almanac Origin Ancient

THE publishing of almanacs date far hack
into antiquity, being issued as far back as
the fifth century after Christ by the Chinese.
It is thought likely that they are of even older
origin, dating back into the early day Of
Asiatic history.
The early productions, however. were limited
as they were produced by long hand, but With
the advent of printing they became much moro
widely circulated. Containing much valuable
information on astronomy, the tides and other
such matters, they also were cheapened BY
coarse and superstitious remarks They were
often given to prediction both Of the course
of the weather and the probable occurrence of
events Most Of the representations however.
were purely imaginary. although one outstand-
ing example did occur when one Nostradamus
foretold the death of Henry II Of France.
Franklin's Poor Richard Almanac, first pub
lished In 1882, was the most famous of the
American almanacs Of the early history Of
America. Since that time, however, the adj
vancement Of the almanac has been rapid and
now many are put out which are reference
books of great value containing information,
properly catalogued, ON q wide variety at
subjects.

his inspiration for the song.
But it was not until Handy had
moved away with his parents to
Circleville, then to Westerville,
Ohio, and returned to Rushville to
teach school that he wrote the
song.
He renewed his friendship with
Hyde, and the two of them were
fond of spending hours in the old
churchyard where they had played
as boys.
Al Blasted Romance
One grave interested them In
particular. and Hyde. who had
learned the story, said it was the
grave of Joe Selby. negro slave
who had escaped from Kentucky
and had died of pneumonia.
Selby, so he had told the little
group of sympathetic abolitionisti
gathered about his death bed, haa
been in love with a slave girl by
the name of Nellie Gray on q
neighboring plantation. But her
owner had been forced by debt
to sell her to a new owner farther
south. In desperation he had
tried to escape to Canada where
he hoped to earn enough to pur-
chase her freedom.
Deeply impressed by the story,
Handy went to his room and be.

a poem. A few days later he

words and tune TO his pupils.
1t was some time later before
he revised the song, secured 9

TRADITION OF OLD
FAILS TO SILENCE
new SENATORS
SEVERAL FIGURING IN OUT
BURSTS UPON THEIR ENTRY
WILL CAUSE THEM TO
BEAR FUTURE WATCHING
By HERBERT PLUMMER
fBy Associated Preaa1


WASHINGTON, July 27.-Most
of the new senators who came IN
with the ''new deal' observed the
traditional silence of first term
ers during the special session. but
one or two of them figured in
outbursts that will cause them to
bear watching in the future.
One was young Bennett Champ
Clark, son of the former speaker
of the house, Junior senator from
Missouri.
Senator Clark gave every evil
dence from the start that he would
not be content to sit idly by un-
til he had learned the. ropes. AT
that he enjoyed seniority over the
first termers. for Senator HAYES
resigned his seat i'm the seventy
second congress so Clark might
get preference in committee as
signments.
Young Clark had been in the
senate but short while when he
made his bow. 1t was on the side
of Huey Long. Clark came to

| litical troubles down in Louisiana.

He has bobbed up frequently in
senate debates. He was quite
active when the economy bill was
up for consideration and was one

The only big league managerial
hhake-up to occur SO far is the
resignation of Bill Killefer, old
aime battery-mate of Grover
fCleveland Alexander, from the
helm of the st. Louis Browns, but
the baseball woods are full of
stories that it's just a beginning.
The talk is that Killefer will be
found with the Boston Red Sox in
1894, where he would have much
|petter chance to display his talents.
The Dodgers have denied fatty
that Max Carey is under fire. but
have some kind of an overhauling.
Frank Frisch has been mentioned,
if Carey should step out.
Rogers Hornsby may not get
siabby Streets job and his old one
back again as pilot of the Cardin-
ais, but the Rajah seems slated for
managers job somewhere next
year.
Bill McKechnie certainly should
have his contract renewed with the
Boston Braves, on the basis of his
excellent fonr-year job under some
difficulties. but Bucky Harris of
Detroit and Lew Fonseca of the
Chicago White Sox. as well as
Marty McManus of the Red Sox,
cannot consider themselves fix
