The Kings Lilies.

These little workers, now NUM-
bering eighteen, are treading the
paths their mothers trod. They
pay two cents a week into the
treasury, and have been in eX-
istence only about six months.
With the mite thus saved they
made some worthy Easter offer
ings. Eleven Of them, chaper-
oned by Mrs. VOORHEES, and Mrs.
Pew, went i'll a body to see the
venerable Judge Richard A.
who has been confined to his
room for some weeks, and pre-
senting their bright faces gave
him blooming heliOtrOpe to
grow for his daily pleasure. To
Mrs. Henrietta Craig, confirmed
invalid, they took a growing,
blooming hyacinth. To Mrs.
Winston, in honor of her giving
the first donation to their order,
they took a vase of pretty cut
flowers. Then to the Infrmary
they went with the gifts men
toned in Aunt Jeans letter.

InIirmary, Easter, Donations,
Entertainments. Home Of
the FriendlcsS

Easter tide is here with its many
beautiful instances of self-denial,
noble acts for the Master who
gave His all, Himself, for us.
This, the high festival Of the
spring time, was celebrated in
all its rapture Of praise and
thanksgiving. The church was
dressed in an exquisite and elab-
crate manner, the younger hands
giving willing help to older ones.
The music was of the joyous,
uplifting order, and the services
throughout were in glorious
honor of the anniversary.
Our House Beautiful is near
ing completion. Nine new
rooms will soon be ready for OC-
cupants. Two little boys are
among the patients now. The

to read greatly enjoy the books

zines from works of fiction,

ply Of old linen. Mrs. DR..
Henry sent two invalid chairs
and one foot rest; Major A. c.

los. Preston, the little lame boy,
and Brussels pad for his CrutCh;
also old flannel and bundle of
infants clothes for the first baby
born at the Infrmary. 1t was
the thirteenth Of its family, and
the little thing, born feeble, soon
went out of a world which, per-
haps, promised but meager joys
for its future earthly career.
Three grape vines were also sent
by Mrs. Dudley. This is the
season for planting and garden
ing, and all outdoor contribu-
tons are most welcome.

every day at the Republican
Club Room. This beautiful eX-
hibition will be given at the
Opera House about the 10th of

enthusiastic in helping the In

THE HOME OF THE FRIENDLESS
Looks so continuously peaceful,
and the inmates pursue so stead
ily the even tenor of their way
that it looks from month to
month as if one had just stepped
out for a moment and back
again. Aunt Patsy and Mother
Steele sat is their rocking chairs,
each in her own corner, but with
folded hands. eve haven't any

"Do you see any umbrellas
up?" asked blind Mother Steele
of her aged companion. eyes, a

faded old eyes peered into the
street. "There's been heap o
rain this .month." And thus
they sit, only waiting till the
shadows are little longer grown,
but with hands ready to work
while they wait.

Large Number OF Bills Reportsd--A Blow
mt the N lprs Trust.
The house devoted Wednesday to reports
from committees. The committees on
judiciary and rights and privileges had
the right of way and thew sent many bills
to the Legislative bone-yard.
Mr.. Oppenheim offered the following
resolution, which was adopted without
opposition. The republicans were taken
by surprise and did not know what to do:
Whereas sec. 56i4 OF the revised statutes
OF Indisna makes IL the duty OF the governor
OF the state. whenever in his opinion the pub.
lie interest requires IL, Ito appoint some COM
petent and trustworthy accountant OF the

of my county have not had money enough
10 pay their taxes"
In reply 70 a question he said that in
his own township $1,000 was used IN 1888
to buy votes. In 1880 $1,000 was
used. and In 1886 about 81
500. The people always relied
upon this source of revenue to pay their
taxes and buy Christmas preNentS ior their
children. Bot the Australian cal,ot sys-
TEN had deprived them OF this income.
For this reason he did not believe that the
people out there could pay their road tax.
In his own township there ere 80 voters,
1914 of whom had been reliable t1o1ters. ne
fore the new law, and their election III
comes ranged from SO to 500 EACH AT
the last election not dollar was sent 10
the townships, and consequently many
children went without their Christmas
gifts He predicted that the next tax de-
linouent list of Orange county would be
increased fifteen per cent. in consequence
of the application of he Australian ballot
last fall. Mr.. T'rinble is minister OF the
gospel, and of course il glad to see that
Doodle elections will never reoccur IN
Grange county.
Mr. Tippen's natural-gas bill also came
back TO the house with an adverse report,
but alter long speech the gentiemanirom
Tipton saved his bill by having it recon-
mitied. 1t provides that land owners shall
not sink gas wells within 60l feet of their
lines There were two men in Upton who
owned one-quarter of an acre each and
they were drawing gas from the subterane--
an pools OF adjoining lands An arm OF the
Standard oil company had leased the tour
corners OF 400 acres of land and were also
drawing gas from adjoining heids by SINK
ing wells near the corners.
Mr. Farlow said that such practice had
been the cause OF many poor men beng
frozen out by gas mLnopolles IN
Madison county. Mr.. niagara
believed that gas was confined in pools
and 10 one could tell from which direo-
ton wells drew gas.
Late in the afternoon the committee on
education was reached and Mr.. Deyden
reported large number of. bills back adj
verse Y. Mr.. Guthrie's bill for free text
books was among the number and
the republicans made o vigorous kick
against the report, but by a strict party
vote the committee was sustained. Messrs.
Beasley and Higgins completely demol-
| ished the advocate of the free book sys-
| tenn. Mr.. Higgins showed that the life of
a school book is three wears, but If they
were free they would not iast year.
Mr.. Beasley took the report of the state
superintendent and showed that it would
| cost the state million and a half dollars
annually to support free book system.
Moreover, it would not be fair to tax
| large class of people who sent their chill
| dren to parochial schools.
