Mrs. Newbury looked at her usually

the reason for his refusal flashed upon
them and they all broke into laugh,

Rob. and then hastily made his escape.
Mr.. Newbury paid the rent and the
little account at the corner store; Mrs
Newbury, the butcher, the baker, the
coal man and the grocery man, while
Maud's heart was rejoiced by paying
Mrs. Peters for making her dress.
1t thus happened for the first time in
years that the Newburys were wholly
free from debt, and they confessed to
each other at night that this condition
of affairs had made them feel at least
an inch taller in stature, and sensibly
increased the capacity of their lungs.
Mr.. Newbury's work was at some dis
lance from his home, and he had been
accustomed to take his dinners at an
eating house.

Thy voice Is heard in the tumultuous rilis
That leap into the light:
Thy brow-freed from the thralldom the

Come in thy kingliest grace.
With glorious gifts undreamed-of for the

And where thy empires be
There wave the flags of freedom DER the

Wide swing thy door

Lift thou thy scepter-thy commanding

continental divide, some nine miles
northwest of1Lang,s Peak, in Northern
Colorado, the natural course for the
drop on the eastern incline would be
into the Cache Ia Poudre, into the
South Platte, and thence through the
Platte, the Missouri and the Misss-
sippi into the Gulf of Mexico. The
drop that fell on the west side would
naturally go into the North Fork Of the
Grande, and thence through the Grande
and the Colorado into the Gulf of Call
fornia. But the farmers and landown-
ers on the eastern slope Of the range
are not satisfied with the number Of
drops of water that come their way
and are proposing to fly in the face
of nature by kidnapping the upper
waters of the Grande, tnveigling them
over the continental divide, and down
the eastern slope to the alfalfa and
wheat lands in the valley of the Poudre.
If feasible 1t will be an excellent thing
to do, for in the valley of the Grande
there is more water than arabic land,
while in the valley of the Cache la
Poudre and the South Platte there is
more arabic land than water to irri-
gate it. Natures proofsheet seems to

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Eff
fectuaI Cure for II

Catarrh Of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable
The usual symptoms are a full or boat
ing sensation after eating accom-
panied sometimes with sour or Watery
risings, a formation Of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and lungs and
difficult breathing; headaches, tickle ap-
petite, nervousness and a general play
ed out langud feeling
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the interior
of the stomach could be seen it would
show a Shiny inf1amed condition.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To
secure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
According to DR. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal a tablet, composed of Diastase.
ASeptic PepSin, a little NuX Golden
| Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can
now be found at all drug stores under
the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and not being a patent medicine can
be used with perfect safety and assur-
ance that healthy appetite and thor
ough digestion will follow their regular
use after meals.
Mr.. N. j. Booher, Of 271O Dearborn
St., Chicago, ILL.,, writes: "Catarrh is
local condition resulting from a neg
lected cold in the head, whereby the
lining membrane of the nose becomes
infamed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom passing backward into the
throat reaches the stomach, thus pro-
ducing catarrh of the stomach. Medi-
cal authorities prescribed for me for
three years for catarrh of stomach
without cure, but today I am the hap
piest of men after using only one box
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. 1 cannot
find appropriate words to express my
good feeling. 1 have found flesh, ap-
petite and sound rest from their use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest preparation as we'll as the sim
plest and most convenient remedy for
any form of indigestion, catarrh of

