Somewhere underneath the sky,
While the summer winds pass by,
Fed by sunshine, soil and rain
Springs and grows the ripening grain
That with wheaton bread shall feed
Thee and thine In time of need,
While thou toilest, heavy hearted,
AS if hope and thou were parted.
Some stout hand the burrows made,
And the seed within them laid,
And some watehful eye took care
Lest from out the earth or air
Weed or winged or creeping creature
To the toll shonld bring defeature.
God and man the wheat have tended,
And from drought and deluge Tended.
By some river, never still,
Stands the dusty, hurrying mill
That shall grind thy grain to flour,
Waiting now the day and hour.
Somewhere ship and train are keeping
Room for it. While thou art sleeping
They may bring their freight a-nigh thee,
But thy own will not pass by thee.
Is it we'll to sigh and fret
When Gods workmen all are set
Each at his own task for thee
And his messengers will be
All SO fleet and free, Transmitting
Treasure for thy benef1ting?
Naught can hinder or evads him
Sun, earth, seas, he has to aid him.

AN IMPREssIVE PETIT70N-

AN IMPRESSIvE PETITION.
1t is not often that such list of sieners
to petition is seen as that printed on
another page of this paper this morning.
In 1t are many of the most prominent and
weighty names Of Connecticut. The sign
ers are impressed with the gravity of the
situation, and they were glad to give their
aid to the movement against the pool
rooms. They know that these rooms are
robbing the State, breeding poverty and
crime and tempting and demoralizing the
young. They want to see them closed and
they are looking to the legislature to do it's
full duty In the matter.
This notable petition will be Influential.
1t shows the feeling and the opinion which
exist in all parts of the State. The list of
signers will be read with great interest by
all, including the members of tbs legisla-
ture, who are wide awake to the situation.
If the legislators needed any morsevidence
that the people are IN earnest in this mat
ter this will furnish 1t.

1ouno; while from April 4, 1891, to May
IA, 1892, the number was SO. .760 In the
autumn season. from October 1, 1891, to
January 1, 1892, the number of egg clus.
tors found was 81 ,632. while from ostobe,
1, 1892, to January 1, 1898, only 8, ,4O7 were
| found.
An interesting comparison of the literary
output of 1892 with that of the year 1900,
| in proportion to the estimated number of
readers then and now, has been prepared
by the author. It is baeed on the compu
tation that there are four times as many
readers now as in 1900 On this basis the
| only really revolutionary change shown is
in the number of new novels, though there
has been an increase along other lines.
There has been an increase In Theology
and Sermons" and in "History and Biog-
raphy;" there hss besn an increase in
books Educational, Classical, Philologi-
call" and still moro in "Voyages and
Travels" carts, Sciences and illustrated
Works" would seem to have diminished,
while claw, Medicine and Poetry" have
diminished to far greater extent. Nov
els, on the other hand, have multiplied
enormously. The actual number of new
novels in 1900 was 49, The number in
1892 was 1,147. The number of novels
written and not published, as shown by
testimony from prominent publishing
houses, Is startling. The judgment of the
experts, based on the number of works ex-
aminej, is that of amateur novelists only
about three in every hundred manage to
get their works printed.
sIndian john" an aged Columbia River
Indian, was recently committed to the
county poor farm near Portland, Oregon.
According to the testimony of pioneers he
is the Oldest Indian in the Northwest, his
age being placed at more than 1876 years.
Deputy District Attorney Hall, who has
been q resident of Portland thirty five
years, Gays that when he first knew ssIn-
dian John" he was reputed to bs at least
100. He was always friend of the white
men. It is related that when DR.. Whit
man was murdered at Walla Walla, and
the Indians talked of attacking Portland,
John WAS one of those who left The Dalles,
went to the city. and warned the settlers
to be prepared for raid. John, whose
mind is still clear, relates the following
story: ''Many years sgo before became
chief of the Columbia River Indisns, my
tribe was saved from destruction in re-
markable manner. One day the Klicki-
tats came down into their lands and
oamped in bottom under vast, over
hanging cliff near the Sandy bridge. Ny
tribe were few In number, but brave.
They would not fly and could not fight
their enemies, who were very numerous.
So during the night they appealed to the
Great Spirit to destroy their enemies, and
In answer to their prayers he felled the
rock and the Kuokitats were burisd be-
meath it. Not man escaped"

THE STORY OF THE EASTER EGGS

THE STORY oE THE EASTER EGGS
Here is pretty legend, as told by Lille
Hamilton French:
When Jesus of Nazareth was cruci6ed, as
you all know, Joseph of Arimathea would
not permit the body to be buried in pot
ter's field, but would have 1t placed in his
own new tomb, the mouth of which he had
closed with great stone.
The legend Is that near to the tomb grew
foliage and blue fowert, and that deep in
anong the leaves and branches there was
the nest Of fair and lovely singing bird.
The nest, 1t is said, was bordered with
exquisite green moss, and in 1t lay four eggs,
ivory white. Sitting upon these, the bird
could look into the tomb, and it is told
| that when she saw the pale face, which had
lately suffered so much, her heart nearly
broke with emotion. She raised Fad note
her toul in q song.
| The moon rose, and still che sang.
Clearer, stronger, higher the wild, mourn
| full dirRe poured forth, till it seemed to be
the grief of the world rising to heaven.
An angel. heard and listened and came
down, white and shining In spotless robe
The angel rolled the stone away, and the
Crueifed One arose in his burial clothes,
brilliant with celestial radiance that seemed
| to obliterate all traces of the sufferings of
the Son OF Msn. He came forth to the
mouth of the tomb to return with his Wis.
itor on high. The little bird, singing all
the time, was moved with this strange but
glorious transformation till her song was
one of pure delight. 'Fis satd no bird
before or since has sung SO sweet song Of
joy.
And the angel, pausing at the mouth Of
| the cavern, looked into the depths of the
beautiful tree. He rested his gaze upor
the bird, and blessed her, blessed her eggs
and her nest. And her eggs then became
golden red, and yellow, and green an6
blue. That Was nearly two thousand year.

also said they had discovered GER

that all may know of it we publish

mix the arsenic and molasses we'll
together, add water enough to make
the meal into thin batter and scat.
