GANDERBONE’S FORECAST. For November.

November gets its name from the Latin novem (nine), and was placed in the calendar by Numa Pompilius. Numa was a great lover of Indian summer, and he inserted November into the calendar for the purpose of prolonging it. He said it was not good for the Romans, who were rapidly leaving the country and going into the city, to lose that homely relish for life which had always characterized them in the fall. He said that if all men were like Lucullus, who dined with his friends every night upon broiled lobster and patie-de-foi-gras, it would not' be long until the empire would not have any stomach and people like the Goths and Vandals would overcome it. He set everybody an example by supplying the royal table with everything that makes appetizing the autumn. He had a royal smokehouse, and there was nothing finer in the evening than the perfume of hickory wood and sugar ham floating through the crevices of that institution. He kept pigs feet in brine. He had a barrel of cider on his north porch. He prized chitlins, and could eat cracklings. His apple butter was imitated in all the big grocery stores. He was the inventor of the Roman-beauty apple, and it was customary during affairs of state fa him to dive into his mahogany desk and get out a big red apple for everybody. ,He could eat a hatful of persimmons, and it was onp of the humors of Rome to watch for him on his tiled porch in the early morning turning his pawpaws. He was a man attuned to all the romance of nature, and to see him stealing ouj at lunch for a piece of pumpkin pie was to assure all Rome of his profound ' democracy. A good many Romans thought it impossible to prolong Indian summer; but Numa thought it could be done, and it generally can.

November was greatly loved by the Romans. It was then the great generals like Caesar got in their deadly work upon the enemies of the empire.. There was no mud to get stuck in. Soldiers were full of vim and vigor. Horses danced. Much the same spirit that possesses a football team animated the Roman army. The soldier could see his breath on the air. He had to jump around lively to keep his feet warm. He arose in the morning with a spring in—his , back, and when he swung his shield on his left arm and took his sword in his right hand he was a bear. Rome was a conquering nation. She tried to maintain three or four fronts all the time, and in the Fall she always made a big drive into the four cardinal points of the compass. If it were easy in Egypt, she shifted troops to Spain, where it was probably hard. Thus it was that with each year the Empire grew larger, and when the Romans sat down to their Thanksgiving dinner they had great things for which to be thankful. That theory of life fell into decay after Rome fMI, but it is coming back now. The Kaiser is making everybody in Europe believe in it. pretty fast, and we are beginning to believe it over here. It is a question whether it is the correct theory of life. No man can say. Caesar thought so, and in a debate with the pacifists in the Roman Forum he beat them so badly that Brutus and two or three others assassinated him when he left the hall. Marc Antony said this clinched the argument for Caesar, but he subsequently concluded that this was small satisfaction to Caesar and had his murderers executed.

The festive calf will sniff the breeze And spring the hinges in his back, And helping out the plumber's ease. The plumbing will begin to crack. The wild goose tooling down the sky Will hit it up another speed, The furnace will begin to sigh Against the coal provider’s need, The lusty hired man will bawl For thicker blankets on his bed, The quail will sound his plaintive call ' Before the hunter shoots him dead. The village loafer will bestir Himself indoors with some regrets, And the girls wij( show us bits of fur “ Just peeping from their lettes.

It does beat all what styles become, and what the womenfolk wiL *ear. It keeps the world from getting glum and yielding wholly to despair. A season they are cov and sweet, another season fierce and bold. They keep it up from head to feet as long as men provide the Wild. A bit of fur is what they feel they ought to wear this year of grace, or whether flying from the heel, or maybe glued upon the face. One sees it waving in the breeze from bonnets, collars and from socks; it may be seal from Greenland’s seas, or nothing more superb than

fox. It may be cat, it may be dog, the ladies, bless them, do not care. They’d wear the bristles of a hog if fashion wore them anywhere. Thank God, the women are so sweet, it’s hard to make them seem a fright; but seeing them upon the street, one’s courage sometimes says, “Goodnight!” A lovely miss with two fur bands around her dainty little limbs can make a man throw up his hands and say the words of beven hymns. At any rate, the war of kings wiH keep our exports on the jump, and what with making guns land things, we’ll keep our purses pretty plump. The pickle works will turn out shells, the cooper shop will take to caps, the stove works, turning to what sells, will fashion cannon for the Japs. The smoke will rise from smokeless flues, the wheels of business will resume, the miller will

contract for fuse, the old spaghetti works will boom, the tinner will make coats of mail, the cracker works will come to bat, the locomotive plant will hail an order for a very far-seeing, and they knew that will do their best, the powder mills run day and night, the smelting works around the west will take all .orders with delight, the country editor will turn his type machine to making balls, and in the end of this great fight we’ll all reside in marble halls.

