GLADNESS AFTER SADNESS.

After the winter, the spring; after
the snow, the sun and flowers; after
the sadness the gladness; after the
burial the resurrection; after the visit
to the tomb, that the Marys might
anoint their Lord, their return to an
nounce Him: HE is not here; He is
arisen. Behold the place where the
Lord layi"
The earth is growing green. The
gardens are yellow and purple and
white with the crocuses and hyacinths
and snowdrops. The woods are sweet
with arbutus, the meadows are starred
with cowslips, the rocks are white with
bloodroot and saxifrage, the copses are
purple with anemones and liverworts,
and the spring beauties hide in the
swamps. The aspen willow buds are
dusty with golden meal. The naples
are all a-bristling with their crimson
bloom. The magnolia and the for
sythia and the Judas tree, with their
wide-awake flowers bedecking the
brown stems, shame the sluggard foil
age. The earth is growing fair, the
robins and bluebirds have come home
again, and the swallows and orioles are
on their way. 1t is sweet to live, for it
is the season of the resurrection and the
life.
"The resurrection and the life -
Those are the words of nature and its
Lord. The Lenten sorrow is over. The
wintry torpor ends. Let US awake,
let US arise, let US be glad, let us be
strong that we may work! Christ
sleepeth no longer. Resurrection and
life are His words of activity, and words
of joy in activity. What a work Is
there all waiting for the Christian and
the MANN. Y. Independent.

Do the readers of these items of

the REGISTER, and what a man we
have as editor? The Topeka Capital
is probably the most popular paper
in Kansas and it quotes (editorially)
the lola REGISTER more than any
other paper in Kansas. The lecture
of the REGISTER to the "Men and
Brethren" of the Wichita convention
and the reply by NJ. M. Murdoch
through the Lawrence Journal are all
in last weeks Capital, and that issue
alone is well worth the price of q
years subscription. 1--WE build bet

charge of housebreaking
When One Lung. another Chinaman
who raises vegetables, entered his domi-
Gle at the corner of Third South and
Fifth West yesterday morning after hav-
ing made his usual round peddling his
wares, he encountered a strange brother.
Being satisfied that the intruder was
there for no legitimate purpose he de-
cided to call the police. This was no easy
matter for bluecoats seldom venture
outside the business district He quickly
saw way out of the dilemma however,
and securing two rocks stationed him
self at the door. Then he began to yell,
and the way he tested his lung power
would have done credit to a Provo base
bail coach The unearthly noise at
tracted the attention of neighbors who at
once came to investigate the cause of
the hideous disturbance When they got
over TO the shack One Lung was gong
through a series of motions and utter
ing something about a diam thief in
my house, The real situation was taken
IN and one of the spectators went in
search of policeman. In due time, Of
ficer Brown arrived on the scene. He
found Lung still at his post with rocks
in hand, guarding the culprit.
All is a stranger in town, at least SO
say the Cinnamon who know the whole
pig-tailed community in this city. They
believe he is recent arrival from San
Francisco, and one of the few profess
sional sneak thieves of his countrymen.
He will have a hearing before Judge
Wenger today.
