to that miserable story that was up hi
sleeve and had r.vh work jrott.-njr down.
Senator Fulton icned the accusation,
of Henoy that he rorresemod th inter

State Senate, and pointed to the fact
that he Sad voted for the Al'ison amend

hi!, w.hi.-h provide that railroad corpor
atiorj cannot enforce a new schedule
when objection is made to it by a shipper,
until tho reasonableness of tV proposed
s.-hedule ha been determined by the Com
mission. The Senator a iso referred to
th fact that he had trtrod-.tcod th res

would ins-ituto suit arair.st the Orexn

in takir-a- advantage of the opportunitv
to say that one of the reasons why
I ajc desirous of rcttirninr to the Sen

I thank you one and all for your at

It waa now on day too lor.jr. howvr.

of d f?rnt lrrths at different times,

ripht point ar.i then starred all over
aya-.n-
As may weU is believed, the common
people had nt comprehension of th right
ray of r-jTintt? their complicated caien
dar. They didn't know whether th
priests were dolr.jr th thin- propr!y or
not: so it was confusion wors confound
ed as time went on, until in Julius Cae
sar s time th year was hopelessly muS
d'ed i:p. The Winter months were in the
Autumn, the Autumn months in the Sum
mer, and so rn.
Something had to be done ayain. and
Caesar waa eaual to the occasion. H
pianked In two extra months between No
vember and IVoeraber. in addition to th
Irtercalary month in February; so that
the year contained 15 months and 45 days.
This waa 46 B. C, and is known in history
.as th year ot confusion.
Tt rally was th last year of confusion.
It canceled all past errors, and the next
thinjr waa to make subsequent years th
proper leneth.
Fortunateiy, there was a philosopher of
Alexandria, named Sosreenes. who had the
thins all worked out. Caesar adopted his
p'an. and the rsult is our modern year,
even to our occasional leap year.
Bnt poor old February still had to come
in for som tinkering. Caesar decreed
that th months of the year should be of

Denying the biblical story of Christ
feeding the multitude. J?ev. R. J.
Campbell, pastor of the City Temple
povoked angry interruptions from his
congregation while preaching to them
in the temple.
'The feeding of the multitude was
not a feeding of the body, but a feed
ing of the aoul with the bread of life."
he e&id. "It to a beautiful symbol, but
the beauty is dstroyd and the teach
ing ruined when it la sought to- reduce
it to a physical plane."
There were cries of "Xo." but he
asked to be allowed to continue. He
then said:
"If Christ came to Londan, he would
be regarded as a revolutionary trying
to upset both church and state. He
would not attempt to perform the mir
acle of feeding a multiturfe In the Fast
End with physical food, but he would
irike deep and hard at the causes
which make poverty and degradation."
The latter part of the sermon waa
received with applause.

bassador Juseerand, of France, who ia
accompanying Secretary Taft on his In

Hotel here.
"It is not because I am weary that I
am not in line," the Ambassador ex
Plained later, "but because I wore the
skin off one of my fingers shaking hands
in Grand Rapids. The finger is rather
painful.
"This is a very pleasant custom, but it
i5 rather fatiguing. We have nothing
like these public receptions for great can
didates in France. The candidate for
the Presidency does not canvass, and
