might covet.
Back of it he found a story, short,
but inexpressibly .sweet. Considered
in the light of the market reports,
the story was a .masterpiece and the
laugh was worthy of It.
Wheat was fiO "cents per bushel.
Before he could get to the end of
the little legend, he was a different
man. He had grown in stature from
a mortgaged bondman to a free man.
in that instant of unalloyed happi
ness. He saw visions of new ventures all
about him More beatific dream he
has not enjoyed In years. More hap

not visited his, pocketbook, since It
has borne hisearthly treasure from

While in that happy mood he plan

ever dreamed his vocabulary contain

across the state.

do not stop with being an expert au

can defend himself from insult with

In Delaware, the official ballots,

A REFORMED CALENDAR.
Projects for reforming the old sys-
to be assured. In fact. America and i
Great Britain are about the only na
tions of importance where It Is not .
already In general use. Ixss success
has been attained In the movement
toward ridding our time measure
ments of old difficulties by number
ing the hours consecutively from one
to 24. Even in that direction, how
ever, something has been achieved
and perhaps the time Is not distant
when that also will be well night the
universal custom with respect to
marking the hours of the day.
In none of these projects for Im
provement has there been less favor
obtained than In those advanced for
a reformation of the calendar. Our
system of dividing the year Into
months Is truly venerable. It comes
down to us from the ancient empire
of Rome and Is a remnant of the dic
tatorial sway of imperial Caesar. It
has also the sanction of the Roman
pontiffs, and, furthermore. Is deeply
rooted in the customs and the minds
of every great people on the earth.
Thus every effort to change It has
been abortive. The philosophers of
the French revolution formed a new
calendar system for their new-born
republic and It was used for a time,
but Napoleon swept It away and re
stored that of Caesar.
Now comes a new effort. Twenty
members of the chamber of deputies
in France have united to urge the
adoption of a law making what is
called 'a rational calendar" compul
sory in France. The author of the
system is Camllle Flammarion. He:
would start the year with the vernal
equinox and have a year of 364 days.
The odd day he would make a fetei
day Independent of the year.- He
would name the months after the
stars. Flammnrion points out that
the main advantage of his plan lies
in the fact that the same dates recur
on the same days of the week. so
that there would le no need of chang-,
Ing the cnlendars every year. San

CATARRH:
Often begins with u cold in the head, i
but it never slops there. The tendency ij I
always from bad to worse. The simple j
cold becomes a protracted, stubborn one,
while the discharge from the nose grows
more profuse and offensive. The infiam-.
mation extends to the throat anil bron-
chial tubes, causing hoarseness, a tickling I
sensation ana an aggravating cough.
The foul matter that is continually drop
ping back into the throat finds its way
into the stomach, resulting in a distres
sing form of dyspepsia, nausea, and lots
of appetite and
strength. The JHE GATEWAY

be purely a local disease has become con

Sprays, washes, powders, salves and
other external remedies give only tem
porary relief, and the disappointed and
disgusted patient finally jives up in
despair and declares catarrh incurable.
