GANDERBONE'S FORECAST.

APRIL. April was so called from the Greek name for Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty. Caesar thought the pacifists should have one month in the year to_show what they could do, and he gave them this one. They accordingly named it for Venus, who seems to have been a woman very much like Jane Addams. She loved peace and quiet, and her husband, Vulcan, invented the wellknown domestic expedient of leaving his shoes out on the porch. Caesar’s agreement with the pacifists was that he would make his regular spring drive in March, and then withdraw Ms army from the field. The first day of April, or the day upon which the pacifists, assembled to determine what should be done to hold the empire intact, was therefore called AllFools’ Day. Caesar discouraged this ridicule of a large and respectable element in Rome, but when he went ever to the Forum to hear what the pacifists had to say he had often to draw the portierreg on the royal box to keep those good people from seeing him laugh. After trying through a period of years to southe the savage breast with music and other things, the pacifists finally got the empire into such a mess on its frontiers that Caesar publicly denounced them in the senate as* political visionaries and milksops. This infuriated them, and when he left the hall Brutus, Casca and other leading pacifists set upon him with knives and assassinated him. Thus fell Caesar,

jof whom Marc Antony said that he ' carried the day but unfortunately ! did not carry a knife. I- ——o —-o-—• April was a rare season in Rome. The soldiers were all home from the front, which gave the city something of a holiday flavor. Birds sang in the olive groves. The sun roused the crocus cut of the brown grass. The poet Virgil, who was at heart a farmer, sang like Caruso. It was then that Cicero could be seen quietly hoeing in his garden. Spring onions came up from the low-lying truck farms beyond the Pontine marsh. From the broad verandas of the villa of Horace rose music and song in the soft spring night. Even Caesar himself could be met in the market soon after daybreak, his chip basket on his arm, his eagle eye running over the lettuce heads and the young, asparagus. There Lepidus came, a shy, furtive creature, indulging his passion for spring mushrooms. It was in such a place at such a time that Lucullus, the epicure, delivered his historic panegyric on spring greens. He attributed the fall of all former civilizations to their ignorance of the miraculous qualities of things like spinach. Along late in April the patricians came out in their summer flannels, and crowds collected in front of the public houses waiting for bock beer to make its appearance. There was, too, ap amusing feature of April in Rome. It was then that Marc Antony's thoughs turned to Cleopatra, and that great statesman and warrior fairly raided the flower stores 'wo or three times a week expressing tenderness in the direction the flowers went. The Roman wits called the regular packet between Rome and Egypt at that season the flower boat, and ' when it was occasionally ! known that Marc himself had gone inboard for the trip, even grave men j like Octavius stood around on the quay and laughed as lightly as chil!<lren. It is as someone has said— I there was only one Rome. —o —o— The festive calf will sniff the breeze And turn a -summersault for spring. And in the solftly-budding trees The waking doodlebug will sing. The hired man will mark the skies And shed four thicknesses of pants, The cunning widow will devise Her matrimonial advance. The soda fountain clerk will fill His trench with chemicals and gas, The dogwood blooming on the hill Will head the decorating class, The prudent groceryman will wire His edibles against the flies, And ladies boot tops will retire From heights denied to modest eyes, ■ ' —o —o— There is no other season quite the peer of spring in all her charm, a time the cherry trees are white and honeybees begin to swarm. A wistful fragrance fills the air, the nights are beautiful and still. The whipi porwills begin to pair and sing duets ' upon the hili. The lusty tomcat j takes his turn at doing what he can I for art. The^season is a fine conI cern, and was successful from the j Start. Or come what will, Or war or i peace, or whatsoever one suppose, • the charm of spring will never-cease, , but keep on keeping- io the close.

He lifted up his face and bayed the very moon before the: throhg. He called it life, and found it sweet; his banaa roared above the brook; it swept his era off its feet and made him famous for his book.

To him the wars were only set against a background of delight, and men were puppets whom he met with no more gumption than to fight. He gripped his harp between his knees and drowned the dissonance with song, nor even hinted, if you please, that anything perhaps was wrong. —o—o—The first 21 days in April are under the influence of Aries the Ram, the first sign of the zodiac. People born under this influence are very shrewd, and their foresight is wonderful. They are probably the only people in the country who know how the trouble in Mexico is coining out, and Gen. Funston is unfortunately not one of them. The last eight days of the month will be under the influence of Taurus the Bull, the second sign of the zodiac. The Taurians are very bullheaded, and children born under this sign are much harder to trriin than seals. The moon will be full on the 18th. There will be a good deal of rain, and periscopes on cyclone cellars will be repaired. Military training camps will become very general over the country, and trench diggers will mobilize

in the garden. The ruling planet early in tlie month will be Mars,’tin-, dor which the Russians always do i better; ..but later in the month the dominant planet in the sky will be Venus, under which the Germans always chase the Russians back. Easter will come on the /3d. Mercury will be morning star until the 24th, when it will join Mars as evening star, and see what ran be done about making Mr. Rockefelar reduce the price of gasoline. Jupiter, which has failed to do anything in this matter, will become morning star on the Ist and associate with Mercury in tryin'g to Hold congress where the President _tan lay his hand on it. China will be a republic from the Ist to the 15th; a monarchy from the 15th to the 2 2d, and a republic again from that time on. There will lie no eclipses during the month.. The total ellipse of the sun on February 3d was so poorly attended because of the War and the absence of any great interest in such things thaft it has been decided not to have any more astronomical phenomena until July 14, when there will be a Partial eclipse of the moon. There will be a good many people running

How Two Men Cured LaGrippe "East winter I suffered with a terrible cold and a case of la grippe,” writes E. C. Rhodes of Middleton, Ga. "When getting well of la grippe I still had a hacking cough and for several months could get no relief. Finally I began taking Foley’s Honey and Tar and soon I was well of both cough and cold and it never returned.” F, G. Prevo, Bedford, Inch, writes: “After having an attack of la grippe it left me with a severe cough and I tried everything. I lost in weight and got so thin it looked as though I would never get w’ell. I tried Foley's Honey and Tar Compound and two bottles cured mo. I am now w-Jl and back to normal weight.” Foley's Honey and Tar Compound Is a healing family remedy and seldom fails to relieve cSughs, colds, croup, whooping cough, raw and inflamed throat, tight and sore chest,, irritated tickling throat and bronchial coughs.
