Two divorces were granted yesterday, one
of them about the quickes on record for the

AMEs IN POLITICS AGAIN.
The Ex-Mayor Will Be a Candi-
date for Mayor.
Dr. a. 4. Ames is in politics again.

Dr. A. A. Ames is in politics again.
It's an impossibility, you say? Not bit of
it. 1t is a fact 1t is fact that is, with one
qualification. Dr.. a. A. Ames will be in pol
itics when the proper time arrives. AS soon
as the candidates for places in the city gov
eminent begin to sprout, look out for doc. -
He will be in it. and in it 10 stay.
For two years now DR.. Ames has been
keeping very quiet. He has attended strictly
to business and has not mixed up with the
politicians. lie has let the other fellows go
on with their schemes. and he has kept his
skirts clear of them entirely. tie has double
purpose in view i'll so acting. lie wanted to
let them see how they could manage politics,
and he wanted to keep clear of all entangling
alliances, which he foresaW might become a
necessity were he to show any sort of polit-
ical activity. But the summer approaches,
and the time is almost ripe for his appear
ance. He is now stronger, mentally aud
physically, than he has been for years, the
people who are closest to HIM say, and he
was never in better shape to try his fortunes
in the political field.
What Office is he after? What should it be
but the one he has held before for many
years? He wants to be mayor of Mnneapo-
lis. He thinks there is a demand for him,
and he will comply with the demand. A
good deal has been said i'll criticism OF AmeS
in the past four years. He wants to dem on
strate in spite of the prophecies OF the wise
acres that he retains all of his old-time
power to win popularity. He has many times
and oft been written down as a dead cock in
the political pit. He wants TO show the peo-
pie who have so written HIM down that he is
about the liveliest corpse that ever worried a
political coroner in this part Of the country.
And so Ames will be in the fight for the
mayoralty. That is settled fact He may
be in it to such an extent that three-cor
nered fight will be precipitated but he will
be in it. He has determined to run indie
pendently if not nominated regularly in con-
vention. He will prove to be a large, healthy
factor in the politics Of Minneapolis during
the coming campaign.

that not one would be able 10 answer
you correctly without first consulting Il
book of reference.
The fact is that the date varies more
than a month, though many years clapse
between the widest variations. 1t is
possible for Easter to come as early as
| the 22d Of March. and it may come rs
late as the 25th Of April. In 1856,
Easter fell on the 25th OF April, but it
will not again come SO late as that until
the youngest reader OF these lines shall
be old enough to be grandrarents-il
1913.
The moons monthly journey around
the earth is the foundation of the ccccn-
trio Easter dates, just as the carth's q an
nual excursion around the sun causes
the trouble that necessitates leap years.
Easter is simply a Christian adap;e-
ton of the Jewish Passover. The word
Easter dates back farther than the time
OF tho religious observances that now
characterize it. The Anglo Saxon name
ot April was EasterMOnatE, meaning the
month OF tho spring morning. or the sun
warmth, which awakened Nature from
its winter torpidity. The early Chris
tians adopted this idea of Natures s
spring awakening to typify the resurrec-
1t to comm. morate the events connected
with the escape of their people from
Egyptian bondage
But the antipathy Of the Christians
toward the Jews in thos" early days led
them to make an attempt to have the
Easter obscrvances always fall on dates
other than those that commemorat ID
the Passover. The system that We now
have for fixing the Easter date is due to
that attempt. After as much thought
ana calculation as was given to
the tinkering of the calendar a COM
plet, plan was adopted, and here is an
attempt TO make it more intelligiblc in a
few words:
1t was determined, in the first place,
that Easter must invariably fall on the
first Sunday after the fourt, cnth day of
the moon that happens to be rcigning at
verbal equinox time. Then it was de-
clared that the date Of the equinox
should be arbitrarily made March u,
although the equinox really comes
sometimes little earlier or a little later
than the 21st. For example, suppo.e
the equinox moon is just fourteen days
old on the 21st of March, and that this
day falls on Saturtlay-then the next
day, Sunday. would fill the condition
noted above, and consequently be
Easter.
OF course you can readily perceive
that so early an Faster date can very
rarely occur. The Christian Easter was
originallya sort of thanksgiving service,
lasting eight days. This conforned
somewhat to the length Of time devoted
by pagans to their spring festivities,
and approached the duration OF the Jew-
ish paschal obscrvances. The eight
day period was afterwerd cut down to
three days, after that to two, and finally
it became as we have it now, day COM