But be it as it haply may, The weather will be very fine; A tender haze will fill the day, The\ air will be as rare as wine. The robin will return to rest A moment on the leaf-strewn lawn, The wary duck will be our guest A watchful moment getting on, The cidey will begin to work And pop the stopper in the jug, And the allies, working on the Turk, iWill join the now departed

November will be a quiet month politically, the chief interest centering in two or three big drives to be made by the woman suffragists. They are still fighting on the eastern -battle front, but they are having sort of Russian luck. The moon will be full on the 21st, and the first twenty clays of the month will be under the influence of Scorpio, the eighth sign of the zodiac. Scorpio people are bomb-proof hat, the shovel works some widow would get the President. The last ten days of the month will be influenced by Sagittarius the Archer, the ninth sign. Sagittarians are cold-blooded, and they seldom care whether the janitor fires up or not. Jupiter and Venus will divide the responsibility of being evening star, alliances being fashionable just at this time. Thanksgiving will come on the 25th, but until it becomes clear which side is winning in Europe it will not be possible for a neutral country like this to be quite sure what it is thankful for.

And then December will return, With bitter cold and snow, And Santa Claus will try to learn How far we’d like to go.

Tinted Polygamy.

Ihe old negro had been arrested for ‘ having more than one wife,” the, last woman being the complainant. He happened to be well known locally and an orderly character. “How many wives have you had?” demanded the judge. “Six, Yo’ Honah,” was the reply. “Why couldn’t you get along with them? ’ the judge insisted. “Well, suh, de fust two spiled the white folks' clothes when dey washed urn, de third weren't no cook, de io th was des nacherly lazy, en de flf—l’ll tell you, jedge—the sis, she—■” Incompatibility,” the court suggested. “Xo, Yo’ Honah,” said the old negro slowly, “it worn’t nothin’ lax dat. Yo’ jes couldn't get along wid her unless yo’ was somewhar’s else.” —Case and Comment.

MURDERS HER GRANDCHILDREN

t Kings October SI. Jezebel’s Daughter Became Queen of Judah Her Baneful Influence as Queen Dowager—Serious Results of Deviation From the Divine Law. Selfishness Leading to Murder—The Boy Joash Crowned at the Age of Seven. “The house of the wicked shall be overthrown; but the tent of the upright shall flourish.” — Proverbs daughter, Queen AthW aliah, on the death of her hus- ■ band became Queen Dowager of the kingdom of Judah, her •son Ahaziah becoming king. As Queen Dowager, Athaliah exercised a powerful and baneful Influence against the true God and in favor of Baal worship. This is not the only instance in which the intermarriage of the kings of Israel with the daughters of foreign kingdoms brought great injury. Her mother Jezebel was another notable instance. We remember also that Solomon’s foreign wives ensnared him. The Divine command to all Israelites was that they should not intermarry

with other nationalities. Every de; vlation from the Divine Law brought with it serlo u s penalties. This is strictly in harmony with God’s arrangement with that one nation alone, thatthey should be His people in a peculiar sense, that other nations were not

His people, that obedience to His Law would bring blessings and disobedience adversities. That Law is still upon the Jews, but not upon others. Christians, who from the Divine standpoint constitute “a holy nation, a peculiar people,” are not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers. (1 Peter 2:9; 2 Corinthians 6:14.) Christians are to come out from the world and be separate. This does not apply to nominal Christians, however, but only to the spirit-begotten. Those who disregard this Divine injunction endanger their own spiritual development, as well as their own happiness and that of the worldly person with whom they become yoked. Murdering For Power. When Ahaziah, king of Judah, was slain by Jehu, the Queen Dowager, his mother, realized instantly that this meant her loss of rank and power; that the inoment her grandson ascended the throne she must vacate her position in favor of her daughter-in-law. Her proud, selfish heart resolved that on no account should this be. Forthwith she caused her grandchildren to be slain, except one, an infant, who was bidden by his aunt in a room used for the storage of sleeping mats. Subsequently he was nursed until his seventh year tn one of the rooms connected with the Temple, which was in disuse during Queen Athaliah’s reign, as she upheld Baal worship. One lesson here is the power of pride. Other illustrations of the power of pride leading to murder in the interest of a throne are mentioned in history. No wonder the Bible declares that the fallen man’s heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked! (Jeremiah 17:9.) The Bible tells us that during Messiah's Reign the stoniness of man’s heart will be taken away and a heart of flesh given him —a proper human sympathy such as the perfect man had when he was created in the image and likeness of God. The principle of hard-heartedness operates all around us. Tn the business world, it operates to the destruction of a rival concern. In the social world, it cuts rivals, prompts to misrepresentations, slander, etc. In the home, it frequently means injustice. The correction for all this is a love of righteousness which will lead each to love and obey the Golden Rule. Crowning the Boy King.

The young king was named Joash. He was kept in hiding for six years, and was crowned in his seventh year. Jehoiada, the high priest, whose daughter had rescued Joash, superintended the inauguration ceremonies. With great wisdom he called together the chiefs of the nation at a festival time, ' when their coming

Joash made King.

shouts, “Long live the king!” and came to investigate. Realizing the situation, she cried, “Treason! treason!” So it is that sometimes injustice becomes so intrenched and fortified in human minds that an attempt to establish righteousness is considered rebellion. The lesson to all the Lord's consecrated children is, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” W hen the crown was placed upon the young king’s head, on top of it was laid the Testimony—the parchment scroll of the Ten Commandments. This indicated that the Divine Law was superior to the crown. Such should be the estimation of the matter in every wellbalanced mind. Divine Law comes first; human laws second. Human laws are usually up to as high standards as the people making them are worthy.
