THE COMING
HALLEY COMET.
NOW IN CONSTELLATION MIES
May Brush the Earth With its Tail
A' out May 18th, 1910- Full
Details by Astronomer.
Gsrrett P. Serviss. the well known
astronomer and authority on matters
astronomical, thus speak** or the
much talked of comet:
"The statement that Halley's comet
has been seen already with the naked
eye by ail sstionouier connected with
Columbia observatory will be received
with surprise bv those who have been
following the history of the comet * ap-
proach to the earth and the sun.
"It hau „.>t been expected to become
visible in that way for some weeks vet,
and if it'has lx>eii thus seen something
most have occurred to make it brighter
with (treat rapidity. This is possible
because its increase iu ' -infancy has
for some time been going on at a higher
rate than calculation indicated. Very
remarkable fluctuations of brightness
have also l>een noted for a few weeks
bac On November 8- the comet whs
of the 10th magnitude, and on Novem
ber MO it had it hail sunk to the 12th
magnitude, or was six days less bril-
liaut than it whs eight days before It
may give u« otlwr surprises.
Tb- position of tbe oomeM* now 4n

in the southwest at about ft o'clock in
the evening. It will continue moving
west 'vard. andJ at the be innirg of
Mar Ci s. :ib)ir Hire- hours after
the sun. It will probably not be seen
when it is •••■ai it". nl. 'v i nt>i<jnt ,\p

sunrise Then, on May 18. it will pass
between the sun and the earth and
possibly switch us with its tail, and
about that time it may present a bril-
liant spectacle. The comet is now ap-
proaching the point in the sky where
the planets Mars and Saturn shine no
n<tr together that their coujui
attrats every eye. It is said by
oliservers to have already develop
tail. This should begin to lie visi
soon as the moonlight is with
from the evening sky."

read Mrs Mary J. Holmes' delightful
sketch ol' men, women and manners in
the South, called "Lena Rivers," wonld
want to see the work In dramatic shape,
it has been placod and its success has
verged upon the extraordinary. This

THIS YEAR*
Copvrirht 100V, by C.F. Zimmerman Co. No.52
DO You spend all you make?
If you do you'll never get ahead. Did
you ever have a bank account? That is the
surest way to save. You can start one
with us with a dollar and you will be sur-
prised how loud that dollar will cry for an-
other to keep it company, so that the two
may work for you. The establishment of a
bank account is the first step toward ac-
quiring the habit of thrift.

"It is impossible to successfully
handle Indians or to help them at lor
range. Civil service may help mat-
ters, bnt civil service appointees are too
often persons of superficial education,
no practical knowledge and little com-
mon sense. Dm Commissioner Valen-

learn himself; and learning means liv-

to look on them with curiosity nor to

Operation Restored Sanity.
St Louis, Dec. 28.—Thomas F. Ctid-
lihee, a patrolman, returned to his
home with his sanity restored. He had
been at the city hospital for thref
weeks where part of hl6 skull had
bc< n removed. Two years at;o he was
alt on the head with a club by a negio.
The blow changed him from an officer

Great many people of today
dwell under the delusion that
the name one bears has much to do
with his success in life. We don't
pretend to know the facts of the
case but it is conceded by every-
one that successful men wear good
clothes. Everything in
Men's Furnishings
carried in stock. Courteous treat-
ment and one price to all makes
this store popular to everyone.
