MILLERS' TRUST BREAKS.
The Big Millers Utterly Disregarded
Its OBLIGATIONS.

Chicago, Sept "A Tribune special
from Milwaukee says:
The big millers' trust known as the
Spring Wheat Nillers' Combine of the
Northwest, has closed up shop and is
out of business. 1t went out of ex-
istence as noiseIessly as it came into
the world.
The combine, which was formed sole
ly for the purpose of regulating the
prices of flour, failed of accomplishing
its object because Of the perfdy of the
large millers, who cut prices indiscrim-
inateIy whenever they felt like it, be-
ing perfectly willing to pay the fine i'm
posed by the combine for selling under
the scale every time there was a good
sized order in sight.
All of the miIlers of the northwest,
with the exception of Faist, Kraus &
Co. OF this city, were in the combine.
Each one signed the trust articles of
agreement, paid into the treasury a tax
of one cent per barrel on each barrel
of flour manufactured by his mill as a
a guarantee that he would not sell -four
below the fixed price of the trust.
A meeting of the trust was held on
Tuesday at Minneapolis, the books
were closed and the funds divided
among those members in good stand
ing The miI1ers pledged themselves
never again to enter into a combine to
maintain prices.

had seemed glorious thing in connec ton with the poor old mother, who had wept over the loss of sight and hearing and teeth. But the baby Who could stand beside little bit of a grave like that and be satisfied and thankful Tn re- gard to the ressurrection? Not Mary Tyler, certainly.
 ''Why couldn' the Lord a-taken her ?'' Mrs. Tyler stood in the door of her little cottage; her eyes were gazing down the road as she strained her ears to catch the sound of child's voice sobbing.
 Its Idy's baby you mean?" Pete rose from the wooden chair by the table and also came to the door "It's hard for a little child to have no mother"
 ''No mother and no one that wants it, no one a-livin' that wouldn't be grateful ef the Lord he'd a-talen it." muttered Mrs. Tyler; "but He sent fer mine Pete Tyler, tell you there's some'n n harder'n hevin' no mother, they's little and they don't know; but fer mother to hev no child"
 Pete went back to his chair, for what words of comfort could he offer? She wouldn't hear of going to church; she wouldn't listen to any talk of the far-off resurrection. She wanted her baby close in her arms. She wanted it's morning kiss, she wanted to rock it to sleep at nights.
 70 Lord, give her back to meln sobbed the woman in the doorway. She had thrown her apron over her head and was leaning heavily against the frame. "Give her back to me. Lord!"
 "That ain't a-doin' no good,' said the man, soothingly.
 Lord, let me believe in the resurree- tion." cried the woman, hysterically; "fer I quit a-believin' when I put the lilies on her grave"
 Don't" said Pete, huskily. "When you hear 'em sipgin' it'll all come back g

HOW EASTER DAY IS FIXED

It has been over 1, 800 years since the rule was adopted which makes Easter the first Sunday after the first full moon after the sun crosses the line ; Py this arrangement of things, Easter may come as early as March %, or as late as April 9, but must forever osciI- late between the dates mentioned.
 The word Easter is said to be from the German ''oster," (rising), and is the Christian passover or festival of the resurrection of Christ. The English name for the day is probably derived from that of the old Teutonic goddess Osten, whose festival occurred at about the same time as our celebration of Easter. The proper time for celebrat- ing the festival was 8 theme which gave rise to much heated discussion among early Christians. The question was fully considered and finally settled at the council of Nice, 325 A. D., by adopt ing the rule which makes it fall upon the first Sunday after the first full moon occurring after March 21. During the present century Easter has fallen from one to four times on every date be- tween March 22 and April 25, except March 24, which has been skipped en- tirely.

 She came in then and shut the door. She went to work and cooked the sup per. She put it on the table and seated herself behind the steaming teapot; but she did not eat.