DO you see that tall, spare man lean
ing against the rail over therc?" said
James Vance, steward Of the Ath-
enian Club, to San Francisco Examiner
man. We'll, I'll tell you little yarn
in which he played an amusing part
Some years ago Haqsvettc & Hagycman,
of the Crystal Palace saloon, got in q
big safe, all gorgeous with paint and
glorious with impossible landscapes. Err
nest Haquette was very proud of it. and
in his bustling, eager way would show
1t to old patrons of the place, expatiat-
ing upon its merits.
"One evening he was engaged in show
ing a party of gentlemen the wonders of
the safe, and ran on: NO burglar could
ever get into that, Itell you. He couldn t
open it in week. It's the safest safe
In this town, for money
'Oh, don't know about that said
that tall man, who was tn. leaning on
the bar, just as he is now leaning On the
rail. I don't think it's so safe.
This startled Haquette u little. No
one had ever questioned that safe before
in that offhand way. He flushed little,
while the stranger regarded him nom
chalantly. Haquettc felt nettled, and
at last blurted out:
ii put 5000 In that safe, and If you
can get 1t out in six hours you can have
it. Axes, iimmies, and all tools are al
lowed, but dynamite is barred

"The tall man got down on his knees.
put an ear against the safe where the
tumblers work, and began turning tho
knob of the combination. He didn't saw
word. but steadily clicked away. HaG-

I'm twentythree minutes the safe was

nOthin' to US. Come. I'm goin'."
Noiselessly the barefooted waits
climbed the stone steps and crossed the
vestibulc, and at last slipped inside the
audience lO)m.
Awed and half dazed, they hugged the
wall tightly.
The church was very full, and people
were standing all around the entrance.
Near the children was deep window
seat, banked with the choicest flowers.
Mary was the first to spy it, and she
tugged at her sisters dress, and pointed
to the b. autiful sight. Betty gazed in
rapture, her lips formed into an "Oh!
which she dared not utter.
Then sweet, far-away music, that drew
nearer and nearer, claimed their atten-
ton.
Soon they saw, coming through n door
way at the right of the altar, process
sion Of white-rohei boys, singing as
they came. Betty and Mary had never
in all their lives heard such music be-
fore, and they wero sorry when it
stopped.
A man in white robe began to speak,
but they did not understand what he
was talking about, SO they looked at the
flowers aad the people, but the flowers
most of all
Their eyes rested longest on great
cross of blossoms in front of the altar
rail, and they wished they could go near
to it.
After little chairs were brought in
for the people near the entrance, and a
kind man gave the children scat,
which they shared between them, their
arms around each other.
1t was long service that Easter af-
ternoon, but it was SO beautiful to Betty
and Mary that they never thought Of
going. Almost the last thing that took
place made these two look on with very
wistful eyes. 1t was the taking apart
Of the beautiful cross of flowers. The
and these were distributed among the
children of the Sunday school.
At last it was all over, the white
robed boys had gone as they came, and
the people were going away.
Let's stay an see 'em go BY" whis-
pered Betty.
Thus it happened that as Miss Bar
nard's class of six little girls were pass
ing out of the church they saw two
ragged, barefOoted children shyly ewing
them and their flowers.
Sweet Lily Stone was ahead, and with
out an instant's hesitation she placed
her own bouquet in Mary's hand. Tina
Gray was close behind, and with smile
she rendered her flowers to Betty. The
other four, not to be outdone by their
leaders, gave their flowers to the little
strangers, and when Miss Barnard came
up she found Betty and Mary with
flushed, beaming faces. hardly knowing
what to do or what to say.
The young teacher gave her class one
glance Of loving approval, and then
turned to the two children, who were
still lingering their flowers with intense
rapture.
She asked their names and where thew
lived; she found out that their mother
was i'll in bed, and that their father did
little to make them happy, and when she
left them she promised to 20 and see
them soOn.
This promise was more than fulfilled,
and Betty and Mary found in Miss Bar
nard one of the best and kindest friends,
Amt you glad we went in that Sun
day?" said Mary.
Yes, guess I am," said Betty; "and
do think, Mary, churches and church
folks is lulliy.
