house." said Miss Brown as she glanced with
pride toward her window, where some flowers
were blooming gayly out of two handsomely
colored flower pots "But there is one thing
that cannot tolerate, and that is to see lovely
flowers growing in the windows of nice homes
out of old lard pals. One day when such q
sight annoyed me, was on my way down town.
In one of the stores I saw plain earthenware
flower pots that were fawn colored, like kitchen
mixing bowls. Then an idea flashed through
my head. How splendidly these would serve
as flower pots If they were artistically painted
$50 bought one. 1t cost only is cents. I
had some paint at home, and turned out one
of the prettiest flower pots that I have seen
anywhere I painted the top rim of the pot
gold, and the rest of the pot dark blue, then I
cut brilliantly colored flower very neatly out
of a strip Of wall paper which I had, and when
the paint was dry pasted it in the middle of
the pot"
What brilliant ideas you have! / always
admired that flower pot in your window" said
one of the girls. SHEILA McIVOR.
