ASH WEDNESDAY
A Brief History of tho Day
arid tlio Season of
Fasting
FIRST DAY OF LENT
Two .ol the Heritages of (ho
Christian Church nnil Is a
Period for Acta ol Special Con-
trition Fasting Necessary for
Development of Character.
YeMerday was first day nl Lent
(from tho old English Lncten
moaning spring) commonly called
Anh Wednoaday. This day and
BfDBon are two of the heritages of
the Christian church from the
early but tho sub-apostolic church.
It la not historically certain that
the church in the apostolic times
marked olTthia period for acta of
special contrition but wo do find
it well defined in tlio second cen-
tury. Whilo Christ Himaell may
not have actually commanded fast
ing Ho certainly took it for grant-
ed that bucIi a course was neces-
sary lo the development of a
righteous character for Ho fasted
II iin self and assumed that his fol-
lowers did -as for instanco when
Ho said: "When yo fast" etc.
going on lo tell them ol tho correct
method of fasting.
Fasting then can be traced back
to tho o.rlieal limes of divine rev-
elationfor tho Mosaic injunction
was obeyed by the Lord Himaell.
Tho intention ol llm Christiana in
thus prracrluing a fast before Cast-
or was undoubtedly to commenior-
ato tho "Forty Hours of Gloom"
which intervened between the
Crucifix.-n and tho Resurrection.
For a good while tliero aeems to
have been no uniform rule as to
the number of days on which to
last some holding a three weeks
fast before Easter as did the Ro-
mans; others observing a period of
six. weeks as the Qrueks and Alex-
andrians anil others maintaining
the longer period of seven wiks.
Origen tells us that in his lime
Iho beginning of the third century
tho forty day fast before Easter
was observed and in the next cen-
tury this is aeen to be commonly
observed. Tho present mode of
observance according to which
Lent is made to begin on Ash
Wednesday was stamped with the
authority oi Gregory Iho Groat in
tho latter part of the sixthjcenlury
anu appears to nave oeen mouue
forward generally followed In the
Wostern church.
So much for the hiBlory of this
early Christian Inslltulltion. Now
of what prnctipal value Is it lo us
in this buy and workaday world
of ours? Originally the Borrow
following the crucifixion actuated
the minds of men but soon to this
was added Borrow for tho sin
whioh rendered the sacrifice of the
cross neceBBary and also to recall
our Lirds great lorty-day fast in
the wilder n6 during which lie
met the devil in those three great
temptations and vanquished him;
and in this way (he faUt whioh
might havo been productive of lit-
llo more than unprofitable emo
lions was converted into a season
of.careful solf-diecjpllne. We sure-
ly being human and of the same
evil natures as were the early
Christians need tho saine period
ill which io follow tho leading of
tho spirit quo! retire into tho
wilderness of solitude lor fasting
and communion with Ood. Thus
only may wo hope to crucify the
flesh with its afleclions and lust.
Fasting and abstinencey aro Iho
keynotcB (or Lent. Fasting lo
bring tho flesh and body into sub-
jection la thp pjvjrit and absti-
nence from all worldly pleasures
and amusements in order that tho
spiritual nature may the belter
recognize its defections and draw
closer to the "Father of 'Spirits"
and being free from all amuBlng
detractions it can the more roadily
pray and submit itself to God in
supplication. Jab. O'Kay.
Vance Has Hard Luck.
Yunco McSpaddcn returned Mon-
day from tlio river where ho has been

"kook-a-here stranger I don't quite

"Sorry for that but can't help It"
I replied.
"No 1 don't like jwur looks" h
continued. "Fact Is you 'pear to ben
suspicious character nnd I gu I'll
lock you up."
"Hnve jou authority to do that?"
"I should smile that I hndl I'm n
constable nnd I ntinll lock jou up as
a suspicions chnrnctcr."
I tried to nrgue the matter wllh him
but lie was "sot" nnd ugly to boot and
lie was taking' me to the lock-tip Ylktn
two or three men Interfered to the ex-
tent of suggestlnjr that I be tnken be-
fore the Justice of the pence for Imme-
diate examination. After some hesita-
tion this was agreed to. nnd a crowd
numbering a score of people accom-
panied us. The "Jedge" wns eating
supper but he hurried up nnd came
over to Ids ofllce In the back of a store
nnd opened court. When all was rendy
he asked of the omcer:
"Tom whnt's the chnrge Bgln the
prisoner?"
"Suspicion" replied Tom.
"Suspicion of whntr
"Dunno. Jest n sort o' suspicion."
"I dcclnr' but I don't see nuthln' sus-

J told him
"Whnr you from?"
"lllllflld."
"Whar' you coin'?"
"On to MounlTllIe to-morrow."
"Xuthin' suspicious nboutthnt. Whsvt
made jou think him. susploious Tom?"
"Dunno but It come oer me that ht

"Do jou want to aw'nr out n warrant
agin him?"
"Clticss not."
"Then the prisoner Is discharged."
I went to the hotel nnd got supper
nnd after the menl sat down on thtl
ternnfln 'or a smoke. In the course ol
fl e minutes the same constable wslkH
up the steps and nppronched inc and
said:
"Stranger I've come to npologlf ."
"For arresting me? Yes; you wer
hsty but It's all right."
"Thnnk you. You sec It's jfst tbU

The spot caught fhe glertln'lrom V.s
light nnd could only be seen when
the card was held nt n certain slant.
From any of the other chain It wns
entirely Invisible.
"I was aurprlsed of course and In
running over the deck I soon found
that all the face cards and aces were
similarly spotted some with one and
some with more dots the arrange-
ment being different In each case.
The discovery upset me completely
and I could see It was an equal bomb-
shell to my two companions. We lay
our ffeads together and to make a
long story short we sent a steward
after our lacemaklnp; friend nnd after
a very brief but spicy preface gave
him two minutes by the watch to dis-
gorge his spoils. I must admit he
carried It off pretty well. 'This looks
considerably like n welsh' he said
coolly 'and It the Heck is marked I
know no morn about It than you do.
However It you want your money
back you can have It. A gentleman'
said he 'always wishes to avoid o
scene.' With that he counted out his
winnings and bade us good night. A
year or so afterward I saw him at
Saratoga and learned positively that
he was n professional short-card play-
er who mode a business of working
the Atlantic boats. To get back to
the original point the stuff he used
In marking the deck was what is
known ns 'invisible Inknnd while it
Is seldom employed nowadays It can
still he bought from any dealer In
gambling tools. It has the peculiar
property of being visible only by arti-
ficial light and -when viewed from a
certain angle. How and when Cum-
mlngs did his marking nnd why he
left the deck on the table are matters
of mere oonjectu.ro Letting mi win
the other fellows' money nt the start-
oft and then winding me up at the
finish is easily understood. It's an old
fambllnf trick and diverts atisplefon."