 Mrs Tyler shook her head.
 Let me give you a bit of the toast. Folks must eat fer to live"
 "I can't eat said the woman. After awhile the bell will ring agin. After awhile the people will git out of their beds and hurry so's to be in time."
 Not until near mornin'," said Pete. reassuringly. "The bell won't ring no more now till it rings fer-fer the resur- rection."
 ''Fer the hymn in the graveyard '' acquiesced the woman. "Pete, Pm sunno tell you some'n. I'm gunno sit up all night and pray, kneel there at the winder and look out at the grave yard and pray.

 "Mebbe as I'll hev her in my arms when I hear the singin'.'
 All the sadness had gone from Mary Tyler; there was jubilant light in her eyes. ..Mebbe when you come out from the bedroom, Pete, you'll see me siItin' there a-cuddlin' her little feet up in my lap.

A FRENCH EASTER CUSTOM.
The Children Search Through House and
 Garden for the Easter Eggs.

Oarden TOT the Easter Eggs.
 At Easter the French maiden, fa- vored by friend or sweetheart, does not find her gifts at the breakfast place or handed to her with the morning coffee, but instead she has to search for the treasures. They are hidden in all man ner of curious places. Little French children have great fun over this GUS tom. The kind mamma usually re- ceives all the pretty gifts which come, and with wonderful ingenuity places them in places of which the small son or daughter will think of probably after all hope has been given up. The pigeon-hole of desk makes excellent hiding places for basket of sugar eggs, the drawer of seldom used bureau may secrete a fat Easter rabbit, it's paws clasping a candy egg filled with sugar plums. The napkin at breakfast may make good cover for a painted eggshell. The De Lesseps children, of whom there were 13, were always very active on Easter morning, rising with the dawn. One year the brilliant dis play of costly eggs were int1usted to the gardener of their house in Paris. The house, which was on the Avenue Montaigne, was not an extensive one, but it's garden had great number of large flower bushes and had high hedge of laurel and hawthorne. The gardener did his work we'll, and a more animated scene than that of he little De Lesseps scuttling around the garden after their treasures could not be imag- ined.
 If I recollect rightly, all the eggs which had been especially bought or sent as gifts to the children were wrapped in tissue paper and marked s"Toto," Madeline" etc, and the child who found one which did not belong to him or her carefully replaced it so as not to spoil the fun for the real owner. A number of ordinary eggs, simply gilded, silvered or colored, were hidden which belonged to anyone who might search well. A beautiful egg basket which was full of sweets was found dangling gracefully to d branch | of lilac bush, the loose earth around the newly planted pansies hid three satin egg boxes wrapped in tissue pa- per, empty flower pots were treasure stores for sweets and the hydrangeas' l broad leaves covered multitude of beautiful presents. while even live Easter rabbit was found cunningly concealed by two heads of lettuce, which lay on top of his lattice box. This is an amusing and pretty custom which would cause much amusement among Amer ican children.-N. Y. Ad- l vcrtisey.

JOY ooMETH IN THE MORNING

'Tis in your heart. beloved, that the Easter
 morning breaks. Your slumbering consciousness of love
 with thrilling joy awalSesi Your thought goes out minister of good
 to heal and bless The suffering and desolate who need your
 tenderness. yTis in your heart, beloved, that the Easter
 lilies bloom, The sweet flowers of affection whose in
 cense cheers the gloom; Go forth and spill their fragrance, what
 ever wind may blow, The lilies of Ascension thro' all the years
 must grow. Iris from your heart, beloved, that the
 stone is rolled away, The Life for all men given pulses in your
 life to-day; The banners of loves marching hosts are
 to t..e breeze unfurled, And the dawn-light of the Kingdom is
 streaming down the world. Ring out the bells, beloved, the joyous
 Easter bells, Celestial harmony along their cadence
 rolls and swells, The blessed Christ is risen Tn the hearts
 that throb and thrill Responsive to loves law wherein we may
 all laws fulfill. Annie L. Muzzey, in Youths Companion
