very positive on this point. He told me
that when a poor boy he had been
greatly aided and cheered by an unex-
pectcd gift at Easter time, and so
sacred did il become to him that he set
aside a fund to be given every year at
Easter to some needy child. In his
will he directs his executors to do the
same. To him Easter was a season of
even deeper Joy and more sacred re
membrane than Christmas, and he
always cele brated il"
Il understand" said the young lady,
s.but how is the child to be found?
Poor deserving boys are not always
found when wanted"
1.-The choice is left to your wisdom,
and in this large town you a hardly
fail to find some one who would merit
the gift"
..And meantime it is growing dark,
and | must mol detain you further. If
Won hear of an interesting protege let
me know. ! confess to being puzzled
and helpless in the matter. Easter IS
close at hand" And Miss Wraye
stepped lightly out and into the wait
ing carriage.
1T was Just like Uncle john" she
said TO herself. as the swift .orses bore
her homeward. Ito appoint me one of
.he executors, because / need to know
business details, then to appoint DIR.

The Red Cloud chief., 1892-04-15

But not ' the rich pages could
divert Edith's thoughts from the
problem which waited solution. Days
passed and Easter drew near. but who
should receive the check which lay in
Judge Oldham's care was unknown.
Meanwhile, in the outskirts of the
town, among the circle of patients
whom the young physician treated ''for
love and practice" as he laughingly
remarked, lived the boy who was to
obtain the Easter gift. And nobody
knew it. Certainly not three-year-old
Dot. who filled the poor home with
sunshine; not Dots mother, who sup
ported her family by working in a
bakery: not Miss Wraye in her home
on the hill: not Judge Oldham, inn
mersed in business. and certainly not
Donald, as he cried his papers on the
street, and ran whistling home to
amuse Dot by wonderful shadow pic
lures of birds aud beasts of sturdy
Scotch character, Donald sold papers,
ran errands for the bakery. and tried
hard t earn money enough to admit
him TO the polytechnic school where
his father had planned to place him.
Thus the time few away, until the
very last week of the Lenten season
opened, when Miss Wraye found her
protege: DIR. Barre learned something
of his co-executor, and Donald and Dot
were let into what they thought TO be
fortunes fairyland.
And all in such a simple, common
place way. A certain variety of brown
bread was ordered for Mrs. Wraye,
and Donald took it up from the bakery.

THIS PUZZLE ABOUT EASTER.

Why the lay We Celebrate chrIst'a Res.

Not one person in ten cSn tell you
why it is that Christmas, tie day cele.
brated as Christ's birthday, always
falls on the same day Of sthe month,
while Easter, the day upoS which we
celebrate His r~esnrrec,.4h, changes
every year. In giving ii solution of
this riddle the first poi ito be consid.
cred is this: Christ was srucifed Fri.

month Nissan, and rose f bm the grave

day of Nissan was the Jewish 'sPass.

commemoration of Il a sprinkliup Of
their d~oorposts with tnf blood of the
paschal lamb on the night when the
destroying angel" p&ssed over the
dwellings of the Isrlaites. but smote
the first born of the E&yptians. As the
year of the jews is aQlunar wear, and
the fourteenth of E&an is always a
full o day, the Christian church,
regarding the obseryknce of the cruel
fiXion of Christ as asubstitute for the
old Passover of 1he Jews, deter.
mined Easter by thsfules for reckon
ing the Jewish ecclesiastical year.
Christmas lntende5tto commemorate
h birth of Christ, had no connection
with the ritual OF TIE old church, and,
like dozens of othsf immovable feast
days of the churchfof Rome, many OF
them birthdays of aints, It was finally
settled that it shC(d be observed on .
given day of the common calendar.
Coming down u the word itself,
Easter" is from bhe German ''Ostern"

gave rise to many heated discussions
the early days of Christianity.
The question was fully considered and
finally settled by the council of Nice
in the year 325 by adopting the rule

March 81. by this arrangement Easter
may come as early as March q or as
late as April 2a-St Louis Republic.

