EASTER.

"Christ is risen"
'sUnto Him shall the gathering of the
nations be-"
The Resurrection being the corner
stone of the Christian faith, it was but
natural that the pioneers of Christianity
should deem it appropriate to single out
one day of the year to be observed in
celebration of the glorious event.
Whatever dispute may arise as to the
historical correctness of the time fixed
for the Easter celebration, there can be
no question of the appropriateness of
the season. 1t is the season of Natures
annual resurrection. When the fierce
winter winds had swept the earth bare
of flowers, of leaves and birds, and
under heavy skies the leafieSS earth
lay scared and blackened like wasted
life, cold Annihilation raised her mock
ing face and whispered: 81 claim my
own" To all human appearances the
claim was valid. But far beneath the
earth's frozen breast the resistless tide
of Life's electric current flowed on,
and with the return of bright spring
days we feel the warm hearts of the
flowers beating in divine unison, and
hear their soft tones reverbrating the
joyful resurrection pecan.
To the Christian the Eastertide is
typical of the Beyond-of that beautiful
land by the spoiler untrod where the one
known on earth as the angel of death
shines as the angel of life. According
to all accepted ideas of the realms of
eternal bliss, it is a land of musical
groves, and where crystalline streams
with murmurous flow meander through
valleys of green, and where the souls
that were faithful in this world taste
the rich fruitage that hangs from the
trees and their brows are famed by the
breezes that blow from the gardens of
God.
How refreshing it is, then, to the soul
of the Christian pilgrim, who feels that
he is stranger Oh earth, to catch, as he
will this bright Easter day, glimpse of
that beautiful. far-away land which his
soul recognizes as the land of its birth.

HERE AND TIL ERE.

The price paid fer cattle in this village is
% cents per hundred higher than week
ago. The increase in price is said to be due
to the passage by the legislature of the
dressed meat bill We find a difference of
opinion as to whether the measure will be a
benefit or not.-Winnebago News.
Those farmers who voted the protective
ticket last fall should not complain of lhe
low price of their cattle and hogs, and the
increased price in Irvine the coming harvest
These same farmers voted for high priced
Irvine the same as they voted for high priced
clothes, boots. ETC., and they are now reaping
the benefit of their vote.-Houston Valley
Signal.
Senator Scheffers bill providing for the
punishishment of drunkards has passed the
legislature. and is now law. 5Lucky thing it
was not in force at the time of the BANQUET
given by the city last week.-Sherburne
Star.
Perhaps if we were to have another cleo
ton tomorrow the Northwestern farmers
would vote for the Irvine trusts and all the
other trusts which are fostered by the Repub-
lican party and SO declared in their platform
but we hope they will profit by the lesson
and henceforth shun evil companions The

At dinner held in New York not long ago
the guests fell to discussing the authorship
of Shakespeares plays. Among the guests
was an aged Western, gentleman; who said
very little and listened great deal. Finally
he was asked what he thought of the ques-
ton. We'll" he replied deliberately, "of
course don't know much about it: but if
Lord Bacon did not write those plays, he lost
the greatest opportunity of his life" For a
wonder this view of the controversy was re-
ceived without dissenting voice.

Perils of Society Girls.

What are soeiety's perils for young
wOmen?" | asked society GIRL" and
she said: sin Washington, lack of
men," For girls, this is true. There
are plenty of men in Washington. Per-
haps in no city in the United States is
society worth so much while as in
Washington, because so many dis
tinguished men gather there. In no
party do you fail to see groups, any one
member Of which would be worth
making feast for in other cities. But
the distinguished men of Washington
scarcely come at an earlier period than
their early middle life. They are i'm
Washington because they have already
won more or less eminence. They are
past the uncertainty. the hesitancy, the
unreality of life, and are bent on definite
pursuits. The young men, the natural
mates for the girls, are in other cities
and districts. practlcing law, learning
to edit newspapers. cantering over cat
tie ranches, preaching sermons to young
women and probably making a poor fist
OF it, exploring mines earning money,
winning fame. By and by they will
come to Washington, but In that day
our girls will not be girls any more. 4
lew of these yovng men are in Wash
ingtOn, but very few, hardly enough to
go around. Consequently, a girl who
goes into society encounters the peril of
not finding many stimulating minds
among her younger comrades. And
there are perils of O'clock teas, ruin
Gus to digestion. and always the peril of
confounding the cakes and candies of
life with its roast beef 'iSociety" is SO
fascinating that girls are in danger of
forgetting that it is refreshment and
rest, not steady work,

The Graceful Structure That
Looms Up as the Pride Of
Paris,
And Has Become Generally
Held the Worlds Eighth
Wonder.
How the Remarkable Stpuet-
ure Was Designed and
Erected.
Some Comparisons That Show
the Wonderful Height

The French exposition to be held in
Paris this summer promises to exceed
IN magnitude, interest and variety of
features all previous attempts of this
kind. And of all things to be seen in
the French capital this summer it is GER
tain that none will attract greater at
tention or excite more discussion than
the enormous tower projected by NJ.
Eiffel and already nearly completed.
In this tower the great French en-
gineer realizes the dream of a certain
M. Cabillet, who, as far back as 1915,
planned a tower of similar height to be
made of stone. In placing before the
public this scheme, which was never
realized, M. Cabillet issued a short
pamphlet. in which he advanced many
reasons in support of his enterprise,
and in his attempt to prove that the
tower would be literally patron
lied by the public he said: Gwen
our ladies who for the past quarter of a
century have been amusing themselves
by riding on roller coasters, which lead
to nothing and leave no souvenir, would
not be the last to avail themselves of an
opportunity to be transported to an
enormous height where they could COM
fortably behold the rising and the setting
of the sum-" From 1915 until the present
decade the idea of a great tower re-
NAMED dormant, and it remained for
the famous civil engineer, backed both
by the government and by private CAPT
tai. to push the scheme to completion.
So much interest, indeed, did the work
excite throughout all France that M. de
Lesseps, who was then struggling tooth
and nail with his colossal Panama bub-
BILE. induced M. Eiffel to identify him
self with the canal as contractor

name,

A DAY In SPRING.

What day yesterday was. The first real
and tangible evidence Of the sweet season of
summer. A warm wind that on its wings
bore legions of the spirits of spring, and that
kissed back into life the verdure that had
yielded to the chill caress of a northwestern
winter; chinook that carried out of the at
mosphere the last lingering trace of lifelong
season of cold, and brought the first har-
binger of that sumptuous summer in which
the Northwest finds recompense for ALL
None but true Northwesterner can appre
ciate the eXhilarating influences of the firsl
breath of summer that come on such a
cloudess day as yesterday. 1t changes the
whole aspect of life. With one touch every
recollection of winter vanishes and with one
day the steel blue of the heavens gives way
and no Italian sky could rival the soft deep
azure of the dome that bends over Minnesota

With an impulse all the beauties of sum
mer leap into life. The breeze one moment
carries the suggestion of the ripping waves
that wrinkle the surface of White Bear, and
one can feel the refreshing air that plays
hide-and-seek across Manitou, now heating
in the bright sun that touches every ripple
to gold and then cooling in the leafy depths
of the encircling border of forest There is
the hay languor of summer, and the soft
fragrance of the ocean is in the air, with it's
suggestion of the East and its watering
places; of moonlit beaches: of darkened
serenades, fecked with the light that pours
from ball rooms where low voices are not
disturbed by the strains of music that float
out to meet and mingle with the dash of the
surf
