His upper story is no doubt
A trifle out of plumb ;
Strange tilings are flying in and out
The roof is leaking some ;
To some gre&t truths the man is blind
And yet he boldly dares
To freely exercise his mind
In all mundane affairs ,
He bravely dares to plot and plan
In every race that's run ,
And thinks himself the greatest raau
That ever spiked a gun ,
And now to pops and democrats
And others I declare ,
His belfry is not full of bats ,
No insects winter there.
His heart may be surjharged with guilt
Observe I said it "may"
But what he knows he knows he knows
And , knowing , says Ills say.
So if he Would , in making laws ,
With other statesmen mix ,
I'm here to help his blooming cause
Or perish trying. BIX
State Journ ;
Lenten Season
Easter Sunday , this year , will fal
on March 30th. The Lenten seaaoi
commences on Ash Wednesday , si :
weeks before Easter , and this make
the date Eebruary 12. So it is only i
little more than three weeks until al
the social gaiety must cease. Date
for social events are being arrangec
accordingly.
The rule forfixing the date of East
er Sunday is rather a complicated
one. Commonly , it is said to be the
first Sunday following the fourteenth
lay of the moon , or full moon , attei
thu vernal equinox , or the beginning
af spring. This rule applies in tnh
instance , spring commencing OT IJch
23. It will thus be seen that Easter
Sunday could not come much earlier
in the year taan it does this time ,
tn practice , this rule cannot befol
lowed exactly for the reason that the
noon would be full at different times
in various parts of the world , so that
Easter would follow a day earlier in
: he eastern hemisphere than in the
vestern.
Accordingly an ecclesiastical or
deal moon is used in figuring the
late. This was settled at the Coun-
; il of Nice , in A. D. , 325 , when the
restern usage was adopted as univer-
al in the Christian. The exact date
s based on certain chronological cy-
les , the progress being a com plica ted
ne. The Dominical letter of the
ear 1902 is E , and the Roman indica-
ion is 15 , With a certain value giv-
njto the Dominical letter , the prob-
: m is complete , and the date is ar-
ived at exactly by mean of certain
ules. But it is enough to know that
iaster falls on March 30 , and that
ient begins on Eebruary 12. The