MIR. sEYMoUR's ALLOWANCE
VIII ne Used to Offset His Bank Ac-
POnnt

The application of Receivers Light
ner and Seymour, of the Bank of Min
nesota, for an order of the court fix
ing their compensation was heard be-
fore Judge Otis at special term yes
terday. When the matter came be-
fore the court a week ago, a court
room full of depositOrs were on hand,
some of whom objected to the granting
of Receiver Seymour'S application for
an allowance of $3.50 a month, inasmucn
as he was indebted to the bank in the
sum of $23, 900 or Whereabouts. All save
about $1,000 of this Indebtedness Is Sc
cured.
Upon this occasion, however, though
there were some twenty attorneys in
attendance, no objections were inter
posed, except that one or two attOr-
neys suggested that the court limit the
time Of the allowance to the receivers
to reasonable period. At the conclu-
sion of the hearing the court ordered
that Receiver Lightner be allowed $3.50
a month on account from the date of
his appointment, Dec. %, 1896. for the
period of twelve months, subject to
any future modification as to the
amount the court may make.
The court ordered that Receiver Sey-
mour be allowed $3.50 a month from
Feb. %, 1897. The amount due him
for the first two months is to be all
of it applied to his unsecured indebt-
edness to the bank, amounting to about
$1,000 Such additional compensation
over and above $3.50 a month as will
be ultimately allowed the receivers
must, in the case Of Mr.. Seymour. be
applied on his Indebtedness to the
bank.
Attorneys Mum and McDermott. each
representing creditors who at first OBJ
jected to the allowance of $3.50 a month
to Mr.. Seymour, informed the court
that these creditors were DESTROYS OF
withdrawing their objections, as they
were satisfied that Mr. Seymour's in
debtedness to the bank was amply
secured.

Name Derived
From the Pagan
Goddess Ostera.

lamb. The first Sabbath after the
fourteenth day of the March moon
the Gentle Christians celebrated with
joyous religious services the resurrec-
ton Of Christ Neither sect would rec
ognize the others festive day. and the
council Of Nice was greatly perplexed
as how best to please all parties
After continuing their debates, pro
and con- for several months, the eccle-
siastical dignitaries announced that
the bitterly Waged war Of dispute was
| settled. Easter Day was for all time
to be the first Sabbath Immediately
following the fourteenth day of the
March moon. By this arrangement
| the world may celebrate Easter, justly
called the Queen of Festivals" as
early as March %, and again it may
not arrive until April %, when nearly
the entire earth is fragrant with spring
buds and blossoms.
The word Easter is derived from a Pagan
goddess Of the early Teutons called Ostera.
The German word for Easter is Ostern, but
some philologsts maintain that both the Ger.
man and English words come from the an
cient Saxon word Oster. or Osten. meaning
rising" Ostera, the German goddess. was
credited with being the personifcation Of the
morning, and of the East, and also OF the
opening year.
ostera was worshipped very generally In,
Northern Germany, and 1t Is believed that
the fame of the goddess spread to England,
where the Saxons Joined in worshiping her.
Until the beginning Of the present century
court was paid to Ostera by the kindling Of
great bonf1res and in other ways and even !
today in some of the remote districts where
many superstitious beliefs are treasured by5
the peasantry the fame of Ostera still lives..l
The early Christians made the Easter cele- !
bration extend over q period Of eight days,
but in the eleventh century the festival was
reduced to three days, and later to one day.
In olden days Easter the popular time
for baptism. The law courts were shut and
the poor and needy were Toasted regally in
the churches, custom that was much abused
and which led to great disorder. Slaves were
temporarily free, and people gave themselves
mp to hilarity and all sorts Of enjoyment. Pop
ular sports and dances were added, and the
Joyous solemnity Of the day babe fair to ba
ruined.
Indeed. there soon came to be added farrell
cal exhibitions, in which the clergy Joined,
doing and saying all sorts of ridiculous things
in their pulpits, Just to make their hearers
call ''risus pascalis." The custom became so
indecent that the reformers Of the sixteenth
century declared war upon IT and succeeded
In stamping out the sacrilege.
While many curious observances cluster
about Easter, the egg an emblem Of resur-
rection was, and is. most generally used by
all nations. De Gebelin has connected II

an audience with the mayor, whom he
failed to move, when the women were
relieved from further duty. When the
audience learned the state of affairs its
disapproval was manifested strongly,

Doran warmly criticised.