the will is very definite. l Imagine You
will have little difficulty in carrying
out his wishes" With these words the
.octor bowed and left the Office, leav-
ing Miss Wraye standing by the win
dow. A perplexed look rested on her
~high-bred face, and a touch of impa-
thence was felt in her tone.
Really" she began-"l-Judge Old
ham. will you be kind enough to state
the case again."
Certainly. Pray be seated. Your
uncle, Miss Wraye, the late judge, was

lara What can they know about
Easter, and what would they do with
such a sum? fear it will be utterly
thrown away
Even the frosty air, the rapid motion
and the greeting of friends failed to
bring back her usual sweet expression.
Not till she entered the library where
her invalid mother lay. was a smile
brought to Miss Wraye's lips.
"Well, little mother, has it been q
long afternoop?" she asked, with q
kiss
1T is always long when you are
away" was the answer, as the invalid
smiled back into the winsome face
abov her. did you see the Judge,
and what does DR.. Barre say"
Ives, / saw Judge Oldham and am
in a greater quandary than ever. And
DIR. Barre is evidently determined to
let me do everything. As he is one
of the executors l think he might do
the execution. He knows / dislike
business details of this sort But let
me ring for tea, then we can talk more
comfortably"
In her " home among her especial
friends, Edith Wraye was bright and
sociable to a degree not realized by
those who knew her only as the heir
ess of her uncle's great wealth, and
who found her a trifie distant and re-
served. None called her proud. She
was too sweet-tempered for that, but
mere acquaintance had no conception
of h sunny nature which filed her
mothers life with gladness. Only one,
perhaps, and he did not reveal his
thoughts. The recent death of Judge
Farley, Mrs. Wraye's brother, and the
Edith free to devote her time to her
mother until the approach of Easter
brought new perpleXities
That evening the afternoons story
was rehearsed.
why did uncle choose to have me
take charge of this matter, mother? l
don't i'm the least know how to set
about it. Am l to go canvassing the
courts and back alleys IN search of the
destined youth? Or advertise? That
would undoubtedly bring plenty of
answers. And what a a child do
with SO large a sum? 1t would not
have to him any significance as an
Easter gift such as uncle felt"
No, daughter, you can hardly ex-
pect that. But ought not these chill
dren to know the meaning of Easter?
Surely it is as important as Christmas,
and if, through this wish of your uncle,
you can lead some one of these poor
children to a better as well as a hap
pier life, / know you will not mind
any care or anxiety"
NO, mother dear, of course not. I
don't really mean to be cross. Just now
/ am thinking of the disagreeableness
ofthe affair. DR.. Barre has to give his
Judgment. and he doesn't, and Judge
Oldham didn't help me a bit They
seem determined to let me gang my
ain gait and if matters are misman-
aged they will say it's just like 4
woman"
You cannot think that of our old
friend, the judge, and as for the doctor,
he has been too kind to me to let me
believe he would not do all in his pow
err to aid you in this"
THAT is it: he knows | am grateful
for all he has helped you, but somehow
l become antagonistic and spiteful
whenever l see him, and ! like him,
too. But come, let us read now. Here
is a magazine. What will you have?"
And the evening passed without
further discussion.

PATRIOTIC WILL MAKING.

A recent report of the British CON-
missioners for the reduction of the ma
tional debt reveals the interesting fact
that Englishmen have willed consider
able sums to their government, to be ap-
piled to the reduction of the debt.
Since 1910 something over $5.OOO,O0O
has thus found its way into the British
national coffers-$5, 1O2, ,277, to be exact.
OF this sum $3.50, 900 was received during
1890, the last year covered by the report.
We do not know whether our govern
ment has ever profited much in this
manner or not, but judging by the
notoriety given the circumstance when
little windfall drops into the treasury
it seems safe to infer that very little
money is received by the treasury, ex-
cept that which is collected In the form
of taxes and customs and the sale of
land, etc.
Yale College reports that it received
g., 200, 900 last year, and that a million
more is promised, which is a circum-
stance everybody will rejoice in. How
many scores Of millions are every year
given away by generous Americans, yet
none of it goes to the government.
Why might not patriotism be exhibit
ed in the making of wills as well as on
the field of battle, or on the political
rostrum?
This is question We can put without
any inconvenient anticipations, and
which we submit might well be consid-
cred by the multi-millionaires when
thew are testamentarily inclined.
