be wrong to her. for he told himself,
with self-deprecation. that Crane
would make her the better husband.
No. he would carry out his plan to
the bitter end. The dream was so real
to him that he did not for moment
doubt its coming true. He smiled Il
little grimly as he thought how every
one believed him to have one foot in
the grave, and how his naturally pale
face had helped to deceive them.
Mildred would not expect 60 hear
from him, thinking him not able TO
write. Then Crane would begin TO
show her little attentions, and
But here he broke off his reflections,
and found himself feeling glad that he
would be away and would not have to
see the affair going on. When he came
back he would be able to meet her with
no outward show of emotion.

MONKEYS AT FOOTBALL,
They Likewise Play Cricket, but No,
According to Rule.

| Travellers in South Africa have noted
the fact that where monkeys congre-
gate In large numbers they also indulge
In games of a certain kind Two Of
these games seem to resemble cricket
and football.
| The cricket is of a primitive order.
About a dozen monkeys stand in a cir.
Gle, or whatever Is akin To the simlan
idea OF circle. Two OF them advance
from different eXtremlties of the circle
and stop about fifteen yards apart
facing each other. The monkey at the
southern end of the circle has n cocoa
nut in his hand. He Is the bowler
/ The monkey at the other end dves
lAot, - you might suppose, wieid full
cane bat. His business Is To dodge the
| cocoanut which the bowler aims at his
| head. The delivery of the ball Is tre-
| mendously fast, full pitched and
| fraught with dire results II 1t touches
| the spot When 1t does happen to
| touch the spot-that Is, any part of the
| monkeys body-that monkey Is very
much out and doesn't even stop TO dis
pute the question.
Another monkey takes his place until
he, too, receives | is dismissal. 1t was
presumed by the travellers that the
game was finished when majority OF
| monkeys lay nursing their wounds un,
| der the friendly shade of n neighboring
palm.
The foot ball Is of II more advanced
| type. 1t Is also played With cocoanut.
| The game, If anything, Is undoubtedly
the "socker' game and Is played with
the feet or course there Is no goal nor
any tactics to speak Of, the object of
each animal being TO keep the ball to

monkey may elect to play the Rugby

into war, in which life Is sometimes the
prize.

In Honor OF Miss lIumCr.

, of Miss n a lido Hamcr, of Little Rock,
| 5. G., who is spending the Easter holi-
days here, the guest Of their daughter,
Miss Gertrude Carwile.
The occasion was & aced by the pres
! ence Of numbers Of tho youth and beau
ty OF our city, and that each and every
one spent pleasant evening goes with
out saying, as those who know the .on-
iai host and charming hostess can
testify.
One of tho unique features of the
function was the manner in which The
couples were arranged before going to
the elegant repast spread for the en-.
Joyment of the guests. Each young
lady was requested to bring the first
photo taken Of herself, then the photos
were all placed in basket together
and the young gentlemen each drew
from the basket Il photo, and us some
OF the photos were taken when the sub
ject was very youthful, the young gen.
tlcmen had some difficulty in finding
out who it was. This added much to
tho pleasure and amusement of those
present. Whcu each gentleman had
solved the problem as to who he was to
act rs escort to, suppe" was announced
and oil repaired to tho dining room,
where there was an abundance Of good
things for all.
After supper the young people cn-
joyed themselves in various ways until
the wee sma' hours Of the night.
We were very glad to mcct Miss
Hamcr, who is most charming young
lady, and we are safe in saying that we
voice the sentiment of all who have had
the pleasure of meeting her, that we
hope she will soon again visit our city.

The Eustcttide,

Easter Sunday was somewhat of dis
appointment TO the lads and lassics WHO
had supplied themselves with handsome
suits and beautiful hats and dresses, and
anNiously awaited Easter Sunday as the
proper time to make their appearance in
summer dress. To all these Easter Sun-
day must have been discourapinp, the
morning came cloudy and threatening, a
fine rain set III and the Easter dresses had
to be left of for a moro convenient sea-
son. Notwithstanding the inclemcnt
weather, the various churches holding
services had good congregations
Services appropriate 10 Easter were
held i'll all the churches with the cxccp-
ton of the a. X. p. Church, whose pas
tor is absent. The Lutheran church and
the Episcopal church were very hand
somely decorated with great variety of
hot-housc plants, ivy and other ever green
decoration. The pulpit and chanccls OF
both churches we're decorated in a most
attractive manner, the flowers and plants
being very artist. sally arranged, doing
credit to the good ladies Of both churches.
The running vine which twined abou.
the railing Of the cllanccl looked rs if i,
had grown there. Al excellent choir at
the Lutheran church, gotten together for
the occasion, composed Of Mrs p. Rob
crtson, Miss BETTE Land, Mrs S. b. Joncs,
the two Misses Clincs, Mrs. w. *. Sliuh,
Mr.. Eduard Scholtz and Mr.. S. b. tones
furnished most excellent music appro-
pirate to the occasion. The anthem was
especially we'll rendered. There was
possibly larger congregation at the I.u-
theran church than any other church in
town. The large audience room being
we'll filed. The Rev. Mr. FOX preached
short but forcclul sermon OH the rcsur-
rcction. After services the sacrament of
the Lords supper was administered to
the large congregation. Visiting mem-
bcrs Of other churches were invited to
partalie of this supper.
One of the prctticst features of the ser
vices at the Lutheran church was the con-
tirmation OF y children. These tender
lambs being brought into tic fold Of the
Good Sllepperd very forcibly reminded
one OF the passage Of Scripture: "Suffer
little children to come unto Me, for of
siici is the kingdom of heaven"
Services were held in the churches at
night, but OH account Of the rain the at
tendance was not large.
When we think Of this Easter Sunday,
and our mind goes back to the time when
the joyful news was spread abroad that
'Chtist is riscn," that the battle had
been fought and the victory won, and
that He had gone hence to prepare a place
for MS, we cannot help feeling that tn;
should be the most appropriate day in All
the year for praise and JOY, and that there
should be peace III all the earth and good
will among men. But who knows that
the heavy clouds and general gloom of
the last Easter Sunday was forcbodinp
OF the clouds and gloom of raging battles
between tho two countries now on the
verge ola conflict. But let us hope for
the best, and trust that there NAV vet be
way offered for an honorable and
aniacablc arrangement to be perfected
and that peace may reign once agaii,
without the shedding of mans precious
blood. ~
